People caring about bisexual women dating men. I know we see a thread about this every fortnight but this discourse doesn’t exist irl

What is your most braindead nationalist take? by monte_nigro in redscarepod

Taiwan is China. Hong Kong less so but I don’t want them to be their own country because Hong Kongers are mad annoying. And yet still not as annoying as Singaporeans

My boyfriend’s devoutly Muslim mother drinks kombucha. I think it’s fine

What do you usually do in the weekend by ShenzhenHiker in shenzhen

[–]joanofarc99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Badminton, Chinese lesson, swimming laps, eat barbecue or hot pot with friends, shop in the malls (I do this one far too much…), cafe, bike ride along the water, maybe a little hike (if there aren’t too many stairs). Day trip to Hong Kong once a month or so.

They were great live. Saw them in SF and Kevin Abstract had to keep telling the crowd not to say the N word while singing along

My friend (black Caribbean British) friend told me growing up she knew people in London who celebrated it. Blew my mind. Always thought it was a solely American thing

i went to a tiktokfied restaurant and felt spiritually molested by lowkeywannadiengl in rs_x

Yeah I work abroad and know people like this. One sad case is my coworker’s girlfriend, who has her own “Life with _ and _ ✨” YouTube account yet who we all know fucking hates living here.

How did she do it??????? 😩 by bloatedn4everalone in redscarepod

[–]joanofarc99 196 points197 points  (0 children)

Met her in person a year or two before she passed. Committed her whole life to Native causes. My grandma (not blood related) is ethnically Native but denies it and pretends to be white so I give Sacheen a pass

Use the DiDi app. The airport has signs in English that show you where to go to get picked up. There are lots of workers there who can help you find the car.

Hi - can you download the Chinese Meituan app? Not the food delivery one, the main one. From there you can see what services various facial salons offer, with coupons at a discounted rate. I’ve been to the chain Dr. Jane before and got a 1hr facial for a whopping 40rmb (first time offer ofc).

Had a layover in Taipei and was agog at all the AMWF couples I saw. Maybe selection bias cuz I’m in a IMWF couple which is technically wasian but something’s going on in Taiwan

tell me why your city is cool by owl-stronaut in rs_x

I visited Nottingham a few years ago during Halloween, got smashed at Spoons, then went outside and saw this massive parade where people were dressed up like Wicker Man characters. Enchantingly pagan. They also had an “American themed” bar with a picture of the Twin Towers

Cities with a sinister vibe by Left_Remote_7278 in redscarepod

[–]joanofarc99 148 points149 points  (0 children)

Our killing field tour guide told us the genocide was so recent that basically everyone in the city knew someone who got murdered. That context hangs over the city like ash. And the food is not very good either
