Like a lot of people the show that got me into anime was Dragon Ball so I was obviously pretty excited by the big Goku in the middle of the hall at Hong Kong Comic Con

If I understood it correctly they had some of the props and costumes from the Mandalorian and Grogu at Hong Kong Comic Con. I was keeping my eyes open as I walked around and was pretty excited when I found them. This Grogu was particularly great

We spent a lot of time walking around to see all of the cosplayers and a lot of them were very impressive. I will admit though that I often did not know the characters that were being cosplayed

American shares his 9 realizations about the U.S. after 13 years abroad and it’s eye-opening

@s1m0n4 nel caso specifico degli #expat non so, ma per gli italiani che stanno in Italia non è vero che le carte d'identità cartacee non verranno più accettate.

Carta d’identità cartacea valida anche dopo il 3 agosto: cosa cambia

Il Governo evita la corsa agli sportelli: le carte d’identità cartacee non scadute restano valide anche oltre il 3 agosto 2026 e fino alla data indicata sul documento, ma con alcuni limiti. Ecco cosa cambia, quando serve la CIE e cosa devono fare i cittadini.

La Legge per Tutti

La logica da lotteria ha pervaso gli uffici consolari. Vengo a sapere che, a partire da Agosto 2026, le carte di identità cartacee non verranno più accettate. Ci vuole la CIE.

Bene. Creo un account su #Prenot@mi, per poter prendere appuntamento al consolato, e ottengo solo una finestrella di errore.

Invio una mail e mi rispondono che bisogna connettersi dalla domenica al giovedì, dalle 20 in poi, ma meglio alle 19:55, perché i posti finiscono subito 🤬

At the end of May we went down to Hong Kong for Hong Kong Comic Con. The main reason we went down was to meet Giancarlo Esposito but we made sure to enjoy the event too. We visited the booths and checked out the cosplayers. Though unfortunately we didn’t see any of the panel discussions

Certain terms really annoy me.

If you go to live and work in another country, you are NOT an #expat, regardless of how long you're gone. You are an #immigrant. Screw your white, English privilege. You go through #immigration, not expatification...

I will never refer to you under the privileged term YOU CHOSE. You also chose to leave. Own up to it and grow up. Many people didn't have a choice. They NEEDED to leave, usually for safety reasons. Stop trying to seem special. You're not.

🌍 Living in Finland as a developer from Pakistan:

Things I didn't expect:
→ Work-life balance is REAL here
→ Silence in meetings = thinking, not disagreement
→ EU companies value senior devs who can communicate
→ Remote-first culture is chef's kiss

If you're considering a move to the Nordic region — do it. The quality of life is unmatched.
