  (East) Asians are the most accepted race aside from white people. Not that racism against them doesn’t exist, but it seems that white people naturally gravitate towards them compared to other races

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where's all the intelligent discussion at?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Try connecting with academics. Just met an artist who’s a professor at a university and even though I’m not of the same educational level as her, we had a very nice chat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some folks insist they'll only listen to their doctors?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Usually a (competent) doctor knows you physically through examinations. It’s very personalized so I can see the justification

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't you all get tired of the constant negativity?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I live in a country with multiple problems right now, but I’ve grown to be aware that the more I actively look at negative commentary on the current situation (most are online given anonymity), the more I get into panic mode, which clouds my longterm thinking of trying to get into a better situation (whether it’s self-soothing, changing state policies by any measure, relocation, etc)

  Is this even real? lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you describe color to a person who has always been blind?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a book that helps describe colors to people who have never experienced color. It’s called The Black Book of Colors, and it incorporates a synesthesia-like experience to describe them.

  Same with me. Even when the room was brightly lit I would get anxious and would ask a parent to sleep with me just because I was alone, not being able to sleep.
