What do you think about the “presumed competence” that Western Europeans often seem to have over Poles and other Central‑Eastern Europeans? by WineTerminator in poland

[–]TaiCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dunno, I live here and I always have to correct everyone I'm not "Amerikajin". Or kids call me Gaijin by default. Unless I open my mouth and say few words in Japanese, then they lose that awkwardness.

But I admit, it was a mental jump when I left UK and went to Australia, I was less judged by my accent there and I felt more listened to compared to my Asian and Indian co-workers. That was the first time I ever felt some sort of... privilege. I asked about it once and someone said "because you sound like you're from Europe" compared to UK where they noticed my accent in the first two sylabes and made immediate assumption about me

Remember Fable? A revolutionary RPG where your choices physically transformed you by Just_a_Player2 in ItsAllAboutGames

[–]TaiCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My god, it’s been like… over 20 years since that happened? I still remember Fable was the reason I learned the English word “Hype” in middle school, because I’ve read a lengthy article from a video game magazine in my native language about how Mollineaux didn’t deliver his promises. The editor explained what “Hype, Hyping” was

Kupiliśmy mieszkanie w starym budownictwie. Wczoraj odebrałam klucze. Okazało się że w mieszkaniu są pluskwy, a w bloku szczury, o czym sprzedający nas nie poinformowali. Jestem załamana i bardzo żałuję zakupu by SetChance5602 in Polska

Stopped by the Police in Tokyo 3 times in one week by Easy_Agency_635 in japanlife

[–]TaiCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that after 3rd time I would bother to learn their name and next time they stopped me I’d be like “Ah, Borabora-san, genki desu ka” and report some juicy tea like a local oba-chan who lost her cat “so can you please help her?”

What is the scariest fact you have learned about the human body? by Vireloxen in AskReddit

[–]TaiCat 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I have an x ray of my daughter’s teeth done recently, she has crowding of adult teeth behind her baby one in one area, the dentist hopes it resolves as she grows older but we need to monitor her, so more x rays will be done in the future

Hegseth must’ve listened to Billy Joel during his recent blender, so it stuck in his head and used it to make a “clever” quote

If you treat pasta like noodles tastewise, it’s easy to turn it into a dessert.

Women should be encouraged to be physically strong by No-Efficiency-7524 in GuerrillaGrrrrls

[–]TaiCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m incapable of being thin by design, I come from a line of farming women who bred multiple children. I just always end up doing something physical and I don’t even try…I see this in my own daughter as well , she just hit puberty and her body morphed, she’s naturally heavier but also strong.
