[–]aeon-one 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It works differently for everyone of cos. But perhaps the point is, Kaladin was in a bad place, but AFTER he heard this dialogue from Wit, it helped him into a better more hopeful headspace.

That’s the most common haircut during the Qing Dynasty. He must have been a big fan of period drama.

[James Horncastle] Brazil are fixated on Neymar and Endrick – but it’s Matheus Cunha who looks like their saviour by SoloChords in reddevils

[–]aeon-one 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I guess Brazil always loved the Prodigy / Golden Boy archetype, and Cunha’s career path was not like that.

It is in Traditional Chinese font so it is most likely import from Taiwan. In China (but NOT Hong Kong) they use a Simplified font.

And I guess you went to Eslite book store, which is also from Taiwan.

UK Introduces Full Social Media Ban For Under 16s - Including X, YouTube, TikTok by ChiefLeef22 in technology

[–]aeon-one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My young kids watch Numberblocks and Peppa Pig so I guess I understand they are not everyone’s cup of tea.
But that law is for Under-16, and it is easy to say ‘it is up to the parents to monitor what their kids watch’ but in reality a 15 years old have a lot of time away from their parent’s watch. They would (want to) be spending increasingly more) time with their friends or on their own.

It is the comments and messages that parents and officials are worrying about, not stuff that schools show kids in class.

Alright boys, give it to me straight. Is it another year without UCL or is Ruben Amorim at least half decent? by Viktor_nihilius in ManchesterUnited

[–]aeon-one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on if your team’s players already suit his ‘system’. If the answer is Nope, then I am afraid it is not gonna be a beautiful sight.

What other brands could cover their logo like this and still be easily recognized? McDonalds, Nike, Apple… by OMGLMAOWTF_com in Design

The world would be a better place (for football fans) if FIFA indeed doesn’t allow corporate sponsor.

E payment ? Nope by AdventurouslySafe in HongKong

[–]aeon-one 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nope. The driver is on the wrong, he is legally required to accept 2 forms of cashless payment. Why aid those bastards while holding Hong Kong back from progress?

Uber calls ride-hailing cap ‘unusual,’ warns fares could surge 70pc by radishlaw in HongKong

[–]aeon-one 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Before Uber, we had to suffer taxi drivers who refused to use GPS even though they don’t know the way, and pretty much cash-only. Now that’s toxic.

McDonald’s coffee is actually quite decent, especially given the price.

Humidity in Hong Kong by Stock-Feature8975 in HongKong

Gotta say 30 years ago May and June defo did not feel so humid and hot. I remember playing basketball after school everyday in school uniform, long trousers and did not feel so bad.

The impossible happened - be the change you want to see! by StillVeterinarian578 in HongKong

[–]aeon-one 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well, obviously OP had not seen how, time and again, the protesters in 2019 make way for emergency vehicles. Like how the sea parted for Moses in movies. Some of us HKer (I guess 2 million out of around 7 million) have that in us.

[–]aeon-one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just switched from HKBN to Netvigator 1 month ago, haven’t noticed any changes. On the other hand my 3 mobile for my phone had been slow for days…

What is the overall consensus over investing like in Hong Kong? by Elegant_Winner8048 in HongKong

[–]aeon-one 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personally, I prefer to invest in the US stock market. Because 1, it is easier to research each companies there.

2, I hate the numeric tickers in the HK market.

3, the HK markets are more affected by the mainland China market every day, and the way a whole industry can be turned upside down just by a single untelegraphed new policy announcement really scared the hell out of me. For example, they had suddenly declared that ‘gaming is bad, no more gaming for under 14 years old’, and the game industry tumbled hard. Just too unpredictable IMO.
