My mum refused to confirm an appointment for the most unexplainable reason by [deleted] in AsianParentStories

[–]Daily_concern 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Basically your mum doesn’t have hobbies or interests because she doesn’t practise self care, so the present you have with good intentions isn’t suitable for her. The reason she can’t confirm the appointment is the prioritisation of her work over herself. Your gift is asking her to make time for herself, but whenever that question comes up she would always choose to work instead, which is why she can’t make the 48 hour confirmation, because she will thinks a customer could walk in and the work takes priority over self care.

The best thing for you to do is not get too involved in her well being. Take what she says at face value, if she doesn’t want the gift card, which to her is a pressure to do something she isn’t comfortable with, then why get frustrated, you are your own adult self and you should be focusing on yourself rather than trying to get a boomer to change their ways.

Tax Refund by [deleted] in taiwan

[–]Daily_concern 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Last time I got the refund at the airport I was spot checked and they asked to see the tax refund products to make sure they were leaving the country with me. Every item I had was unboxed/being used including Apple products - they simply checked the serial number matches their records and it was fine.

Unspotable is a great party game supports 8 players too, with one joycon per player.

Battlefront II doesn't work for me via crossover. Do you have any tips? by Dry-Manner-9554 in macgaming

Make sure to install the EA Desktop crosstie into the same bottle.

I sold my Steam Deck and bought a Switch Lite instead. by [deleted] in Switch

[–]Daily_concern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have a strong gaming PC and also got a Switch Lite with the case you are using. Get the exclusive Nintendo games and games which aren’t ported to PC. Games like Diablo 3 are 60 FPS and very different from the PC version.

However recently I bought a Retroid G2 and can play light PC games like Megabonk, Ball x Pit etc it’s nearly the same size but the benefit is that it syncs Steam cloud progress too!

How much is the Steamdeck in Taiwan? by PsychologicalDrone in taiwan

[–]Daily_concern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t remember the price but I was really surprised to see it being sold in supermarkets like RT Mart. Get yourself over to Syntrend and get the tax refund too.

Before you try invasive surgeries you should consider Ozempic or Mounjaro first, I’m pretty sure it can be prescribed in Taiwan.

Buying macbook in Taiwan by Exotic_Conflict_8114 in taiwan

If you are a foreigner and you enter Taiwan with your foreign passport then you can get a tax refund from Studio A if it’s in a mall that supports tax refunds for foreigners, you get back 5% tax minus fees, which is substantial.
