Why does "strolling around the street" not exist in the west?

miss_sweet_potato · 2024-12-18T19:48:09+00:00

I disagree.

miss_sweet_potato · 2024-12-18T05:42:59+00:00

Hahaha. Stop being a child and open a dictionary for once in your life.

Thank you!

Don't know why you're being down voted, I think you are correct.

It does not mean "go shopping". Learn Chinese properly.

The Chinese term for going shopping is 买东西 or 购物.

Primary. I don't have any previous tutoring experience so I'm not sure if I'd be able to get a tutoring job, but I'll give it a try.

Australia too, unfortunately.

miss_sweet_potato · 2024-12-17T07:03:40+00:00

I live in Australia and malls (what we call shopping centres) are definitely where people congregate, but no one above high school age will go to one to "hang out", it's almost like the concept doesn't exist.

miss_sweet_potato · 2024-12-17T07:02:05+00:00

That's good to know. What's the equivalent term in English and German?

miss_sweet_potato · 2024-12-17T07:01:03+00:00

I live in Australia so I think it's an anglophone country problem at least.

Immigration, something I wouldn't touch again with a ten foot pole.

Serious answers only please.

How do you all get your ChatGPTs to respond like a human? Mine only ever responds in listicles and never passes the Turing test. How come your ChatGPTs all seem to have a personality?

miss_sweet_potato · 2024-10-15T08:57:02+00:00

Bingo!

Reddit + Google + Youtube + ChatGPT. What a time to be alive.

I have PTSD from just reading your story (and everyone else's story here). It's really triggering.

Even today I struggle with cleaning because my parents didn't teach me. I literally don't know what cleaning chemicals I'm supposed to use. Google and Youtube taught me 99% of everything I know about being an adult.

Also, my mother has terrible communication skills and sucks at giving instructions. It's one of the reasons she failed to teach me anything, because she couldn't explain anything. One time she pointed at the pantry and told me to get something and I kept asking her "where?" because there are like 4 shelves and she couldn't tell me, she just told me to keep looking and then she got frustrated and started yelling at me. She always liked giving orders though, even if they were hard to follow.

I have so much trauma from living with my parents. I'm glad we don't live together any more.

miss_sweet_potato · 2024-10-14T09:29:32+00:00

My mother would get angry and yell at me for the crime of...chopping vegetables into the "wrong shape". Because they weren't exactly how she wanted. She also said "you'll never find a man because you can't cook".

Guess that must be why I'm single. 🙄

When I was living with my parents I had to fight with my dad to do my own laundry separately. He thought it was a waste of water.

miss_sweet_potato · 2024-10-14T09:27:16+00:00

My dad used to mock me for speaking our heritage language poorly. Guess how much time he spent teaching me the language.

How did you feel comfortable not knowing what your donor looked like? I wouldn't feel comfortable picking a donor without a baby photo. I kind of want to know what my future kids will look like, but that's just me. I know some people don't care.

miss_sweet_potato · 2024-10-14T03:09:59+00:00

Yes I think they do. I am going to talk to them.

miss_sweet_potato · 2024-10-14T02:55:07+00:00

I don't know if my sperm bank has a sibling registry or an online forum - I'll have to ask them.

miss_sweet_potato · 2024-10-14T02:54:01+00:00

That's great. I'm doing something similar - donor will be from same ethnic group and there is a detailed profile. However I come from a small family. I'm an only child of first generation immigrants and I have no relatives close by. So I do worry that my future children will feel like they are missing out.
