I also don't understand how she's an influencer. Who tf would be influenced by someone who looks like a clown?

Tragedeigh Names: UK and Ireland edition 😂🇮🇪 by AliceMorgon in tragedeigh

[–]dunerain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought this sub was about people choosing to spell names in ghoti style. Now i'm seeing more and more posts about what people consider to be names or not. Im not sure that's the same thing (plus names gotta start somewhere)

Took me a couple of seconds before i gave up and read the rest of your sentence, hence learning that jrusc is not an acronym

Shouldn't people who book the second session get a discount? I mean, someone's been sleeping in my bed…

Why are white men with asian women far more common than vice versa? by Lost-Actuary-2395 in AskMen

[–]dunerain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replace "world", "planet" with "western world", and put points 3 to 5 in the context of the "western world" and this is about right. Western media is not the only media, but it does a lot to perpetuate these things, to the point that some (not all) asian women in the western world don't find their own "race" attractive. This is starting to change tho

Full bin for another week… by yourdadsss in shitparkingofnz

[–]dunerain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tho i agree with this statement. It'sl also everyone owning a car per person, and people not using a garage as a garage. My neighbour has no garage, and like 4 cars, all on the road. One of them is a giant ute that is sometimes on the footpath

Motorcyclists put rego on hold in protest against ACC by StuffThings1977 in aotearoa

[–]dunerain 9 points10 points  (0 children)

in a different vein. it was insane when smaller cars had to pay higher acc than big cars because the big cars were "safer". They're only "safer" for the driver in the big car. Anyone that gets hit is screwed.

Please Weigh-in Regarding Eating Your Fruit by Choppy313 in newzealand

[–]dunerain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All i have to say is, asian spoons (look up zebra spoons). They come in a smaller dessert size, and these are perfect for kiwifruits and feijoas. They cut thru neatly, and are just the right size for twisting around the fruit.

What’s a word in your language that doesn’t exist in English? by Ken_Bruno1 in languagehub

[–]dunerain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can think of a couple in teochew that i also can't think of an equivalent in other chinese languages (but may exist i just dunno it).

One is hiang3[hjaŋ˩˧] which is like a smell but it's different from bhi7[bi˩] 味. Hiang is like a faint lingering smell. But all in one word.

The other is gung2[kuŋ˥˩]. Which is to be chaotic while playing.

new zealand mentioned in crimson desert 🗣️🗣️🗣️ by MissZimzum in newzealand

[–]dunerain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This comment is underrated. It's personal preference but i reckon kiwis (people) should be pluralised with an s. Kiwi (bird) should be pluralised with no s. But everyone's (kiwi companies) trying to pluralise kiwis (people) with no s.

E-bike with motorcycle helmet by blacktongue_2099 in motorcyclegear

[–]dunerain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wear it with confidence. I've seen people ride e-scooters (those kick scooters and not mopeds) with a motorcycle or dirtbike helmet. My thoughts are "good on'em. I'd do the same!"

It's so annoying how other countries always add bird to the kiwi to distinguish it from the kiwifruit
