They’re about even. Offline, people can obviously tell I’m Asian so it doesn’t make much sense to say “I’m Asian”. On the internet, I prefer a certain level of anonymity so I just go with Asian.
It’s super diverse in my city. So identifying with my ethnicity is generally an easy way to connect with others. They don’t even have to share my ethnicity. People love to ice break on ethnicity and I don’t mind that as long as they’re not trying to be weird about it.
I am Asian. There are Japanese restaurants in my city run by white people and I don’t consider it cultural appropriation. Cultural acceptability is a wide spectrum.
Appreciate this very thoughtful mod response. It’s easy to get too wrapped up on yes/no answers when reality is far more fuzzy and complicated than that.
As an AAPI, I didn’t see anything more to this than a funny little nod to the people who actually prepare ethnic cuisines in countries not of their origin.
Thank you for sharing names. Easy blocks and reports. The irony was clearly lost with this guy and his concept of “compassion”.
I’m very much in favor of naming and shaming. I think the average person can figure out that more than one mysogynistic idiot exists. And it would be a great public service to know who to block.
Side question, are the typos intentional?
Dug up an old RPI 3 for the sole purpose of running a bulletproof sandbox for Claude Code. At 1 gb of RAM it’s a little slow but quite tolerable for running —dangerously-skip-permissions and one shot prompts.
Network isolated, Tailscale ACLs in, sudoless user created, and service account tokens setup with minimal permissions to GitHub. It should function almost exactly like Claude code remote. Excited to start testing it.
Heavy Foot by Mon Rovia for a folksy take on protest songs.
Thanks!
Doesn’t look like it has Plex support?
I could never get into Don’t Starve but Don’t Starve Together is a blast with friends and mods. The game’s old and developed enough at this point that I wouldn’t try to figure anything out on your own. Just look it up. You’re not gonna miss out on the “discovery”. The game is crushingly hard already.
It was frustrating to see Jasmine Crockett make the same mistakes as Kamala Harris in her campaign. Lots of “not that guy” and very little “why me”. Not once did I ever hear about Crockett’s policies in this entire election cycle. In contrast, every video of Talarico out there is him spitting bars about the same policies he has been fighting for for years.
Anyway, the battle is still ahead of us.
This kind of armchair take on human suffering will lead you down a dark path.
Have empathy for others.
Well that sucks I really do like the smell. But maybe I’m just crazy.
I see how it could be uncomfortable. From one internet stranger to another, I hope you know it’s appreciated. That kind of empathy already goes a long way. It might not come out that way but I see it from here.
Some real advice for situations where you’re not quite sure how to address the ethnicity topic: you could just ask if they grew up in <your city>. If they say no, they might tell you where they grew up. If not, let it pass. Not everyone wants to talk about where they grew up. 1st generation+ Asians can be all over the place on comfort with their identity.
Also, if the vibes aren’t there, they might just not want to talk. That’s fine too.
