I am also Russian, I will not call Philippino people stupid. Some of them are disrepectful on the road (drivers don't give way to pedestrians), some of them when they see a foreigner shout HEY JOE (they think that all foreigners are Americans?), some of them when they when they see a foreigner, say GAGO. But mostly Philippinos are very good, kind, respectful and shy.
I am expat in the Philippines since 31 years, if I would be you better watch to call some people stupid, because if they recognise you, you may not be save here anymore.
your right sir: i admit some people are naive especialy in remote area of my country, but we are not that stupid, hope this guy wont regognise and dont mind of the pilipino or else he well be sorry, its ok to give some opinion, but not that toatally hars, especialy the country who accept you as a guest..
there's no draft happening in Russia though. There have been partial mobilization when the SMO started but that's it, compare it to Ukraine when they just grab people off the streets.
Let me tell you something about Filipinos, they are very self aware. If you call them stupid, they know it's true. We even call ourselves those things " ungoy, magnanakow, walanghiya, stupid", If you call most of them lazy, they know it's true. Filipinos know all of this and only if they are in a group they will get aggressive,but if they are by themselves they will most likely ignore you unless you get in their face. It's ok.
being frank and not afraid to vent out his personal thoughts and opinions is fine, but giving outrageous comments to the people of the country who welcome you with arms wide open
The first step to become better is recognizing the areas where one isnt good. Only the ignorant never become wise when they are blind to their ignorance. First of all you have shown being a mature person, by forgiving the Russian, good for you.
3:20 "I don't like...SOME people is a LITTLE stupid." When you say "calling us this way" it implies you take it as if he said "everyone is stupid". He said "SOME" meanining "not us". Russian used the word "Some" meaning "only SOME of us" is a LITTLE stupid(not FULL stupid). Gotta get the details accurate especially when our kababayans have tendencies to exaggerate and overreact.😉 REAL TALK: lampas 50% pinoy ay "stupid". Reason? (it's how you differentiate the terms STUPID from IDIOT.) STUPID(tanga) means you are SMART enough to know what is right from wrong but STILL went ahead to do the wrong thing. IDIOT(bobo) = low I.Q.; can't discern what is right from wrong. DEFINITELY hindi ganyan ang Pinoy. We are HIGHLY intelligent. But we often use EMOTIONS (instead of logic) in decision making.

It's like you have the answers to the test already but you still find a way to fail the test. I always say Philippines issue is cultural, most Filipinos are just plain short sighted and don't think about the implications of the future.

Remember the American built up schools and more to have influence in the language etc....I dont think that ever happened in Russia 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉 Yes sir you spot on, give more time to your gf to process or well you could learn the native language...and then you will conclude about the process factor 😁😁

@@arkitotoyz How can we ever become economically strong when other countries like Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China and Singapore work harder than we do. Make no excuses for failure, take responsibility, plan for the future and they even show up on time.

For my fellow Filipino Just understand he is having a hardtime in speaking english.We should be considerate of language barrier and also his statement whether it is good or not but please guys be open-minded and Be a bigger person here. As filipino we have great understanding related to many things in our society.Good day everyone!

he used a racist theory put forward by philippe rushton that says that people from tropical climates have innately lower iq than people who live up north where there are four seasons and harsh winters. but theres a flaw, russian iq is just 96 same as filipinos living in america, which means its not innate. iq can be increased through better education
Glad to know he mentioned different groups like The Russians in Phuket and the Australians in Bali. Once a certain group likes an area the news spreads and more and more come over to that area. I kind of understand what the Russian was saying, the Philippines has kind of a let live attitude like the French saying laissez-faire and so there's not as much need to plan. They don't care as much maybe that's why they're so happy and easy going.
Unfortunately locals wont see it that way...which confirms what the Russian said is correct hahaha...I am afraid someone is going to call immigration on him....If anyone would have said something like that in any 1st world country NO ONE WOULD HAVE GIVING A DAMN, specially if is true hahahaah
What he say is 100% correct.. actually not correct because he say a little stup1d.. no not a little.. it's very very very very stup1d.. a lot of taxi driver in manila will take advantage especially for the foreigners

I think there is a misunderstanding when he was using the word " STUPID ". Remember guys English is their second language. Im DUAL CITIZEN. Been living in the USA for almost 25 yrs. THERE IS A LOT OF STUPID PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD 😂🤣😂
He was trying to say that Philippine people don't critically think. As far as Thailand goes, I didn't have any problems in tourist areas getting services that I needed. In fact I have trouble in Manila and Dumaguete with Filipinos understanding me and was going to bring a translator.
So you’re very entitled person, you came to the Philippines thinking that all Filipinos will understand you, you should be the one to adapt and not them. Maybe just stay where you came from so everyone will understand you.
Why did he lump all Filipinos as not critical thinkers? Us Filipinos as critical thinkers is what allowed foreigners to be welcomed here in our country.
@@Sahey846 He didnt say ALL, its time for Filipinos to be a little bit more mature and accept some criticism, and for foreigners not to be afraid that one of you is going to call Immigration officer on them hahaha. Besides the guy is Russian and they speak their mind openly, something Filipinos never do hahahaha. Believe me foreigners wont get offended if you going to point out something that is obvious....like Germans are too strict, French are not so fun of showers, Thais are racists, Americans think the world goes around them, should I continue? hahahahaha
That was a great video, Russian are more direct and practical and VERY observant, so they give a unique perspective, if you find other Russian's would be great.

@@laverdad2022 I dont totally agree with everything you said, but you have a point. As a filipino, we should never forget to smile even at the face of adversity. That's our identity.
Hi Alex, I AM not sure if my reply message went through. Two days ago we (about 15 people plus) went to the caves nearby (an hour away. Really cool 👍🏽. I gave up on remembering names of places. I just follow the leader. Last night we had a huge party of 100 plus people. It was a graduation party for our youngest. The one thing I that I did not like, was all the old timers kept forcing liquor. And they would get mad I refused the offer. I don't drink. And they kept asking me to buy a case of Empi light. I will not buy liquor. I offered to buy water instead. So far all is well (borderline phenomenal). I'll just say, certain people have no clue what a budget is. And use money that is intended for other needs.
Yes I saw it and replied to it I hear you about everything you mentioned. Just stand your ground and don't cave into pressure of any kind You're he man and you can doa as you wish Enjoy your time!!
You can do whatever you like of course. It’s in the culture though, that if you are hosting that you care or consider the needs of your guests and requests that are denied only because of your personal preference is unreasonable and rude. Of course I don’t understand your situation, just an input. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Welcome bro to the Philippines. You got the wise move. You are safe here in my country. There are many Russians married to Filipinos. You can search them on social media to ask for guidance. Good luck and God bless.
Maybe he didn't mean it that way , he compare Russia to Philippines how they plan 6 months ahead because of winter while in the Philippines no need to do that , so he find it unbelievable so the word " S....." maybe " STRANGE" or Ridiculous if you try to follow the context of his opinion. Peace 😊

his real opinion and unbiased comments towards us are eye opening, he says 'SOME' of us are 'SOMETIMES' doing stupid things towards him maybe some Filipinos are took advantage to him, very understandable for a Slavic person as he experience minimal sunlight exposure, a majority of people who are unwelcome, introverts and shy and even smiling on public would put you in big trouble if you smile on a stranger. factors why they are different are vitamin D deficiency that helps brain health. don't you worry bro still your comment won't harm anyone and our arms wide open for you anytime you depart and come back
Maybe because English is not his primary language, what he probably means is lazy, not necessarily stupid. He is just saying that since the Philippines only has one season (hot), there is no need for many of us to think far ahead in the future because everything is always grows and is available. Unlike in other countries where there is winter (very cold) like Russia, people tend to think far ahead and save for the lean months or else they will go hungry because nothing grows or is harvested during winter.

I think what he really meant was that many Filipinos don't plan life way in advance and are more carefree ("stupid" was not the correct or most accurate word) because there's no long, cold, winter season to warrant it, unlike in Russia- if you don't plan for the winter, you could be cold, starving, even no longer alive after winter!
This Russian is partly right there are Filipinos who did not mind on pedestrian lane area and won't slow down showing disrespect not only foreighns experience but fellow Filipinos too. On other side there are kind and respectful Filipino. Just be careful and watchful to the people who approach you not all people regardless of race are kind.

Not at all, you are underestimating the Russian intelligence and fast understanding of Filipinos. He said amongst other things LITTLE STUPID he even stress out not just how good Filipinos are at singing but why...something that most foreigners living in PH do not know. He understood the PH much better than many many foreigners and even locals hahaha BTW who said he left Russia? I think is on a trip....where are you from?

How can he be here if he did not leave Russia? Maybe you misread what I said and understood I said he left FOR GOOD, which means something differently? Your comprehension of what I have said is wrong
Why would someone else's point of view piss you off? It says a lot about you and Filipinos rather than Vladimir himself. Are Filipinos stupid? Definitely far from being the brightest. With that said, would this be a deal breaker for anyone wanting to get away from the madness of North America and western Europe? Most likely not. The majority of foreigners don't spend their time with other foreigners. To a lot of us, other foreigners in the Philippines are rejects that we would've never ever even looked at in our home countries. Now... Is it possible to have a conversation about the meaning of life or the reasons why locals are onion skinned with Filipinos? Not a chance... Very very emotional population with a hive mentality that keeps them in a hole. The Philippines was once the most prosperous nation in Asia (that's right. Ahead of China). Those days are long gone and it is reflected in the annual global education rankings (among the least performing nations in STEM and reading comprehension). Learn to hear things that go against what you like and believe. It will do you, and your kababayan, a great deal of good.

When English is your 2nd language its not easy to translate what you want to say.
It feels like a breath of fresh air to have more candid and frank interviews.
Gago in English stupid or idiot
😢Filipinos: No planning. TRUE
Let me tell you something about Filipinos, they are very self aware. If you call them stupid, they know it's true. We even call ourselves those things " ungoy, magnanakow, walanghiya, stupid", If you call most of them lazy, they know it's true.

@@MARCBEA1 It depends on the group, If they are educated, they'd laugh and high-five you.
@@bigradwolf5001 What's discouraging is that all the answers are already there, if you have a problem other countries have already done it or found a solution. It's like you have the answers to the test already but you still find a way to fail the test. I always say Philippines issue is cultural, most Filipinos are just plain short sighted and don't think about the implications of the future.
@@bigradwolf5001 The educated ones that are able to find work abroad and most of the rich ones leave the country and they don't want to come back except just to visit. Most of my family live abroad and despite of their wealth they still don't want to live in the Philippines.I have to be honest I am very privileged and l have traveled almost around the world to be honest and it breaks my heart the big disparity between the Philippines compared to most 1st tear countries. Not even close....
Not often I meet a cool Russian, but Alex seems like one cool dude also his broken English is admirable. I'm constantly reminding myself to give my Pinay time to process a response in English. She speaks it well, but it's not her primary or first language. However, i give anyone extra respect for learning one of the most perplexing languages on the planet✌🏾
Remember the American built up schools and more to have influence in the language etc....I dont think that ever happened in Russia 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉
Yes sir you spot on, give more time to your gf to process or well you could learn the native language...and then you will conclude about the process factor 😁😁
Go home to your Country

He did say taxi driver which we know he meant taxi scammers.
@@MARCBEA1 I'm a Filipino and I am not offended with what he said. What he said is fine and he most probably did not mean it in a bad way. He speaks broken English and probably could not come up of a better term or nicer way to say it.
@@arkitotoyz How can we ever become economically strong when other countries like Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China and Singapore work harder than we do. Make no excuses for failure, take responsibility, plan for the future and they even show up on time. We do none of those things as a people and we need to change the culture of mediocrity that has been the norm because it's not working. The whole world sees us a second class race just good for cheap labor and it's embarrassing ! So I don't know why you people publicly say your proud to be a Filipino and privately complain how bad it is in the Philippines."Hypocrites ".
Nice interview, ty
For my fellow Filipino Just understand he is having a hardtime in speaking english.We should be considerate of language barrier and also his statement whether it is good or not but please guys be open-minded and Be a bigger person here. As filipino we have great understanding related to many things in our society.Good day everyone!
Loved hearing Alex's take on the Philippines, especially his comments about Kawasan Falls. I was lucky to experience it with the friendly locals and share it on my channel. I also appreciate how he just tells it as it is. Great interview!
Is so true, but I think stupidity are all over the world.
Yeah but there other level

Look at how they voted in son of past corrupted leader back in power and being proxy for US like Zelensky. Well.
he used a racist theory put forward by philippe rushton that says that people from tropical climates have innately lower iq than people who live up north where there are four seasons and harsh winters. but theres a flaw, russian iq is just 96 same as filipinos living in america, which means its not innate. iq can be increased through better education
Glad to know he mentioned different groups like The Russians in Phuket and the Australians in Bali. Once a certain group likes an area the news spreads and more and more come over to that area. I kind of understand what the Russian was saying, the Philippines has kind of a let live attitude like the French saying laissez-faire and so there's not as much need to plan. They don't care as much maybe that's why they're so happy and easy going.
Great interview. I liked how he is so blunt and honest, telling it exactly as he sees it.
Unfortunately locals wont see it that way...which confirms what the Russian said is correct hahaha...I am afraid someone is going to call immigration on him....If anyone would have said something like that in any 1st world country NO ONE WOULD HAVE GIVING A DAMN, specially if is true hahahaah
I would say the same thing!!!!
What he say is 100% correct.. actually not correct because he say a little stup1d.. no not a little.. it's very very very very stup1d.. a lot of taxi driver in manila will take advantage especially for the foreigners

Foreigners integrate more than us. Yet they overstay their visa and dont pay tax😅
He didn't mean to say Stupid in a literal way. It's the language barrier. Kahit mga pinoy din hindi gaanong marunong mag englis
Another great and interesting video! Full support & good luck as always/Ned👍👍
Flip here, true honestly. But I'd expand on that further, as there are a lot of stupid people in the world right now.
I think there is a misunderstanding when he was using the word " STUPID ". Remember guys English is their second language. Im DUAL CITIZEN. Been living in the USA for almost 25 yrs. THERE IS A LOT OF STUPID PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD 😂🤣😂
He was trying to say that Philippine people don't critically think. As far as Thailand goes, I didn't have any problems in tourist areas getting services that I needed. In fact I have trouble in Manila and Dumaguete with Filipinos understanding me and was going to bring a translator.
he said LITTLE STUPID....then each one by knowledge and or experience living and studying Filipino life can conclude.
@@laverdad2022 Whatever you say!
So you’re very entitled person, you came to the Philippines thinking that all Filipinos will understand you, you should be the one to adapt and not them. Maybe just stay where you came from so everyone will understand you.
Why did he lump all Filipinos as not critical thinkers? Us Filipinos as critical thinkers is what allowed foreigners to be welcomed here in our country.
@@Sahey846 He didnt say ALL, its time for Filipinos to be a little bit more mature and accept some criticism, and for foreigners not to be afraid that one of you is going to call Immigration officer on them hahaha.
Besides the guy is Russian and they speak their mind openly, something Filipinos never do hahahaha.
Believe me foreigners wont get offended if you going to point out something that is obvious....like Germans are too strict, French are not so fun of showers, Thais are racists, Americans think the world goes around them, should I continue? hahahahaha
Hey! I lived here in the U.S. I’m glad you were able to visit Bohol where I came from, and Cebu. Have fun. Filipinos are good people.
That was a great video, Russian are more direct and practical and VERY observant, so they give a unique perspective, if you find other Russian's would be great.

@@laverdad2022 I dont totally agree with everything you said, but you have a point. As a filipino, we should never forget to smile even at the face of adversity. That's our identity.
Hi Alex, I AM not sure if my reply message went through.
Two days ago we (about 15 people plus) went to the caves nearby (an hour away. Really cool 👍🏽.
I gave up on remembering names of places. I just follow the leader.
Last night we had a huge party of 100 plus people. It was a graduation party for our youngest.
The one thing I that I did not like, was all the old timers kept forcing liquor. And they would get mad I refused the offer. I don't drink. And they kept asking me to buy a case of Empi light. I will not buy liquor. I offered to buy water instead.
So far all is well (borderline phenomenal).
I'll just say, certain people have no clue what a budget is. And use money that is intended for other needs.
Yes I saw it and replied to it
I hear you about everything you mentioned.
Just stand your ground and don't cave into pressure of any kind
You're he man and you can doa as you wish
Enjoy your time!!
You can do whatever you like of course. It’s in the culture though, that if you are hosting that you care or consider the needs of your guests and requests that are denied only because of your personal preference is unreasonable and rude. Of course I don’t understand your situation, just an input. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Welcome bro to the Philippines. You got the wise move. You are safe here in my country. There are many Russians married to Filipinos. You can search them on social media to ask for guidance. Good luck and God bless.
And the intermarriage goes both ways based on the people I meet in real life! 😁
I love it... "A lot of stupid people." haha! Leave it to a Russian to say what he is thinking without filters.
all country had lots of stupid people not only Philippines
It's possible that the people he called stupid think the same of him. They don't understand each other. How about you? 😊
He said that some people are stupid but you're saying that a lot are stupid. Are you sure you're not stupid? 😊
@@JoeyZee-vs4kr Average IQ in Philippines is 81. In the United states, it's 97.4. Russia is 96.3
U.S. is 29th in the world... Nothing to brag about
Maybe he didn't mean it that way , he compare Russia to Philippines how they plan 6 months ahead because of winter while in the Philippines no need to do that , so he find it unbelievable so the word " S....." maybe " STRANGE" or Ridiculous if you try to follow the context of his opinion. Peace 😊
No offense, he's not good with his English language. He probably meant different
For anyone with 1 full neuron is pretty clear all he say is exactly what he meant, even with his broken English. A very smart guy indeed.

his real opinion and unbiased comments towards us are eye opening, he says 'SOME' of us are 'SOMETIMES' doing stupid things towards him maybe some Filipinos are took advantage to him, very understandable for a Slavic person as he experience minimal sunlight exposure, a majority of people who are unwelcome, introverts and shy and even smiling on public would put you in big trouble if you smile on a stranger. factors why they are different are vitamin D deficiency that helps brain health. don't you worry bro still your comment won't harm anyone and our arms wide open for you anytime you depart and come back
Great interview man!!!
Maybe because English is not his primary language, what he probably means is lazy, not necessarily stupid. He is just saying that since the Philippines only has one season (hot), there is no need for many of us to think far ahead in the future because everything is always grows and is available. Unlike in other countries where there is winter (very cold) like Russia, people tend to think far ahead and save for the lean months or else they will go hungry because nothing grows or is harvested during winter.
There’s Barbie island living in siargao , hope you’ll have time one day to interview her , it will be amazing

HE HAS A POINT. IN PHILIPPINE PROVINCE PEOPLE THERE ARE MORE RELAX. THEY ARE NOT AFRAID TO LOOSE A JOB.. IT'S VERY DIFFERENT IN THE CITY
Im a filipino, and i understand if he thinks that way and we cant please every1 how they felt about our country. But it doesnt change the fact that Russians is Philippines Good Friend.❤
I watch more and more videos and I've come to the realization that I managed to find one of the very few cities (Santo Tomas) where people basically reject ALL western culture including English.
In the Philippines there are only 3 seasons, wet, dry, and winter but the winter, it’s like summer in Russia.

I think what he really meant was that many Filipinos don't plan life way in advance and are more carefree ("stupid" was not the correct or most accurate word) because there's no long, cold, winter season to warrant it, unlike in Russia- if you don't plan for the winter, you could be cold, starving, even no longer alive after winter!
This Russian is partly right there are Filipinos who did not mind on pedestrian lane area and won't slow down showing disrespect not only foreighns experience but fellow Filipinos too. On other side there are kind and respectful Filipino. Just be careful and watchful to the people who approach you not all people regardless of race are kind. Just enjoy your stay Sir the way you appreciate the weather here. There are still kind filipinos outthere. Take care😊

For me stupidity doesn’t have common sense and anywhere you go around the world, not only some, it’s a lot of stupid people.
not everywhere you will find a little stupid people in many place you find little stupid people singing that are extremely unfriendly and...well sleeping in their houses hahahahaha

I can understand what he said .People living at higher latitudes do have to endure more to survive because of weather , while people living closer to the equator are genetically less aggressive and less situation to need think more , so will more “Lazy” also inefficient,less plan,or you can say lay back, Carpe Diem
its hot now because its summer.. after summer is raining season 😊
but the loud karaoke keeps on running...no matter what 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉

Alex tell us what you really think😊😊😊
just a little....
Yes, when you live in a tropical country you don't have to work hard and plan for 6-8 months of winter. If you are hungry go fishing or just reach up and grab a banana off the tree. I would like to know what Alex is doing to support himself as a young man living abroad?

Not at all, you are underestimating the Russian intelligence and fast understanding of Filipinos. He said amongst other things LITTLE STUPID he even stress out not just how good Filipinos are at singing but why...something that most foreigners living in PH do not know.
He understood the PH much better than many many foreigners and even locals hahaha
BTW who said he left Russia? I think is on a trip....where are you from?
@@laverdad2022 You can try and read my comment again.
1. Nowhere in my comment did I underestimate Russian intelligence, this statement is an invention.
2. How can he be here if he did not leave Russia? Maybe you misread what I said and understood I said he left FOR GOOD, which means something differently? Your comprehension of what I have said is wrong
Why would someone else's point of view piss you off? It says a lot about you and Filipinos rather than Vladimir himself. Are Filipinos stupid? Definitely far from being the brightest. With that said, would this be a deal breaker for anyone wanting to get away from the madness of North America and western Europe? Most likely not. The majority of foreigners don't spend their time with other foreigners. To a lot of us, other foreigners in the Philippines are rejects that we would've never ever even looked at in our home countries. Now... Is it possible to have a conversation about the meaning of life or the reasons why locals are onion skinned with Filipinos? Not a chance... Very very emotional population with a hive mentality that keeps them in a hole. The Philippines was once the most prosperous nation in Asia (that's right. Ahead of China). Those days are long gone and it is reflected in the annual global education rankings (among the least performing nations in STEM and reading comprehension). Learn to hear things that go against what you like and believe. It will do you, and your kababayan, a great deal of good.

How old are you?
Ok I guess 1+1 = 11 for you
2- In English when one is on a vacation and or trip one doesnt say LEFT MOTHERLAND (u tried to express in a fancy way....and just got it wrong)
Quote you: ...""considering the reason he left his motherland
Yes it does sound the man left the country,...as oppose going away for vacation and or a trip
How the hell you know in any way?

You are the only one that thought it was a click bait title
In short 3 times you presumed, assumed wrongly and or expressed your self up side down
mmmmhhhh....I need to ask you again
WHERE ARE YOU FROM? Cavite? 😁😁
Chill out I am just playing around....I know where are you from
It was not a click bait, the guy I can assure you is an intelligent man (regardless not being politically correct), and he probably ''left'' Russia as his friends told him The Philippines is a blast....haha
My advantage is that i lived in more than 12 countries, speak 5 languages, multinational, and traveled around the world.....still learning big time....stop presuming

I prefer Ukranians over Russians, I’ve know some Ukranians in where I live and they’re nice and helpful to Filipinos.

@@williammaverick You’re describing the USA as well
Watch for them, ?surfers like me ,im a Australian went to bali in76 we looked after every body ,families etc we loved each other.we surfed taught the locals, everyone happy ,see what the Russians have got to offer apart from escape the war with rich parenting,?

He meant good but he chose the “wrong” word - and that’s understandable because of his limited skills in expressing himself in English.
Somehow true
Keyword here is "Some". Some doesn't necessarily mean all Filipinos for ffs.
Don't be naiv, he knows exactly what stupid means. He is a guest there and searched for safety and call people stupid, while comparing the "cold" Russia with the warm lifestyle on the Philippines😂 it's totally different..
I guess he ment himself stupid and in my opinion arrogant. He should be thankfull to stay there and don't insult the people's different lifestyle
So this man has a condescending view of Filipino people but he likes the environment.
He said Filipino are "generous,not aggressive, can sing" and more.
he described what he observed in a raw manner KUDOS FOR HIM...he was not politically correct like the bunch of sheeples and zombies around the world ....praise the man
Hail Putin!!!!!!😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Stupidity can be anywhere 😂

That his opinion, what’s the problem about that? Not every country are perfect? I visited some countries. There’s good there’s bad that’s my opinion. I have to say it.
Even I'm poor I'll adopt him he can eat rice it's ok no problem of what it pair in rice
Some people will pretend to be stupid but can scam you full on that makes you more stupid because you got tricked by the stupid one….

just forgive him, hard to think of what words used to be. 😂😂😂
