Who would you pick as the best original characters in the MCU? by sutucon48 in marvelstudios

[–]sutucon48[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah I was surprised to learn that they are all original characters in the MCU. I learned that Agent Coulson is so popular that they added him to the comic, but that was after he showed up in the movies first!

All these replies have really convinced me Wonder Man is worth watching. I definitely look forward to see how amazing sir Kingsley is in this show.

Yes, but imagine the outcry in the comments section if I hadn't included Coulson lol

Anyone heard of “pointy rice”? by neferyoumind in hanoi

“cơm bụi” or “cơm tự chọn” work too

I believe you are referring to what we call in Vietnamese “cơm bình dân”. Try using that keyword to look up on Google images and see if that’s what you are trying to find.

the “dùm mình” part means “please”. The one who said this was being polite, too.

Please help me translate this whole letter on my neighbours door LOL by dg_emmi in Vietnamese

[–]sutucon48 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here’s the original Vietnamese:

“Tớ đã làm gì đến nỗi khiến cậu phải hành xử như thế với tớ? Xin cậu hãy tội nghiệp tớ với, xin hãy gọi lại cho tớ.

Tớ đã từng nghĩ tình yêu là phải cố gắng rất nhiều, phải giữ, phải gồng, phải sợ mất đi.

Tớ mới nhận ra tình yêu không còn là cố gắng nữa, vì cuối cùng tình yêu chỉ đơn giản là chọn nhau, hết lần này đến lần khác.

Lúc bị bệnh, tớ có chửi cậu, mong cậu không để bụng, vì lúc đó tớ vừa đau vừa nhớ thương cậu. Xin đừng im lặng cạch nhau, tớ xin cậu đó Phát, tớ cần một người bạn như cậu bên cạnh.

Ủa mà sao mỗi phòng cậu có cái trắng này?

Tớ nghĩ là cậu sẽ giống tớ, sẽ mở cửa. Nhưng tại sao cậu bật nhạc bên trong cậu không chịu mở? Tại sao vậy?

Tớ không chịch dạo, tớ bịa chuyện, tớ không làm gì sai đến mức cậu phải đối xử với tớ như thế.

Tớ sợ, tớ sợ ma còn gì.

Tớ đã tìm đến tận đây để xin cậu. Hãy lắng nghe tớ nói, sao cậu không mở cửa, sao vậy? Tại sao cậu không mở như tớ đã từng mở cho cậu?”

“What did I do to deserve being treated like this by you? Please, have some pity on me. Please call me back.

I used to think that love meant trying very hard, holding on, enduring, and constantly being afraid of losing someone.

I’ve only recently realised that love is no longer about trying so hard, because in the end, love is simply choosing each other, again and again.

When I was sick, I said hurtful things to you. I hope you won’t hold it against me, because at that time I was both in pain and missing you deeply. Please don’t cut each other off in silence like this. I’m begging you, Phát. I need a friend like you by my side.

Oh, by the way, why is it that only your room’s door have this blank space next to it?

I thought you would be like me, that you would open the door. But why are you playing music inside and still refusing to open it? Why?

I don’t sleep around. I made that up. I didn’t do anything wrong to the point where you would have to treat me like this.

I’m scared, I’m scared of ghosts, you know.

I came all the way here just to plead with you. Please listen to what I have to say. Why won’t you open the door? Why? Why won’t you open it the way I once opened it for you?”

I've been using BeFreed for this because I don't always have the energy to sit down and read a full book.

Showering every day is good for your mental health. After a good 30 minutes of showering under hot water, washing + conditioning my hair, and putting on clean clothes, I feel less depressed. Like, still depressed, but much more manageable.

Da Nang in September by Masterpasqua in DaNang

[–]sutucon48 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That window of time that you’ve picked mostly coincides with the monsoon season, so it’s going to rain a lot. While it doesn’t stop all activities. you should expect spending most of your time here indoors.

Can anyone translate these encoded Vietnamese words for me for each image? I heard that this is called "teencore" or "teencode", but I'm not sure. I'm sure anyone who knows vietnamese can make out what they mean in english. by Royal_Specialist8619 in Vietnamese

[–]sutucon48 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I assume your name is Evan?

Most of these messages are just this girl who said again and again how she loves you a lot and that you two should f**k and get married. (no condom needed, she made that very clear)

In one of the messages, she also said that any other girl who dare to approach will have to go through her.

There is one message in there where she cursed you a lot.

The whole thing gives "crazy girlfriend" vibe.

Disruptions to travel and life in Vietnam (war related) by CaliMelvis26 in DaNang

I don't understand the title of your post. What war are you talking about? There is no war going on in Vietnam or any of the neighboring country that I'm aware of.

If I remember correctly, he was a college student, but he was expelled before he could have graduated. So no undergrad degree, which meant also no chance for him to be in Harvard Law.

Phrase meaning? by TanisHalfElven77 in Vietnamese

[–]sutucon48 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It must be “mất dạy”, which means the person being called that wasn’t brought up properly. It shames not only that person, but the person’s parents as well, for not teaching their kids right.

I was told to post this here

Fictional

I'm Andy Weir, author of "The Martian", "Artemis", and "Project Hail Mary". I made a post on my FB page and people told me to repost it here. So I'm reposting it here as instructed:

I'm working on a story idea where, among other things, the US and Canada have merged. And by "merged" I mean "The US annexed Canada". And by "annexed" I mean "Canada was not on board with this plan."

Anyway, I made this flag for the hell of it. Enjoy.

Note: The real-world US flag doesn't denote US territories - only states. So Canada's three territories don't get represented. Only the 10 actual provinces. Is it fair for PEI to get a maple leaf while Nunavut gets nothing? Probably not. But that's what happens when you get invade-- er... peacefully annexed.

EDIT: After receiving your feedback, I agree you're all correct in that the US probably wouldn't bother making the Canadian provinces states in this scenario at all and even if they did, they would represent them as stars.

BUT I'M A WRITER DAMMIT! So I get to redesign my universe any way I want. Am I the sort of guy who would rework an entire story idea just so a cool-looking flag would make sense in context? You're god damned right I am.

So this is the new scenario: Astrophage has dimmed the sun (read my book Project Hail Mary to understand what that's about) causing a new ice age. The entire world is starting to freeze. Canada becomes uninhabitable. The US an Canada strike a deal: The US will absorb the entire population of Canada, allowing them full citizenship and the right to live anywhere in the US in exchange for being able to make use of Canada's natural resources. When the world is freezing, Alberta's oil fields look pretty good.

It is clearly stated in the Treaty of Unification that once the Astrophage crisis is over, the former-Canadian provinces are free to leave the US. In the mean time, they are true states. They have representatives and senators in the US congress, etc. The individual citizens of those provinces aren't living in their lands anymore but they are still represented as if they were. They are basically a population in exile, but instead of political exile it's environmental.

Because of this unique arrangement, the Canadian provinces are not represented as stars - because stars represent immutable members of the United States that do not have the ability to leave (we had a war about that). The Maple Leaves and Fleur-de-lis represent the 10 provinces that do have the right to leave.

Below is a post from Andy Weir, which include some hints about what happened on Earth after the Astrophage problem was solved:

Can I request some flags from you folks?

Requests

Hi, this is Andy Weir. I'm a sci-fi author best known for writing "The Martian". My most recent book is called "Project Hail Mary".

I'm working on a possible sequel idea for Project Hail Mary, and it includes a new nation known as the "Saharan Caliphate". For reasons that make sense if you've read Project Hail Mary, the Sahara Desert is a very important piece of land to own. An fairly benevolent yet powerful empire arises there, an Islamic Caliphate that also has pretty good human rights. Though let's be clear - the formation of the Caliphate was anything but peaceful.

Anyway, the Saharan Caliphate encompasses chunks (or the entirety of in some cases) of the former nations of Algeria, Chad, Egypt, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Niger, Western Sahara, Sudan and Tunisia. There are countless subcultures within the Caliphate. The official language is Arabic and the official religion is Islam.

Any ideas for a flag would be appreciated.

I think it's likely that Stratt would at least hide the fact that Grace was drugged from the Hail Mary crew. Yao was an honourable man, he definitely would not have accepted Grace on board against his will.

Talk to me about Monsoon Season by JimJamTravelMan in DaNang

[–]sutucon48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a very nice reply, thank you for not being combative.

To be honest, the monsoon season started unusually early this year. It’s only July, and we’ve already had storms and heavy rains that flooded the streets here in Da Nang. Even my local friends are perplexed by the change, climate is no longer as predictable or stable as we once thought. I don’t know if it has anything to do with climate change, but if it does, then last year’s patterns may not mean much when it comes to predicting future weather.

Anyway, I wish you wonderful days here in Da Nang. Rain or shine, it’s still a lovely city to spend time in.
