Am I the only one who remembers the Israelis going psycho all over the globe murdering Nazis and creating a shitstir everywhere with the Mossad?

Then there’s the Saudis, the Cubans, the CIA, really, being murderous cunts is not solely reserved for the Russians, if anything it’s just another one of nation state’s favorite pastimes.

ngl i dont remember the mossad one, when was that?

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.

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.

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

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

 

By Eastern Asia I mean East, SouthEast, and South Asia.

I've read that the hong kong golf club course in fanling (hong kong) is nice to play at but not overly challenging.

 

I went to visit some older family friends recently and brought some fruits which included some figs. I was told that figs aren't commonly eaten in HK but I see them quite often. Obviously the more common meats used are chicken, pork, fish, seafood, and to a lesser extent beef. Brocolli (the western kind) isn't commonly found but we have various chois and gai lan.

What other western items do you think are less common in HK?

 

In Hong Kong there are many of us who want to preserve Hong Kong/Cantonese culture from erosion by CCP/mainland culture. For example, sometimes you can see a lot of mandarin around school kids rather than cantonese. The government is also pushing for schools to teach in mandarin rather than cantonese. Mandarin is the language for mainland china, Cantonese is a minority language.

I imagine it is like this in other parts of the world where someone from a 'minority' culture wishes to preserve their culture & language against the dominant culture/language. Is there a word for someone like this in English?

the closest i could think of is "nationalist" but that's definitely not correct, it's not like one saying one culture is superior, but just that you want to protect it and conserve it and keep it in place.

 

If a job posting says "x language speaker required" i think it's fair that the employee be requested to complete work in that language.

However, there are many times when multilingual employees are asked to translate work or complete special tasks that their teammates cannot because they speak their second language.

I often see these requests in client facing roles such as retail, finance, or law.

Should someone who speaks more than 1 language receive compensation because they are being requested to do work that requires their extra skills? What do you think?

When it comes to HK, most people think of dim sum, dong lai cha (HK style milk tea), daan tat (HK style egg tart), gai daan jai (egg bubble waffle), maybe going to a cha chaan teng.

For me, it's put chai gou (pudding cake on a stick).

 

Follows the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy and his pirate crew in order to find the greatest treasure ever left by the legendary Pirate, Gold Roger. The famous mystery treasure named "One Piece".

First broadcast in 1999. 24 minutes each. Rated 8.9/19 on IMBD.

 

The first* series ran from 1978–1990 (IMBD 8.4/10). There is an 8 episode remake in 2020 on Masterpiece (IMBD 8.4/10). It was televised in most of Europe and there was an increase in applications to vet schools because of it.

The trailer for the 2020 version with eng subs is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZzFjeQFpro

The original series can be watched on Youtube with auto-generated eng subs here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSOFQwqa22E&list=PLFoVinyuctAoS2zKnm8aPGMQlhgnGKogR&index=1

The original show can be watched in German here (Der Doktor und das liebe Vieh):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EP6Ck_0Gn1o&list=PLp0NTLuZVbiQ-W0eXWFq11lC0WlguPnqd

*The original (1978 to 1980, based directly on James Herriot's books) was for three series; the second (1988 to 1990, filmed with original scripts but generally regarded as a continuation of the 1978 series) for four.

This show is a nice break from all the action & intense shows that seem to be more common now. Would really recommend checking it out!

 

The plot was partially motivated by the Chilean student protests in 2011.
