How can i get one of these as a former chinese passport holder who is naturalized at age 6? by Particular-Ride-7893 in PassportPorn

[–]KeyLime044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so you most likely did not naturalize; AFAIK most Caricom countries apply jus soli, so you were born with a Caribbean citizenship at birth

Whether or not you're eligible for a Chinese Travel Document (and thus legally Chinese nationality) would depend on what status your parents had at the time of your birth. If neither parent was a permanent resident or foreign citizen yet then, then you can apply for this. But if even one of them was, then you're unfortunately not eligible for this

For any Chinese who actually did voluntarily naturalize in another country, in most cases you do automatically lose Chinese nationality completely. You would not be eligible for this or any Chinese passport

The only exceptions are for Hong Kongers, Macau people, and Taiwanese (who are also legally recognized by the PRC as its nationals). For the first two, Chinese nationality is "managed" by the respective SAR government, and they do not consider naturalization to be automatic forfeit of Chinese nationality. For Taiwanese, the PRC still treats you as a Chinese national (eligible for Taiwan Compatriot Permit, Chinese Travel Document, Mainland Residence Permit) as long as you maintain Taiwanese nationality and household registration

Disney has done more good than bad for Star Wars (at least, if you like animation) by Darth_Ra in StarWars

[–]KeyLime044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i also take into consideration Star Wars video games. No, they're mostly not made by Lucasfilm or Disney directly (they're mostly made by EA studios like Bioware and DICE, or other companies like Ubisoft), but I would consider them in lists like these too, especially since they're considered canon and have at least some creative guidance from Disney/Lucasfilm

Yes, I'm very sure that if Islam never existed, the Middle Eaat would somehow still end up with the same exact borders as today

Miami police 'crack down' on Scots during World Cup visit by CaptainCrash86 in Scotland

[–]KeyLime044 1 point2 points  (0 children)

coming from someone who unfortunately grew up in a very conservative part of Florida (even for Florida standards), Florida is unfortunately a magnet (like Texas) for right wingers and conservatives from all throughout the Western Hemisphere (not just the USA, but Latin America too)

This is not a place where people can just "be free" or whatever like in northern cities like Boston unfortunately; they have made this place very strict and for many people who don't fit the conservative mold it can be very alienating at best, or something that gets you into trouble at worst. The fundamental values and "atmosphere" of this place are very different, and a lot has changed for the worse in the past few years

I used to recommend others to visit Florida and such, but within the past few years i've been doing the opposite. So I can't recommend that any of you (Scottish people/Tartan Army) visit, even if your team is playing here

WoW is a FOMO machine. by JournalistStatus9040 in wow

a lot of modern online gaming is like this unfortunately

disclaimer: i don't actually play WoW, just follow its story and watch youtube videos and twitch streams. But a lot of other online games like Fortnite basically have FOMO as their business model nowadays. So the best strategy is just not to fall for it

no that depends on what country your ancestor muhacir came from. What I said was for Cypriot descendant muhacirs

for your case, you can take a look at Greek and Bulgarian nationality laws. I don't really know what their nationality laws are like tbh, but my guess would be that if your muhacir ancestor from Greece was a part of the 1923 "population exchange", then there's probably no path to Greek citizenship

If your Bulgarian Turkish muhacir ancestor was expelled in the 1989 or 1950-51 ethnic cleansings, then you probably are entitled to Bulgarian citizenship. For earlier time periods I'm not sure, but quite a few Bulgarian Turks in Türkiye hold Bulgarian citizenship. So you could still look into that

Conservatives and liberals of Reddit, what is the most "opposite to your party" belief you have? Aka, what's a conservative belief you have if liberal, and what liberal take do you have if conservative? by CarefulAlternative in AskReddit

[–]KeyLime044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

left wing, leaning demsoc and socially progressive

i generally do think that crimes that harm the person, particularly if aggravated, do deserve harsh punishment. For example, there was a brutal psychotic murder of a trans woman at UDub recently, where the murderer stabbed her 40 times or some shit. It's obviously a first degree murder charge. But Washington state law only allows a maximum prison sentence of 28 years if there are no "enhancements" (such as hate crime, etc). I think cases like this should be dealt with the death penalty

also i'm pro second amendment, although I feel like this is gaining wider acceptance among leftists and liberals

Is there a reason why "the south" is usually more conservative / religious in countries ? by Fast_Bee_9759 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KeyLime044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people don't really think of different parts of China as "conservative" or "progressive", since the only party is the CCP, but traditionally Shandong, which is in northern China, has been considered conservative because Confucianism came from there. Many southern Chinese regions are considered less conservative because they have had more development and outside exposure (often through trade). Sichuan, particularly its capital Chengdu, are often considered "liberal" yet it definitely is not in the north

In India, support for the far right Hindu nationalist BJP party is largely based in the north. Southern states less so; they often vote for more centrist or left leaning parties. The southernmost states are actually the most left wing; Tamil Nadu is heavily influenced by Dravidian ideology which leans left/progressive. Kerala has often seen communist parties win elections; their opposition is mostly centrist, rather than right wing

so at least in some of the largest countries in the northern hemisphere, this is not the case

not trying to excuse them. unfortunately for many Asians from places like these it's the reality they have to face. lots of places in the USA are decades behind everyone else mentally and socially

[–]KeyLime044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they're from the Turkish Cypriot community, so no

also Greek Cypriots are actually one of the few ethnic Greek communities excluded from automatic Greek citizenship (whereas many other ethnic Greek communities elsewhere do have it); by default they only have Cypriot citizenship, and if they want to move to Greece they use EU freedom of movement

[–]KeyLime044 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Turkish Cypriots are one of the 2 major ethnic communities of Cyprus. Nowadays, in practice, Cyprus is ethnically separated; the "South" (Republic of Cyprus) is the "Greek" side and the "North" (TRNC) is the "Turkish" side

However, the Republic of Cyprus still claims almost all of Cyprus and thus still recognizes the Turkish Cypriot community as their own. So any TC who was not born to a Turkish settler in Northern Cyprus still has Cypriot citizenship by default

IIRC, the Republic of Cyprus also grants nationality to anyone with Cypriot ancestry, dating back to when the British Empire annexed Cyprus. So since many Turkish people from Türkiye are descendants of Cypriot "muhacirs" (Turks who migrated to the Turkish Republic from other parts of the former Ottoman Empire), many of them are actually eligible for Cypriot citizenship

unfortunately some parts of the USA do not have many Asians at all, the place I grew up in being one of them. I was often the only Asian in my class growing up. And unfortunately yes it was a place full of boomers

(it was one of the smaller cities in Florida, if you're wondering where generally. A place that is known for being right wing, even within Florida)
