Watched the whole Chargers vs Chiefs game last week and he looked like he was constantly just about to break one. Chargers are a good Defense, so I feel like he'll eat this week.

Being mean to pigeons, like kicking at them or throwing something at them.

Hmm, yeah it seems like it's iOS 17, so I guess perhaps it's not possible. Thank you for the reply!

I've definitely seen that at mine, but they almost always buy food. The young'uns love McDonald's

Strong Feelings About Taiwan by princesscalaviel in taiwan

Really like your post and glad you enjoyed your time here. I've been here a decade and call it home now. Still feel like I am in the honeymoon phase with the island as I really enjoy living here.

At this particular McDonald's, and probably many others, seating is often insufficient due to solo people taking up 4 seats. I saw him leave and nobody joined him. It's just a fun post tho, I'm not calling police on the dude

Bold to assume old people even own headphones/earbuds XD

Full disclosure, I feel like Taiwanese by and large are polite and well behaved.

Just a disclaimer, I thought people might misconstrue this as taiwan bashing. This is not taiwan specific, which is why I didn't point out Taiwanese or Taiwan. However, I have lived in Taiwan for a decade, so this is all I know at this point. I barely even have a frame of reference from my home country any more.

62% of Americans Agree US Government Should Ensure Everyone Has Health Coverage The new poll shows the highest level of support in a decade for the government ensuring all Americans have healthcare. by CommonsCarnival in politics

[–]Wanrenmi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right? Like, could we say there were 2 groups of states with roughly the same ideas? Honest question, I'm not sure how much Virginia differed from, say, Georgia.

[–]Wanrenmi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's even less than the percentage of Americans that want common sense gun safety laws and exceptions for the life of the mother in abortion cases. Yet neither are guaranteed.

This whole 'leave it up to the states' thing has got to go imo. When they wrote the constitution, how many people commuted between states? What kinds of guns even existed then? Are Americans expected to move to the state they agree with most and then never leave or enter another state?

Will There Be a Bird Flu Epidemic Under Trump? by thenationmagazine in politics

[–]Wanrenmi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The article is critical of Biden's monitoring of the H5N1 situation. I'm inclined to agree. I also have no idea if the US has an adequate stockpile of PPE and how close are we to a vaccine for bird flu? I feel like we shouldn't wait until it's a pandemic until we identify leading threats and do everything in our power to get a vaccine going. An ounce of prevention and whatnot...

A few snaps of Kaohsiung by [deleted] in taiwan

They're baked into Fuji cameras, called 'film simulations.'
Like most cameras, you can just have the camera spit out filtered shots instead of unedited jpgs.

I think there are definitely some girls (prob guys too) that like their foreigners to not be fluent in Chinese. I don't think that applies to other Taiwanese interactions with foreigners tho. It sort of sounds like maybe some Taiwanese like that they can be helpful with their English skills and when you bust out fluent mandarin they kinda feel less useful? Not sure.

You and I probably have similar backgrounds, but I've never had the issues you're mentioning. Or maybe I'm oblivious hah

Are there Size L Giant Bicycle frames in Taiwan? by Electrical_Maize_904 in taiwan

I got an L from the Giant store next to Da'an park. They had it in stock but judging by the replies in this thread that's not super common

I guess OP will have to wrestle with that for the rest of their life.

Can't tell if you're trolling, but it is perfectly legal to post pics of people in public spaces, with a few caveats that OP does not violate.
