I grew up in South East Asia, and mangoes here are the best. I tried “western” mangoes and they’re trash. I feel sad for people who can’t experience eating “proper” mangoes. Although I feel it’s the same way for me if we talk about grapes, peaches, berries, etc.

Truth! Unless they come straight from the tree, this is the way to go.

Love kiwis but I get some kind of allergic reaction whenever I eat them.

I guess the takeaway is that, the more accessible a fruit is, the better it tastes. Shipping things really alters the taste and freshness somewhat.

Maybe pear has a chance but I’ve never had a draginfruit that comes close to mangoes.

Rambutan in great. But I don’t think it comes close to mangoes’ level.

Isn’t the fruit to seed ratio bad?

Shock for the Secret Seven. It’s a kid’s book that was given to me by my godfather. It was the book that made me fall in love with reading.

Still using the 3A and it’s still OK. I’m a fan of Pixel phones (used Nexus phones before that), and I usually use them until they stop working, then I buy the latest model. I think I still have a year with this one.

Thank you! Appreciate you working on this app. 😊

It’s too expensive to have a kid in Japan. There aren’t enough childcare to take care of the kids so one parent usually ends up staying home, making household income low.

Japan can’t fix this by having bandage solutions like paying couples to have children, or subsidizing deliveries or schools. Yes, they help, but only in the short term. Prospective parents will think about long term prospects and opportunity cost in having kids. Japan has change the whole system to make it work for couples to have kids.

Am I missing something or is posting from the community not working? Whenever I try, it shows ‘Coming Soon’. But obviously, other people can submit a post (unless they’re not using Sync altogether).

That’s great! I was actually surprised with the amount of responses this got but it’s really opened me to a lot of great content on YouTube. I’ve been coming back to this too and trying a bunch of recommendations. 😊

Will do! Thanks!

Filipino living in Singapore, married to a Japanese:

Philippines - Facebook Messenger (they love Facebook there) Singapore - WhatsApp (everyone uses it here, especially businesses, so it’s hard not to have it installed) Japan - Line (I think it’s because of the stickers and emojis?)

Get fucked Elon

I was able to eat it in one go.

I think the difficulty adds a bit of a natural filter for those that really want to leave Reddit vs those that just want to check things out.

But yes, easy access would make it more mainstream which may be better for long term growth of the platform.

Deleted my 9-year account yesterday and never looked back. Reddit has become so toxic these past few weeks and Lemmy has been such a breath of fresh air.
