Man I can relate with both your experience in Japan and Thailand since I have had the priviledge to visit and experience both amazing countries! But when it comes to Japan, although at times I feel like a gaijin since I was born and raised in the States, because I am Japanese by blood I was never able to use the gaijin card, and always felt this pressure to assimilate and to not disturb the peace, and to constantly read the air when in Japan. It was honestly pretty difficult especially when I was in high school and college, whenever I would go to Japan to visit family, I just felt like I never could completely fit in. Nowadays, it doesn't bother me at all, I'm so much more confident and comfortable in my own skin so I proudly embrace being the Japanese American person that I am lol.
The easy going nature of the Thais was very contagious, and was may favorite part of being in Thailand! When I was staying at a hotel in Phuket, I had the opportunity to conversate with the owner and he told me, "Americans are too serious, and everything is about money this, money that.... Thais, we aren't that serious, we live more carefree, and sure money is important but even if we don't have money, we are happy."
When I lived in Spain, the laid back ness was similar to Thailand, but sometimes they were a bit too laid back compared to what I was used to given their working hours were so short and often workers wouldn't come back after their siesta break.
From England I definitely still use some of their lingo that I picked up such as "cheers" for thanks and "oh my days" for oh my goodness.

I don't know this sub-area very well, and esp not the methodology. My understanding wrt Big-5 (which is the best studied and most thoroughly validated, though there are a number of more modern extensions of it) was close to your account, but had a few steps flipped:
- Ask shit ton of questions
- Do a factor analysis / PCA variant
- Pick a number of factors that seems like the right number based on unexplained variance
- Figure out how different questions load on those factors
- Name them
But as you suggest, the magic is deciding how many types of things you want there to be. Wrt Big 5, you can make some reasonably interesting inferences based on neural primitives, so I think it's useful. Some clinicians make a lot of it.
That Jordan Peterson writing exercise that I posted about a couple months ago and can't find now for some reason (here's the website) is actually a quite good version of this -- before he became a culture war figure, JBP did a lot of very strong work in personality psychology. Highly recommended if you're into stuff like this, @cryotosensei.
This is a leaf sheep, a tiny sea slug that looks like a cartoon sheep. This amazing creature is one of the select few in the world that can use algae for photosynthesis. It gets its energy from the sun, just like plants. Astonishing!
You can get paid for doing coinjoins with joinmarket. I'd call it damn close to "risk-free". Only risk is hot wallet risk
Yea! I get to be the dissenting voice.
What you're observing is the right tail of the distribution. This is called "survivor bias".
Putting all your eggs in one basket is a high variance strategy, so both tails of the distribution are over represented by it: i.e. if you look at the people who lost the most money, they too put all their eggs in one basket.
Zero. I've drunk alcohol in the past, just to be social (honestly I usually just accepted a glass, and took a token sip a couple times).
With what I've read and seen about the brain dulling effects of alcohol, I don't even want to accept the token glass anymore. I need every single brain cell I have. Nothing to spare for alcohol to destroy. Not to mention the other negative effects.
And the most recent research (I believe) on red wine is that there's really zero benefit. Not that I trust most of this kind of research.
Interesting tip - if you want to find the other side of the story, just put the word "myth" in your search string. For example, search for:

I was introduced briefly to this concept by Matthew B. Crawford in [The Cost of Paying Attention]
(https://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/08/opinion/sunday/the-cost-of-paying-attention.html). He wrote a book on the idea, but I never got to it.
The gist of it if I remember correctly is that our attention is a scarce resource, and it is being hijacked by advertising in more Insidious ways than ever. We can't fill up our car with gas without being subjected to something like Entertainment Tonight on the pump.
My admittely flippant Idea that this has anything to do with parenting is that it takes a great deal of attention, and safeguarding and investing that attention into the family is a skill that may be taken for granted by some people who do it well, and a skill some families may benefit from adopting.
