I got as far as "Gatorade bottles labelled in Mandarin" in the summary to know that it's shotty journalism lmao

I'm Canadian and yeah.... Even IRL a lot of people refuse to admit it.

I've been forced to educate people about the Chinese Head Tax and the 2 very distinct Chinese Exclusion Acts and how that on top of Yellow Peril still affects Chinese disapora today in government regulations including immigration and social programs, which is super traumatic as a Hong Kong diaspora who is also trans, queer, female-bodied, and neurodivergent.

Also, from the article:

Opposition to the voice seized on this ambiguity, adopting a campaign slogan of “if you don’t know, vote no”.

I know the Western world still isn't into it, but kids should be allowed to wear masks if they're sick or trying to prevent illness. Like they do in Asian countries.

Especially by the point they're in high school.

Not isolated at all. Black kids (especially girls) get targeted all the time. It's usually ignored or doesn't make the news.

Or the Japanese army during WWII.

I prefer Google Sheets over Excel but cannot tell you why.

Sounds like you don't have friends and you expect your partner to be your only source of emotional support. You should fix that before you try to be in a romantic relationship.

I used to go over to my friends and they would feed me. They weren't much better off than me but they could afford to get some extra ramen and KD.

Amen sibling.

I spent 10+ years trying to kill myself as a child because who I was was never accepted. By 17 I had an end (pun intended) goal to stop being alive at my 18th birthday.

I'm 35 now and literally have no idea what I'm doing with my life or any real goals because I never planned to be alive this long. I've been faking it since I passed my 18th birthday.

Rip pornhub

Actually, prop guns do exist and I'm not talking about the ones that shoot blanks.

Or have you never seen a cosplayer with a gun?

There are realistic looking prop guns that are built without a firing mechanism. Without, meaning it never existed in the design.
