Is the name "Hank" good for a man in his 20s?

My surname is Han. I just want to pick an English name similar to it.

"Hans" seems too outdated. But what about Hank? Do people still use this name?

Chinese users are worrying that their free unlicensed films and animes might get taken down as Bilibili expands internationally.

Is there anything in your country that went viral simply because it was so bad?

The movie is not AI slop, it's human slop.

People are lining up just to see how bad the movie could be, which was made by an single mother with a 200 USD budget.

However, many people actually reported having a great time watching it. They felt they would rather watch this than those cringe-worthy, forced movies made by overpaid celebrities coasting on their fame.

What do you think of Japanese still worshiping war criminials today? What's your attitude towards normal soldiers on the wrong side?

Today is August 15th, the day Imperial Japan surrendered. However, even today a large number of Japanese politicians and citizens still visit and pay their respects at the infamous Yasukuni Shrine, where Class-A war criminals are enshrined. Imagine if any European country still honored Nazi figures in the same way.

I have seen people explain that, "ordinary citizens are simply there to commemorate the ordinary soldiers who died in the war and do not think too deeply". However, if you have relatives who died in the war, you can certainly pay tribute to them at home, rather than at a place that has already become highly politicized.

Is it true that many people in South Korea trade stocks on leverage?

I heard the South Korean stock market dropped recently, and a lot of people suffered heavy losses. How bad is it?

Do you find the World Cup final closing ceremony cringe?

Why sing the US national anthem?

Why bring out Tom Cruise?

Why put the World Cup trophy inside a Louis Vuitton case?

Is this the absolute peak of capitalism?

Is it normal to pat friends on the head in your country?

I don't know if it's just a thing between players, but in China this is mostly something elders/parents do to kids to show affection, or something couples in love do to express their tenderness.

If done between adults, it would not only feel werid but may also be taken as an offense.

Are teenagers dickheads in your country?

I’ve heard many stories about tourists being harassed, discriminated against, verbally abused, or even robbed by teenagers in some countries, especially in Australia, the UK, and the Balkans. What’s worse, because they’re minors, there are barely any ways to hold them accountable or fight back.

What's the most natural way to say "people from my country"?

Like when I want to tell a shared opinion among my people to foreigners on behalf of my country, what is the best/natural subject to use? Like

"My countrymen from [country name] all think that..."

or "My fellow citizens from [country name] all like that..."?

And what if I don't want others to know where I am from, should I just say "My people from my country all think that..." ? Sounds a little wordy.

I know you can just say something like "We French love eating baguettes." But if you want to exclude yourself, it's odd to say it this way, right?

How does propaganda work in your country?

Russia Today account has more than one million followers in China. One example is that it often posts videos of Ukraine’s forced conscription practices and confrontations involving civilians, seemingly to promote the narrative that “the Ukrainian government is bad.”

However, since these videos usually lack verifiable details such as the exact location, date, and original source, I tend to remain skeptical.

How do you discuss domestic news or share infomation with your fellow countryfolk? Do you have your own bubble?

I know East Asian countries all have their own sites or apps where they interact with each other using their own languages, and barely talk to foreign netizens due to language barriers.

I wonder do other countries have similar bubble. It doesn't have to be an exclusive website, as long as it's primarily used for interacting and sharing with fellow countryfolk.

Regional differences in eating habits across the US?

I'm from China, where regional cuisines vary drastically. For instance, wheat-based noodles are a staple in the North, while rice dominates the South. People in my region lean toward sweeter flavors, whereas those in humid areas like Sichuan prefer spicy food.

I'm curious if a country as large as the US has similar regional divides, like different flavor preferences for the same homemade dish.

All the vet clinics in my town say they won't spay female cats under 6 months old.

Is this normal? I just want to get my soon-to-be 5 months old girl fixed asap. I live in China by the way.

Edit: She is in heat right now. I am afraid she will go through it again if I wait for another month

We literally call Russia “Big Furry Bro”. Partly because they were the Big Brother of USSR, and partly because their image is often tied to fluffy bears.

(No offense to Ukraine but we call them Second Furry Bro)

We also call them the fighting nation for obvious reasons.
