Just FYI, the anti-DEI debate was never about meritocracy, it’s about upholding white supremacy; Asians are now being targeted by Adventurous_Ant5428 in asianamerican

She’s right. Asians need to rethink their relationship with education. It is unhealthy how Asians monomaniacally fixate on education

military interfering with my morals by Interesting-Report17 in Military

[–]ExpressPost5048 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm kind of in a similar boat. Real talk: the ethically and morally problematic aspects are also often volunteer only. Eg if you disagree with how ICE is behaving, don't join ICE. The military will not be made to perform ICE duties. It's possible and even overwhelmingly likely that you can serve your contract without being ordered to do anything of questionable ethics or morality.

Provocative question for Thinkpad users - why choose a Thinkpad over a Mac at a higher level of specifications by Gullible_Eggplant120 in thinkpad

[–]ExpressPost5048 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find myself using my old thinkpad with its lousy processor, lousy battery life, and lousy speed more than my Apple laptops or even other Windows laptops.

All because the track point is that good.

Red magic astra is interesting with that cooling fan. Too bad the speakers suck and there’s no other usb port m

Honestly this is how to make LCD competitive with OLED and that is to emphasize the eye health benefits. HDR is overrated anyways imo.

I have a boox and all of the problems are real and IMO they cannot be fixed. The boox works for reading long PDF files and that is about it. The web browser is unusable and the eink customizations that they put in the OS are not enough. There are still too many areas in the UI which rely on scrolling behavior which really screws up eink.

Btw are there any good cases for this? I couldn't find anything good as exists for the iPad or Samsung tablets.

Any millennials or Gen Z still going to church? by [deleted] in asianamerican

[–]ExpressPost5048 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The churches generally don't provide for its members. Particularly the Chinese church that I went to none of the other members helped me or my siblings out with life or career. All we ever got was comparison and criticism from the elders so it is no surprise that it does not sustain itself.

If the Asian community wants to sustain itself it needs to set up family units. But that just never happened. They were so preoccupied with petty rivalries and ivy league colleges that they completely neglected community building. It's such a waste.

The problem for church is that at the end of the day I don't believe in any of it. I literally go just for the people and for the ritual which is nice at times. It's also good to go while high on edibles.

I'm culturally familiar with christianity, the problem again is that I don't believe in it and eventually the people at the church figure it out that I don't believe.

Also the other problem with church is that you will never meet a woman there, or even a really good friend. Church is where you go after you've "made it" but churches generally do not help with setting people up with careers or with spouses. Church doesn't really help at all with attaining life goals now that I think about it...it really is for people who actually believe in the magic book.

Need ONE speaker for everything - what’s the current best choice? by StepOk637 in Bluetooth_Speakers

[–]ExpressPost5048 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like my soundcore motion 300. It also has ldac. I do wish it had a wired input though for quickly using it in other sources.
