Hey guys! Did you get any red envelopes from Chinese neighbors, friends, partners, or colleagues?

Is this the so called red scare?

What’s so scary about getting New Year’s money?

I got a text celebrating Lunar New Year from a friend if that counts :3

Is it blood money? After all the envelope is red.

Don’t be ridiculous, silly goose. The color red symbolizes good luck, happiness, and protection. It’s meant to ward off evil spirits and bring prosperity to the recipient.

Be cautious though, some Chinese people practice what’s called ghost marriage. In certain rituals, red envelopes are offered publicly to symbolically marry off a deceased child, honoring their spirit because they fear the child will die lonely.

So if you see a red envelope on the street, don’t pick it up. The parents might be in hiding, waiting to ambush you, and taking it could be seen as consenting to a ghost marriage, which, in practice, is unconsensual. But, you know… some older Chinese folks can be pushy.

Here they just have specials at Chinese restaurants. Often dishes not usually availabe.

Does anyone outside Eastern Pennsylvania know what a Fastnacht is? It's sort of like a donut - with no hole or filling and not sweet. Originally made to use the lard or such up before Lent, but eaten now by people who don't do Lent - including Atheists and other religions (store ones often use vegetable oil rather than lard.)

Nope, here we do pancake Tuesday, only day of the year I really eat pancakes.

No, the fuckers have been quite silent today, now it all makes sense.

So what you're saying is...... hypothetically if I go around picking red envelopes up off the ground I can build myself a ghost harem for the afterlife?

Red generally mean goodluck in SEA, That's why when a guy gets too lucky on a gacha banner, we'd literally call him "red dog".

Weird flex, but ok.

Not to be confused with a dog’s penis, often jokingly called a “red rocket.”

It's like calling your friend a lucky son of a gun, or the B word replacing the gun.

And if you didn't just get some coins, you should be asking yourself why not...

 

[Twigless Leaf]

No coins, but miles for me.
Hang in there, coin hustlers.

 

[Yoriko]

Good afternoon, everyone. I hope you’re doing well!

 

[Recale]

Good afternoon, everyone. I hope you’re doing well!

Good day to you and everyone else as well.

Uhh, is this bugged because I certainly do not have 5 mil coins. Or is it supposed to show the balance of the person who reacted?

That's just showing my coin wallet.

 

[BertaHe]

Yeah, a little bit strange since I thought the balance in your noti should be your own balance-
But the thought of flexing your coins each time you react to someone is hilarious.

If you tie them up with invisible rope, how will you establish a safe word?

Establish a safe word before starting.

Mimes don't talk. Ever.

Good Morning, chat!

You can walk both roads at the same time, you dont have to chose one.

Multi-tasking is an illusion, you're really alternating between tasks. The better you are at both switching and micro-tasking the better the illusion. My lyric selection wasn't meant to suggest mutually exclusive choice. There is always time to choose the road you're on, and you can choose as often as you like.

What AI do you recommend using? I only know of Stable and Pollo but are there any better ones?

Perchance is an AI engine with multiple interfaces, start at the hub (
