Is he like secretly brilliant? Like maybe win a Nobel Prize brilliant...... Just trying to think of reasons to be with him or whatever, you know, understand the logic here.
Are you sure she just doesn't think she can do better or something like that?Honestly? Sometimes people make weird decisions in Chicago as winter approaches so they can hibernate with someone until it gets warmer. Maybe there is an attraction. He's a chemist, works for pharma.

The whole point about riding a bike is that you never forget.I'm looking at this more like, you get on a bike after a while, and think you can ride just as well as you did before? You need to get that first crash out of the way.
Worse than weaboo-san?I mean, her last bike really sucked...so, I'm just happy she is decided to try.

lol of the day: someone used "chink of china" (as in the sound of a cup on saucer) completely innocently in an article we published until a sub looked at it and said "we can probably just use 'clink' and save ourselves the hassle"
Ahahaha what. This is next level stuff.During dinner he stated that a samurai could draw his sword and cover a distance of 21 feet to kill an opponent armed with a pistol, before the shooter could react.
Friend just got back from her annual family trip to Indonesia which also included a stay in Bali and a short stop in Thailand.
She said it disgusted her how many just fat old white guys with much younger Thai/Indo girls there were, at this point now, if you're white and alone in a South East Asian country, I assume you're only there to be a gross sex tourist.
I just moved here a few months ago and am here for the year for school. City is great and the Mexican food has been a pleasant surprise but I'm still having a hard time finding Asian places that I like. I noticed there's a ton of Sichuan mala places in Chinatown... What are some good areas for Asian food?
Sorry to derail your rant...I think you're right to let your friend figure it out....dude is a dweeb not a wife beater. You just have to trust that she'll figure it out eventually...
On the flip side, my close friend married into an old money white family. I know Asian families are tough but hearing the shit that he goes through with his mother in law and the fact that his wife kinda has him on lock....

I live near UIC...The area I'm at is apparently called the medical district. I haven't had much time to do any exploring...So whenever I feel like eating Chinese food... I would just grab something from Chinatown. It's either that or I would go to HMart to eat.
Just had breakfast in the Philippines. As it turns out, Filipino corned beef is nothing like American corned beef and is way, way, way better. Now I understand why my wife always ordered corned beef and gets disappointed.
Also, I'm convinced the FDA purposely makes American milk suck.
No I haven't....appreciate the recommendations given already. Wife is flying over to visit next week so we'll have places to try.
It's the A2 protein, right? You can actually get that in America, too, and European (at least in Holland) milk also better than American. My thinking is that it's due to the pasteurization process.Actually its the cows. Milk in American comes from breeds that have this certain type of protein, that milk in Asian breeds of dairy cows do not have. Instead, they have another type of protein. It triggers lactose intolerance, like if you are from Asia and were OK with milk there, coming to America, the dairy milk here will trigger it.
If there's one thing the Philippines does well, it's making their meats taste super good.Just had breakfast in the Philippines. As it turns out, Filipino corned beef is nothing like American corned beef and is way, way, way better. Now I understand why my wife always ordered corned beef and gets disappointed.

In this weather...all I feel like eating is stew and noodle soup...
Pretty sure the A2-only thing is a load of hogwash.Yeah the A2 thing. And yeah, even pasteurization. I remember when Korea started pasteurizing their dairy, it still tasted different because of the protein thing though. So it might be both? Asian milk messes up my insides though.
Pretty sure the A2-only thing is a load of hogwash.
There is a dairy company that started up in A/NZ, conveniently called the A2 Milk Company that specifically sells milk with only the A2 protein. They originally made some dubious claims about regular milk before settling on the digestive benefits angle for their milk. In any case, I've heard their products have taken off and become high demand in China due to their claims.
There isn't enough research to support their claims at all, except for dubious studies that they've funded. Here is some more information about it:
https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2018-06-19/dr-karl-a1-vs-a2-milk/9879800
To me, the whole A2 protein thing is just a company trying to sell their milk at 3x the price. I have heard people say milk in Asia tastes different but I'm not sure it's because of the protein.
There's this one Korean restaurant I went to once that was run by an old couple and sold really good stews (including an army stew or something). I can't remember what it was called :(
* I'm still a poor student, fuck
Yeah

You know what you need to do.I'm looking at this more like, you get on a bike after a while, and think you can ride just as well as you did before? You need to get that first crash out of the way.
I have been asked as a favor to attend his martial arts school. I'm going to go.
Literal quote from this man: No, I don't think Asian women have to be subservient or docile. But those who are immigrants are raised with that, so even though I totally encourage them to be independent and free, you have to admit that, it's nice to have that there.
Me: The fuck are you on about? Are you serious?
Him: (Probably thinking "Baka gaijin.")
LOL. I'm sorry but this just makes me question your friend more than anything. Like I wouldn't tell them to break up with the person but I'd probably lose respect for them.No for real, he adds -chan to the end of her name. I dropped food out of my mouth when I heard it. She is not Japanese.
