RIP Marvin.

Meanwhile in Asia…

Keep your forked tongue behind your teeth!

No shaming at all! But I think it’s important to recognize that not all cultures express affection the same way.

One very poignant scene I remember well was when a Disney exec met the famous Japanese director Hiyao Miyazaki for the first time. The American exec rushed forward to hug them and I remember thinking that Miyazaki may have felt pretty uncomfortable with that. As an Asian American that spends a lot of time in both cultures I find that Americans tend to (for lack of a better word) impose their cultural norms on others - either through well meaning ignorance or cultural chauvinism I don’t know.

Edit - replying to Boozilla. Not sure if it worked.

That’s a pretty Westernized view - it’s absolutely NOT a cultural norm to give close friends of either gender hugs in most Asian cultures. This includes societies that are very Westernized like Taiwan. It doesn’t make people any less friendly or emotionally vulnerable- but hugging is something we just don’t do.

Based on this article it sounds like as long as you don’t have open ports for remote administration open and/or if you’ve changed the default admin password you SHOULD be ok? I’m curious to see what recommendations Ubiquiti has regarding this.

Yeah but Customs is at point of entry whereas Security is at point of departure. So Security would not have caught contraband rotten fish.

The label is in Chinese (simplified characters common in China) and translates as “100 rainbow chrysanthemum seeds”. I have no idea whether the contents are what the label claims.

No it doesn’t. China is listed as a country where police generally don’t carry guns and it’s not shown on the map.

Based on replies to this post it’s a legit unpopular opinion lol. I agree with you but for different reasons maybe. “Expressing” one’s self via fashion choices is pretty environmentally damaging as practiced in most modern westernized societies, especially practices like fast fashion. I think there are lots of ways to express oneself without having to a constantly changing wardrobe. Of course reducing wardrobe in and of itself will not save the environment but it’s one step among many.

I definitely feel weird saying this but the owl on the left looks kinda sexy

Isn’t part of the charm of memes the shitty compression artifacts?

Glory to you, and your meooooooow

You spelled Rafael wrong.

Bottom right panel - well how the hell do you expect baby to get gainz???!!!??1!

There was a recent story on NPR that addressed this. I can’t find it now but basically it said that all these studies in isolation have issues but now there appears to be a trend that transcends national boundaries and cultures.

I am not a fan of Taylor Swift’s music but I am absolutely a fan of Taylor Swift the person.
