Relationship suggestions! Should I give up on her?

My girlfriend and I have been dating for almost two years now, and half of our relationship is long-distance (LDR). We're both fine with that, but the only problem is that I have a dream to live abroad, and she doesn't seem interested in that. Every time I bring up the topic, she throws a tantrum and acts like I'm about to leave her behind. She accuses me of being selfish, not caring about building a future together, and threatens that she won't come with me and won't even try, etc.**

**Even though I love her with all my heart, I just can't stand her childish behavior and her constant demands for approval and attention. I know every girl is demanding in one way or another, but I'm not the type of guy who simps for a girl. Even though I don't have a plan to travel abroad yet, I know it's something I want to do. The only thing on my mind right now is to travel and live abroad. I know that moving to another country will not solve all my problems, but I'm willing to take that risk. I just want someone I truly love to listen to my problems and give me support, even if it's just through words or listening.

Unpopular Opinion: We should start thanking the Thai Gov than dissing them

Now you may be reading that and going like, this guy is a military supporter right? No I hate the military as much as others. They've jeoprodized my education and made my life a living hell. I ain't glazing Thailand and don't like the Thai military junta either, but they're at least better.

I see a lot of people making cartoons like oh Thailand is just sending conscripts into Myanmar to serve in the military. One thing I will tell you is that THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY NOT OBLIGATED TO TAKE IN BURMESE PEOPLE. THEY ARE NOT! Imagine yourself right. You have a neighbor you don't really like but is on neutral terms with them. Then their house burns down, whatchu gon do? Let them in so that they can live with you forever? Of course not! Them already accepting migrant workers and students into THEIR country is already a lot. Like go to the US Customs and Immigration and beg to them like you beg to the Thai Immigration to let you in. Do you know what they will do? They'll deport your sorry ass back home. Japan and Korea are no exception. They say like they fully support our cause and they are aligned with us. Then why the fuck did they restrict our visas? Thailand accepting hundreds of thousands of migrant workers and students from our country every month is a lot. A lot more support than ANY other country around the world has. Them deporting illegal migrants? They're protecting their national interests. Thailand isn't our country neither do they owe us anything. Their border guards sending migrants back to Myanmar? Protection of national interests. If you go through the right channels there is absolutely no way they will deport you back.

Second of all is you damn silver spooned activists living abroad and writing up propaganda. Why did you report KrungThai bank to the fucking ICJ. You think you smart? What you did resulted in the millions of Burmese bank accounts being shut down and frozen including those of migrant workers and students. Krung Thai Bank is not to be messed with. You gotta remember the Thai junta doesn't own it, the King does. It's under direct control of the Crown of Thailand. You mess with the king you are dead. Krung Thai used to allow Burmese citizens to open accounts at their banks now they've banned ALL BURMESE PASSPORT HOLDERS. They also made almost every single bank in Thailand to put restrictions and boundaries on Burmese citizens. What should I say to you? Congratulations? Congratulations on not hitting the right target and instead affecting millions others. Congratulations on sacrificing the accounts of millions of middle income students and migrant workers just to get some of the SAC's bank accounts frozen.

Like sure we can diss the Thai government for doing some crazy things against our people but we gotta remember they are currently our ONLY best chance. The Thai government making extreme policies against our people are the cause of our own people. Some people who move to Thailand think they found some loophole and start exploiting it. Then Bam, everyone is affected. Because we don't want to blame ourselves, who do we blame? Of course we blame the Thai Government.

People with all due respect, I love my country. I love it so much I want to see the growth of its people and nation. I know we are all struggling to make ends meet, but we all gotta remember that Thailand, when they deport those workers illegally entering, its because they are protecting their national interests. Of course kicking out millions of legal migrant workers is inherently evil, but we gotta remember that this is only a small portion of the total migrant workers here. Them restricting students is the cause of stupid Mainland Chinese people who like us think they smart and found some loophole and our own people. If you're going to make an Education visa people, please only do it for Education. Don't drop out suddenly and start working. Work and study. Do both.

Cheers!

Medical students from Myanmar have not been released until today. Being a medical doctor or nurse or medical student is not a crime. It's even ridiculous to have to say this out loud. The military abducted my seniors because they give treatment to protest

Anyone currently living in bangkok or planning to go who want to share room ?

I’m 20M Burmese student planning to go to USA for studying purpose . Before that, I am thinking of temporarily staying in Bangkok for around 6-8 months . Due to financial reason, It’s not very comfortable for me to rent a room all myself , but okay pay half the rental price. Any place I can inquire about it? It doesn’t have to be city center , the cheaper the better for me . I am considering Rangsit area . I will be going there in mid-December.

Looking for a little information about a SEA Band/singer

So I've been listening to The Key album by either an artist or a band called Thar Dee Lu and was just wondering if anyone would be kind enough to give me a little bit of information about them? I think they are south east Asian, possibly Burmese but I do not know.

I've really enjoyed the album but unfortunately being from Scotland I do not understand the language used in the songs and Spotify and YouTube it is written in Burmese and I'm having trouble translating so it's been a bit of a mystery I've been enjoying this last week. Also apologies if my questions comes off as ignorant for example if Thar Dee Lu is a band name or a person's name.

So basically my main question I've already sort of asked would be is this a popular band/singer? Do they have a general theme they sing about in they're songs? Are they a band/singer you enjoy? What genre of music in Myanmar is most famous?

Even if I do not find the whole answers I am happy to have stumbled on such a gem of an album, they very much remind me of a Scottish band called 'Scheme' as well as bands like Pink Floyd and Matchbox Twenty, all bands that I enjoy.

For funs sake, if you where to ask me what I think the songs are about without knowing the language I would say the vibe is one of hardships and hope. Like a mixture of blues and rock with a feature not quite heard in western music. I think their music resonates in the mind even without knowing what is being spoken. My favourite two songs are 'Htin Yar Sine' and 'Tite Pwel' could you please tell me what those titles mean.

I hope you're doing well everyone and wish this post finds you with a smile

Chinese human trafficking ring targeting young Myanmar girls for marriage to Chinese men via social media busted in Mandalay

Chinese and Myanmar nationals involved in human trafficking operations through Tik T0k were arrested in Mandalay. These traffickers were reportedly targeting young Myanmar girls through Facebook and Tik T0k, exploiting them to be sold off to Chinese husbands.

A Chinese led human trafficking gang was apprehended at Mandalay International Airport, leading to the rescue of 14 victims. The arrest took place at 7:30 a.m. on October 24, following a coordinated effort by the Anti-Trafficking Police Unit in Mandalay. The unit conducted checks on outbound passengers, which enabled them to identify and detain the Chinese traffickers.

Is this still the best Burmese LLM that can be run locally?

Title: https://github.com/MinSiThu/MyanmarGPT

Is this still the best Burmese LLM that can be run locally? It's quite limited in terms of its functionality for general text-based tasks, like summarizing articles or refactoring text to be more informal/formal. Claude Sonnet 3.5 is still a lot better.

Anyways, with the internet becoming so bad in Myanmar, specifically when leaving the cities, I was hoping to find a better model that can be run offline. Thanks for any help.

Why is France called ပြင်သစ် in Burmese?

Im from Myanmar and pretty much all countries in Burmese are loanwords pronounced slightly differently. All countries except China and France. Now, there is some data online on where the word for China (တရုတ်) came from but theres nothing about why France is called ပြင်သစ်. Any clue?

What would you call a Burmese astronaut?

I'm working on a writing project that takes place in the future and involves a Burmese space station and I'm wondering what the term would be for a Burmese astronaut. Like how the soviets had cosmonauts and China has taikonauts.

My girlfriend ကန်တော့ me recently

သီတင်းကျွတ်တုန်းက ကိုယ့်ကောင်မလေးဆီကကန်တော့ခံရတယ် ၃ကြိမ်ဦးတိုက်ခံရတယ် I know the younger one would ကန်တော့ the elder but bear in mind we are of the same age. I am just few months older than her. The age difference is so insignificant to be someone of an older and wiser person for her to show reverence. I always treat my partner as equals with the intention of going through life together and not someone superior. When I say ရပါတယ်အားနာစရာကြီး she would always respond with ဟော် ကိုယ့်ရည်းစားပဲကန်တော့ရမှာပေါ့ We live in Yangon as well much more liberal in thinking than other cities and towns.

ကန်တော့ - pay obeisance with one’s hands clasped palm to palm and raised to touch one’s forehead

As well as bowing down while kneeling until one forehead’s touches the floor/ a person’s feet

A new idea of protest

What if we we started writing "Min aung hlaing ma a loe" and other phrase on over money? As to opposed the military junta government? It's a great way of protest and does not need that much time and labour. We will distribute the money during our daily life as we buy items and exchange our money. And technically it's still legal tender and no one can stop it. It will eventually reach the banks and the government and eventually some newsfolk person might hear the news and will spread information about what's happening in Myanmar. It's a good idea that I have thought for about some times. There might be some loopholes we could take advantages of. To the point where they will have to destroy the money which might cause some problems for the government and will cause chaos for the junta. If enough people do it we might be able to confuse and cause chaos to the government.

(Just a sliy idea that I thought of lol don't take it too seriously)
