Hello all!
Don't think I ever posted in this here thread yet!
I am here to represent first gen born in Canada 3/4 Vietnamese, 1/4 Chinese people who can only speak basic level Vietnamese and barely read any of it lol.
My momma learned to make mooncakes this year and I, of course, got to have some! So proud of her! 65 and still learning from the youtubes lol (unfortunately, her and my dad are falling down some sort of Vietnamese alt-Right Trumper hellhole too wtf).
Well, I guess I have to wait to see if this new mass in my colon is new cancer or just a thing. Lovely.
Thanks! I hope it's just an old man thing.
The House Oversight and Reform Committee on Monday launched an investigation into Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao over whether she is using her office to benefit herself and her family.
The investigation follows a series of reports alleging that Chao used her role in the Trump administration to boost Foremost Group, a shipping company founded by her father, and initially didn't divest from stock in a major construction company.
She is a career bureaucrat, current Secretary of Transportation, former Secretary of Labor. Taiwanese immigrant. Wife of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. Sells Taiwan out a lot to Chinese business and elite interests. Obscured large parts of her daily schedule as Transportation Secretary, which lead to suspicion of her influence peddling the Oval Office.
I don't think it's right to define a woman by whom she chooses to marry.
But, shit, man, when her husband is Mitch motherfucking McConnell, what the hell kind of person can look at that shit and love that?
To be clear, you're not going to wake up on your 30th birthday and suddenly be a different person.
Yeah, you aren't going to divorce Batman in your sleep. Sorry.

i've been listening to a lot of that Asian Not Asian podcast (something like 40 episodes at this point) and i'm delighted to say it's still really good. Check it out. Lot of great guests as well.
Will say it can lag behind slightly on, like, sexism somewhat for the obvious reason that the hosts are two asian dudes, but they do their best.
To be clear, you're not going to wake up on your 30th birthday and suddenly be a different person. It's just the accumulation of subtle changes over time such that, one day, as you look back at your 20s, that guy will feel like a different person.
One of these days, watching that isekai will pay off.yeah but sometimes you get that feeling like you could have better optimised your teens/20s
i'll save those sick strats for NG+
I once completely spaced out which exam room was my calculus final. I took a calculus final, just not the one I was supposed to take.handed in an assignment late for the first time, i'm a m e s s ; ^ ;
I started doing this more and more as undergrad and graduate studies went on, pushing my limits and caculating "how much of a grade drop can I get before I knock too much off my gpa" game. lolhanded in an assignment late for the first time, i'm a m e s s ; ^ ;
lol glad I'm not the only one then - I'm in my last year and have been crumbling work ethic wise. I managed to squeak out a couple A+'s last sem but I had to do an all nighter for the first time, now I'm straight up doing things late fk. You're right though, grades don't matter that much and at this point I should be looking at career options. Where did these past four years go aaaaaaaI started doing this more and more as undergrad and graduate studies went on, pushing my limits and caclulating "how much of a grade drop can I get before I knock too much off my gpa" game. lol
In the end, it doesn't even matter. You'll live! Just don't uhm.. get as bad as me haha. I handed in my thesis a month late and I think I was docked a few points or a letter grade (like A to A-) but whatever. :3
The last STEM class I took was in uni and it was a glorified high school stats paper. In hindsight I wish I didn't give up on math and the natural sciences during the later years of high school but it just wasn't stimulating for me compared to music or history.I once completely spaced out which exam room was my calculus final.

I still ended up with an B and vowed to never take a math class again. Actually, that was the last STEM class I would ever take.

WELL ASTROLOGICALLY--I think one of the reasons 30s>20s is because a lot of people have unreasonable expectations of themselves when they're younger and 30 is that mark people like to set as the deadline for all those achievements.
That stress in the 20s trying to achieve those lofty goals really effs you up.
Then come the 30s and while you "failed" your goals you realized "Hey, I'm in a pretty good place in my life so what if I'm not where I expected to be when I was younger, I was naive then. I should enjoy this".
