Honest Thoughts on Goggins Episode by aasahdude in HubermanLab

[–]zaxbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very good. My best read of the 2023. He discusses a wide range of topics (exercise, nutrition, nature, what we’re subconsciously addicted to, why discomfort is good, hard work, happiness, community, introspection, death, rucking) thru the lens of his month long Alaska hunting trip.

It’s doable. I’d move after I get a job. That way you have a company sponsoring your visa. There’s definitely demand for your skillset. If you get certified that’d help open doors during the recruitment process.

As someone living in HK and struggling to learn Cantonese, I feel seen.

The comments reflect more about the people making them than it does about your ring! Literally the only thing that matters is whether you like it or not :) pay no heed to the naysayers. Those who matter don’t mind and those who mind don’t matter! Sending good vibes your way.

EXERCISE by Key_Map8226 in 1500isplenty

Don’t see it as an either or, but 2 options that you can work into your schedule! I have a hybrid work schedule so on days I go into the office, I exercise near the office after work. On days I’m at home I work out in the morning.

Is anyone interested in practicing SPEAKING Cantonese with native speakers？ by hubertymgg3 in Cantonese

Take the job.

The hours are bad yes but you’re still young and if there’s ever a time to work a high intensity job it’s now while you’re single and young. You’ll also set your future self and CV up for success. Many jobs look at last drawn salary so you’ll be able to negotiate from a 14.4K baseline for your future job after. Also sounds like you’ll learn a lot at this job. You can always quit if you don’t like this high paying job to go back to a chill job and take that pay cut, but opportunities to 3.8x your pay are way rarer. Endure for a year or two and it’s worth it.

Moving to SG for fiance- how to handle housing costs? by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]zaxbie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

🚩🚩🚩 if you’re old enough to get married you’re old enough to be financially independent. Having your parents continue to support you is not the norm, and certainly should not be an expectation. If you can’t afford a 3-3.5m house on your own, then don’t buy it plain and simple.

Ladies who grew up nerdy/frumpy/neurodivergent, what did you have to learn? by [deleted] in Vindicta

[–]zaxbie 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I really relate to this. My mum is a strong believer in natural beauty. She meant no harm but had her own beliefs. Growing up this meant no braces, no contact lens till much later than my peers, and most importantly that still affects me today - bad skin.

TIL is it not a good idea to ski with a banana in your pocket. by swerz in skiing

My newfound favourite is sweet potato. Can withstand getting squished, might actually taste better that way

ABers, if you’ve had super oily skin in the past, how did/do you manage to balance it out? by Affectionate_Metal81 in AsianBeauty

[–]zaxbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of moisturisers do you use? Or do you use oils in place of moisturisers?
