Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.

Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.

Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

Greetings, looks like I am going to expand my horizons soon. Wish me luck as this new chapter will be challenging to say the least.

Some Singaporeans think Malaysia and Thailand are both some kind of war zone or what. I’ve actually met Singaporeans that just wouldn’t stop shitting on Malaysia phrasing it as if crime happens everyday to everyone.

The “news” site as well is phrasing it as if it’s a Bugatti Chiron driven through some uncivilised third world.

No idea how this is newsworthy even. Some more it’s a diesel Maserati so is it really a real Maserati?

It's a tabloid, they have to milk it somehow.

Born into this world perpetually disappointed they're not actually a westerner, this is how they cope (a common disease here too tbh)

everytime i see my friend's gf, it triggers fight or flight response idk why, mostly flight

she seems really nice, didn't exactly do anything to me but i feel like every single molecule in my bodeh wants to run away from her as if in my past life i was hunted down by her or sth

It's so funny how reddit-side of fedi is even more uncontrollable federated exposure that I've found myself posting to monyet with more manglish and melayu grammar simply so I can signal the post isn't meant to be international readers-first 🤣

So I'm not the only one noticing a lot of interactions from people outside Malaysia in here today.

[–] cendawanita@monyet.cc 1 points 1 year ago

Quite common tbh, and usually not a problem, since fedi is dominated by Europeans rather than Americans, so every place is like a generic international meeting point. But the more easily the post is seen as generic international, the more it signals as international space so it's the luck of the timezone lol.

How can I stop my boss from trying to gaslight me? 🤔

[–] weecious@monyet.cc 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Email, recorded teams call

[–] Naomikho@monyet.cc 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Does it actually work? It's not serious gaslighting but it annoys me a little sometimes haha

[–] weecious@monyet.cc 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you can pull the receipts, he should leave you alone. It's something I have to learn as my manager has thrown me under the bus a few times.

[–] Naomikho@monyet.cc 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

oof :( I'm kind of in a dilemma because my managers actually helped me blocked the bullets from top management but sometimes I still feel like kena gaslighted by them(for smaller matters) haha

[–] weecious@monyet.cc 1 points 1 year ago

That's what managers should do. Gaslighting isn't one of them.
