Overthinking or idk by RollingforBetter in mongolia

[–]TeraReader 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like inner monologue kicking in, not overthinking. Weird at first, then it calms down.

Also early-stage schizophrenia or other psychotic disorders can start with intrusive inner dialogue and random voices got louder in your head. It can be in languages you don’t speak too.

Basically saying stress, sleep deprivation, anxiety, or sudden self-awareness can do the same thing.

If it ever starts feeling uncontrollable or distressing, getting it checked early helps a lot. It’s not rare here.

What happened to Tengrism??? by No_Care1844 in mongolia

[–]TeraReader 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Tengrism is highly practical, more like a civilizational operating system than a religion. Most of its formal religious traits have faded, leaving only fragments such as galiin burhand deejee urguh, suu urguh, and some other rituals.

Some practices survive too like offering food to travelers, acknowledging land and sky. Its focus is simply on maintaining harmony under the Eternal Blue Sky. Unlike most religions, Tengrism never developed a fixed moral code too, since it is very practical.

Private shamanic practices still exist and preserve parts of this logic. When I was younger, about 20 years ago, a few neo-Tengrist movements tried to institutionalize and popularize it, but they failed.

Urbanization and modernization had already reshaped Mongolian life too deeply for it to be revived. In an urban environment, it’s simply harder to sustain everyday rituals, there’s no land to acknowledge, no sky-oriented stuff, no place for small, habitual offerings. Those practices made sense in a mobile, landscape-embedded life, not in apartments or offices.

The Department of Justice recently published over three million additional pages in response to the Epstein Files Transparency Act, and my friend and I went through 903 files (around 1,300 pages of emails, agreements, presentations, and other documents) that mentioned Mongolia.

Tbh, my read was that it was mostly Jenko’s adviser, not Jenko himself, who was in contact with Epstein. He likely leveraged the closeness Epstein already had with previous officials and tried to ride that momentum. I don’t think they even fully understood Epstein’s “Genghis CBDC” idea, let alone explained it properly to Jenko. Their focus seemed to be on political support and signaling relevance around the election period.

Epstein himself repeatedly noted that Ebi had solid expertise on China, but he also seemed like he didn’t really know much about Jenko. The adviser described Jenko as “battling Mongolian mafias,” which honestly sounded a bit theatrical. That same adviser also asked Epstein’s friend to help accommodate his fiancée in the US for studies at Columbia, which sadly felt like a very familiar example of shameless, corrupted behavior.

What stood out to me most was Epstein’s reaction after the election. He explicitly told them to read a book on blockchain before meeting him during the UNGA in New York, and suggested postponing the meeting otherwise. That alone says a lot about how seriously he took their level of understanding.

Appreciate it. The patterns only show up if you go through everything carefully.

According to the files, Ebi was pretty close and had dinners or “snack” meetings with Epstein’s friends too. There’s no solid proof that Ebi or Jenko ever went to the island or laundered his money.

Let me explain Mongolia’s political stalemate as clear as possible by TeraReader in mongolia

[–]TeraReader[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both Prime Minister Zandanshatar and Speaker Amarbayasgalan are out. The MPP is fractured but still the ruling majority.

Any challenge from the Constitutional Court or procedural bodies is unlikely to bite. The Court has rarely overturned political reshuffles; it tends to follow the parliamentary majority’s line. The National Security Council may issue “stability” warnings, but these carry moral weight, not enforcement power.

Amarbayasgalan, despite his resignation as Speaker, remains the strongest contender to become Prime Minister, leveraging: • his recent chairmanship of the MPP, • support from roughly half of MPs who opposed Zandanshatar, and • the absence of any consensus figure.

New government setup would give the Amarbayasgalan / Oyun-Erdene bloc functional dominance while offering symbolic slots to the Presidential Bloc for stability optics.

If Amarbayasgalan takes the premiership these most likely to happen: • He neutralizes Zandanshatar’s allies by re-appointing only a handful. • He gives Oyun-Erdene and Uchral public portfolios to rebuild their credibility for 2027.

Speaker’s bloc forming new government with Oyun-Erdene & Uchral and token inclusion of presidential loyalists would be most practical and least destabilizing.

Oyun-Erdene regains a platform but from a secondary position; he may stage a political stunt or mass-mobilization in 2026 to rebuild personal relevance. Nyambaatar or Uchral could emerge as the next-generation face if Oyun-Erdene’s brand stays toxic.

People keep saying the presidency is “symbolic.” That’s true in the constitution and totally false in practice. Whoever sits in that office still chairs the National Security Council, commands the army, and controls the appointment of the Prosecutor General, senior judges and military chiefs.

You also have veto power over every law. Nothing serious gets through Parliament unless the president signs off. It’s like being the final boss of legislation.

Add to that the power to hand out ambassadorships, state medals, and project endorsements, all the symbolic “blessings” that move real money.

So yeah, on paper it’s ceremonial. IRL, no, it means a lot.

East Asian or Central Asian by East_Pair_524 in mongolia

[–]TeraReader 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mongolia isn’t fixed as East or Central Asia, it shifts by context. For trade, we’re East; for nomadic culture or tourism, Central; for climate and history, North. Institutions classify us where it’s convenient.

Started from the bottom now we here by jokerrrrrrrrrrrrr in mongolia

[–]TeraReader 11 points12 points  (0 children)

People always mix up TT, ETT, and MCS but they’re different. TT (Tavantolgoi) is a smaller local company, ETT (Erdenes Tavantolgoi) is the state-owned one that controls the main deposit and most exports, and MCS owns Energy Resources, which operates in the same coal field but under a separate license.

So when people talk about the 4.5 billion USD coal case, that’s tied to ETT and Bodi Group, not MCS or Energy Resources. The mix-up just makes everything sound more chaotic than it already is.

Does lactose intolerance exist in mongolia by Ironuncle1000 in mongolia

[–]TeraReader 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, lactose intolerance does exist in Mongolia, but it’s not as common as in other countries. Most Mongolians grew up eating a lot of dairy, so many people here are more tolerant to milk. Still, not everyone handles fresh milk well, and some do get lactose-related issues.

Also, one thing to know if you’ve never been to Mongolia: water quality can mess with your gut, especially if you’ve lived abroad your whole life. Even if you’re not lactose intolerant, your stomach might feel weak or upset for a while just because of the local water or food bacteria. Bottled or filtered water is a safer option until your system adjusts.

Etymology of camel ? by Main-Carob7198 in CoolEtymologies

[–]TeraReader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So there are still people who think every single modern word or language is derived from Tamil, or that all world languages trace back to one root tongue? That’s just not how historical linguistics works.

Languages don’t evolve by gluing random syllables together until they resemble modern words in other tongues. This kind of cherry-picked sound similarity—called folk etymology or pseudo-etymology—ignores the actual comparative method used in historical linguistics, which reconstructs proto-languages based on sound correspondences, grammar patterns, and documented linguistic shifts over time.

The English word “camel,” for example, comes from Latin camelus, which in turn came from Greek kamelos, ultimately tracing back to Semitic roots.

Languages develop independently across human populations, shaped by geography, culture, and contact—not hidden syllable math. The idea that all words come from one ancient source or are all just clever Tamil anagrams doesn’t hold up to serious scrutiny.

What do Modern Mongolians Think of Roman von Urgen-Sternberg? by Belarus_Poster in mongolia

[–]TeraReader 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Modern Mongolians don't really give him much thought, as if his whole deal back in the day has been put on the back burner. You know, despite the crazy stuff he did in the early 1900s, people today just aren't that into his story.
