We had a Thai exchange student while I was in high school.

She used skin whitening cream, and refused to talk to myself and my mother because we were the dark ones in the family.

So yeah, Asians can be insanely racist.

Thank you, Pudutr0n. And thanks for this thread! It’s kind of bittersweet to see that a lot of folks are struggling lately. I know my personal circle is. Together, we can pull through.

Been struggling with anxiety and OCD since around the holidays. Work got more toxic than it already was, so I started interviewing, which was stressful. I’m starting a new job Monday, and I have anxiety about it–imposter syndrome, I suppose. It’s essentially the same thing as I was doing, maybe with more responsibility, but a 50% pay increase. My biggest worry is I am going from no supervisor, making my own goals, and not working a strict 40 (less) to… who knows. It seems great, but I’m not sure if I’m ready for the level of effort, or the shock of going back to 40s.

My mental state is getting better as the date approaches, which is good, I just hope I can ride it out and settle into my new role. I’m starting Setraline today, at least.

Mountain house with a hot tub. Then I don’t even need a bug out location for the upcoming civil war 👍

Plus, I can get more animals and a bigger garden.

Lol

And then begins the real fun. The assassinations, the pipe bombings, etc. Americans won’t allow an invasion on Canada. Things will get incredibly ugly.

As a New Mexican, at this point, I’d be down.

Yeah, but how else do they get Colorado and New Mexico?

Oh, I didn’t know that.

Mini Metro is fantastic! Mini Motorways is somehow even better, although it is only available for the PC.

The executive team at my company was in shambles because no one was using the company intranet. So, they demanded that the company intranet be launched when a computer turns on. They were ecstatic that the numbers reached almost 100% in a day, even after being fully explained, and understanding, that the new traffic was, of course, not a real figure. All of the new numbers never went past the home page. Still, they patted themselves on the back, and partied.

So I guess what I’m getting to say is more people either wouldn’t care, or would even celebrate the fake data than one would think.

Well, of course. A president attempting to overthrow the government is a huge deal, you fetid fucking moron.

Yes. I took Mandarin for a while and would practice at my favorite Chinese restaurants in town with the staff. They all remarked on how they keep their tongue on the bottom of their mouth. One older woman actually said it went back to Confucianism, and how that was better for the electrical circuit of the body, or something.
