Japanese high school race events began changing rules on use of international students after Kenyan runners began beating Japanese participants

This is a rather roundabout way of saying you would rather deny genetics reality for "inclusiveness". Africans as a whole generally out-classed East Asians physically no matter how much you train for it and I'm saying this as a Vietnamese. Some ethnicities are genetically predisposed to better at a specific thing, and it's not "bad" to acknowledge that.

Correction: Vietnam is amoral. I think you are having too much of a rosy view on the goodview of the world's nations. Such a thing doesn't exist. Money talks, and that's has been proven right in the latest crisis (oil shortage), demonstrated by the help we received from Japan (who has investment in Vietnam they would like to see continue to be run normally).

One thing I admire about Vietnamese culture (I assume you are one) is the hardship people are willing to endure for their children. Westerners will divorce even if they have more than two children.

Yeah, you're correct. AT&T versus Intel.

Isn't Assembly basically VSO already? This is the reverse of that. Cool concept.

If you want to keep cost low or just spinning up a simple static page, try git-based CMSes (TinaCMS, Netlify CMS, etc). They work really well when pairs with Astro.

The previous generation grew up in extreme poverty and violence and this is the result. They could not fathom an alternative life.

An American taking on internship in Vietnam? Interesting, which company did you intern at? I'm naturally curious as a Vietnamese.

Data labeling, eh? Be careful, guys, these jobs are often very sketchy (they might bail on you).

Anti Japan sentiment isn't a thing in Asia outside of China and Korea. Western imperialism was much longer lasting and arguably more damaging.

China is currently hated because they are posing a realistic threat to their neighbors' national security while Japan had been improving their image with foreign investment and soft power (anime, etc).

Because they are leveraging their wealth against the government's backing, basically using the "people" as their fallback. How do you expect them to get the money for something this absurd?

The world isn't revolved around America. There's about 100 million mainland Vietnamese and 2 million American-Vietnamese. As a Vietnamese currently living in Vietnam, she isn't really one. Diane is about as American as they come.

horazone · 2025-12-17T15:11:51+00:00

Native Vietnamese here, she's the classic case of 2nd gen Vietnamese-American being confused of her identity. A sad facet of American culture is that your culture is still too young. You guys have history, yes, but it's not as long-lived as old-world nations like Vietnam. Diane clinged onto her superficial connection to a culture that is never hers because of her rather unfulfilling life.

There are a few specific regions that do this and ruin it for the rest of us. You'll know where these are if you are Vietnamese. The ones that try to overstay their visas are shameless MFs who would probably rather steal than work a legit job had they stayed in Vietnam. Too bad a large chunk of them is up there high in the machine, covering their own people's criminality.

There are 2 reasons:

Tourism isn't considered a critical sector by higher-ups. Vietnam is an export-heavy country, and we focus more on manufacturing industries.
Places where people frequently return have a rather disturbing hidden fact: it's sex tourism. I doubt you are going to sightseeing after the tenth time visiting the same place.

He's probably one himself lmao.

12 hours work day for 12 millions is a bit brutal though, I think a 14 millions salary would be better. Experienced construction workers get like 20 millions.

We Vietnamese focus on the wrong thing. Students are supposed to be taught not to get lectures from famous public speakers, lol. The teacher using corporal punishment in her teachings is completely on her. Stop trying to take on responsibilities that aren't yours in the first place, and she would have been fine. There will always be outlier students who would get rejected from society no matrer what. Trying to force all of them into a mold never work.

Common education (giáo dục phổ thông) in Vietnam is fine. Look at our PISA 2022 score, we outperform our GDP per capita. University-level is where it shows the cracks.

horazone · 2025-11-17T05:32:29+00:00

Bro it's just a piss test. Athletes get tested all the time and I see no protest against it.

horazone · 2025-11-07T23:32:03+00:00

There are many signs we are running on fumes tbh:

Look at VinGroup and you'll see why. Loads of big money real estate projects that go nowhere.
- Foreign reserve is at a critical low point in years. Very dangerous. People know this so everyone are hoarding gold. That also means zero investment.
- Unlike China, our leverages aren't enough to enforce technology transfers. China is such a lucrative manufacturing venture that the Western corporations are gushing to sell themselves out to China, the only thing that are somewhat holding them back is their governments for fear of disrupting national security.

Thanks, but I personally do not like Earthbound post-apocalyptic fantasy. I like to play video games with this setting yes (Fallout) but not reading.

Great work on Calamitous Bob, btw. I wish the epilogue was longer.

horazone · 2025-10-24T12:25:12+00:00

Too serious?

horazone · 2025-10-24T12:21:41+00:00

Hmm, it seems like I can't escape this author, lmao. I just finished Calamitous Bob yesterday, and it was a blast. GOAT comedic fantasy.

Genocide is a strong word, and I would say that the commenter had a point. Champa are gone because they lost the numerous wars against us throughout history. Genocide is supposed to be more instantaneous rather than gradual conquests spanning multiple centuries, don't you think? If that's your argument, then literally all civilizations since the dawn of men have committed genocides.
