🇪🇺 Europe | Ukraine vs. Taiwan

[DrewC]

Both existentially threatened by a neighboring, bullying superpower run by an authoritarian piece of shit who is trying to distract from problems back home.

Taiwnese aren’t collectivists. More like “familisim.”

I am following a Ukrainian actress on Instagram.

Life in Kyiv looks pretty normal telling from her posts. I feel normal Ukrainians and Russians are lovely people.

The people in charge, however…

That generally applies everywhere. The people who have the personality to be in charge should never be in charge.

I think what motivates most leaders to climb up that ladder is greed, not altruism. People who really want to serve the people without personal agenda never make it to the top without making compromises, and the further up they want to go the more compromises they have to make and the more they will deviate from their original honorable principles.

Sad.

I think the main motivation is ego. Greed is a side-action.

In places like the Baltic’s like Lithuania, I see girls I think could be actual models all day. I don’t feel this way in Taiwan and I feel it’s relatively true seeing every decent looking girl is a “model” these days in Taiwan. Although not just a Taiwanese phenomenon, it’s particularly ridiculous in Taiwan imo.

After going to Lithuania I think it’s true what you say but better like blonds, not many black haired people,

“Looking like a model” would be a deal breaker for me, at least when talking about the model industry standard. Too tall, too skinny.

I cancelled my trip to Lithuania, but from what I read, Lithuanian girls are flat-butted like Asian girls. Is that true?

Now Slovakia, that place doesn’t just have models; it’s a supermodel factory. Tall and long-legged women everywhere.

@OysterOmelet

are flat-butted

Yeah. From my experience.

What is wrong with tall? Just curious

[GuaradianAngel]

I think hourglass figure is popular these days “cuz they got more ass then them models” - Kanye. Just preference for guys. I, too, like them THICC in the right places.

@DrewC

I guess it depends what you’re into as well. I find East Asian women more attractive than 6 foot European blondes.

Interesting note, my Taiwanese coworker, she bit taller than most at 175cm+ (not six feet tall though) when telling friends back in Taiwan said most people are about the same height than her but skinnier for younger people. We ask a girl in cafe here in the Baltics why is that she said they tend eat less fast food (Estonia & Lithuania)

I think life in Ukrainian cities and in Kyiv isnt so stable with the electricity grid being attacked. I have less qs about refugees from there now.

It’s been a year and still at war and still see Ukraine people leaving, thought some have gone back. With the Earthquake will see more refugees from the south of Turkish boarder.
