    First post and introduction

    Wow! That's a lot. It looks like my child will only have Indonesia and English. I had hoped for Javanese from the grand parents, a bit of Sundanese from the mother, and Chinese/German from the school, but he's not getting enough of any of them to amount to anything (unless he decides to pursue...

    Lots of wrongdoings get a pass because it's "nggak enak"

    You should take less meetings. Kalau selalu sibuk, nggak enak. 😆

    Wow. That looks to be packed with flavor. If only I had half of the ingredients, I could improvise the rest and then taunt you with my failure... Seriously though, I have some respect for the effort that went into that soup. He made soup so he could make another, specific, soup with it!

    First post and introduction

    Hello. Welcome. If it isn't too personal, can I ask how many languages your son can speak?

    What else is in the fish soup? Thick or thin? I've never had anything like that before, but it sounds tasty.

    Moving to Indonesia as foreign employed “contractor”

    To be fair, you did mention it in the context of how you would arrange a visa, rather than as some separate goal, so the Ass didn't have far to travel between yoU and Me.😇 Really, I don't have a moral issue with it or anything, providing that both parties consent. I'm more of a "sanctity of my...

    Moving to Indonesia as foreign employed “contractor”

    I'm pretty sure that the visas you are describing prohibit you from working here. Also, if you are here for more than 182 days a year, you are supposed to pay taxes here. And, when you try to do that, I think you will run into the problem that you are prohibited from working here. I'm pretty...

    A very interesting docu from D.W. on viruses and lab research.

    Wow, that is a really crappy article. No source materials listed, no mention of the obvious conflicts of interest among the sources (these conflicts actually seemed to be touted as evidence of the veracity of the sources...), and references to things "widely reported in the media" which I have...

    Some pretty pictures

    Depending on the view, you might not want to spend so much time inside. Just add a very short hedge so you can walk around in boxers without the neighbors complaining... maybe some sort of arbor for shade and greenery... I could deal with the tiny house.

    Spaghetti with a tomato sauce and courgettes/zucchini. Fried turmeric chicken on the side.

    NIK (Nomor Induk Kependudukan) - Identity Number

    I see it there in the screen shot, but had no idea that an EPO even went through Catatan Sipil. Bizarre.

    Traveling by plane within a month of recovering from covid

    Cheese cake is worth any price (except the one the bakery charges)! I'm suddenly feeling happy about my coming birthday.

    Traveling by plane within a month of recovering from covid

    I've never been to those shops, but I do sp end a couple mil a month just on food. You might call me a high roller. 🤑

    Domestic violence, need advice/opinion

    Here: Look, man. I'm feeling a bit done with this whole thread. I don't understand my own mind on the whole topic, so chatting about it with people on the internet... I don't think I'm helping anyone, including myself, really. I don't really want to think about this shit, should have stuck to...

    Domestic violence, need advice/opinion

    Actually, I'm on the side of a man who is defending himself from a woman who is beating him... or vice versa. I'm against you dictating that as the appropriate response... Really, I'm against you (or me) dictating any particular response. Your complicated conceit, that a man should have a woman...

    Domestic violence, need advice/opinion

    Some people just aren't willing to fight the ones they love. I'd laugh at the idea of some random stranger raising a hand to me, and for sure one of us would be headed to the hospital (possibly/probably me). I am full of rage, but even now, the only time I feel like I was justified in turning my...

    Afghanistan situation.

    I've been thinking about this since the topic came up, and I'm not sure that assuming popular sovereignty makes sense, in this day and age. How does even 75% of the population stand up to 25%, when that 25% has machine guns? Myanmar comes to mind.

    Domestic violence, need advice/opinion

    There is this idiotic form of optimism that people sometimes have though... As a teenager, I used to cut myself, burn myself, probably your "average" self-harm situation (details are sort of moot). Eventually, my circumstances changed and a couple of key moments happened that improved my...

    Covid Vaccination for foreigners in Indonesia (Main Thread)

    I haven't been able to confirm it anywhere, but someone sent me these a while ago on Whatsapp: DIINFORMASIKAN Kepada yth: Jurnalis Kota Bandung Dalam mendukung pencanangan vaksinasi sebagai ikhtiar menekan penyebaran Covid-19, maka PWI Kota Bandung bekerja sama Bank bjb akan menggelar...

    Domestic violence, need advice/opinion

    Self-defense is an excuse . Defending your child is another one. You could defend a stranger. You could defend your home from someone with a can full of gas and a hand full of matches... I don't think that making someone feel guilty about defending themselves is helpful.
