Pat12,

What are your proportions? Broad shoulders? hips? The general rule is to balance out your proportions so add volume where things are narrower and keep things straight when things are broader/bigger

Pat12,

what timing…

estranged son*

The police chief issued a statement Saturday confirming his son was the suspect in the shooting. Drake said they were estranged and over many years he has had only minimal contact with his son. The younger Drake is a convicted felon who “resorted to years of criminal activity,” he said.

Vancouver lab owner named in Chinese fentanyl syndicate by U.S. Government, skirted Canadian laws (www.thebureau.news)

The Biden administration’s sweeping attack on global fentanyl trafficking syndicates emanating from Chinese factories has also implicated Canada’s central involvement, singling out a Vancouver drug lab owner, whose realtor wife was stabbed to death in 2022, after the couple evaded a British Columbia civil forfeiture case...

Pat12,

thanks!

cantonese has different writing and speaking words so i will try to find these words first

Is it possible to make a normal elastic-waist skirt into a high waisted skirt with a straight band?

i have a skirt that has an elastic waist, i don’t think it’s high waisted and the waistband sticks out a little bit since it’s elastic. Would it be possible to alter this skirt to a regular waist band (such as the type that would have a zipper) and make it high waisted?

Pat12,

definitely would not attempt this myself, would find a tailor

Pat12,

from what i’ve found, they took advantage of a women who’s had multiple brain injuries and listed her as their birth mother and used her to claim the inuit status

Canadian sisters charged with fraud for claiming Inuit status (ottawa.ctvnews.ca)

Two sisters from Kingston and their adoptive mother have been charged by Iqaluit RCMP with two counts each of fraud over $5,000 following an investigation into allegations they falsely claimed to be Inuit in order to receive a benefit as adopted Inuit children through Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporation (NTI)....

Would this help with identification of the remains found along the texas border? there are quite a few unidentified remains found and they are hypothesized to be from this group

Pat12,

Immigrants make the best citizens. They actively want or need to be there, so they’re more likely to participate in the less glamorous parts of being a citizen. They build resilient communities, expose their new neighbors to different cultures and experiences, open great restaurants, and are less likely to commit crimes than existing citizens.

We are all better off when there’s a large and diverse immigrant population. It enriches everyone, both culturally AND financially.

We need more immigrants, not fewer.

There are two sides. They also can introduce problems to their new countries that largely solely exist in their home countries. For example, the UK has one of the highest rate of acid attacks, but this is fairly recent problem in the UK. There were all the sexual assaults in Europe in recent years. In North America there is caste discrimination in cities like San Francisco and Toronto. There are separatist/sectarian violence in developed countries which would not otherwise have it. An example from hongkong is sometimes triads will go to other countries and operate there.

Pat12,

those risks could be mitigated by making deliberate and thoughtful policy–

the problem is that these sorts of problems are never even considered by govts until it’s too late.

Pat12,

i remember when people made jokes like this as a form of satire, didn’t expect to see this real

How did red arise as a lucky colour in Asia even amongst different cultures/religions?

In Chinese culture, red is a lucky colour; it’s often used for gift giving or weddings. Similarly in Hinduism, red is considered lucky (as far as I’ve read) and brides wear red at their weddings. The only commonality I can see between Indian culture and Chinese culture (in terms of beliefs) is Buddhism, is it because of this...

Pat12,

Do you have a source on that?

I can’t see (in Chinese culture at least) that the cheapest colour would be used for something like a wedding, it would not reflect well on one’s family to use something cheap. The reds i’m referring to are bright reds, like jewel red, not like a dull/muddy red

Pat12,

So, a coincidence?

Pat12,

It does, the article that was linked even says red is a very auscipious colour in Indian culture

Animal 15 began to lose coordination, and staff observed that she would shake uncontrollably when she saw lab workers.

i hate that i can read this

Pat12,

i thought armenia was allied with nato recently?

Pat12,

i wish there were more people on here, i feel like i’m talking to a wall

i’m pretty sure i’m basically the only poster on r/hongkong and i’m not even a mod there (which would be a valid reason for being the only poster)

Pat12,

I’ll copy my comment from the other question:

I’ve worked in Western Europe. I don’t know why but there seems to be a lot of taxes for everything. You have to get govt permission for everything. People seem to rely on the govt to provide things rather than have some agencies fill niches that aren’t filled by the govt (for example I saw signs like don’t help homeless people, the govt is helping them).

I’m from an Asian country, we don’t have much tax, we don’t rely on the govt for anything (we can’t), and we have many NGOs. I think it’s similar in America.

As an Asian, there are a few things I can note about Europeans.

Europeans seem to have lost their sense of traditions, to me as an Asian it doesn’t make sense since keeping our traditions and values is a huge part of our culture and society.

Europeans also accept blame for bad things they did in the past (which is a good thing) but I think they can go overboard to compensate for that (to their detriment). I don’t think accepting blame for things in the past is a thing that’s done in Asia; we rewrite history instead. It would help if we acknowledged what we did and can have better relations with others moving forward.

Europeans identify more with nationality than ethnicity. For example, someone from Czech Republic moving to France is considered French. In North America I think they would be considered Czech-French. In Asia they would be considered to be a Czech expat living in France. Our ethnicity matters a lot.

In North America and Europe for some reason people refer to elders by their first name? We would never in 1000 years think of doing something like that, it’s considered extremely rude. We either use their surname (like Mr.X) or Uncle/Auntie.

he was just randomly into a coma or what happened?

Pat12,

US military doctrine is (and has been since the 50s) that we should be capable of independently being at war with our 2 largest rivals. That’s currently Russia and China, but the way India is advancing their military, they’ll take over for Russia soon.

incoming indian-american leaks just like there were chinese-american leaks recently?

San Jose woman loses limbs after battling bacterial infection from tilapia (www.kron4.com)

There’s a warning about a dangerous bacteria that might have infected a local woman who’s still recovering after nearly two months in the hospital. An online fundraising effort says she contracted the bacterial infection after eating fish and is now a quadruple amputee....

Pat12,

damn, there goes my intention of making ceviche for dinner

Pat12,

song lyrics for music you like? helpful for reading, grammar, and learning some vocabulary

Pat12,

I consider this to be the opium wars but reversed, someone tell me i’m wrong

Pat12, (edited )

i don’t think he (the person I know) is a qanon, i don’t really know what that is but i don’t think we have those kind of people here in asia (our politics are focused on different things)

Pat12,

any chance you could give a time period for this? was this a few months ago? this might have been what they were listening to

Pat12,

thank you!

Pat12,

i meant that the person i know is not qanon, i was responding to “I don’t know but if someone told me they listened to Joe Rogan, I would assume…Worst case is Qanon nut job.”

Pat12,

What people are talking about in this thread are people who follow the movement, and not who Qanon is. Of course your friend isn’t Qanon. That would be absurd.

i didn’t mean i thought they were qnon, i meant they are not part of the qanon movement

Pat12,

i actually can’t tell if you’re serious or joking lol

Pat12,

likewise for me ! the extra fabric really swallows me up, it looks really bad. for my bodytype i think more fitted/defined waist type outfits work better, maybe it’s the same for you?

Pat12,

When I went there it wasn’t insanely hot, but still pretty hot. I was wearing a dress with not too much cleavage and a large cardigan on top that came undone at the chest. A few old men stared and one even stopped to say something to me with a very weird tone while staring at my chest, but I couldn’t understand what he was saying.

wow that’s really frustrating, i’m sorry that happened to you

Pat12,

armor for sleep, the band?
