there's a phrase in Cantonese

my cousins from two families by sisters grew up together in a three family house and there were incidents where the nonbullying nonnasty kids got the short end of the stick by their aunt and sometimes cousins - and their mom would shush them and not want to hear gossip. The last time I witnessed it was at a funeral…

on the one hand, I don't want to stop people from willingly engaging in something as consenting adults - on the other hand, that sounds like a bad idea and at one time when things were simpler, it wasn't necessary to commoditize this type of interaction so something happened to the Hawaiians. I don't think that…

what about the knife script - I think that all the old kingdoms had their own script and currency and some of them got removed by the forced first unification. But if my mother's side of the family has an archive (original) that predates that forced unification - then they have a different script as well and…

the almost two seasons I have seen tell me how my family - my mother and brother - differ from the Bates.

He's a bad cop? - I didnt really pay attention to the one and half seasons I have played in the background - Norman hates following his mother around - she should have opened a newstanda with coffee and bagels in Downtown LA and let him cheaply had big city experiences.

She's a sinner. My mother isn't - at least not in that way - I had Bates Motel playing in the background and it is about not wanting and not qualifying to be a single mom and that kid is miserable and doesnt want to be her child - no matter how much inappropriate affection she lays on him -he hates being her child. …

I think that even if I had been born into Mosuo culture, I would mind being around the casualness of letting go of your children to ride the wave of a kind of commune caretaking and watch them have to swallow any bias based on personal dislike of their parents that would go unacknowledged as a matter of policy.

yes I think that also happens with the Chinese sometimes - it's to protect the wife and any children from being devalued by a stranger husband.

I have scallions in glasses of water since the price went up to 1.29 a month.

Hawaii wants to legalize prostitution - this is from a place when back in the day Hawaiians were so sensitive that couples didn't hold hands in public out of consideration for those who didn't enjoy that kind of relationship. Sikhs don't eat meat out of consideration for Hindus and other vegetarians but their…

Crowded House made me think (the only time) how nice it must be to be able to play those songs for yourself but later watching Joe Jackson videos, I think this must be why those colleges want to see musical ability - I doubt I could do it. It's incomprehensible to me - sometime I can't hear anything - I'm a very…

I can't believe I didn't even think of this - what about STDs? Many Chinese are naturally ONLY YOU and that means probably that we are not as socially adroit because we never needed to learn how to be. Some people I never told my father was dead and other people never knew my real name or never knew my last…

the thing about serial … romancercising (remember that Taylor Swift video by John Mayer Paper Doll) is that you basically have an element of I can look forward to you dying or dumping me, because THEN I can upgrade - yeah, right.

yes the old nightmare was just yours and now it's both sides suffer plus any children.

I wonder if it came about in an insular community where it was more expedient to officially be more casual to do away with the stress and conflict of some couples being more happily married than others and a difference in how much fathers were inclined towards their bio kids.

if he had deeper pockets for legal fees, he pretty much could do everything you claim could not happen to you - Family Court sounds pretty dangerous.

I don't agree that the Naxi writing is the only other writing - they all had different writing before unification - that was one of the issues of the First emperor and my uncle has the family archive which predates that emperor and predates current Chinese language reportedly - my mother asked to see it again but…

wow what timing - youtube started recommending gavin mcinnes and mwgtow videos with titles like why single moms suck, etc.

Her family's bank is investing in the Dakota pipeline so she's certainly going to protest that, right?
