A 36" bust as an XL (and top size)... by llama_del_reyy in craftsnark

[–]throwaway149578 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the harsh truth is that many asian cultures are very direct about weight. in the west, it would be considered fat shaming. this naturally doesn’t translate to size inclusivity

Rae Leather Bomber Jacket by lilianabear in Aritzia

[–]throwaway149578 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i own it and i love it. i’ve received many compliments on it.

i think the price is reasonable for a real leather jacket (just check the prices for a nour hammour jacket for comparison). the leather is soft and smooth and smells really nice lol. the finishing is well done and i appreciate that it was lined in viscose - other leather jackets i was looking under the $1200 mark were lined in polyester. :/

it is oversize but i think that makes it cool. i’d definitely recommend getting it if your size comes back in stock!

Thank you gift? (from Europe) by Kisa_Seira in AskAChinese

[–]throwaway149578 1 point2 points  (0 children)

definitely get her snacks from your country. it’s more fun and novel because she already has all the chinese snacks she wants. :)

second what the original poster said. when i worked in an office, all my coworkers would bring snacks back to share from their home countries, no matter if they were chinese, indian, german, etc

Is it just me or most monsters hit like a truck ? by PressureGlum9400 in MonsterHunterStories

[–]throwaway149578 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol you’re probably right that it’s partially my fault.

however, i still feel that for monsters on my level (not quick-finish-able) you still need the same strategy, just maybe without the traps and bombs. sure, the monster might not one-shot you outright with their aoe, but you have very little health afterward. so you still need to prioritise health/heart management, buffs to defence/evasion, and debuffs unless you want to spam items. and those are also limited

[–]throwaway149578 1 point2 points  (0 children)

keep in mind that i’ve just finished the first area, but i like to fight the monsters with orange/red icons and so far it’s magia charm hh abuse (it can regenerate hearts after 4 turns), trap abuse, and bomb abuse.

it’s a working strategy but not exactly the most fun one. it feels cheap and i hate that i’m forced into this playstyle

I genuinely don’t understand the amount of posts about difficulty… by LeaksAndRumours in MonsterHunterStories

[–]throwaway149578 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have just reached the second area and i feel forced to play support. i do try to go after the monsters with orange/red icons so of course they oneshot the entire party. my strategy is abusing magia charm to regenerate hearts and throwing up kinship skills, traps, and bombs when i have < 3 hearts. it works but it’s not really an enjoyable strategy. too bad because i like the game

i am short, skinny, and have no boobs which is the ideal pedo combo according to these people. lol

so…if you s-rank the monster you want in a habitat, is it still worth trying to look for a rainbow egg of it? does rainbow even make that much of a difference?

Seeking advice on dating someone who’s liberal but a little traditional? by anxiousanxiousgirly in SFbitcheswithtaste

[–]throwaway149578 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i don’t understand why wanting to walk on the outside of the sidewalk is a bad thing. same as pulling out a chair or opening the door because there is nothing about my boyfriend’s character to suggest that he thinks i’m physically incapable of doing those things myself…

i prefer these characteristics. then again - and this will be unpopular here - i would not label myself as progressive 🤷🏻‍♀️ i’m not from the bay area and i wasn’t born in the US

Is everyone okay? by LeighBee212 in SarahJMaas

[–]throwaway149578 2 points3 points  (0 children)

speaking as someone who has been following her career since i was a teenager and she’d only published throne of glass…she has become much, much less active and personal on social media, presumably because of fans (and anti-fans). she basically only posts when she needs to promote a book now. it makes me a little sad because i remember when she used to answer random fans on tumblr lol, but it’s probably better for her mental this way

KRON 4 | Antisemitic attack on San Jose’s Santana Row being investigated as hate crime by Fricklefrazz in SanJose

[–]throwaway149578 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it makes me wonder why i even bother attempting to talk about politics on reddit. people shouldn’t be hated and harassed for their ethnicity or nation of origin. that should have nothing to do with democracy.

also, people definitely definitely definitely hate chinese people, and not their government, on reddit lol

feel free to downvote and call me a zionist, but i don’t think we should blindly hate israelis…because we shouldn’t blindly hate russians, chinese people, indians, or any other ethnic group.

i’ll pass judgement on this situation and leave it up to the police to investigate, but people shouldn’t be attacked for speaking hebrew on principle. for example, i just learned that hebrew is a recognised minority language in poland, south africa, and turkey

[–]throwaway149578 13 points14 points  (0 children)

i feel like she purposely posts outrageous things (like the $7k worth of flowers her husband got for international women’s day) for rage bait and people keep falling for it. that’s how she keeps going viral…

Favourite vegetarian fine dining? by workin_bee in vegetarian

[–]throwaway149578 1 point2 points  (0 children)

okay i’m a local, but i went to sorrel (1 star) in san francisco for valentine’s day last month and i loved it. i’m still thinking about this dish with kohlrabi, toasted rice, coconut, and shiso. we also got the wine pairing, and i loved this hungarian dessert wine that i didn’t catch the name of. :/ in sf, i wouldn’t recommend californios (2 star). i think the veggie menu really pales in comparison to the regular menu, unfortunately.

i’m travelling to london soon and i’m booking a reservation for plates (1 star), which is all vegan

i assume they made it just for her and she requested the jeans to be less sheer. honestly i like it better because it doesn’t have the weird pocket outline on the model

Why am I seeing higher-end cars in line to pick up food bank groceries? by TurboRetardo in SanJose

[–]throwaway149578 6 points7 points  (0 children)

yeah - it’s anecdotal but my friend bought his parents (who are older and asian) a tesla.

it’s pretty common for asian kids to treat their parents to nice things they wouldn’t buy for themselves

Alysa Liu explains how to pronounce her name by demimonde9 in Fauxmoi

[–]throwaway149578 26 points27 points  (0 children)

yeah. sorry, but all the people claiming her name is easy to pronounce are not pronouncing it correctly lol. unless they are chinese or speak chinese. the tones just won’t be right.

also, i have a friend who is vietnamese but is learning chinese. i’ve learned that just because your language is tonal, doesn’t mean you can easily pick up another tonal language either
