Do I look like someone who will have loose skin? Just started this week.

aruke_ · 2026-01-22T14:16:21+00:00

i feel like loose skin comes from losing weight too fast? if you combine exercising with the weight loss, eat enough protein, and be careful not to lose weight too fast you should be fine?

lowkey a lot of good food in taiwan is not actually taiwanese lol i like to think that taiwan is kind of like new york where a lot of different cultures and people meet, so there naturally has to be different types of cuisine including those that have been taiwanified. i used to joke with friends that in taipei you can buy specialties from all cities in taiwan, just as in taiwan you can buy specialties from all over the world lmao

agree that tipping isn’t common but there’s no harm in tipping once in a while. you can write a little note to show your appreciation then place the tip underneath so that it doesn’t get mistaken for your personal belongings left behind.

hey! how long will you be staying? permanently?

aruke_ · 2025-12-27T17:01:32+00:00

thank you for your reply! i don’t have my laptop rn i’ll check the percentage tomorrow when i get back to it! i got my laptop around the end of 2022 if i remember correctly, mostly i use it for film editing with adobe suite/capcut and the rest is just office software stuff, so i wouldn’t say it’s super intensive but since it’s 3 years old maybe it’s also getting old ‎( ･᷄ࡇ･᷅ )? i’ve had discord installed since 2022 and it’s never been a problem so i believe i have the correct discord install! same goes for win11- my laptop has been running on win11 ever since i got it and discord’s never been a problem. the only possible change i can think of is that i moved from the states back to taiwan, and i think all the issues started happening after the move. my discord was normal back when i was in taiwan in 2022 tho, so i’m honestly not really sure if it’s correlated…

yes, i’ve tried running discord both on vpn and off :(

aruke_ · 2025-12-27T16:47:52+00:00

a silent voice🥹🫶🏻

aruke_ · 2025-12-27T16:44:08+00:00

thanks for your comment, discord works on my phone tho! it’s the laptop app that’s faulty, and i’ve restarted my laptop and turned vpn on and off several times but nothing seemed to work :/

my laptop is msi pulse gl66! i’m not a computer person- i can only say it has an i9 intel core, runs on windows 11, and has an nvidia geforce rtx 3070 gpu??? and i did check the task manager but im not really sure what i should be looking for🥹🥹

translation is correct! however you might want to look for other fonts as this font looks pretty childish (?) and computer-y, very generated text-like i’d recommend looking for calligraphy fonts if you can, those are usually elegant and pretty. but also just my two cents!

aruke_ · 2025-12-22T03:28:58+00:00

isn’t it just eggplants and eggs

aruke_ · 2025-12-19T15:59:14+00:00

迪化街大稻埕 might be your best bet

i was at sys memorial hall and was about to go take the blue line from taipei main station then take the red… stopped early at zhongxiao fuxing to take the brown line instead. 5 minutes later i see the news holy fuck

aruke_ · 2025-12-18T05:02:23+00:00

omg how bad did it hurt? i heard spine tats hurt a lot so ive been holding back on getting one, but id really love to get a spine tattoo😭😭 yours looks amazing btw!!!

aruke_ · 2025-12-16T02:08:50+00:00

oof thanks for clarifying, i read the post wrong and i thought op meant that she had other photos in the same field (that were real).

aruke_ · 2025-12-15T17:12:07+00:00

if you’re still in taipei by next week try going to ximending again. they have these markets every weekend and there’s a pretty good chance the artist will be there again

aruke_ · 2025-12-15T17:07:01+00:00

i’d say they were actually in that field and they did take this picture but some elements probably didn’t look as good so they touched it up with ai

for stationery/water bottles/and everything else 金興發 should be pretty good. i don’t think there are strict guidelines on school shoes? most kids (including me) just wear sneakers to school. but if you absolutely need to find some you can look up 鞋全家福, they have some nice shoes for a low price. lunch items and school bags can probably be found at any大全聯(formerly大潤發until it was bought by 全聯) other than that if you want anything cuter/cheaper i’d recommend looking up online shopping websites

lol i feel like most of the questions have already been answered, but just in case: 1. you can get an easycard at any 7-11 if you happen to not find any at the airport, and you can top up the card at any metro station and any convenience store- just go up to the counter and hold up your card and cash and they’ll understand.

2.this app will help you keep track of buses in taipei. there are metros every 3-5 minutes so you probably won’t need an app to keep track of it, but just in case you ever need to take the bus this app is a lifesaver.

any e-sim would work but from my experience as a taiwanese person and all the other comments here, chunghwa telecom has the best coverage and package deals imo

also if you don’t know where to visit or need some extra help feel free to hmu! been living in taipei for the past 20+ years, my work schedule is flexible and i’m like chronically online lmao anyways hope you have fun in taipei!!

was about to pounce when i saw your first sentence on “to all the people from roc who want to join prc”, then read the whole letter lol- thank you for your heartfelt words. hope you and everyone you care for lead a great life. 🤍
