Serious question.  ;D  I don't get what the appeal is with Korean male actors.  They all look gay to me!  Sorry!  They just do.  They have no facial hair, and if you were to put long hair on them, they could potentially be mistaken for girls.  Not my cup of tea.  I like my men manly looking.

A measly 3 bed 2 bath 1250 sqft house in LA sold for $800K in 2008.  Now, it is worth $1.8 million.  That's a $1 million equity/gain/profit.  Why don't CA home owners with million dollar equities cash out and sell, and move to cheaper areas?  Maybe even retire?  Are they staying put for their jobs?  I would just quit my job, retire, and find a beach, if my house had $1 million in equity!

The Single & Dating Scenes / Are you seeing it too?
« on: April 19, 2021, 06:56:03 PM »
I've noticed that a lot of Hmong women are dating non-Hmong men.  I think that's just the way of the future now.  The world is changing.  We don't live in bubbles anymore.  Everyone deserves love and happiness.  And we should date whomever makes us feel the most loved and happy.  But I do wonder... like... how come Hmong men are less attractive to "some" Hmong women now?  And, what makes a non-Hmong man more attractive than a Hmong man to the Hmong woman who chooses a non-Hmong?

Is it because:
1. The Hmong man is less loving?
2. The Hmong man is less caring?
3. The Hmong man feels more entitled?
4. The Hmong man is less responsible?
5. The Hmong woman doesn't want to live the expected role of the "nyab"?
6. Other reasons?

P.S. I wondered how I would feel if my Hmong kids married non-Hmong people.  I used to want them to stick with Hmong.  But I realize now that their happiness is more important.  If a non-Hmong will love them more and make their lives happier, then I'm all for it.

General Discussion / Priorities of the U.S. Government
« on: April 19, 2021, 04:42:14 PM »
What do you think the immediate priorities should be for the U.S. to tackle right now?  I think we keep going round and round in circles with some recurring issues (mass shootings, police violence, etc) because people cannot agree to reach an agreement on how to handle those issues.  I wish the current administration could just say "This how we doing it--no ifs or buts!" but of course that would make the current administration a dictator.  But if you had to choose, how would you prioritize the issues that need to be dealt with in the U.S. today?

General Relationship / How do you know when she/he is "the one"
« on: February 08, 2021, 03:41:33 PM »
Trying to understand the psychology of men and women. 

MEN: How do you know if a woman is "the one" for you long-term?  Or, do most of you just "settle," even though she doesn't have all and everything that you truly want?  What are the "must haves" that qualify her to be "the one" for you?  Be really honest.

WOMEN: How do you know if a man is "the one" for you long-term?  Or, do most of you just "settle," even though he doesn't have all and everything that you truly want?  What are the "must haves" that qualify him to be "the one" for you?  Be really honest.

General Discussion / How rich are plant growers
« on: October 02, 2020, 12:07:52 AM »
Questions because I'm curious.

1. How much do you think plant growers that started growing when it became legal in CA, have in the ground now? 
2. Are those $ traceable? 
3. Why aren't they using that money?  What's the point of that money if they aren't using it?

Ob Tug Txiv Neej
By Lilly

Yog kuv tsis tau koj los kuv tsis khes
Vim muaj koj nyob kuv lub neej
Zoo li lub neej nyob vos fes
Tsuas muaj txaus tuav txojsia
Tabsis qhov kuv ntshaw tiag
Nws tshaj kub thiab nyiaj txiag

Qhov kuv ntshaw yog koj lub siab
Ntshaw koj lub plawv
Xav kom koj tuav kuv tes rawv
Xav kom txhua hnub
Koj ua kuv zoo siab
Li thaum yog tsis muaj kuv lawm
Koj yuav poob siab
Xav tau kev hlub
Kom kuv tsis nco qab ntshaw
Tias cas kuv tsis muaj li lawv
Vim koj twb yog kuv lub hluav taws
Ua kuv lub siab sov
Zoo siab tshaj
Tsis nco qab tshaib mov

Yog li, koj puas kam ua tus neeg
Uas kom yog hnub tsis muaj koj lawm
Yuav npaum li lub neej nyob vos fes
Thaum ntawv ces kuv yuav khes
Tias nrog koj lub neej thiaj kaj
Rau qhov koj yog kuv lub txaj
Muaj koj kuv lub neej thiaj yuav zoo tshaj

General Discussion / The impact of the coronavirus on the world
« on: April 20, 2020, 06:04:24 PM »
Two points:

1. Human morale.  In general, human morale has changed a lot since the coronavirus.  All over the globe, people's lives have changed. We've had to change our social and daily habits.  The number of deaths has really made us think about life and our mortality differently.  We realize how fragile life can be.   

2. The economy. I think we are heading toward a depression.  The coronavirus not only impacted human beings' contact and connection with one another and our way of life, it has also impacted our world economies.  A disruption in the economy, even for a short period of time, has lasting and rippling consequences, I think.  We could rebound back to how things were pre-coronavirus but I think it will take some time to get back there.  How fast we get there... I guess depends on a lot of things.  For example, it depends on how savvy the governments are to make policies that will be good for the economies.  Will they do what's right and fair and smart and stop bailing out corporations and super wealthy entities who don't even need the help, and will they stop crippling the 98% (average Joe's and small businesses) that make up the rest of the population?  The 98% are the ones that actually get the economy going.

Concluding thoughts.
It's naive to think that life will go back to the way it was pre-coronavirus, in another 3-6 months.  I don't think life will be the same for another 2-3 years at least.  Better yet, our lives will never be the same after this, I think.  We all, over the age of 5 years old, will remember this time for the rest of our lives.

Also, just because right now the economy is taking a hit doesn't mean that we as a society become stupid and lift the social distancing ban.  Prematurely removing the social distancing ban is going to start the infection cycle all over again.  The smartest thing the world can do right now is to social distance for another 3 months to a year.  Let the friggin coronavirus die out before we open shops and breathe on each other again. 

So many healthy people have gotten the virus and within 1-2 weeks, they have died.  These people didn't even know a month ago that they were going to die just like that.  The virus does not discriminate.  If you're around an infected person, the chances of you getting the virus is very high.  When you catch it, there is a likelihood that you could die.  Why do you want to take that chance?  This mother effer coronavirus is scary af.  It's nothing to play around with.  So, I think the best course for the world right now is to continue to social distance and let this virus die out.  The virus will keep living if we allow it to jump from host to host.

Back to the economy.  Economies around the world are impacted by covid-19.  We could potentially go into a depression (it looks like it to me).  But with regard to the U.S. economy, we have a lot of rich people with a lot of money.  If these rich people decide on their own to do goodwill and to help out or if the U.S. government would be smart and come up with good and sustainable tax and economic policies, the U.S. economy can rebound back.  Things don't always have to go to shit.  Everyone, particulary the government, just has to be smarter.  We erected people into government positions to be leaders for a reason... to make good decisions to save us, not to make dumbass decisions that will wipe us all out.  Do better in November and vote for the survival of mankind, not for the dumbasses that will kill you and I.  (Sorry.  My thoughts shifted into a rant there.  But really, if we had smarter people in government that made better decisions such as having pandemic/disaster recovery plans in place and having good strategies and brains to react smartly and timely to this pandemic, we wouldn't be in this predicament that we are in in the first place.  OK.  End of rant.)  What I'm trying to say is, all around the world, we can rebound back from this dark time.  We all just need to be smarter and vote for people that make better decisions for all of mankind, whenever we are asked to vote.
