  • I’m SEA-n but relatively speaking I’m on the lower end of the ladder heat resistant-wise.

    I was so excited when I could finally buy Jalapeno in my country cuz I wanna make Poppers. When I bit a raw one my reaction was “my dude, this is a tomato”, my western media fooled me into thinking it’s the hottest thing ever.

    Then I found out about the Scoville unit and realized the Silling Labuyo we raw-dogging daily is order of magnitude hotter lol. Jalapeno actually tastes great though.



  • Yeah, I personally think “Atheist” and “Agnostic” to be a loaded term with the general public, more so in mine where the majority is religious.

    Many of my friends think I abandoned all my moral code the moment they found out, like “No, I’m still the same person just not doing the ritual like I used to” and they won’t even notice if I didn’t tell.

    Many did not believe me when I said I never drink even once (alcohol is forbidden in Islam). It’s so hard to explain that the general messages to aspire to be a decent human being are good guidelines I don’t have any problem with that, it’s the finer details that made me decide to leave.

    Oof, that must be a weird conversation. Am Indonesian.

    Any conversation touching Islam adjacent lost any nuance with the general population more often than not . Not saying your wife is one, but let’s be honest the education quality here is abysmal and at the same time we’re number 1 muslim by population. Also our “Netizen” is notorious for wrongly attacking any issue they misunderstood.

    One of our top singer got berated nationwide because she wore a skirt with a random arabic text in it, people thought it was a Holy script and she’s Christian.

    I kid you not one election season I saw an angry mob with a banner that said USA = COMMUNIST !!

    Most have hard enough time just to get by day to day so I get it, they take anything to blame. With corruption top to bottom it’s a sad state all around. I’m grateful it’s still a relatively peaceful affair though, at least here in Java.
