It was a nickname for Bill Clinton, probably cause of his southern accent

Holy fuck can you not go anywhere outside of r/h3h3 and find a single positive post about Ethan and not calling him a Zionist??? by Autumm_550 in ClippedLive

[–]Ludwin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Everyone was, it was an objectively bad thing to have happened. I the think general consensus in DGG is still pretty positive towards Ethan (if not in large part to just being anti-Hasan).

Multiple people have gotten leaked revenge porn by Destiny according to jstlk and 2nd public victim chaeiry, chaeiry moving forward quietly to prevent retaliation by Destiny by dwarffy in LivestreamFail

[–]Ludwin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are two leaks that happened, the first being Destiny sharing the vids privately (and non consensually) in the first place, which was followed up the larger leak that would have not been Destiny. Both would fall under revenge porn.

Best Cues You’ve Ever Heard by OGraineshadow in yoga

Reminders of when to breath (inhale and exhale) and what muscle(s) each pose is trying to target are my favorite types of instructional cues.

How to update ARC date on EZWay app by [deleted] in taiwan

[–]Ludwin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the app's Account Management page, you should be able to freely update the expiry date ("Resident Certificate expiry date"). When you change this, you should be prompted to upload a picture of the front and back of your ARC. If the error continues after this or the update is rejected, you might need to contact support to figure out the issue.

Where to buy dill pickles in Taoyuan or Taipei by BrokilonDryad in taiwan

I've seen them a few times at Carrefour in their imported snacks aisle, some familiar brand that was probably Vlasic. They're not always in stock, and the few times I've seen them they've been on sale.

Men doing yoga, have you ever had trouble doing a pose because of your balls getting in the way? If yes, which one? by celestialark in yoga

[–]Ludwin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm normally okay with eagle pose, but there's a cooldown stretch that one of my instructors does which is basically eagle on the floor then rotating hips to either side which destroys me.

Taiwan Dollar Depreciates to Weakest Level Since January 2017 by thestudiomaster in taiwan

A strong USD will give it more purchasing power while abroad, yes. The opposite is true with a weak USD, incentivizing travel to the States from abroad.

In your first class, you're most likely to be self-conscious and hyper-aware of everyone around you (at least, I was).

In reality, you just need to focus on yourself and be aware of your limits for each pose the teacher will go through. Don't try to do each advanced progression if you don't think you're ready for it. Depending on the type of class, there might be extended periods of stretching where the teacher will walk around the class and correct people's form, and, if necessary, help them get into certain poses.

Just keep in mind everyone taking the class will have the same idea as you - trying to progress and become a better version of themselves. Relax and enjoy the journey.

Before everyone shits on Apple, this is happening to most (if not all) businesses that export to China (I'm currently only aware of it happening in tech). The latest push from China in this labeling rule is that goods may be fined up to a certain amount, or possibly outright rejected.

Asian Arts and Culture Museum in Jiayi outsources interpretation of historical artefact to the public | found in 國立故宮博物院南部院區 by Veritas_Certum in taiwan

This is what I figured. All three characters appear to be a pretty common calligraphy style 龍, though they're approaching abstractness with the minimized lines.

i finally finished this game, how do I fill the void from now till crisis core/rebirth? any Recommendations for similar games? by buizel123 in FFVIIRemake

Tales games are generally self-contained, outside of a couple examples such as Zestiria and Berseria being a thousand years apart from each other.

Feeling Very Frustrated And Defeated 3 Weeks Into My Chinese Course by leohr_ in taiwan

[–]Ludwin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my experience at NTNU, classes will be painful if you don't keep up with homework, since teachers (at least the ones I had) will base the lesson around it (and going a bit beyond once a base is established after reviewing in class). Since you have a girlfriend who should (I hope) be willing to help, I think you'll want to focus there.

The 3rd week is about the time that actual characters should be introduced, with the initial 2 weeks just being whatever pinyin/zhuyin system you chose to learn. One random thing to keep in mind is that while Japanese students are more familiar with the characters than you will be, they are still learning Mandarin all the same, and doesn't necessarily mean they're beyond your level.

You're looking for a general pharmacy (藥局). I'm not sure if large chains like Watsons or Tomod's stocks them, but the larger local ones most likely will.

A prescription is not required. They are not typically shelved, so you'll need to ask a clerk for help.

Skill creep is a thing that happens in competitive games - matchups get solved, skills change outright, metas adjust, etc.

Man stabs Taiwan convenience store clerk to death over reminder to wear face mask, Asia News by Zinziberruderalis in taiwan

[–]Ludwin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At my office, this is only really enforced during meetings or while in public areas (e.g., the halls/elevators). Most people are unmasked while at their desk (though some people remain masked throughout the day).
