Dude's got that serial killer stare going on in that article picture.
i'm finding this joke too dark given the story.
but mannnnnn.... if a thread was made, i bet i'll find someone defending that murderer
Probably people shifting towards the mental illness because of the alien stuff

Yeah, I thought it was dark too, and a little too close for comfort for Era.
"He's just trying to be an ally because of Chinese patriarchal society. What, White people can only be allies based on your qualifications? That's racist."
Exactly. Saying that the guy is crazy basically disregards to social levers that made him target Asian men. There's something very sick about how men of color are portrayed and the type of propaganda that triggered this guy is an indictment on society.
lul omigod
edit: BBC has a bad history with covering Asian/East Asian topics. Their anti-Asian bigotry really shines through.
For some odd reason, because its the BBC, I never have the same "Goddamn you're racist." like I do with Fox News. Its always been more of a "Goddamn, can't quite shake the colonialism, can you?"
So meph and I went to the San Diego yesterday, and we were looking at something when the old (white) man next to us started talking to us. First, he asked us where we were from (I told him Orange County). So we just kinda kept looking at the animals and then he was like, where are your ancestors from? I was like.. uh, Taiwan.. AND THEN HE SAYS "NI HAO" AND I'M LIKE WTF IS THIS SERIOUSLY HAPPPENING RIGHT NOW.
So I just laugh and shrug and say my Chinese is very bad, and then he proceeds to tell me that there's a huge temple "right down the street" from Taiwan and tries to tell me about some Buddha statue and I'm just like, hahaha well I don't know much about that... and THEN HE TRIES TO TEACH ME MANDARIN (he says "the weather is nice today" and I just stare at him blankly and laugh and go, yeah sorry I don't know what that means my Chinese is awful.)
SERIOUSLY Y'ALL I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT WAS HAPPENING. That experience belongs in /r/thathappened, and jdsghsdkgjsdg I finally said, oh, let's go look at the next exhibit to meph and ran away and was like wtf.
No food pictures, but here I am being super basic and feeding the giraffe.
I know this post is so old but I just remembered it and maybe we could use a new one so...
Do a drinks one! boba, mango lassi, avocado smoothies, thai tea, matcha, actual tea, soju, etc :D

The real winner of the AFC playoffs is Broncos Fan's pettiness. Never has pettiness been rewarded so richly.

Hilarious and sad story. Should have pulled a prank on the guy by making him say something incredibly stupid or something.
Also, nothing basic about feeding animals. Species are going extinct left and right. Better appreciate while you still can.
UGH!!!

Mostly personal preference. I find their content to be shallow and of meh quality. Last I paid any attention to them, they were more of an aggregation site. I think they had a couple opinion columns that I just felt were very basic. To me they were like a niche, second rate Buzzfeed. I personally do not gain any insight or learn anything really new. And it could be an age thing complicating things, Netscape Navigator came out while I was in college, and already on my way earning to a degree in Asian-American studies, so I was already familiar with most of the concepts they were trying to reinforce/educate people on. I've also run into a lot of the Asian Masculinity types there, even less of a reason to interact.
If I was younger, and did not have an academic background in Asian-American issues, I would probably feel very differently about it. I would probably actually rely on it more, than my own newsfeed preferences and social media shares. I think the audience it was intended to serve, does not include me, and that's fine. I know that its not geared towards me.
I ate too much nam khao. I really am going to die for it.
Too many suspects to count.
