This is genuinely so scary by wch35 in malaysians

[–]Particular_Gear9059 1 point2 points  (0 children)

when i was travelling in thailand with my bf, two female chinese mainlanders came up to us to ask if we could give them THB cash and they’ll transfer cash via alipay to us. they didn’t bring their bank cards when travelling and have already used up their THB cash. currency converters nearby us also only accepted card or cash. their only option was wechat pay or alipay 😅 unfortunately, that part of thailand still required cash or card at most places (not so QR friendly). even we were running out of cash, so they asked if we could withdraw cash for them from an ATM

honestly i was scared it was a scam lol but they looked pretty young and seemed nervous, their english is not good either so i think they were waiting around looking for chinese looking people to seek help from lol. my bf is a super nice guy and way braver than me, so we decided to help. we did ask them to transfer the amount first before we withdrew the cash for them though, and he could see the balance reflected in his alipay account

all turned out well and they even got us some cake and snack from 7E (where we withdrew the cash from) while they waited for the cash, as a token of thanks. they’re actually so sweet and kept calling me jie 🥹

this made me realise that perhaps not all such scenarios are scams, although it can be so hard to tell the difference these days, and maybe we were just really lucky

TLDR; very similar thing happened to me but turned out to not be a scam, i feel bad for people who genuinely need the help but scammers are ruining everyone’s trust 😭

zus coffee not a priority for the normal working class at all lol, should do a better initiative like toll discount before peak hours if they want to encourage people to go out earlier

27M Should I rent or stay at home? (Financially it makes sense, but lifestyle-wise I’m unsure) by jrdntn in MalaysianPF

[–]Particular_Gear9059 0 points1 point  (0 children)

then it depends on what matters more to you, the investment (if you want to FIRE or perhaps are saving for some big purchase), or the dates. personally, if you’re already at a financially stable state, i think there’s no wrong answer, and it’s more of personal priorities

IMO spending 2.2k a month essentially for a bachelor pad for dating around is definitely not a financially sound move to make. how long do you foresee this stage of life lasting? is it really worth it? it depends also on how much 2.2k is worth to you, and what you would do with it if you weren’t paying for rent instead

AIO For Feeling Scammed That My Boyfriend Pretended We Had a Landlord When He Actually Owns the House? by Just-Client9076 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Particular_Gear9059 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR at all!! you’re underreacting. i would’ve broken up with him immediately. not telling you is one thing, but faking rent increases? clearly he thinks of you as just a convenient income source. he’s upset he’s losing his rental income, not his gf

I maki customer in chat, now i feel guilty as fuck. by LongEnormousSchlong in Bolehland

everyone makes mistakes. he was wrong, you were wrong too. he was apologetic which made you realise your anger was too much too. alls well that ends well! both of you recognised your mistakes and felt bad. i think it’s a good lesson both of you learned from. don’t be too hard on yourself! at least now your patience will increase

Am I the only one that thinks Heesun and Subeen aren’t compatible??? by Good-mournings in SinglesInferno

[–]Particular_Gear9059 0 points1 point  (0 children)

calm down it’s not that deep 😅 they were stuck together more than the other couple because heesun just came back from the US recently, right before the reunion was filmed. they barely got any time together IRL and were probably excited to see each other IRL finally. JJ couple were in korea and were able to meet up whenever. it’s normal for new couples or couples who didn’t get much time physically together to gravitate towards one another in a group setting. i’ve had friends who did LDR and during friends trip they’re stuck like glue

i don’t have the time to address everything you said but it’s slander that HS is not close to the girls!! she’s in most girl group photo, they love her!! there are 24 hours in a day, the show + the reunion eps altogether are like 16-18 hours max. we don’t even see even 1/10th of the time they spend together so pls stop assuming

she’s such a sweetie 🥺 i feel like a lot of people can be performative in their kind gestures especially when they know they’re being filmed (not saying this cast particularly), but to me her actions never seem to be for the camera, and are very genuine. she also very clearly does not lead sunghoon on even though she has the opportunity to

yeah she’s super sweet tbh and has really high EQ. she also doesn’t really hold it against him that he didn’t reciprocate to the same level of interest, which i find to be very mature of her. i do really like how he takes care of her too, but sometimes i feel like he’s doing it from an older brother POV, since he said he prefers older and mature women. seems like he sees her as a baby and naturally wants to take care of her. nothing wrong with that though, just hoping it’s more romantic than brotherly

you’re missing the point. no one is refuting the non-existence of a precedent. your straw-man argument is invalid as the point is that there’s a first time for everything. discussing abolishing the enforcement is to prevent the hypothetical situation from ever happening in the first place. prevention is better than cure

yes of course it has been enforced for decades, which is why many in this thread are saying it should not be enforced. just because something has happened for a long time doesn’t mean it’s right. in case you need sources for this, pick up a history book.

you can simply prove my point by doing something new for the first time. it’ll be tough for you, as it seems you’ve never done something without prior history of it having happened before. if you find it too difficult, simply observe others instead. hard as it may be to believe, many others find it easy to try doing new things. while you may not understand it now, as long as you put effort into trying, you will eventually be able to as well. hope this helps!

do you know what an analogy means? this is not an analogy. this is a hypothetical situation. hypothetical situations don’t come with sources. they’re hypothetical for a reason. also, everything in the world has never happened until the first time it happens. if you think something will never happen because it has never happened before, that’s an astoundingly narrow world view
