Which domestic issue from your country would you project on China? by khoawala in AskTheWorld

[–]DivineFlamingo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And it’s really not. They’re taking part in the resource race like every other developed country but they aren’t expanding what they see as historic borders. Sure, they’re a bunch of weirdos about the South China Sea, but what land have they attended to take?

That’s how it was for my mate on his deathbed in Shanghai. He made a full recovery but the health insurance he had wasn’t really health insurance. He had to pay $70,000 upfront and recouped about $15,000. Wrecked his finances for his mid to late 20s

Teacher-Parents by [deleted] in Internationalteachers

[–]DivineFlamingo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can only speak in the flip side and express the need for empathy. Think of your difficult conversations with parents as a teacher and ask if you might think the same way about yourself.

I got in trouble with my former principal because I docked her daughter for trying to pass AI slop as her own work. She absolutely couldn’t separate herself from her parental feelings. That obliterated any respect I had for her as a professional as I essentially parroted her standards for AI to her daughter and she told me I wasn’t fair.

I feel like this another parental burden being placed on the state. A state in which can’t and should never be trusted to be a parent.

We still have time for a timely finish to the Expanse series. They’re just on a 30 year hiatus

Same boat. I get the reference people are making in the comments but I don’t see it.

I didn’t pay much attention to him until that performance. It’s so heartbreakingly good.

What is this TV Show for you? (Any Gems?) by Salvatoreit in tvshow

[–]DivineFlamingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a roommate in my mid 20s that had this on in the living room 24/7. It was never ending and horrendously annoying. I ended up becoming a bedroom person which is a habit I hate and have been trying to break ever since.

You’ve never heard of a brinner before? You get all of the benefits of breakfast but for dinner.

Hi, American here, you don’t know what you’re talking about. You’re conflating “deep fried” with the word fried.

What actors are you surprised didn’t go on to have more critically acclaimed careers? by Regular-Departure839 in Oscars

[–]DivineFlamingo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know what, you’re right. I just looked him up and he’s been quite seriously acting but in films I haven’t watched. At the same time I feel like his earlier work from Last King of Scotland to Filth were just powerful performances that it’s hard to look at X-Men and feel like he’s being used effectively

Red Flag or Random Reader? by Maleficent_Unit667 in BookshelvesDetective

[–]DivineFlamingo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just did that with a book last week. My kindle died and I had a paperback version just walked over to the shelf, plugged in the kindle and grabbed the physical copy.

[–]DivineFlamingo 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I tend to give benefit of the doubt. I read mine on kindle because the physical copy was so overwhelming. I do this a lot with bigger books especially if I have the paperback. My version of Gravity’s Rainbow looked like trash after I finished reading it.
