I'm a Vietnamese cis woman born and currently living in the U.S. You may know me from Sandwich, from Twitter or Mastodon (same username), or on Twitch as Sharkaeopteryx. I do not have a Discord or Bluesky account.

Ask me about language learning/teaching, cooking/eating food, late diagnosis ADHD, and volunteer small business mentoring. Or don't, I'm not the boss of you.


I think people deserve to be young, make mistakes, and grow without being held to standards they don't know about yet and are still learning. So, if you are under 22, please don't try to strike up a friendship or get involved in discussions on my posts.


Please don't automatically assume I follow/know/co-sign someone just because I reposted something from them—sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Also, if you think being removed as a follower when we're not mutuals is a cardinal sin, please do not follow me.

Asking questions online is so exhausting sometimes. Its like everyone would rather become a little ChatGPT than just saying they don't know the answer.

I went on the Lancer subreddit asking about foreign worlds' relationship with Union, if there was any official material that explained their attitude. My reasoning was that not every world would be accepting of a previously tyrannical empire extending its gratitude, especially if they were victims of SecComm.

Even if what happened was centuries or over a millenium ago, in the real world we are still feeling the effects of colonization from centuries before. Yet all material I have access to is from Union's perspective - which has Word of God to say they are, indeed, benevolent, but that doesn't mean the rest of the universe agrees. So I wanted to know if there were forces that were not necessarily moraly repugnant who opposed Union, just naturally wary of an empire approaching them with open arms, when not that long ago they came bearing arms.

But the brunt of answers is just people who really want to say something, even though they got nothing to say.

like, what's the point in going through the work of typing all that, man? You just rambled about something that has nothing to do with what was asked.
