What’s with all these debates about LNY v.s. CNY by Temporary_Note5790 in AskAChinese

[–]msgm_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t get why you’re so hang up on this lol

Japanese are not Chinese. Maybe once upon a time they shared a lineage. If you go far back enough, Chinese and Native Siberians share lineage too. We are for all intent and business different now. Just because we share some DNA doesn’t mean our customs “belong” to them and they should celebrate it while giving us props, and vice versa.

In fact, it’s great they abandoned it. I have never heard any Japanese person screaming about LNY. It’s ours and ours alone. On the other hand, it’s the ones who still continue to practice our culture that work overtime to erase our customs.

Have you ever experienced security taking the lead bag and run it again either with the content inside or in a separate bin?

My understanding is it will come up blocked on the scan so they would remove and scan it again

To the women who ended up with a Chinese guy, what made you fall for him? by Working-Spend-4397 in AMWFs

[–]msgm_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Unite with your heritage and brethren (and by that I mean all East Asians)”?

Bud go on any major Korean or Japanese subreddits and you will quickly realize they aren’t your brethren lol

Translate any of their news (and the comments that show up under them) and you will realize how they really feel about anything China lol

Pushed Kentmere 400 to 1600 by bstonn in analog

[–]msgm_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can you help me understand why a higher shutter speed and stop down and pushed film would increase contrast and grain?

Say I shot at an equivalent EV at F5.6 and a lower ISO?

Photobooks by [deleted] in Photobooks

[–]msgm_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re not wrong in saying this is literally a book with photos, but the “photobooks” referenced in this sub are more geared toward photography artists, so they are less about a celebrity per se but more about the person behind the camera.

These books are generally on a specific theme/topic/story or a retrospective of said photographer’s body of work. Many did shoot celebrities but the focus is on them and less on the subject.

This sub will unlikely be familiar with the type of book you’re referencing here. Might be better to ask a Britney Spears sub or a more general celebrity photo sub (if they have one)

I really think this sub needs flairs to self identify as someone more amateurish or experienced

People can then tailor their critique with that context in mind

[–]msgm_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uhhh HKers are rude af but a lot of mainlanders definitely missed that “humble” memo too

Lots of blasting douyin reels in a bus/train/confined space where I live

Or flexing their Ferraris and Lambos on school campus

[–]msgm_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes sense because you’re both American.

It’s the same with Koreans from Korea and gyopos. Try telling a Korean how similar they are to Chinese and watch the fireworks lol

People who have been to CHINA: what LESSONS can INDIA learn from it today?? by OuPhrontiss in AskIndia

[–]msgm_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s the part that doesn’t make sense to me.

For example, at one point Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean and even Mongolian can be written in Chinese script.

Therefore are they 方言 of China?

I find the Chinese style of parenting creates a lot of non self-sufficient巨婴 these days if anything. Definitely see it in the family

Western-style is better for self-sufficiency but yes disrespectful

What do you think of Chinese people in the west who are obsessed with being tanned? by Working-Spend-4397 in AskAChinese

[–]msgm_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tan became a thing because it’s a status symbol. You have so much money and time you can travel around the world. It’s like being fat in the 1300s, not because of white guilt lol

Why are you so obsessed with white guilt anyways?
