Yeah when I travel people think the street are paved with gold in the US and Japanese animators are famously progressive in comparison to their culture. Also the obvious weeaboo / otaku love affair so many have with Japanese media. I would say their racism is on a different level. Things they do would be extremely illegal in the US or Europe but are condoned there. I kinda get some of it because their culture has so many unwritten rules and it’s difficult even for immigrants who have been there for years to properly know them all. If people in the US behaved the same there would be mass protests.

Have you been anywhere? Racism is just a full on aspect of most places I’ve been west or not. Like anyone Asian whatsoever is just mchina or anyone white whatsoever from anywhere is mzungu and both get treated differently than wafrika. Same to locals, if you’re dealing with a hiring manager and you are in his tribe you’ll likely get the job, if you’re a different ethnicity then probably not.

Tldr if your good enough at engineering you can be as racist as you want to be unless you’re white.

This. Also the massive online love affair with Japan and anime sure does a lot to distract people from the less savoy aspects of Japan.

I’m not sure being aligned with the west means much while people are extremely critical in and outside western countries about racism.
- Comment on Cool Japan 🌸 1 day ago:
I think it’s more so that what looks like them being polite to most is meant as something extremely rude. Also not to mention the love affair most have with Japan online.

Japan, where racism doesn’t usually get the same criticism it does elsewhere for whatever reason…

Good shit, Although it seems you legitimately did something which is better. As always, can’t get a job? Hire yourself. Gotta work the system sometimes instead of just giving up. Also yeah soul proprietor doesn’t sound as fancy shmancy as CEO. They legit may not have been aware or understood you had the gumption to do something for yourself.
I would add in the modern context for people here to open a static website, have some social media account attached to the business with some content and that will really help with the legitimacy.

You can always get a job as a prison guard. Sidebar, you get a job that’s below you and then start a business on paper that’s doing something relevant to your degree field and you hire yourself. Then you put that shit on your resume, wham bam thank you mam, one year later and some interview preparation you got your pick of the litter.

There’s of course the everyday suggestions like exercise, diet, cutting out substances, getting out into nature. I was doing all of that but suffering from wild bouts of intense depression, gun in mouth type moments. It was like the harder I tried the harder it fought back to stay alive inside of me. I was really at the end of my rope, so tired of fighting, so afraid that no matter what it would never end. I even feared that death would not be a release (my favorite movie being wristcutters a Love story in which the punishment for suicide is you end up in a worse version of here).
What did it for me personally was a good mushroom trip and moving from where I was and what I was doing for work. Others have found success other ways and with far less intense choices. Sometimes something small can unravel that knot so to speak.
I swear I cried to the God I’m fairly sure doesn’t exist I ever thought about tossing the gift of life I was given. I was practically kissing the ground in gratitude like a sailor who had been lost at sea.
Now even bad or unpleasant things that happen internally or externally I can find acceptance and gratitude in. I hope for your own personal resolution with this.

Look again at that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every “superstar,” every “supreme leader,” every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there–on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.
Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.
It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we’ve ever known.

Depends on the person I think but as a general suggestion, nah. I think the intention of that statement is to be comfortable in your own skin and have a reasonable level of self confidence.

I was getting agoraphobia once, slowly crept into it by accident. It was so comfortable. I had to do a bit of exposure therapy mixed with heath work and meditation to dig myself out. Your path is likely different but that’s what did it for me.

Yup, problem is we apply this to everything from dating, culture, politics, religion, and so on. Obviously all the things I think are valid and obviously whoever doesn’t agree is somewhere between misguided and the spawn of Satan.

Some of the kinkiest people I’ve known were ace, particularly in the bdsm community. Of the people I’ve known they were very into kinky and physical acts but just not anything involving sucking or fucking. Since their sexuality didn’t involve genitalia they tended to be pansexual or rather attracted to people regardless of their sexuality. I feel like you see more people of that mindset in the bdsm and sensualist communities because a lot of the “sex acts” don’t involve penetration or interaction with genitalia.
