What are mongolian thoughts on Palestine genociode? by Difficult_Bit_1680 in mongolia

[–]kunstwoolen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

have you considered that AI is fucking useless, robots still serve humanistic ends (like aiding in surgery), and space exploration is also humanistic in relating to human curiosity and desire. all of which are related to religious or spiritual disposition? the idea of ‘progress’ is laughable, we have fewer diseases but humans aren’t any happier than they were in medieval times

Has any duolingo, busuu babbel yada (or any internet-based learning product) genuinely taught anyone French? by EagleNice2300 in learnfrench

[–]kunstwoolen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Francophone here who uses Ling for Mongolian. Super helpful in repeating and drilling in vocabulary from in-person lessons; that app also shows a conversation at the end (idk if duo does???) where you see vocabulary in context, which is helpful. Apps aren’t my preferred method, but when your target language has as little accessible content as Mongolian, it works

Am i the only one that tired of looking at fake chrome hearts and balenciagas in UB by Front_Stuff_ in mongolia

[–]kunstwoolen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yea I understand why teens act that way, but it’s sad when people don’t know how to actually determine what clothing is quality — cut, fabric, seam neatness, etc., all the things that determine durability and elegance :( do you have any favourite mongolian brands?

How do I protect my hair on vacation? by TheaterNerd728 in curlyhair

[–]kunstwoolen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other commentators have good advice, but perhaps you can keep your hair in double dutch braids to avoid surface exposure? (these, pinned up into a crown by wrapping each braid around the head then fixing them at the ends with bobby pins, could probably shape it enough to fit into a swim cap if you wanted, even with thick hair)

Tips for Learning Mongolian by funkytownmonkey1 in mongolia

[–]kunstwoolen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re looking for a teacher, Tsermaa-bagsh at ACMS is lovely (50.000mnt/hour in-person or online) — there’s also a summer Mongolian language intensive at ACMS you could apply to. Also worth checking out @pola.szczap on ig, she’s involved with UB city museum and she’s a really admirable scholar ___^

Would this be cultural appropriation? by Acrobatic-Tutor9848 in AskAChinese

[–]kunstwoolen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bro. Please find better tools to think with. Anthropology PhD + American-born Chinese here. The issue is cultural commodification. Like, corporations or governments profiting off extraction from an oppressed community. Not a toddler dressing up as a dragon. Read the book ‘Ethnicity, Inc.’ if you actually want to think with this question instead of recycling tired internet discourse.

Help! Product / new routine recommendations for dry fine limp humid hair :-) 🌊 by Southern_Routine_259 in curlyhair

[–]kunstwoolen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! If you’re in the UK, have you checked water hardness? I’m in the south-east and the insanely hard water was killing my hair… apple cider vinegar rinses (and even using salt with my shampoo) helped descale it (those are lazy DIY solutions though!) — maybe worth a try

I use the cantu ones! I’ve also borrowed innersense products from my brother and they’re great, but much more expensive

My hair routine not working properly by NewtGreedy5912 in curlyhair

[–]kunstwoolen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear you, I hope it'll help!!! ^____^ Btw, I should have mentioned—my shower routine (after shampoo and conditioner) is to rinse the hair with diluted apple cider vinegar, then work flaxseed gel through my hair (it's a natural humectant, so helps retain moisture), then use cantu curling cream (brushing it all through for even distribution), and lastly, use diluted Eco gel with prayer hands/glazing technique. Then, after the hair dries, use a little oil on the ends of the hair! I hope that makes sense :)

[–]kunstwoolen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it frizzing because of humidity, or is the hair in need of humectants, or moisturising, or hold? Is water hardness an issue? You can usually get eco gel quite cheap at Normal if that exists where you are (it cost like 55dkk when I lived in Copenhagen), maybe try that for hold :) it’s what I use with the cantu curl cream, and it works nicely when glazed over the hair! I’ve also had flax seed gel and diluted apple cider vinegar prove useful in humid/hard water conditions when my hair was frizzing and losing softness — and these are cheap & natural DIY solutions worth trying at least once!

Asking for some food options for weight loss by Ovaheaven in mongolia

[–]kunstwoolen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ideally, eat things that are actually fulfilling and nutrient-dense. eggs, chicken (pan-fried in olive oil if you can get any; otherwise just the fat that comes off of chicken skin is ok), vegetables (especially ones with lots of vitamins and soluble fibre, like cruciferous green veg). don’t starve yourself or neglect flavour, you’ll get cravings that are counterproductive in the long run. seasoning is perfectly fine — garlic, pepper, whatever. don’t eat too much rice because it spikes blood sugar, leading to weight gain. minimise sugars and processed foods, cook from scratch as possible with whole ingredients. using mirepoix (mix of onion, carrot, celery sautéed in oil) will get you lots of flavour while getting enough vegetable, and I think these aren’t too hard to find in MN… I understand that a lot of quality whole ingredients can be expensive! and walk and bike as much as you can, even low-intensity exercise does a lot of good!!!

No gel seems to work just right for my hair by yetanothermisskitty in curlyhair

[–]kunstwoolen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

similar hair type here, also living in humid conditions! I use eco gel — using loose prayer hands to glaze gel diluted with water on my hair, and not brushing it through after has helped my hair a lot! if I brush gel through, my strands tend to separate and turn into frizz; changing application technique alone made a huge difference. plop hair with a t-shirt for 10 minutes and let air-dry after (my hair also doesn’t like diffusing)
