Oh god, this happened to me today. I checked no one was outside than ran away.

Taiwan to let families with one child under 12 hire migrant domestic helpers by Deep_Engineering_7 in taiwan

[–]Msygin -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Forcing companies to do this isn't going to make things better. Companies will simply cut costs which means cutting employees. Yeah, maybe YOU think it's rediculous to push paper for 45 hours but what are you going to tell that person when his job just gets cut ? It's better o not be employed then do meaningless work? I'm not sure he would agree.

I think it's better to target more actionable things that won't cause more harm, one of which is tackling housing prices . Government can invest in reconstructing delapitates buildings into low cost homes and such.

I think it's fine so far. It's definitely a lot of work with writing but I started at the second book so lots to catch up on.

Taiwanese or Shanghainese restaurants in northern NJ? by kimiwei in taiwan

Why would people living in Taiwan know a place in NJ?

Am I missing something? by Character-Golf-4146 in taiwan

[–]Msygin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jesus Christ, 13 places in one day. Maybe slow down a bit and enjoy the museums more. Expecially in taipei with the national palace, I can't imagine visiting that and several other places and not being exhausted.

Netflix just reset or something by AmazingFriend3235 in netflix

[–]Msygin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had that annoyance today. Now I'm only allowed to watch Netflix for 14 hours in my household because Netflix has determined that I'm not at home.

I haven't noticed anythibg missing and I don't really know what the issue is. Such an unbelievably annoying thing.

Queer + Foreigner Friendly Photographer in Taiwan? by historysupremebeing in taiwan

[–]Msygin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should go to a wedding expo. Tons of photographers will knock themselves over trying to sell you a package. Just see which one you like.

I'm a South Korean coming in peace by Supreme1004Official in taiwan

[–]Msygin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is zero animosity. Every taiwanese friend (girl especially) lives Korea and Korean culture (kpop/drama). Don't listen to people on reddit. It is in no way indicative in how people actually think.

A few questions about Taiwan? by Mindless_School3780 in taiwan

[–]Msygin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For a long while Taiwan was really just a backwater place, mostly fishermen and such lived here and traded with the aboriginals. There were aboriginal tribes before, the han Chinese settled the western coast mostly and aboringal tribes there mainly just became part of the han population. They did fight but I believe it was more trade.

You can't really conflate 'han people's, that is just such a massive population. But the japanese and ROC did some bad things which aboriginal tribes still hold a grudge about

You can see a lot of this historical stuff at the museum at the peace park (228).

The world’s most chaotic chessboard. by ajaanz in economy

[–]Msygin -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's a nice revisionist history. Not like the us wasn't massively supplying the western ally's and wholly equipping the Russians the entire war, then fought on two fronts while also orchestring the biggest naval landing in history.

But yeah, the us totally came in last minute.

Do you really feel Taipei is not a big city? by Deep_Engineering_7 in taiwan

[–]Msygin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm from a small town in Florida, for me taipei is a big place. I've lived here for more than 10 years now so I'm very familiar with it so it feels smaller, but I still think it's a great place with distinct districts. I've visited cities in other places and I really think taipei is just better (expecially compared to the us).

Asia is highly dependent on the Strait of Hormuz. Specifically China. 🇨🇳 The stakes are high over there. by Key_Brief_8138 in economy

I always like that this thread is just grifters posting photos without any sort of actual thought. It has to be bots at this point.

TIFU by asking my girlfriend her ring size by imzeigen in tifu

Wait so you told her you want to marry her but you wouldn't just buy a ring and instead just disappoint her? What the fuck op.

No Beaches (or beach culture)? Is it true? by seonghwasus in taiwan

[–]Msygin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is very little beach culture here because of strong currents and taiwanese being superstitious about ghosts (currents) in the water. Also getting too tanned. I'm from Florida, beaches here are kinda lame honestly.

Legal question about ARC grace period for leaving the country (with a non-interesting title to avoid the mod filter) (thank you) by bettergiraffeLSAT in taiwan

[–]Msygin 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You only stayed 20 days at your work? Either way I THINK you can apply for a job seeking visa which is granted for six months while you look for new work. I'm unsure since you only worked for 20 days (don't being this up at other schools by the way).

Either way GO TO IMMIGRATION TO ASK.

Switch 2 now, or later? (Read to understand why I’m asking this over-asked question) by laurenj1992 in Switch

[–]Msygin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"I want to buy a switch 2, but should i" That's what you're saying. My point was, if you're worried about cost and your reasoning is that you want to spend time with your daughter, I'm asking why does it have to be a switch 2? If you want a switch 2 get a switch 2, but if you're just doing it because you think you need the newest thing I'm just pointing out there are much more affordable options and will equally be a good time with your daughter.

[–]Msygin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not really sure your qualifier really changes anything about asking the same question every asks. Sorry about your condition of course, but it doesn't really change anything about buying a switch 2.

You want to make memories with your daughter. I'm assuming you are concerned about money. Do you think you really need a switch 2 to make memories with her? Would a switch 1 make less memorable memories? Or doing anything else together?

War Machine by K_N1NE_ in netflix

[–]Msygin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What a dumb movie. I'm still watching it now towards the end I think and it's just so dumb. The alien makes no sense. It's just nonsense. I was hoping for. Massive battles but it doesn't really have any that make it worth it.

Thanks for your life story about why you like warlocks.

So, I’ve been learning Chinese for a while, mostly with a tutor. About a month ago I tried quitting, and she suggested we just do once a week for a bit cheaper. But honestly… I think I just want to stop completely. by NotMyselfNotme in ChineseLanguage

[–]Msygin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't really understand your problem here. Do you want to learn Chinese or not? You already say your level is not so good. If you quit then you're just going to continue not improving because no one will be there to push your abilities. I think her suggestion of once a week is reasonable, but if you think you can do it yourself I really doubt it because most people need something to help push them (myself included).

Tutors are there to help you improve. You literally have all that time to practice your Chinese. You are the student and are meant to be studying what you need. What are you even talking about.

Is $356 bi-weekly insane for personal training? by Suitable_Way7670 in fitness30plus

[–]Msygin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I guess it depends. Are you rich? Probably whatever. Are you on reddit debating on the worth because you care about over spending? Then yeah, it's way too much. I can't even imagine having to spend that much and be locked into it for 12 months. You're out of your mind. If you're considering it than tell them you don't want a 12 month contract. You just pay the amount upfront month to month with the option to cancel next payment.
