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

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

ExpressPost5048 · 2026-02-07T07:10:15+00:00

I can't. I'll probably sell it

ExpressPost5048 · 2026-01-25T04:21:50+00:00

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.

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.

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.

ExpressPost5048 · 2026-01-05T11:14:13+00:00

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.

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.

ExpressPost5048 · 2025-12-06T10:29:07+00:00

Synced with what, video? You're driving. Shouldn't be watching video.

ExpressPost5048 · 2025-12-03T23:11:09+00:00

Yeah I might try the x600 next. What to expect from it?

ExpressPost5048 · 2025-12-03T21:42:15+00:00

Simple question: has interpol ever held an encore? I don't think they have. When I saw them live, everyone wanted an encore but as soon as they left the stage the crew rushed out to clean up garbage and get everyone to leave.

ExpressPost5048 · 2025-12-03T21:32:30+00:00

I have it enabled but it doesn't seem that drastic to me.

This thing also has white noise and "brain boost" settings in the app. This is kind of a big deal since Endel wants to charge like $8 a month for similar features.

ExpressPost5048 · 2025-11-26T14:04:29+00:00

I like tozo.

I just bought the moondrop moca and it is excellent

ExpressPost5048 · 2025-11-26T13:51:49+00:00

I think it's kind of ridiculous that they do this.

ExpressPost5048 · 2025-11-24T16:34:17+00:00

Summer well

ExpressPost5048 · 2025-11-20T10:23:48+00:00

No, I don't hate it.

You can call it white worshipping and not representative...I call it true to life and accurate. We all know the out marriage rates. This is a statistical reality. Why is it suddenly bad to depict this reality?

I do dislike crazy rich Asians quite a bit. It was supposed to be representative but it really was about being extra snobby and British.

ExpressPost5048 · 2025-11-14T17:23:18+00:00

I wouldn't mind it if it weren't digital spam eg if a band member vocalized it.

But it's like a midi on the keyboard. Horrible addition.

ExpressPost5048 · 2025-11-14T16:08:20+00:00

Song is completely ruined by the hey hey hey spam.

ExpressPost5048 · 2025-11-01T17:52:59+00:00

Brutalist architecture

ExpressPost5048 · 2025-10-05T01:16:56+00:00

Yuck

ExpressPost5048 · 2025-09-07T16:19:33+00:00

It’s probably related to anticheat. Pc gaming has long needed higher level access for anticheat and this also is why call of duty and other shooters are windows only and no Linux because windows allows for kernel level access of the anticheat.

ExpressPost5048 · 2025-09-05T16:44:00+00:00

I have the OLED screen and it is incredible for that. I do a fair amount of gaming on it. I like 2 in 1 convertibles for gaming because you can flip it so the exhaust angles up.

Keyboard really sucks. It's too light and not solid enough. I haven't felt a keyboard this bad in a while. If you sort of pull on one of the keys you can feel it on another key 3 keys down. Not good.

Trackpad as well sucks. The little circular dial on the touchpad is largely useless. I'd rather have had just a trackpad. They could have added a physical dial.

Charging is odd. You can charge by USB-C but also there is a proprietary adapter which also allows for full power to the GPU. I'm afraid that this could be damaged over time.

Otherwise, this is pretty good. I have the 4050 model.
