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.

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.

Oh, I didn’t know that.

Lol

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

But if I’m being honest like 75% percent of what I listen to is sad. Lmk if anyone wants more.

Yeah, I’m a total Souls junkie. My favorite game ever was Bloodborne. I was on like NG+6 when I stopped playing it. That said, I never expect any game to come anywhere close to a Fromsoft Soulslike. There’s a reason they’re all called Soulslike, IMO; they can imitate, they can’t be a Souls game.

I bought it mainly because all my friends won’t stop giving me shit for not playing Fallen Order, and it does look interesting.

Tiny Tina’s Wonderland, Age of Mythology: Retold, Northgard, and Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order.

Hell yeah

“Prostagma?” brought back memories. I need to get the Retold edition.

That cat made me physically gag.

While you are picking up the cat, the vaccum eats the lettuce.

Genuinely curious: how can he? Does POTUS have control over the entire chain of command?

The generals will tell him no.

Met my current partner at work. The funny part is I had given up completely, after going on dates with enough people, but just not really connecting with any. My previous relationship was haunting me, and I carried a lot of damage from it. I just couldn’t overcome it, so, I gave up. Then, out of nowhere, this gorgeous, kind, bubbly, and incredibly intelligent girl just showed up in an IT orientation I was leading. We started talking eventually, and we’ve been together for 2 amazing years. I know it’s cliché, but sometimes you find what you’re looking for precisely when you’re not looking.

Before that I dated on apps, and I can confirm it was hell. It’s probably changed in the 3 odd years I was using them, but Bumble was by far the best app, at least in my area. On that app, it felt a lot more meaningful than Tinder or Hinge.

How has your dating life been, OP?

Ah, yes. Trypophobia pancakes.
