9th House: How do the Elemental groupings take interests of culture
Good day to you all! I wanted to write down how each elemental group takes interest in certain aspects of a culture. No sign, element or modality dictate what specific culture you lean towards nor dictates what certain aspects of culture you are drawn to exclusively. This means that you are more drawn to these aspects of a culture, which includes the influence of planets in the 9th house, aspects, and of course, your personal choice/will. I will constantly be using the word “a culture” and not “foreign culture” since the 9th House rule culture, not just foreign culture. Learning culture isn’t exclusive to traveling, especially now we have the internet to learn cultures though nothing beats being there yourself. That being said, here are the following groups that influence your affinity towards certain aspect of a culture in your 9th house (No planetary and aspects):
Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius 9th House)
Interested in the brighter and optimistic side of a culture
Interested in a culture’s martial arts and its philosophy
Might enjoy a (healthy) competition with locals of that culture (Ex: Might want to horse race the locals who are renown for horse riding)
Enjoys learning about their religion/faith
Interested in activities that are popular in a culture (Surfing in an island culture for example)
Loves to join cultural festivities and parties
More interested in traveling the countrysides of their preferred culture’s country (Ex: I have a Leo in the 9th house and I would love to ride a horse in the countryside of Japan)
Could be interested on individuals of that particular culture who are popular and helped the country/culture in their own way
Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn 9th House)
Interested in the culture’s structure and how it operates day-to-day basis (This reminds me about Paolo from Tokyo’s videos wherein the majority of his videos talks about how your average Japanese works in Japan, specifically Tokyo)
Interested in the culture’s traditions from traditional clothing and traditional celebrations
Likely prefers the old school aspects of a culture
Takes special interest in a culture’s food and beverages
Likes to know how a culture promotes physical health (Ex. Dietary culture, popular physical exercises)
Interested in the general work culture of the culture. Also interested in how businesses and economy works in a culture
Loves to be in the countryside though probably less hyperactive than Fire on the 9th
Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius 9th House)
Interested in the culture’s language(s) and dialect(s)
May be interested in learning their sense of humor
Interested in how they communicate; how they conduct themselves socially/ knowing the social norms and mores
Interested in knowing the culture’s trends and fads
Interested in their education system
Interested in knowing what is progressing (Ex: technological advancement, values that are progressive for them)
Interested in what part of that culture is unique (Ex: Tipping in Japan is considered offensive in comparison to other countries. Japanese takes pride of doing great services and tipping indicates that they are not doing a great job while a country like the United States believes in the opposite)
Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces 9h House)
Interested in the dark and cynical aspects of a culture (Ex: history of violent wars, war crimes, how a culture oppress their minorities, you get the memo)
Interested in the taboo side of the culture
Interested in knowing how the family structure works and how dynamic it is
Interested in their spirituality, philosophy, and mental health
Interested in the lesser known/mysterious part of a culture
Could be interested in knowing how a culture operates emotionally
Might be attracted to the occult aspects of a culture. Might research about cults (defining “cult” depends on the culture’s definition in combination of your own terminology)

Вдруг кто пользуется!
02.05.2022
Вдруг кто есть из Франции, Польши или Латвии, да даже из США или Германии, Финляндии, Кореи или Японии?
Где все иностранцы ведут свои длинные блоги? Неужели осталась одна Инста, Фэйс, Редит и Ютуб?
Вроде бы в Японии есть Лайн, но там больше я так понимаю короткие сообщения и сторисы, а что на счёт длинных и долгих постов с картинками из путешествий или какие-нибудь длинные эссе, да где же дневники просто в конце концов?
На Тумбе я не нашёл длинных и интересных американских блогов, дневников — нет там какого-нибудь чикагского продавца чаем или баррист из Атланты, нет американских архитекторов из Техаса и так далее и хз. Ну я не нашёл, если что скиньте мне. Знаю точно, что раньше были кайфовые американские порно дневники на Тумбе, но те дни прошли.
Остались только русские длинные текстовые простыни, мы расписываемся так расписываемся.
На Медиуме например в основном какие-то странные журналисты про лайфстайл, программисты с курсов и жутчайшая пропаганда из США! На фэйсбуке по ощущениям тоже одна тупая политика, нет дневников, в основном видел только русские шизофриничные эссе про всё плохо и что пора валить, и только, но говноеды мне не интересны.
Длинных американских, корейских постов на Фэйсбуке нету просто, может алгоритмы мне не показывают?
Где добротные англоязычные дневники, где же французские подростки и взрослые постят свои мысли о домах, часах, музыке и вине?
Я хочу найти блог как у себя, только на другом языке, посоветуйте, плиз.

racism in star wars will have wikis saying shit like "this species that is inspired on a real life non-white people is just too stupid to use the Force"
#hm i should make an original post tag#yes this is about tuskens#they 'lack mental capacity' to be jedi. according to some writer#which is fucking ridiculous#they have enough mental capacity to have two languages (spoken tusken and tusken sign language)#(they are usually seen being used together but they can be used independently)#just because they're nomadic and hostile to colonizers doesn't mean they're stupid. or lack the nuance to understand good and evil.#in me opinion there may not be any tusken jedi but for the same reason there's no bardottan jedi - they have their own force culture#they are hostile to outsiders and defensive of their people‚ of course they wouldn't let some foreign order take their children away#i think a force-sensitive tusken would be highly regarded in their tribe. being one with the universe is a special privilege.

I'm reading Wikihow on how to go to sauna and I'm LIVID. Who the hell wrote this article, this is all bullshit???
"First, wash yourself with a mild soap before going to sauna" = NO, you rinse yourself with water from head to toe first. If you wear a make up, you can wash that off. If you are extremely dirty like covered with oil, shit and blood, then do wash yourself with a soap first.
"Use a swimsuit or a towel in public saunas" = NO, you fucking sit there naked. Period. In swimming halls it is actually dangerous to sit in sauna in a wet bathing suit because of the pools' chlorine, which WILL evaporate.
"Sit on your towel in the sauna" = NO, you don't fucking bring your frigging towel in the sauna. Public saunas provide seat covers which you will take with you from the locker room (like hotels) and dispose afterwards OR you bring your own seat cover with you. You DO NOT sit on the same towel you dry yourself with you fucking ass.
"After you have sat in sauna, come out, cool down and dress yourself" = PUT CLOTHES ON ON YOUR FUCKING SWEATY SKIN??? WITH NO WASHING YOURSELF? BITCH AFTER SAUNA YOU TAKE A PROPER SHOWER AND WASH YOURSELF FROM HEAD TO TOE.
#DO I HAVE TO WRITE THE WIKIHOW MYSELF?????#THAT'S SAUNA BLASPHEMY#This is an insult to a sauna culture!#IF you do ANY of the above at least Finns will not congratulate you for using the sauna right#they will look at you and think AH a foreigner doesn't know anything#did that person really just leave without washing themselves?????#this isn't an onsen!

ace culture is listening to a fun popular song and not relating to a single lyric
#girlie if you don't want to get back with your ex then uhhhh don't ?#have you considered that#i do usually associate most romantic songs to my OCs but this is incomprehensible to me#this is like a foreign language but the translation doesn't make any sense either#i try to replace “him” and “you” with “frappe”#then it almost starts making sense#because I definitely shouldn't see frappe tonight#and yet I keep doing it !#or a cappuccino at 9 pm#in today's episode of “casey discovers pop music outside their usual circle of eurovision and stoner metal and modern rock”#asexual#asexuality#ace culture

lets turn this conversation back to asia lmao. i also find it interesting how these terms have shifted here in seasia. grew up pretty much understanding that asians that come here are immigrants while white people that come here are expats, even if the white people give up their citizenship. what i find interesting is that recently there has been a shift, rich people from other asian countries are also being labelled as "exapts" whether or not they plan to migrate back. however the racism still prevails - people who were completely fine with white expats are complaining and protesting about asian expats stealing their jobs. you'll never see a poor asian person get the expat treatment though, even if they are only here to make some money and go back in a few years. there's your nuance random commentor
exactly, like you'll never see an indonesian or filipino woman who comes to work as a maid in malaysia or singapore to make some money and go back in a few years being called an expat, she is always an "immigrant" but a wealthier person from south korea or japan doing white collar work may now be described as an "expat" much like westerners. like you said, white people who immigrate permanently and even take up citizenship are still called "expats" and not "immigrants" because the word "immigrant" has racial and class connotations. my mom is a white canadian who immigrated to malaysia and has had PR for 20+ years but she's only ever called an expat, not an immigrant. whereas my (malaysian indian) dad in canada has held canadian PR for 40+ years and he's only ever been called an immigrant, even though he had no intention of staying permanently.
#i have so much love and respect for foreign maids/domestic workers they are treated so poorly and face so much police violence too#they are in such precarious situations and are just trying to make ends meet and employers & the cops are so cruel to them#so few legal protections and they are culturally villified. its so bleak

anna biller’s bluebeard’s castle….. offensively bad. each turn of the page adds insult to injury. maybe the most vapid dialogue and narrative monologue I’ve ever had the displeasure of reading. am sat here questioning what manner of incontrovertible steaming refuse I have with great anticipation brought into my hearth and home? a trojan horse parading as a subversive contribution to the literary barbe bleu canon while secretly harbouring a special agent sent here to ruin my evening and possibly my entire life?
will not be finishing the novel but will be keeping it on my shelf untouched and unloved as a hostile cautionary symbol like a head on a pike
#is this my house? or did somebody drop me on foreign soil behind enemy lines?#if yes. we are losing the culture war lads#personal

i think its so cool that iwtv uses visual & cultural shorthand to say something without really saying it (except they kind of do say it as well cause louis is called a houeswife) and its kind of sad ppl aren't even appreciating it like if you remember all the old sitcoms you watched growing up when the kid needed to learn how to drive who was teaching them? probably the dad. we've spent our whole lives watching brides get carried into the house after marriage. we watched lucille ball clean the house while ricky came home in a suit and tie. we've seen a million courtships where the boy gets invited to dinner at the girl's family and they grill him on his intentions, as well as proposals by men getting down on their knees. we've also seen countless romantic comedies where the man uses a song to woo back the girl he lost. does this mean all relationships or marriages have this exact dynamic??? obviously not!! are there also examples of the reverse?? duh. but storytelling is not just about what's in front of you but also the culmination of what you've seen before.
#can't believe im saying this but maybe watch more TV!#honestly if you are from a totally foreign culture and don't have these references that's totally cool i'm not blaming anyone for that#but also its like the show is clearly referencing a lot of western media so its good to at least be aware??

I haven't watched it recently enough to do this analysis in depth, but I definitely think there's something interesting to be said about the interplay between two representations of power in Goncharov - one "legitimate" but less overtly on-screen (the USSR as a state) and one "illegitimate" (organized crime via the Neapolitan mafia), and how the lines between them end up blurring through the different roles each of the characters move through.
it feels relevant to how the Cold War in general is this sort of era where the boundaries of legitimate government, conflict, warfare and tactics, etc. are all in flux and subject to mistrust - your own side becoming "criminal", exploitative, ruthless in pursuit of their own power, like the characterization of the people you're initially set against - questioning what loyalty means when there aren't any good choices, just people on one side or the other getting hurt regardless.
#welp guess I'm doing this shit now!#Goncharov#(and ofc even though it's thematic material very relevant to the US - it's given distance FROM the US by the setting and characters)#(which is always really fun and crunchy to me - portraying your own cultural concerns through the mirror of a foreign context)#rambling#unreality

A funny commonality to both indian/hindu and euro-american creepy etnonationalists who closk their retrograde politics in the veil of anticolonialism is how they will complain about Abrahamic missionaries/invaders trampling over their pristine authentic ancient indigenous traditions even when this offending abrahamic presence often predates large swathes of "traditional" customs and folkloric/religious beliefs and so forth, thus impeding their reclamation of their "real" ancestral culture. Bc if Christian/islamic interference with ones ancient ways is intolerably foreign and oppressive no matter how long ago it was introduced then, oh boy, you are going to fucking hate hearing about the spread of indo European culture!
(Ik that hindu ethnats do in fact develop elaborate pseudoscientific conspiracy theories to hide their head in the sand on this point, i am not sure if this immune response has yet been adopted by the "retvrn to yr evropean roots to avoid culturally appropriating from indigenous Americans" crowd)
#if there are places on earth whose current occupants can trace a pristine cultural and ethnic lineage with no violent foreign imposition#back to the areas first settlers#they are not many#and in europe and south asia they are few and far between indeed#even aside from the christians abd mughals and brits

"but I liked when the canon was that the Blue Spirit mask was from Earth Kingdom opera not the comics retcon where he gets it from his mom :(" see but what you're not considering is that.. it could be... both...
#idk Hir'a seemed pretty isolated. very plausible for them to still be performing plays based on EK arts.#MAYBE its a thing where the mask/story originated in the EK and was adapted in different places but post-Sozin FN was#just like “actually this thing is ours and we made it up all by ourselves” since any foreign culture would have been seen#as lesser and they wouldnt want to admit any connection...#this aside tho I do prefer the Ursa retcon cus like. mommy's boy in his mommy mask <3 hilarious. in character.#atla

do you think this was gene luen yang making fun of how many people misspell kenan's name as keenan jfsjfdh
#have seen this misspelling several times in the past few days alone. really makes you wonder#i feel like this backup was just them telling mr yang hey. you have to find a reason to separate kenan from the jlc#because the whole thing just is so...#like what's the reason they couldn't just be like hey baixi. there's psychic magic involved so i Can't tell you without your brain exploding#but nooooo. ohh he's too smart he'll figure it out from ANY information so you can't tell him ANYTHING#what a copout?#i trust gene luen yang as a writer so my bet is this is on editorial chsfhzf and like overall the details of this story were good#but the PLOT of it was. well#anyways. i love how he writes kenan As a foreigner who struggles with english and assimilation and culture class#rimi talks#kenan
