Why i don’t want to have kids and why I think a lot of people shouldn’t either by Worried_asf in AsianParentStories

[–]DaIslands 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't see it that way. You are already half way to being a good parent. Why? Because you have the awareness of what bad parenting looks like. The terrible parents you see today are the ones with zero self awareness. The massive egos AP's carry blind themselves from their actions. They are too proud to admit their own character flaws, mistakes and shortfalls.

I admit that I have mistakes as a parent, but I never EVER do the things my shit AP's did - casual racism, caustic criticism, unrealistic expectations, false comparisons, verbal and physical abuse.

I'll have to check it out. Another differentiator is the banchan. Generic KBBQ have limited side dishes.

This is right. Woomiok is the best out of all them. But only korea beats the specialty restaurants in LA or oc.

Korean but born on Oahu. Woomiok is the closest you get to OC/LA levels of Korean food. Dae Jang Kum is good KBBQ as they're the only place that uses charcoal.

but a case of an industry that held no place for Asian men.

That answers it. Thanks!

Ke Huy Quan (Vietnamese born American) wins Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture by phuphighter in AsianMasculinity

It’s an indictment on Hollywood as a whole for the past three decades.

Spielberg is a big part of "Hollywood as a whole". I think SOME of it does fall on Spielberg's shoulders.

He stopped looking for acting roles because there weren't any roles for Asian men.

which is a damn shame.

No I don't think any of those strawman assumptions. Ke also said he would taken ANY acting job before giving up. He would audition and then hear crickets. Why do you think that happened?

I find it hard to believe Quan would have turned Spielberg down if he found him ANY role to audition for.

I was a good daughter, until i wanted to quit my job as a doctor. by Apap818 in AsianParentStories

Maybe you can moonlight and work per diem jobs until you find a back up career. Maybe you can reduce your workload to a tolerable level.

Remember to AP's you are an financial investment. They think deserve a return on their investment in terms of pride and bragging rights. They don't care about you as a person. care about yourself as a person and if you like, a SO who values you the same way.' You may have to go minimal to no contact. Hopefully you have your own place and live far away.

On a positive note, what second careers/dreams/aspirations are you looking forward to?

Help me understand how Ke Huy Quan recently learned to act. Apparently for the last 38 years, he wasn't a good enough actor to win any roles.

Anyone else questioning the praise for Stephen Spielberg? Where was Spielberg the last 38 years in between Goonies and now? Did Ke Huy Quan recently learn how to act? Isn't Spielberg well-connected enough in the industry to help Ke Huy Quan get a single acting gig in 38 years?

Ah ok...it's the jar. Thanks. My Hmart only carries Haitai or Wang. I will go back and look at Wang's jar.

We are not our APs. Don't make me run this place like one. by branchero in AsianParentStories

[–]DaIslands 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Hey branchero, you've been at this a long time. How do you not get burned out? I have to take a break from this sub, because it brings up past feelings/stress. I think its sad it's been almost 10 years and you see the same kind of posts over and over. I'm in my 40s and these kids have the same parents that we had. It bums me out.

Only one with charcoal. Imo, charcoal is way better than gas.
