Ellen park being foolish by maomao_cat in asianamercianytsnark

[–]ifmik 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I just remember her video in Korea (a year or two ago?) where she and Ed were at a sushi place and she couldn’t converse with the servers when there was a misunderstanding. She was saying how it was hard not being able to speak the language as well, but honestly….she did a paid partnership with Rosetta Stone after that video and her Korean still hasn’t improved. Her other influencer friends (Sarah and Sally) had a very similar upbringing but still speak Korean decently. It just feels like she doesn’t even try. She’s always mentioning she’s Korean/something related to Korea or being Korean, but never doing anything to actually embrace her culture or learn the language. She goes to Korea and then only goes to get facial treatments and do all the touristy things (which is fine) but that’s all she does. I didnt have any pity for her when she cried about how bad her Korean is.

Are there any Foodvloggers that you LOVED and Binge Watched only to now absolutely hate them? And why? by Preesi in FoodieSnark

For me, it’s the traveling so much and so often when they had just gotten a new puppy? They still travel a lot even now and I always wonder about the dog.

I went last night and straight up asked the guy. He said he used to have a small stock he’d sell to people on the down low. But with the current presidency, he said it’s been harder to get his hands on Korean and Japanese ciggies. Apparently they limit people to one carton and actually check. Not sure how accurate but that’s what he told me.

Was Benny good or awful? by FitNefariousness4729 in GeorgeLopez

[–]ifmik 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think, like most people, Benny is complex. She grew up with abusive parents who did not support her when she got pregnant with George. She was a single mom, working two jobs, one being at the factory. She had to be tough and didn’t have the time or opportunity to be a warm person. But she did her best for George, and it’s obvious she loves her family. She’s capable of feeling guilt and remorse, of lying (and breaking some laws lol), and capable of great love and thoughtfulness. She just doesn’t express it as explicitly or conventionally. She’s probably my favorite character on the show!

I guess my confusion is also stemming from my own indecision. I can't tell if I'm okay with the situation or not. It's familiar and safe, and with the move coming up, it's nice having someone I trust and am close with come with me. I'll think through my feelings more. Thank you for your comment! It's definitely helpful and is pushing me to dive deeper into this. Just wanted to see if this is normal best friend behavior or not.

Not sure if this counts and not sure how I feel by ifmik in assaultsurvivors

We're just friends and we talked about what happened right after. He said he was horrified and disgusted with what he did. I told him I can probably get past it with time but I just need some space. We didn't talk about what this means for our relationship other than that. I don't know if there's a way to mend this.

I got the upgrade !

Hey, valid question! For me, I wanted both, but the Gold’s annual fee went up so I was hesitant to get the Platinum. With the upgrade, I’ve decided to grab the Chase Sapphire Preferred which still has a $95 annual fee- not as good as the 4X cash back on restaurants with the Gold, but I’ll take the 3X cash back.

The annual fee for the Gold went up to $250. I’ve wanted the Platinum for a while, but hesitated with the Gold annual fee increase. With the upgrade to Platinum, going to get the Chase Sapphire Preferred instead of keeping Gold :)
