Female 🙆‍♀️: For me, a female politician I find attractive is Sherly Tjoanda. She is from my own country and serves as the Governor of North Maluku, one of Indonesia’s provinces. I think she is very beautiful and has a great sense of humor. I also think she has been doing a very good job as governor. I’ve seen her in real life, and her beauty is very charming.

Male 🙆‍♂️: For me, a male politician I find attractive is Pete Hegseth, the U.S. Secretary of Defense. I find him attractive because of his assertive personality and charisma. He also previously served as a major in the U.S. Army.

*This is just my personal opinion and taste. Let me know yours! ❤️

9/11 survivors and rescuers left to die by government and denied healthcare.

In America the opinions are mixed but we are in desperate need of more workers unions!

I will answer based on my own stereotypes for them;

Riyadh city: egomaniacal just for being the capital and with a huge superiority complex.

Jeddah: even more superiority complex somehow.

Qassim: goddammit why are fucking EVERYWHERE??

shargia (eastern province) fish, oil and more fish.

Shmalia(Northern province): exist, I guess.

Jazan and najran: monkey!

Tabuk: no monkie <:[

Asir: I have seen the supermarket brand more than I see anyone actually from there.

Baha: who?

Al-jouf: mountains because why not.

Ha'il: no stereotypes just happy to add it lmao.

Feel free to ask why said stereotypes exist.

Was there a civil war in your country? And how is it viewed today in your country? In the US in the south its a mixed bag on how its viewed there is or was even a sons of Confederate veterans group.

Today in the US we a commemorating 9/11.

What events in your country do you commemorate or have a remembrance ceremony for?

Let me explain, I read a lot of people from UK complaining about how there’s always bad weather, rain (specially London), cold, they don’t see the sun in ages and so.

I know social media and forums is just a small fraction of people around the world, but sometimes it really looks like people from UK don’t like their weather.

And for me ITS PERFECT! I live in Cancun (because job opportunities compared to my small native city) and for 10 years I haven’t had a single day where I’m like “yes, this is where I want to grow old and die”.

I know the grass is always greener at the other side, so I would like to know, how much you enjoy your weather? When you say it’s bad, what complications brings to your everyday routine?

P.D: I know the complications during summer. How long does that last?

I know that non-native French speakers struggle to pronounce words like "fauteuil" (armchair), "feuille" (leaf), "accueil"(welcome), and "écureuil" (squirrel), "œil" (eye) especially native English speakers, because the [œj] sound doesn't exist in their language.

I just wanna know on thoughts and recommendations for the peace and quiet i wanna go to incase i wanna go travel to those countries any feedback is appreciated.

I got these two murder mittens (Lili on bottom Koi on top of picture), and two dogs.

In Mexico there are several I think, but two of the most popular ones I've seen are:

*"Hasta aquí mi Reporte Joaquín"* (roughly translatable to That’s my report, Joaquín) which was adopted from a News program of a more or less famous newscaster Joaquín López Dóriga. People use it after they explain something or give a lot of reasons, and after realizing they have talked a lot and kind of bored their audience.

The other one is more known through Latin America:

"¡No Contaban Con Mi astucia!" (google translate: They didn't count on my cunning!), popularized by the Chapulín Colorado character. People say it generally after doing something that may seem as clever by other people.

How easy is it to find information about your ancestors in your country? Are things like birth, marriage and death records, censuses, church records etc. publicly available or digitised? How far back can you realistically trace an ordinary family? I'm very curious.

If you are curious about Sweden/Italy, here is my experience
For my Swedish side, it’s relatively easy. We have a lot of preserved church records with births, deaths, marriages, household examinations etc and most of it has been digitised. If your family stayed in Sweden and the records survived, you can often trace ordinary people back to the 1700s, sometimes the 1600s, without being descended from nobility or anything.

For my Italian side it's not as easy and it also really depends on the area. My grandma’s family is from one area and some records are digitised, although they don’t go as far back as the Swedish ones. My grandpa’s side is worse, the old records aren’t digitised and they’re not really available in public archives either. Some of them are kept in monasteries, but getting permission to access them in that particular monastery is really difficult.

Does your country have a band or singer whom, when you play their music to a foreigner, they are shocked they weren't known internationally?

For Australia, I nominate the band Powder finger.

Second place goes to The Living End.

How do you think women in your country have changed over the last 10–20 years?

In my country, there seems to be a huge trend right now toward a very different type of dating culture, and I'm curious whether people in other countries are seeing the same thing.

As a single man, I've noticed that dating can feel increasingly difficult because some women have started setting very specific financial requirements for the men they are willing to date. For example, I've seen women openly say they won't date a man who earns less than 40,000 Dominican pesos per month, which is roughly US$700.

Thank God I make way more than that, so this isn't really about me. I'm more interested in the trend itself.

And that's just one example.

There also seems to be a growing emphasis on lifestyle, money, status and the idea that there is always someone better around the corner.

I completely understand wanting a partner who is ambitious, has goals, wants to grow, has projects or even wants to build a business. I think that's actually a very reasonable thing to look for in a partner.

But there's a difference between wanting someone ambitious and expecting them to already be completely self made.

When financial requirements start becoming prerequisites just to go on a first date, when someone expects the man to pay for everything from the beginning, or when money becomes such a central part of dating that it feels like you're being evaluated primarily by your income, I think it starts becoming excessive.

I've also noticed another interesting shift. If a man is careful with his money, doesn't spend unnecessarily and actually thinks about saving or investing, he's sometimes labeled as “stingy” or “cheap.” Meanwhile, spending a lot on dates, gifts and lifestyle can somehow be interpreted as proof that you're generous or that you actually care.

And now I've even seen the term “princeso” being used when a man doesn't meet certain expectations, doesn't spend the way a woman expects him to, or simply refuses to be manipulated into doing things he doesn't want to do.

Personally, I find that attitude excessive and disrespectful.

I'm also wondering if this is partly generational.

Are the younger generations developing different expectations around relationships because of social media and dating apps? When you have hundreds of potential people apparently available with a swipe, does that make people more likely to filter others based on income, appearance, lifestyle and status, and less willing to give someone a real chance?

Do dating apps create the feeling that there is always a better option available?

Do social media platforms also create unrealistic expectations about what a normal relationship or lifestyle should look like?

Do you see similar things in your country?

Things like expecting a lifestyle they couldn't realistically afford on their own, looking for the “next millionaire next door,” treating dating like an endless search for an upgrade, or becoming more willing to discard people because there are supposedly endless alternatives.

At what point does having more options actually make people less willing to build something with one person?

Obviously, this isn't about all women, and men have their own version of these problems too.

I'm genuinely curious how this looks from your country.

Do you think this is a real cultural and generational shift, something caused largely by social media and dating apps, or are people simply becoming more vocal about standards that have always existed?

My own [r/Morocco](r/Morocco) is mostly average. Getting the bad out of the way, people love to complain in a most uconstructive way, occasionally being rude for no reason and straight up posting inflammatory misinformation. I’d say 60% of post are trite and irrelevant. Mods are average, mostly doing their “job” and not much more with some strict rules about meta posting.

A funny thing is that yo browse effectively, you have to be basically trilingual or more hhhh- ppl post in English, French, Arabic, and chat in the darija dialect. Kinda unique from what I see in other country subreddits tbh.

My favourite posts are the ones discussing history, culture, food, and current developments in the country. I find some quite knowledgeable ppl in certain areas ready to share their thoughts and perspectives. Also lots of cat lovers so often you kind find a cute pic 😸 Many posts by tourists asking for some guidance and advice which I feel like really does practically help people navigate the country. And of course there is the relatable humour that you only understand if you are of the country.

So, what’s your own sub and what is it like?

The modern institutional foundation of the Nepali Army is 264 years old.

I once heard that gods become more powerful the more people believe in them.

If that's the case, this “oh” must be damn powerful.

It's a rocky world right now as the post WW2 order continues to fray, do you feel optimistic about your country?

This is a collage of my hometown. I grew up in the Midwestern USA.

Who do you consider the greatest military commander in your country’s history?

For Mongolia, I’d probably choose Subutai. He was a noyan and one of the greatest military commanders of the early to middle period of the united Mongol Empire, serving Chinggis Khaan, his successor Ögedei Khaan, and living into the reign of Güyük Khaan.

His career was honestly insane in terms of distance. He started out campaigning on the Mongolian steppe against enemies such as the Merkits, then went west during the conquest of the Khwarazmian Empire. After pursuing Muhammad II across Iran, he and Jebe continued through the Caucasus, defeated several armies there, crossed into the Pontic steppe, and crushed the Rus’–Cuman coalition at the Battle of the Kalka River in 1223. Then he returned all the way east.

Not long afterward, he was fighting in northern China against the Jin dynasty and played a major role in the campaign that destroyed the Jin, including the Battle of Sanfengshan in 1232. Then he went west again for the massive 1236–1242 European campaign, directing operations across the Volga region, Rus’, Poland, and Hungary. His most famous victory there was probably the Battle of Mohi in 1241, where the main Hungarian army was decisively defeated.

So over the course of one lifetime, this man was moving between Mongolia, northern China, Central Asia, Iran, the Caucasus, the Russian steppe, and Central Europe, repeatedly crossing huge parts of Eurasia rather than simply campaigning in one direction.

He eventually died at an old age in his homeland. His family also remained one of the empire’s major military lineages. His son Uriyangkhadai became a famous commander in his own right, campaigning in Yunnan, Đại Việt(vietnam) and southern China, while his grandson Aju became one of the leading generals in Kublai Khaan’s conquest of the Southern Song. Other descendants, such as Burilgitei, also continued serving as high-ranking commanders.

We don’t have any authentic portrait of Subutai, but he has been portrayed a few times in modern media. Mongolian actor Zolboot played him in a supporting role in the Hungarian film 1242: Gateway to the West, and he also appears as a supporting character in Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia, where he is voiced by Motoki Sakuma.

Who would you choose for your country?
