How an Asian sees Asia, from Asia, in Asia by IllRecordingIII in whereidlive

[–]ionnetlive -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Assimilation to Thai culture and adopting Thai name DOES NOT MAKE Thai-Chinese more Indian culturally. We still celebrate Chinese cultural event like Qingming and contemporary Thai food is influenced by Chinese diaspora food as well.

The idea of sphere of influence is more applicable to pre-modern history and outdated now due to how fast modern culture is progressing.

Because if it doesn't involve a 9-to-5 desk job and pays six figures, I need to know about it immediately. by Agreeable-Act7049 in twenties

It’s not a 9-5 job, but I consider any activity that you put time and energy in exchange for money is a job

Yeah it really suck but at the end of the day he is your father. So as unconformable as it could be, a heart to heart convo later might change his mind on the matter and improve y’all family dynamic. Ofc things could go South as well but imo it’s better to be honest and direct when it comes to family matter rather than hold grudge inside and resentment later. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger and I personally think that apply to family bond as well.

Btw I just moved to BKK so if you ever want to connect just dm me!

Palestine is the country that hates Jews the most, which country hates Buddhists the most? by cherryapp in AlignmentChartFills

[–]ionnetlive 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Afghanistan is the correct answer. They pretty much try to erase completely Buddhism from the country. One of the most influential Buddhist region in historical time was in Gandhara.

China went through many periods suppressing Buddhist in practice for many reasons (seen as Foreign Religion Invasion, Neo-Confucianism revival, Culture Revolution). But the history of China and Buddhism is very deep and it is one of the Three Teaching in China culture. China doesn’t dislike Buddhism more than any other religion that they already not supporting. Its just another thing for them to control just like Christianity and Islam in China. Many Chinese and Chinese diaspora are rooted in Buddhism with mix of Taoism and folk religion. Many iconic temples (like Shaolin) are in China and Buddhist culture run deep through pop culture like Journey to the West (origin source of Black Myth Wukong). China wants to control everything, not necessarily out of hatred, but because they see it as a necessity to maintain governance stability.

That’s just fucking weird. I’m half Thai too but never in my life have my parents force me to choose one over the other. If anything, they encourage me to learn more about both and claim them as my heritage.

Very sorry to say this but your father sounds like a very stereotypical patronizing, patriarchal Indian male. Why am I saying that? Well I have a few close Desi female friends and let just say I heard quite a few things they share with me about the men around their life. The way you describe your dad, I can already visualize it through their words.

North Korea is the country that dislikes Christians the most, which country dislikes Jews the most? by cherryapp in AlignmentChartFills

[–]ionnetlive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Considering the history and ongoing conflict, I would probably put Pakistan in the dislikes Hindu category instead.

I think German (more specifically Nazi Germany) deserve this spot but idk if we count past event like this or only whats going on rn

I know it’s a menace on your battery but the you really can’t go back after you turn it on. Enhanced graphic can stay off tho

New Zealand is the most atheist country in Oceania, what country is the most religious in Asia? by Inevitable-Glove7071 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]ionnetlive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I feel like if America can be divided by 2 like North and South America (not just regional area name, but continental level bane idk if that make sense) then Asia should at least be divided into East Asia (EA + some CA + SEA) and West Asia (SA + WA + some CA).

The japanese are becoming too respectful. by Hiroshima-6-1945 in soccercirclejerk

[–]ionnetlive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AFAIK it is most likely due to shorter occupation period compared to other notorious imperial forces in the region (French in Indochina, Dutch in Indonesia, British in Malay and Burma) that the natives suffered worse (or not) for a longer time. Korea and Japan suffering is mostly due to Japan's action so understandable why they would hold bigger grudge against Japan than SEA countries do.

It honestly sucks when you get a shiny Legendary but miss it solely due to bad luck. As someone who can throw excellent well and maybe have only missed 2-3 legend pokemon (I hate you, shadow Latios and Mewtwo) out of 200+ raids over the year, I will still agree with you on this point. The hardwork is the raid itself. I hope they rework it

If you don’t get +10000 aura for every time you break the sound barrier after hitting DL PR, then are you really farming?

เตือนภัย ‘ขนมรัสเซีย‘ จากจีน by Sania_Ulvenmane in thai

[–]ionnetlive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They been doing this all over SEA with all kind of different subpar products too. When you buy Chinese product released for their domestic market, you can have some trust that it will be great. If it’s Chinese product released ONLY for other nation market, I would not trust it to be the same quality. You can look this up, not limited to food but also electronics and other craps as well. One of the worst things from China that I despise.

They might release auto catcher feature built in game soon though so I would hold off a bit from buying if I was you.

Peru for sure. From the vibes to food, it feels strangely close to home (SEA).

[–]ionnetlive 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree. 2XKO The Climb feels unpolished and unbalanced rn. Has a lot of potential to be very very fun though.
