Ugh this topic makes me feel gross. As if aging is a person's fault. She looks fine but the comments you all are making, complete reducing her worth to her looks, are just depressing. I'm so thankful I'm not an actress or anything in the public eye. Being hot is a double edged sword because when you inevitable age, people will dump on you like there's no tomorrow. This is also why I enjoy British media. They hire real looking people for tv.

I'm so sorry to hear that :(

Isn't one of the reasons Asians are a favorite minority for racists because they generally react to racism like your brother? "No big deal." Unlike black and hispanic people who have the "audacity" to get upset and complain about it.

Well when Asians fight back, they could get murdered brutally. Ever heard of Vincent Chin?

This post gave me some hope although it concerns me that you're only changing because you are half Asian and it was based on your own experiences. What would it take for a white person to change if they never suffer on the same level as a minority? Will they ever?

Oh no I'm sorry to hear that. I hope she feels better soon. Do you know which vaccine she got?

But you're right, most people who are anti the vaccine are also anti mask.

Actually I don't think that's the case. I think most anti-maskers are anti-vax, but not necessarily the other way around. It also depends on how you're defining anti vaxxer.

I don't think there's anything wrong with being hesitant about the vaccine for now. I am currently up to date on all my other vaccines.

But people nowadays don't know how to see anything in any other way except black and white. Since I'm hesitant about the COVID vaccine, I must be a crazy anti vaxxer!!

And as a result, those of us on the fence will not feel comfortable talking about it with anyone else.

so then how do you expect anything to get back to normal? if everyone followed your lead, we'd never hit herd immunity required to safely reopen. so the choices are we either live like this forever, or just say "fuck it" and accept the 550k deaths so far as just the cost of doing business?

anyone who desires a return to normal life but is unwilling to get the vaccine is being selfish because they expect everyone else to assume the risks they're unwilling to.

The biggest way to combating this is wearing a mask and social distancing. Vaccines are mostly needed for those who don't have a choice because of work, or because they need to have a social life. Look at the countries that succeeded in wearing masks and social distancing. They don't need a vaccine at this moment. In fact, they could have killed off COVID in their country if it weren't for stupid countries that didn't bother with masks and social distancing.

As long as you're not both anti vaccine AND anti mask, I don't think it's an issue.

My concern is with how long the COVID vaccine had been tested. Normally, vaccines are tested for more than a year. Look at all the controversy with Astra Seneca. Plus, the US has a bad reputation with pharmaceuticals and the medical industry's for-profit reputation so trust is a bit shaky for me.

I'm not opposed to taking a vaccine ever. I'm just not comfortable taking it now. I also have the luxury to wait since I'm working from home so it's not like I'm going out and being a super spreader. (No trips to Florida for me...)

They're obsessed with it because it gets them a lot of votes and helps then to create a common "enemy" that they can hate on while trying to act like victims.

"They're trying to kill babies."
"They're trying to brainwash our children into having sex."
"They're taking away our freedoms (to discriminate)."

For me, it's the fact that I have been to Asia and had amazing bubble tea there. When I moved back to the US, there was a lot of nostalgia for it since there weren't any around in the 90's. But starting in 2000, they started popping up. And they're getting better and better in terms of texture and quality.

As for why there are long lines, does that need to be asked? It's popular and people like it. It's like asking why there are long lines for new movies or in front of the Apple store.

literally made a topic about it when you could have more easily said nothing.

Haha ikr?

"I can't imagine anything less I care about than the Snyder cut."

You might want to try imagining harder then. Someone who truly cared the least wouldn't even bother to make a topic about it. I'm not a superheroes movie fan much so I'm not defending the Snyder cut or anything, but I did find the subject of this post really funny.

Congrats and praying you have a safe delivery! Yay for having a girl

Watched the whole interview and it was so good. Curious though. Did they say they were naming the baby Diana? I didn't remember seeing that. Maybe I missed it?
