Topic | New Netflix documentary about Cleopatra being black |
Secret_Asian_Man 04/27/23 1:39:50 PM #102 | Black culture has a lot of things to claim but I don't think Cleopatra isn't one. Even if it turns out Cleopatra has some Egyptian lineage, pretty much no Egyptian identifies as Black. I actually used to work with immigrant from northern Africa and none I've worked with identify as Black or African American. Interestingly, many Moroccans identify as Caucasians. Blackness is a uniquely American concept born from the history, struggle, oppression of African descendants forced into the American colonies. Eve n Black Hispanics do not necessarily identify with Black Americans. |

Topic | Is it okay to lie if it prevents emotional harm to another? |
Secret_Asian_Man 04/11/23 8:18:03 PM #7 | That's why Buddhism doesn't have any religious commandment to never lie but instead, urges folks to aim for "Right Speech" which describes speak only with the right intentions. Whether it's withholding truth to spare unnecessary fear or going ahead to speak truthfully if it benefits the listener. It's not so much the action but the intended result. |

Secret_Asian_Man 03/31/23 1:36:25 PM #75 | I just think it's hilarious that people internalize what tool they use is somehow a core personal identity. Only folks who have no self-identity latch on to brand or platform. Imagine giving a shit about what brand refrigerator people use or whether they like Coca Cola or PC. |

Secret_Asian_Man 03/26/23 11:55:25 AM #4 | Even humans in remote villages don't need to brush their teeth and yet their teeth are clean and straight. As others mentioned, it's the excessive processed sugar and carbs in our modern diet. |
Topic | Discussion: Coffee vs Tea |
Secret_Asian_Man 03/26/23 11:51:19 AM #12 | Enderknight17 posted... Kinda always thirsty but rarely dehydrated. Idk, it's weird.You may want to get a blood test. Lots of conditions results in increased thirst. For me, I absolutely love tea. I might even be a tea snob. I enjoy coffee as well but tea wins hands down. I many order from different distributors for different types. White tea from Fujian, China, oolong tea from Chiayi, Taiwan, and green tea from Uji, Japan. |
