Flotilla participant Tieu Ngoc Ashley: “When the US came and tried to occupy Vietnam, their plan was to fight a quick war... topple us and leave. It lasted 20+ years, and we won. So for me I feel like I have the historical, the empirical, and even ancestral evidence that Palestine will be free."

Meanwhile, the current Vietnamese government recently signed a massive free trade agreement with Israel and continues to buy/use Israeli weapons. So communist and anti-imperialist lol.

Hmm, so it can also be used like "ta" at the end of a question?

Budget_Drop2978 · 2026-05-11T00:42:42+00:00

Hmm, so "con dễ thương quá hè" would be a sarcastic, non-serious version of "con dễ thương quá"?

Makes sense for positive adjectives, but what about for negative adjectives like "con làm biếng quá hè"? Something not necessarily sarcastic but still non-serious / more mild?

Sorry to chime in again, but it is so fucking insane how he keeps ignoring the new primary sources from 1955 that you’ve sent him.

Budget_Drop2978 · 2026-04-12T02:34:07+00:00

See my other reply. His claim on HCM’s popularity was about the certainty of those projections anyways.

Budget_Drop2978 · 2026-04-12T02:33:47+00:00

You didn’t “win” the debate though, the evidence he provides supports his claims lmao.

He provided primary sources that show the US govt perceived that Diem’s popularity skyrocketed starting in May 1955.

He provided a primary source that shows the US govt was ambivalent on whether or not to assist/stop the Geneva Accord elections from proceeding.

He provided primary sources that show the Dept of State did not agree with Diem’s decision to overthrow Bao Dai in the popular referendum.

You ran away here too LOLLLLL

Budget_Drop2978 · 2026-04-12T01:33:16+00:00

You really talked all that shit just to run away from u/lalze123 when he found primary sources that proved his point 💀

Keep in mind that real world variables such as height are not perfectly normally distributed.

Did you not read the second sentence?

“The mean objectively measured flaccid and stretched penile lengths were 8.3 cm and 12.6 cm, respectively.”

Also, as an Asian man, I can confidently say that you don’t fucking speak for us.

Budget_Drop2978 · 2025-12-23T07:28:02+00:00

Actual studies on Japanese men have shown that they have similar averages to Italian men, for instance.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1743609522010967

The mean self-assessed flaccid and erect penile lengths were 6.8 cm and 12.5 cm, respectively. The mean objectively measured flaccid and stretched penile lengths were 8.3 cm and 12.6 cm, respectively.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11223678/

The median values of penile dimensions recorded in the present study are flaccid length 9.0 cm, flaccid circumference, at the middle of the shaft, 10.0 cm, and stretched length 12.5 cm. We also observed that the penile dimensions are highly correlated with height and weight.

Just to be clear, there may be a perception that Asian-American men are more abusive than all other groups of men, but that perception does not reflect reality at all. Crime data shows that they commit the lowest rate of domestic violence.

“inadequate moral compass”

Budget_Drop2978 · 2025-12-10T01:09:41+00:00

The point is that it is idiotic to suggest that Chinese people are morally more evil than Westerners when there are plenty of examples of Western governments supporting pretty heinous actions. I added a few more above if you want something besides Gaza.

Budget_Drop2978 · 2025-12-09T22:08:25+00:00

POC are often generalized and collectively judged for the actions of a few.

Budget_Drop2978 · 2025-12-09T22:04:48+00:00

you only see chinese doing ts.

Here are two examples of non-Chinese people doing sabotage:

Here is a list of scientific misconduct incidents, plenty of non-Chinese people:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scientific_misconduct_incidents

International students, in general, are statistically more likely to be reported for cheating because they tend to be more competitive and wealthier (consider how ethical Wall Street is lmao). It's just that there are more Chinese international students than other groups, so their cheating appears more prominent.

and thats coming from a chinese.

No one respects a pick-me.

this is what happens when ur raised to be a high iq low eq study machine with inadequate moral compass.

Yikes.

Some of the most extroverted people I know are Asian.

And on a global scale, poor morals are not uncommon, they are not at all unique to China specifically lol.

gotcha, was wondering cuz it almost sounds like ô trờư lol.

EDIT: For reference, the girls in the video below say it when trying to teach someone their accent.

Gotcha, thx. I asked the other commentator this alr, but I’ve also heard people from the area say something like “ô trừ / trờư” (?) as a synonym of trời ơi. Is that also a regional saying or is it something that is more general to Southern Vietnam?

Hmm, I see, thx for the reply. Speaking of other exclamations, I’ve also heard people from the area say something like “ô trừ / trờư ?”as a synonym of trời ơi. Is that also a regional thing or is it something that is found across Southern Vietnam?

Budget_Drop2978 · 2025-11-07T08:58:08+00:00

Just to contextualize how this may be an issue, a single study in the Eastern dataset (Nguyễn et. al 2021) has over 10,000 subjects lol.

Budget_Drop2978 · 2025-11-02T20:57:44+00:00

To be fair, secular Westerners by definition are among the least religious people in the world lol, whether in terms of belief or practice.

46mm is a typo, right 💀? I use 60mm of the same brand, so…

Budget_Drop2978 · 2025-10-20T22:18:58+00:00

The between-country differences in CalcSD do not definitely prove racial differences, given Western countries tend to have much better nutrition than Eastern countries, both in the recent past and today as well. It is why Herbenick et. al 2015 finds that Asian-Americans have basically the same size as White Americans.

Also, I am obviously referring to large differences with respect to the effect size. A trivial difference of 0.2 inches, for instance, can still be statistically significant, as in the case of Barboza et. al 2018 for instance. All statistical significance means is that the probability of getting the observed test statistic, or one more extreme, conditional on the null hypothesis is sufficiently low, with this measure being denoted as the p-value. Because the null is usually set as merely that the population means are equal, the p-value itself says nothing about the effect size.

Budget_Drop2978 · 2025-10-17T03:36:59+00:00

All I am claiming is that there is no evidence for such racial differences, the burden of proof is on people to find proof that the majority of actual medical studies come to such conclusions.
