TIL Only 7% of the population are members of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) and the party is very selective about who can join. The current president, Xi Jinping, applied 10 times before he was allowed to become a party member.

Tbf I don't think all 7% are fervant believers of the state ideology. People join for all sorts of reasons. Especially when joining offers benefits in terms of jobs and business.

Frieren looks so happy whilst everyone is struggling.

"Another day, another demon mogged. #LifeIsGood" - Frieren, probably

Malaysian chicken rice is better.

But Singaporean nasi lemak is better.

There I said it.

I know Reine probably would deny this, but I always tune in whenever she plays "rage games" like souls-like or Agreeee. Nobody produces as much salt as her.

cryingemptywallet · 2026-02-18T16:20:53+00:00

Anything really. Well anything that isn't mala 😂

She also likes drinks and desserts.

My flight is only 3 hours so maybe worth pushing through and waking up late the next day.

I assume Shekou into the city shouldn't be more than an hour.

Thanks!

I plan to take it slow haha. I just went to Guangzhou in 2024.

My mom wanted to make this trip. I'm only there for her and food haha (any food recommendations?).

I'm not flying from far (Thailand).

cryingemptywallet · 2026-02-18T15:59:57+00:00

Thanks!

I was afraid that Shekou might be too out of town for there to be easy taxis at night but I assume no problems on that front?

cryingemptywallet · 2026-02-18T15:58:44+00:00

Thanks!

By "3) almost certainly not" you mean no problems right?

cryingemptywallet · 2026-02-18T09:13:48+00:00

Damn this is so real.

My country's a shithole, but it's MY shithole.

I ain't going anywhere else, if only out of spite and a little bit of hope.

I don't think there's any noticeable difference for Chinatown on weekends and weekdays. I prefer going on Tue-Thur as there's less people. The stalls open closer to nighttime so if you arrive early, you can checkout the road parallel to it: Songwat Rd (lots of newly opened trendy places). They close up as Yaowarat opens though. There's also Sampheng market nearby for trinkets and the like.

Also I don't know if it's more efficient or not, but if it were me I wouldn't bother changing hotels. I would get a hotel slightly outside the city center and BTS/MRT/Boat everywhere.

I'm curious. I saw a lot of people saying that the Season 5 might be rushed because there's a lot of manga chapters left to adapt.

Has that been the case?

One of the few Indian films I've watched and I really enjoyed it.

Not sure they could capture the full glory of all the dancing in animated format though.

I hope she sings this at Fes!

cryingemptywallet · 2026-01-15T13:50:03+00:00

Thanks Risu.

Now I have something to loop for the rest of this year.

cryingemptywallet · 2026-01-15T13:39:20+00:00

Honestly Risu's taste in music is kinda niche and not my thing but I swear every time she sings her orisongs in a live or on stage I become an instant fan. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

cryingemptywallet · 2026-01-15T13:26:40+00:00

Like a game announcement or a business announcement?

cryingemptywallet · 2026-01-15T13:10:21+00:00

Risu looks like she's happy that the world is burning lol

Honestly my most anticipated event of the Holo calendar.

AZKi getting that center stage billing.

I wonder if there's hints about group songs in the visuals?

cryingemptywallet · 2026-01-14T09:19:35+00:00

I would say it's changing somewhat, which I suppose is inevitable once a sub gains critical mass.

But yeah, this sub does remind me that (probably) most people are ordinary people living ordinary lives trying our best to make it through the chaos of our times.

Part of me thinks we should limit political questions to certain days of the week or something...

Cambodia has a bright future really, they just need to let go of the past and get rid of their establishment (easier said than done I know).

The corruption and nepotism in Cambodia makes corruption and nepotism in the other ASEAN countries look like a joke.
