@LhbT8y @itsmewaldi @Theholisticpsyc Guess you’ve not been to Singapore and Hong Kong. Wasting another person’s time is frowned upon.

Want to have better relationships? Stop over-explaining. How to be clear and kind:

@itsmewaldi @Theholisticpsyc It works better for some cultures. Having grown up in Asia the shorter responses are more valued because they are more efficient. If the asker wants more context they will ask you and you can decide if you want to supply more context.

I think this clear and kind style of communication is toeing a fine line: On one hand, you should be direct, clear, and brief. On the other, you could come off as rude, inconsiderate, or cold. What works for me is being clear and direct, but also grounding what I say in one clear easy-to-understand reason. Toes the line well and can be extended or shortened as needed.

@oscarcsims Not sure if it’s representative across cultures. Many places at Auckland’s Dominion Road are often packed till late.

Auckland's early-dining culture is such a shame given the diversity and very high average standard of our restaurants theguardian.com/world/article/…

@GuardianAus Pretty sure this is just white culture. Go to Auckland’s Dominion Rd and it’s packed till the wee hours

This.

Women in Afghanistan are being obliterated—no voice, no face, no existence. The Taliban’s latest decrees are nothing short of barbaric: women banned from singing, reciting poetry, or even speaking aloud in public. Their faces and bodies must hidden from the world. This isn’t just an Afghanistan tragedy; it is a stain on the global conscience, brought about by our failure to act.
