I code stuff. I draw stuff.

I’m a Hongkonger 🇭🇰
If you’re a westerner coming here because you’re arguing with me about something in HK/China/Asia, I forgive you for your misunderstandings.

It was the old image of Chinese products (edit: also services), but recently their quality has increased significantly. On top of that, the price is much lower than alternatives.

When people saw the price, they stopped caring about that. This has been the case of Hong Kong.

Sweatshop is probably true, but I’m telling you, you just cannot resist the price as a consumer. Tooth filling for 29 HKD (3.7 USD), you just can’t beat that.

Hongkonger are extremely realistic and practical. Price low? Use it

You do you, my friend.

Chinese are humans too. They have a life, have things to pay for, and most of them are not even associated with the government.

This is the cultural differences between the west and Japan. Japanese people really likes big robots but the west just doesn’t buy that concept. Therefore early big robot anime didn’t really made it into the western market. It’s only when they started reducing their sizes (astroboy, I mean, is it even a robot?) that it started to get popular.

I made up the word “retromarketing” in my mind refering to game companies remaking old games for profits by abusing nostalgia.

It was until I wanted to explain to my friend about this, I looked it up and this word actually exists, and means the same thing.

I guess it’s not hard to come up with words.

Reminds me of my home’s first TV recorder. It actually came with a trimming function and we could cut the ads out.

Some people may take this to an extreme and bully all lemmy.world users. Just a reminder that there are non-transphobes here.

Well I will chat about weather and climate with anyone

cuz you can only die once anyway, so you will end up with a chance approaching 100% of getting the money

NorthWestWind,
@NorthWestWind@lemmy.world avatar

Because not everyone is comfortable with swears

The nice chain shows how nice Lemmy is because the 4th one didn’t get downvoted to oblivion

You just have the wrong Asian friend. You ever have pineapple bun? No it doesn’t have pineapple.

Most of the time it comes with nothing inside it. The crust itself is the tastiest thing, but there are variations, like a big slice of butter, or embedded red bean paste.

Of course it’s wetdry.world. I love this instance.

Alright I need someone to explain to me what I’ve said wrong

I live in Hong Kong. Our currency is called Hong Kong Dollar (HKD). And our 2 dollar coins are flower-shaped.

NorthWestWind,
@NorthWestWind@lemmy.world avatar

Read the edit. I feel the opposite

NorthWestWind, (edited )
@NorthWestWind@lemmy.world avatar

No. It’s just there’s another place using “dollars”

Honestly I don’t even know why I’m still here. This is another great example of my poor understanding of English and people.

I just wanted to share our unique 2 dollar coin design…
