I used my webcam to capture my face as I was typing. AI determined I was vigorously masturbating.

I read one account where blue and white kramas were given to certain evacuees who were later targeted for execution. I think Khmer Rumdo also wore blue ones and were also targeted. That said, I wouldn't attach too much importance to the red and white kramas,

I know today there is no real meaning. I saw an old post about a foreigner complaining about another foreigner wearing a red and white one and everyone agreed there is no meaning to the colors today. I'm just wondering if there was meaning to the colors before,

Mom and pop shops are way better/cheaper. There will be one within 300 meters of you that all the locals go to because they have the best deals. 7 eleven in Cambodia is owned by a Thai company I believe so if you are buying Thai products there it will be more expensive. Find the Cambodian equivalent at local places. You obviously don''t drink because beer and booze is way cheaper in Cambodia than in Thailand at 7 eleven. My Khmer gf went to Thailand with me and she thought everything at 7 eleven was expensive in Thailand. She would just go to local vendors there. you just need to look around.

roughly the same as Bangkok. It rains for about 3 hours in a row starting in the late afternoon. You will sometimes have rain in the morning or at night but it isn't as common as the late afternoon rain. If you have water proof shoes and use Grab to get around it is totally fine.

If you got a tourist sim but you are going to stay a while you should change to a regular sim. Go to a Cellcard or Smart shop with your passport and buy one for $2 and choose a monthly plan for about $5 (more if you are using a ton of data). If your card doesn't work on the app most shops including little mom and pop shops selling out of the front room of their house sell little scratch off (tickets? I am forgetting English) in $1 or $5 values.

There might be banks that have less fees but like bo said, there are always fees on international cards. If your bank is in Thailand you might ask on that sub if anyone knows the best banks to withdraw from in Cambodia.

If you pay with dollars instead of riel it might be about $0.02 more expensive per dollar.

Are you saying 7 eleven is twice as expensive if you pay in riel than dollars? If so, you do not understand the exchange rate. Typical places it is 4000 riel to $1. 7 eleven might be 4100 riel to $1.

Cigarettes. If you want to smoke like the locals Fine are less than $1 a pack or maybe $1 depending on the shop. Buy a carton for less. You can buy duty free cartons of imported cigs at Nagaworld in the basement, well two floors below the ground floor. Just ask where the duty free shops are when you go in.

If you want to live in a Cambodian style home/apartment you can get a 2 bedroom place to yourself for $200 a bit outside the center. Or a western style studio for about $350. GX residence near Toul Sangke is that price and half their apartments have balconies

Edit: oh, if you don't like only having $100 bills just exchange them for riel at a Wing or TruMoney. Largest bill you will get is 50,000 riel which is $12.50 and they give you a very decent exchange rate, like you will only be out $0.50 at most if you exchange $100 but probably more like 25 cents.

Really though, I am pretty sure I saw them some place in Phnom Penh, I just can't remember where.

I am pretty sure IBC and Aeon mall and all of its Japanese shops only have Pentel. I was hoping some place like Smile or Super Duper. they were on Lazada in Thailand. Maybe I can by 1000 from there. hahaha.

I picked up a 4star artifact selector from the shop that ended yesterday. Which are the best to choose from? I have Franklin transcended and Reed at 80 if that makes a difference.

If you can't buy bottled water boil the tap water first. That is what all the locals I have seen do.

I was around 9 staying with my sister and her husband one summer when I beat rampage. First time I saw the sun come up before going to bed.

I know a guy who started at 52 in Chile. He was a high school teacher in the US though. I know guys older than that in Cambodia that retired from completely different backgrounds and just did it to keep busy and not have to rely solely on their retirement checks.

If you don't already have a background in teaching or language I would recommend a MA in Tefl or applied linguistics. If the MA doesn't include a celta or equivalent then pick one of those up too.

Ffs, dont let him off easy... for the furniture and the future of our children he made a gaffe while reading a teleprompter!

He couldn't read a teleprompter right for the furniture or the future of our children.

I got a new passport in Vietnam. I just took the old and new passports to the airport and evisa printed out. Took an extra 20 minutes but wasn't a problem. My first stamp in my new passport is an exit stamp from Vietnam.

Western guy here. Dated a Vietnamese girl here a few years ago. When we started dating she said she had dated both locals and foreigners. She said local guys would call/message her while she was at work and if she didn't reply right away they would call/message more and more demanding she answered. She was realĺy dedicated to her job and just didn't want to be bothered during working hours. I guess, at least in her experience, that Vietnamese guys were way more clingy and foreigners are more open to boundaries. I wouldn't be surprised if Western girls had the same experience and that might be a reason they might be hesitant of dating a local again.

This is either 1. A troll. 2. An idiot. Or 3. An extremely uninformed and paranoid person. I guess it could also be one of those people that build an account to sell to people who want an account with some history to scam people more easily. Whatever it is, it is not worth responding to and now I have not followed my own advice.

Yeah. The "might get turned down" part of my comment was trying to imply the buyer not acting weird or suspicious or shit faced.

Interesting. Thanks!

If you look like a foreigner but look at least 16 you will probably have no problem whatsoever. If you are 12 and trying to buy from a western style shop or bar you might get turned down but you can always buy from the locals and in the rare case you might need to say its for your dad but probably not. But also, if you are 12 just don't drink beer.. drink whisky. It'll put hair on your chest.

These guys I would drink with would send their 10 year old nephew to buy beer for us. Pretty sure it can legally be bought at any age.

Ideally? Idk

Probably? Chopped green onion.

I was on a bus in Amsterdam over 20 years ago. I knew enough Dutch to understand a man say to his son, "say goodbye to papa". The kid said bye to a different man that was getting on the bus while the kid and other man waited just outside the bus. The two men then gave each other a quick kiss. Pretty sure that is the most openly gay parental exchange I have seen in every day life even up until today.

How do researches compile lists of the phonetic pronunciation of hundreds/thousands of words in related languages?

I am specifically thinking of Austronesian linguistics here and people like Robert Blust who have these word lists and their phonetic pronunciation across related languages/dialects and some of the languages have relatively little research (recent?). Would they rely on previous work in the past 20+ years and just trust that the phonetics have not changed recently? Have multiple informants from all of the languages and just ask them to read a list of words and then document them? Or some other technique that is easier and I am just not thinking of?

How quickly can it be converted to a Chinese military base?
