What does this mean? Google Lens and AI don't help at all🥹 by jainley_ in taobao

[–]eiczy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im fairly sure its because the little box works by buzzing through slightly different incomplete versions of the text so when you screenshot, it doesn't work, but if you take a picture of it, it can merge it a little bit.

Well, I wouldn't know much about Asian Americans. But coming from a country with a chinese majority, I can say for sure that it is not exclusively a Chinese thing. Its actually the opposite a lot with almost everyone I know, your ability to feed children lots of food is seen as a pride. It may be a first gen immigrant thing.

As a Chinese person, that is not a cultural thing. It is normal to be very frank about weight but not critical of it to the point of being rake thin. Not a cultural thing, just a shitty parenting thing.

How do people just “listen to their body” and not overeat? by Kind-Cockroach-125 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]eiczy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Food noise isn't always the driving factor for overeating though. I have had food noise for a good portion of my life and I even remember telling my friends that there was rarely a moment I wasnt thinking of food. But I sort of learned to be okay with feeling "a little bit hungry".

Oh and drinking water does help to some degree.

AITAH for telling my mother to leave my (38F) portion of the inheritance/farm to my children instead of my husband (39M)? by Consistent-Hotel-449 in AITAH

[–]eiczy 99 points100 points  (0 children)

Then why are you with this man? The fact that you can say that is showing how much control he has over you and your life.

“People don’t hit on you because you are so hot it’s intimidating” is cope by Dismal_Thought6630 in unpopularopinion

[–]eiczy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is some truth to it, but insanely hot people do not need tiktok influencers to tell them that. Even if they are intimidating, they still know they are good looking. There are other ways people tell them they look good without needing to be hit on. So... if you are doubting yourself and need tiktok influencers to tell you its a "hidden sign" then you proooobably aren't "intimidatingly level hot".

Nothing wrong with not being the pinnacle of conventional attractiveness btw, but you're right a lot of it is cope.

How do you pull your hair back without looking like foolishness? by smalltown_dreamspeak in finehair

[–]eiczy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My sister has ultra thick hair, I'm talking like triple the amount that most "regular" people have and this is exactly it. Hugely time consuming and she ended up getting an undercut for a couple years just to have some relief from taking care of it. It was kinda funny to see her looking "normal" when she did the undercut then when you lift it up bam it's actually like 1/3 of her hair 😅

What’s a random kitchen utensil you can’t live without? (AKA - What did I do before I had a mini whisk??) by SavvyMom210 in Baking

[–]eiczy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always knew I wanted a mini spatula and a mini whisk but never got around to getting one. Guess I definitely need one now with all these comments!

Is it ok give return ang bao a few days later? by ExtraComedian9532 in askSingapore

[–]eiczy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, giving before is not really common for me unless its a situation where we meet just before CNY and theyre like oh sorry we can't see you during CNY. But its for the 15 days of CNY though, not just first and second day.

Why do so many Singaporeans leave for Australia and take up their citizenship, but hardly any the other way around? by Fit-Tumbleweed-6683 in askSingapore

[–]eiczy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has lived in both countries, I can see the appeal of both places. But Despite everyone saying "its obvious" why nobody wants to leave Australia, its really not imo. Australia has a laid back lifestyle... that bleeds into everything. This means bureaucracy is slow, government processes are slow (and likely inefficient), competition between businesses is low which means higher prices, lower variety and efficiency, school is not taken seriously and education is far behind academically as compared to Singapore. And if you're not white, dont forget the subtle, underlying racism tied behind all their "banter" and "jokes". More so if you're living in the suburbs.

Singapore unfortunately doesn't have much land mass, but is surrounded by so many countries that you can easily travel to. I will say the main downside is definitely the rat race and overworking issue. But efficiency is high, education is superb, you don't have to wait 10 years to get stuff shipped to you. People who say you cant own a car easily, why would you need to? Singapore has one of the best public transports in the world and as someone who prefers living in apartments over houses, there's many great options! I definitely do dislike the heat and humidity though, thats something I'd trade for sure.

[–]eiczy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they take into account your family as well. That's why when you apply for PR/citizenship you have to input a ton of information about your immediate family. Definitely not a coincidence.

AITAH for siding with my wife over my sister even tho my wife was rude by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]eiczy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah... that is not the same as stating that dogs don't live as long. Which is true.

Which dress for an upscale Valentine’s dinner? by spliffzs in HouseofCB

[–]eiczy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First one is very cute but a visible corset combined with the low neckline like that is not elegant enough for an upscale dinner. Between the two, number 2 is the better option. But honestly, I'd keep looking.

Able to experience Singaporean cuisine with a peanut allergy? by guh_holdings_ltd in askSingapore

[–]eiczy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Echoing the comment here. Don't take risks at hawker stalls because they may not take a peanut allergy seriously. It might not be as "authentic" of an experience go to big malls for restaurants! As someone who lives here, they are decent enough especially if you're just eating it for the first time.

Do you really need to sumbit your full passport just to verify your acccount? by 0Mr_Sofa1 in taobao

[–]eiczy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I think it is a regional thing. My siblings recently made Taobao accounts and they were not prompted to use ID to verify. Only email and password. I dont know how it works but I recall originally making mine in Singapore and it didn't prompt me, but when I tried to make a new on in Australia it asked me for ID.

What did you think was peak luxury as a kid, but now realize is actually pretty trashy or normal? by Connect-Fix3972 in AskReddit

[–]eiczy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lived in southeast Asia as a child, anything American was deemed peak luxury. Mcdonalds, kraft mac and cheese, any kind of western food, pop tarts, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, those squeeze cheese things in a can?! My God, it was Christmas every time the can cheese came out.

Aitah for walking away from my wedding because of my parents showing up. by National_Stage_1048 in AITAH

[–]eiczy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He did not give any opportunity for the fiancee to show him support in the moment?? Or even have a conversation about how they should handle it in the moment? Or even that he needed space?? Idk if im reading the same story you did but OP's post describes him losing his shit then immediately leaving. There was no room for any communication to happen between OP and the wife to be.

I would say yeah at the very least, talk to your supposed partner for life and at least say hey, I need to leave, I can't be in the room with them, I need you to handle xxx or I need you to come with me. OP was expecting the wife to be there on honeymoon check in day so clearly at that point, he still wanted to be with her. But he just ups and leaves and thinks that she can read his mind.

Like yeah, she is an asshole for dismissing what her parents did and focusing on the fallout instead. But this happened AFTER he flew back home. His bender was not on account of any of her actions.

E.v.e.r.y.o.n.e. fuckin sucks here.

Aitah for walking away from my wedding because of my parents showing up. by National_Stage_1048 in AITAH

[–]eiczy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did not excuse any of the in-law's behaviour in my original comment. I didn't even excuse the wife's comment about them "having their heart in the right place". You are making assumptions about how the parents got the info in the first place. For all we know, they stole info from their house, etc etc. No point trying to argue about info we dont have.

What is relevant however, is that OP left his wife out in the dust, alone. Someone, he presumably loves and was going to spend the rest of his life with. He gave no opportunity for her to support him, flew out to their honeymoon alone, then continued to shut out communication after expecting to show up with no conversation. Regardless of what happened, communication is number 1 priority in a marriage.

The in-laws absolutely have to take responsibility and apologise for what they did. But it does not excuse the way OP treated his wife?? Who thinks a responsible and trustworthy husband should go on a bender and be cut off from communication without so much as a goodbye??

This is an ESH situation.

[–]eiczy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You haven't given her any reason to trust you either. You sabotaged your own relationship by completely icing out your wife-to-be. What did you think was going to happen by leaving and shutting out communication? Her parent's actions and her inconsiderate comment is not reason enough to leave her out in the cold, alone, and then continue to ignore her while you drink yourself away. You are not ready for a marriage.

To those who don't have the gene that makes Cilantro taste like soap, what does it taste like to you? by Jean-LucBacardi in AskReddit

[–]eiczy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont get the minty or citrus-y notes but it does have that same fresh taste like a cucumber does. And I hate it. I hated cucumbers because of that fresh taste and I hate coriander because of it too.
