@liztai Iโm not even one but being a reddit mod is such a thankless (and unpaid) job

@liztai @trollball Apparently itโs because of Sabah/Sarawak and (at that time) Singapore joining the federation. So East Malaysia + West Malaysia = Pan(Big) Malaysia
However only people in Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong uses ๅคง้ฉฌ. People in Mainland China uses ้ฉฌๆฅ, which can easily be confused with โMalayโ.

@liztai I do think that much of the cultural nuance is lost in the show and while I disagree with many of the authorโs views, the fun of reading the books is to see things from a different & very prevalent perspective. On the other hand, I do think that Liu Cixin gets pretty misogynistic in the third book, and his writing style leaves much to be desired. The first book is very much just a warmup & crazy things are coming next so Iโd love to see how they tackle the next seasons!

@liztai I havenโt watched the Tencent version but have read all three books. I do agree with you that the Netflix version lacks a sense of dread and despair thatโs very prevalent in the books. The love story part was actually from the third book but was needlessly dragged on in the show, and so is the sexy robot (in the book sheโs not sexy but instead a polite Japanese lady in kimono - which is a commentary on Japan reforming its image).

@liztai I believe the birds abandoned the nest on my balcony after another pair of bird tried to steal their nest haha, I actually saw them fight & chase each other around right before they abandoned the nest. So I canโt tell for sure which pair of bird is coming back.

@liztai The sunbirds on my balcony abandoned their nest a month or two ago but earlier today I saw them checking out their old nest again.

On Threads, one argument I keep seeing Taiwanese people make regarding their perceived โoverreactionโ to China is โweโre not the one with all the power to annihilate the other side & keep making threats to actually do soโ.
Feels like this argument could apply to Malaysian racial politics as well. Tired of seeing people using both-side-isms when one side has all the political power and can freely make threats of violence while everyone else has to grovel and try not to โoverreactโ.

@liztai I tried it out before and liked it, killer feature is being able to push websites you trust further up search results and websites you donโt like further down. But Iโve too much subscriptions at the moment already so sticking with Google for now.

See? I told you #Threads is HUGE in Taiwan.
โThe success of Threads in Taiwan shows that politics is still one of the main reasons people come to a text-based social network, but it also highlights Metaโs uncomfortable relationship with political content on its platforms.โ

@liztai I used to fall sick every single Qingming when I was younger so ended up not celebrating it with the rest of my family lol. Guess the dead relatives arenโt too fond of me

@youronlyone Unfortunately thatโs not new. Same case with Twitter even before Musk bought it, people saying decent stuff got reported by fascists and banned by admins who know nothing about social contexts.
