I particularly hate the one where you're supposed to be in the right class but you somehow forgot where it is or what it is.

Yeah, what is up with all this astrology everywhere? I feel like it's something that died for most of my life and then really came back over the past couple years.
people got back into it ironically but irony suffered a critical existence failure and now you can't tell irony from reality and in many cases it doesnt really matter cos whoooo caaareessss
I made a list of goals for myself since 8th grade (probably earlier), and while none of them were strictly "before 30," I still got all of them. To be fair, they were not lofty goals at all. I wanted to be married to someone I loved, finish a graduate degree, and have a decent career. I was never the kind of person to have any unreasonable goals, haha. As far as my father was concerned, my one goal in life should have been to be married to a nice guy who would take care of me, SO....I exceeded his expectations apparently.
I still have more goals I want to accomplish in my life, but again, no firm age and nothing too crazy. I'm realistic :p.
Yes, this part is nicer, but I find I'm more careful with money now than I was in my 20s.
things they should teach in school they dont and you have to learn for yourself somehow*
*at least in Australia
- budgeting and other financial literacy things (especially large loans, tax, expenses etc)
- how insurance works esp health insurance (luckily here it just ticks along largely)
things they don't aim to teach but they accidentally teach by implication
- detecting racism inherent in the system
- how neoliberalism/capitalism fucks everybody basically

Man I wish they taught us about neoliberalism at our schools across the ditch in NZ lol, it's insane that most youth don't know we went from being super regulated to mass privatisation. I would have felt so betrayed had I been a Labour party voter at the time.
This area of study is only mandatory up to the second year of high school *and* it's mashed together as something called social studies - we don't even have civics!
oh yeah same tbh. but it's there! only just!
seriously though im still pissed i had to learn on my own how to budget effectively in my 20s. i had already frittered away like 2-3 years of fulltime income by them (not blown it on the pokies or something but still didn't really look into savings etc properly)

WTF. So despite having a rare name, I get people signing up for stuff with my email by accident all the time. These latest two are the weirdest I've seen though.
Are Fuckbook Philippines and xTonight Philippines real sites? The former even gave the password in plain text. I want to either disable the accounts or change the email.
I really don't want to start getting random dick pics in my inbox or whatever.

I met up with some people I haven't seen in over a decade. Having children ages you. Despite being the oldest by 5 years at least, everyone assumed I (childless) was the youngest.
One month until I'm done with undergrad studies and on a plane to New York v___v, I just finished a hellish 48 hours with a seminar followed by a test and an assignment - time to start planning! NYC Azn era pull up lol
Thanks for listening to my woes so far by the way peeps, I really appreciate it

For sure, dude. Having children creates a lot of stress which eats up a lot of energy. Not that I would know, but still, it seems like it's always the case that the parents are the most tired and older looking.
Hi, just lurking through from BCT. Just saw the moon cake post and had to say thanks. Did not know what they were called and always wanted to eat them again. Unfortunately it doesn't seem as any local store carries them.
They ain't? When I was living in Oslo I always bought two on Thursdays after work and workout was done. After that I was set and just went to bed.

They tend to be hyperseasonal as it's a delicacy that revolves around a specific Chinese holiday, so Asian supermarkets will carry them for a couple of weeks, and then they just vanish (even Costco sold them in Orange County this year). A few dedicated bakeries or stores will continue to stock them year-round, but it's pretty unusual, as most people don't buy or eat them outside of that specific holiday window.
Oh did not know that, thanks. Thought they were celebratory of sort but hey, I never needed an excuse to have something delicious.
Btw I'm I'm Sweden. The Asian population is minuscule at best here. Mostly south east Asian women. Just a FYI if you find it weird that I never encountered them again.
You found them before, so someone is making/selling them there. I'll assume there's an Asian supermarket of some kind in the largest cities, so just wait for "Mid Autumn Festival" 2020 and go to that store the week of the holiday, and you'll likely find it.
Don't thank me too much, they're basically 1000 calories apiece.
I can only eat about 1/8th or at most 1/4th of a mooncake at a time, anyway. That + tea is just sublime.
And make sure you get some with egg inside!

We have quite a few Asians in NYC ERA. We do meet ups often and get into silly antics all the time. Let us know when you're here.
Unsure. When I think of Koreaboos, I think of people who really dig kpop idols. Not Korean-Americans in our 40's still dressing in graphic tees and listening to old school hip hop playlists on Spotify.
Should movies starring Chinese characters be allowed? Should we ban the depiction of Chinese culture?
I'm bracing for the impending sinophobia towards Asian Americans. CCP is fucked up and deserve all this backlash but some of the "allies" ....just nah
You guys call them allies. I saw their true colors and I've been shitting on them since the birth of this forum.
History dont repeat but it rhymes
Haha I'm just joshing. Whats a graphic tee tho?
To me, just any shirt with a design/image on it. I was wearing my Stay Angry shirt, coincidentally.
