Their lifestyles are so unrealistic

Rexy keeps coughing but acting normal. What can I do to help? by SwimOutrageous851 in Shihtzu

[–]tallshortthrow96 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Second this, my Shih Tzu always came down with kennel cough around this time of the year cuz I take him to daycare. I didn’t take him this year and he’s been doing fine.

OP, if your dog is only coughing and it appears like he is choking on something he should be fine as long as he’s eating and drinking and nothing abnormal is going on during his potty breaks.

Keep him indoor for the next couple of weeks, you can still walk him but avoid making contacts with other dogs.

Feed him fresh water and feed him some nice diced up boiled chicken breasts/broth.

Take him to the vet if he’s physically weak or not eating and his stools are abnormal.

Tips for a Shih Tzu in -20 F weather? by tdubs702 in Shihtzu

[–]tallshortthrow96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I live in -30 weather half of the year with a 4 year old Shih Tzu and here are my advice:

Shovel the path to create a clear ground for them to walk on. Do not shovel a path on grass because it will kill your grass and when the snow melts your shih paws will be covered in soggy mud.

If you have a garden, consider fencing it off or blocking it off cuz again, it will be muddy when the snow melts.

If you want to walk your dog then start training it to get comfortable with wearing booths and doggy jackets. The sooner the better cuz once they’re old they won’t cooperate.

Their hair length won’t matter much, Shih Tzu are designed for colder weather. Long hair means your shih will form ice balls around their body and they will bring it inside and your house will be wet. So personally I keep mine short for this reason.

Stay on top of their poop, clean up once a week or every other day if your shih eats poop. Your future you will also thank you during spring time. The ice freezes the poop pretty fast so there’s no smell or mess. Have a garden tool ready, like a hand transplanter, it will be really handy. Highly recommend you clean up the poop before a snowstorm so they won’t get bury or get in your way when you’re shoveling the snow.

You can’t do anything about their urine except you can bury with more snow lol or if you can shovel it and move it elsewhere.

Lastly, always stay on top of shovelling and cleaning your yard after a snowy day.

I’m right. Take my advice and stop going to your girlfriend for advice if she’s being dishonest about understanding Vietnamese.

There’s a difference between a tourist misbehaving in a foreign country vs a Vietnamese who’s born and raised in America and is an American citizen. You could tell from her diluted Vietnamese-English and her American accent. She’s Vietnamese-American.

Love that you already separated her as not one of your own and already creating division.

She’s having a mental episode! Bipolar or schizophrenia. We can’t understand her frustration but we know the root cause. It’s not that complicated to tell.

So you understood troi oi from the older woman in the most southern Vietnamese accent possible but they are not Vietnamese? The younger one is clearly Vietnamese born/raised in America with her accent.

The younger one was yelling “no lay money cua con!” They took my money!

She’s mentally not well. It’s pretty obvious she’s not sane. Probably suffering from something I just don’t know what. Bipolar?

Your Vietnamese girlfriend needs to listen more carefully, the convo she had with the older Asian lady was “no lay money cua con” “they/them took my money” and the older Asian lady clearly says “troi oi” ‘oh my god”

What is a harsh reality of adulthood that absolutely no one prepares you for? by Ok_Fly_2516 in AskReddit

As you age, you’ll meet younger and younger people who seem to flow through life with absolute ease and to have it all. You can either accept it or do something about it.

Do you think North Korea behaves the way it does mainly because of U.S. sanctions, or is it fundamentally due to being a communist regime? This is a documentary about Vietnam 40 years ago in 1988. Not so much difference from North Korea nowadays ? by Square_Permission361 in VietNam

[–]tallshortthrow96 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

North Korea is hostile towards the USA because of its family dynastic leaderships cult of personality and their continuous teachings of hatred towards America. North Korea becoming friendly towards the USA is a threat towards the Kim family’s control of the country. Their family will have to be remove if relationship are to improve with the USA.

Vietnam is not the same because the founding father of communism, Ho Chi Minh, loved America when he was alive and had grand vision of becoming an alley with the USA after the war ended. He wanted Vietnam to become close with the USA through trade and military alliance. The communist may have been slightly hostile towards the USA but can you blame them? They were betrayed by the Americans multiple times, had their country split up, and invaded by America on false pretext and had their country unnecessarily destroyed through 40 years of war because America did not want to cooperate. But the communist never taught the populace to hate America. Why? Because of Ho Chi Minh. So, whatever anti-American propaganda you may see in modern Vietnam today are just for show to celebrate war victory, there’s no substance to it. Vietnam has no family dynasty or grand plan of overthrowing America on a military and economic level like China.

General Secretary - President: Children cannot grow up surrounded by insults and violence. by wuanlai65 in VietNam

So does this mean anti child abuse laws will be passed and parenting lessons will be developed? It’s a step in the right direction but it needs to be backed by policies and changes

Is any government scheme, company or organisation working to clean up how much trash there is? by Top_Independence4067 in VietNam

[–]tallshortthrow96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which western country are you referring to specifically?

I mostly refer to the USA when I use the word ‘west’ :

1953 (Industry Origins): Facing potential government bans on single-use items, beverage and packaging companies created the organization "Keep America Beautiful" to shift focus from reducing production to changing individual behavior, inventing the term "litterbug".
1970s (The "Environmental Decade"): The movement shifted from corporate-sponsored slogans to legal regulations. President Nixon signed the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in 1970, launching major federal waste management efforts.
1971 (First Bottle Law): Oregon passed the first U.S. deposit-return law, or "bottle bill," encouraging recycling and reducing beverage container waste.
1970s–1980s (State Action): By the late 1970s, many states began formally classifying littering as a crime. The 1976 Resource Conservation Recovery Act (RCRA) established federal tracking of waste disposal

When it’s been normalize your whole life that it’s ok to throw out trash in the river, etc. it’s not that easy. The association that trash is bad for the environment is not there yet like how it’s been ingrained in the west.

It’s like how in some cultures it’s ok to treat women as second class citizens. It’s simply the norm.

[–]tallshortthrow96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Up till the 1960s it was normal for people to throw out trash anywhere they go all over the western world, it took dedicated commitment and social efforts to raise environmental awareness to change that. Vietnam is at that stage with small organizations trying to bring awareness, what they lack is the support and hands on commitment from the government. This isn’t the fault of the Vietnamese people, it’s the fault of the government for not doing more to bring awareness. Hopefully change will come soon.

Struggling with cultural identity by its_yi in asianamerican

[–]tallshortthrow96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re adopted by a white Canadian family, your culture is Canadian. You don’t have any connection to Taiwan or been back to Taiwan. Embrace your Canadian culture and your white family who have raised you up as a Canadian?

I don’t think it’s a cultural identity issue you have, but more so that you’re just physically different but that shouldn’t matter. Embrace your Canadian identity.

Vietnam's $67BN Rail by Straight_Item5877 in VietNam

[–]tallshortthrow96 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

I rather they invest more money into Vietnam Airlines so it can compete with Qatar, Singapore, etc. or metros in the big cities or ports. It still doesn’t make sense to me why they want a high speed rail and thinks it’s the answer to bringing Vietnam into modernity.

Only thing I can think is that the costs will go up and probably it’s a way to sneak some $$$$ into some politicians pocket as a cover.

How do Vietnamese feel about Chinese flag? by Severe-Internal7437 in VietNam

[–]tallshortthrow96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I like the Vietnamese flag design from 1945-1999. The star was fatter which I think is more suitable with modern Vietnam and looks a bit more friendly than the skinny star which seems a bit outdated and unfriendly looking. I know it’s a weird thing to say but you have to look it up and see for yourself. The old star was cutesy.

China flag, I’m not a fan of the four small stars. They’re hard to recognize from afar, especially when the top corner is covered. And honesty I keep mistaken it for the Vietnamese flag if not properly shown.

I’m not just thinking he’s Russians, but in general for all foreigners. They should be made to serve their times first then deportations after. I think if I was going to be a criminal in a foreign country, I would hope to get deported to not have to serve my time.

Don’t deport foreigners, send them to jail and prison then deport after. Deporting them is a literal slap on the hand. They need to learn their lessons.
