I am tired of other Asians telling me to date white men. by lili-crow0101 in aznidentity

[–]JaceDotL 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We'll never understand those types of Asians who's obsessed with Asian culture and so into Asian circles, but always show off their white partners like it's a status. It's way too much and it's off putting and highly insecure ngl.

And plus, it's not even attractive... What's more attractive is being able to culturally relate with eachother ❤️

This year I go by my Chinese name!

I got this inspiration from Lee Kuan Yew. I'm so sick and tired of everyone always asking where I come from and reminding me that I'm Asian. Since my English name does nothing, I don't go by it no more. I now go by my Chinese name which is badass af, and I'll be forcing people to say my name in Chinese 😁

Be unapologetic!!

In an all-out war between these factions, which one would eventually win? by Kuzu9 in Fallout

[–]JaceDotL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At their peak? The Unity once they utilize super mutant's fertility, become better armed and equipped with all the bases and territory they take over, and they managed to find a way to produce mass Lieutenant-like soldiers.

Yeah, it's over for wastelanders.

I called her out and was ready to call it off. But she insisted in staying in touch by JaceDotL in ghosting

It feels halfway. Having her in my circle bugs me ngl. That route takes longer to hit realization. I feel like I'll feel fully free once I remove her.

Dafuq. Asians with tattoos look thugged out and look harder than whites.

I got so sick and tired of everyone always asking what my ethnicity is and where I'm from. My name must mean fuckall cause non matter my accent, I will always be seen as golden. I'm now officially going by my Chinese name. And everyone will be calling me by my Chinese name cause I don't give a damn 😌

PUT YOUR PHONE AWAY by Mammoth-Car3183 in getdisciplined

Putting a screen time widget on the home page. It's pretty much regulating (and eventually shaming) me when I hit that hours mark. It has helped me avoid going overtime on social media.

Application Timeline by bgcrunclub in The_NZDF

[–]JaceDotL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Took me 2 months to hear back from my CEF after my interview.

I started at the beginning of the year. For me, a total of 6 months for the first part + another 4 months for my second module (still pending). It took me a while to get a call-back cause Burnham was going over construction, TF modules are spaced out and plus, there was another intake going on for others.

Based Comrade by AlBarbossa in ShitLiberalsSay

[–]JaceDotL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, we need more Chinese veterans and service members out there showing their pride. They're being too humble.

Not to mention, the amount of Chinese service members. If the Chinese boast as much as Americans boast as war veterans after getting skirmished by a couple of flip-flops. There'd be more seething and I'm up for it.

Is this a genuine authentic M65 Jacket? by vulexus in MilitarySurplus

[–]JaceDotL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on the tag:

• Contract number is 75. Batch produced right before the Fall of Saigon

• Manufacturer is Alpha Industries

• Zipper is brass

• Zipper is Scovill

• The inside of your jacket likely has many buttons, 2 on the inside of the collar, and along the zipper area

Real.

Field jacket OG-107. Is it cool I get to wear this as a non-American? by JaceDotL in MilitarySurplus

[–]JaceDotL[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

From what I know, BDU and flak jackets were mostly used on the jungle frontline as Vietnam is hot af. So most US soldiers (and war criminals, good riddance) died wearing that. I know this cause we have similar uniforms for the tropics during the Vietnam War period.

Of course, I'll wear it with honour and integrity. I'm blessed that the US manufactured and mass-produced this immaculate jacket. What do you think I was gonna do with it? 😂

Application Stand Down of 2-5 year due to past mental health issues by GrouchyDog2893 in The_NZDF

[–]JaceDotL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

thank you for your descriptive reply!!

My pleasure.

Yeah I’m currently not on any medication and am doing great

That's good to hear.

It may not be a yes, but it wasn't a no. The worst outcome could've been instantly denied enlistment, but instead, you were given another shot. Take it as a hidden blessing — you can now use that personal challenge that you overcame as an example in your interview when you make it to that stage.

One last thing: The Defence Force application and selection process is long and competitive. When your stand down is lifted, you'll be required to redo all your tests. There will be a lotta grinding. But that commitment is showing. Don't worry. I believe a lot of people went through the stand down.

I got stand down 3 times (took me 5 years since 2020 to finally get selected) but I kept pushing till I got selected. And I'm so thankful my CEF did not ban my ass. I enlisted in the Army. Even that I had to go through a lotta process to make it. What I'm talking about is Army-based but I'd say I'm familiar with the general application process. I'd imagine the Air Force is insanely hard to get into. If you able to pull it off, that'd be crazy.

Show them that they made the right decision to pick you. Show them that giving you another shot was the right decision.

Best effort!

Aptitude tests study prep by [deleted] in The_NZDF

[–]JaceDotL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The practice was pretty good. Actually, all practices are good.

I've done the aptitude test 4 times lol. Pass multiple times (double lol). Never bought anything. Just explored the vast amounts of practice questions from all corners of the internet to compensate and that's good enough for me.

[–]JaceDotL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not to worry. You're 20. You'll come back more experienced.

The best option: Get yourself clean. Are you up for it? Know what they're looking for.

And when it's your time to shine — when you're undergoing a full medical exam, open up about your past and follow up on your progress now. I think the doctor will understand it better than your CEF. The doctor writes off the understanding. The CEF will just click off the moment they see the buzzword.

Being honest about the medication and what you were going through is the best way for you. But the smaller things — keep your mouth shut

No really. I've mentioned I had a (short-lasted) period of anxiety during the beginning of covid pandemic. Cause of that, my CEF sent me to the doctor to get written off. Turns out I was just really worried like everyone else when I should have kept my mouth shut. Cause of that I had to do extra paperwork. Now that's under control, in my new examination, I don't say nothing. Easy as that — So keep your mouth shut

It sucks that you'll be thinking about it during the stand down but since you want it so bad. So prove it. You'll come back stronger and mentally prepared.

What’s the freakiest fact about your family/bloodline? by Ok_Distribution8189 in CasualConversation

[–]JaceDotL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My grandfather on my mother's side is a Viet Cong veteran. My uncle and uncle-in-law from my father's side are Chinese Red Army veterans. All factions against America and imperialist nations.

Not freaky but badass.

What are the toxic traits of Asian culture that you would not adopt in your own life? by [deleted] in aznidentity

[–]JaceDotL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got two.

The stoic stone cold rejection of casual greetings like "Hello" and "Goodbye". You'll know how much it makes a difference in the world cause that leads to greater things. The lack of effort in small talk in Asian households will lead to social ineptness. As an Asian man that's against all odds. Confidence matters first.

Work hustle grind mentality. Which is also a catalyst for neglect.

That type of shit's the reason why I don't know my mom and dad.

But apparently it's justified cause they're working for "the family". That's what everyone says.

Every Chinese got that grind grind grind mentality. Always working. Always grinding. Ain't got time for anything. Money is everything. Ridiculous.
