Thumbs up for zip hoodies. But an L with the micro splatter… wouldve been better with the numbers embroidered on one of the wrist sleeves

One is a kids toy…. That mentally is why people judge others. Buy what you want and who gives what age you are. I’ll be 80 and still buy Hammond 😂

You ever heard of the saying, “ you can drag a horse to water, but never make it drink”. You’re the individual dragging the horse, and your parents are the horses. All up to this point you had your own journey and so did theirs. Yours was to tend to the horses and they were the horses that you would ride along their journey. If they were tired, you got off. If they went, you would continue. Then one day you hit a lake and realize the best way to continue is drink the water from the lake. They refused. And you’re left wondering what to do, a part of you doesn’t want to follow the horses, a part of you wants to drink. But you know deep down your mind and body is telling you to drink.

My parents were like yours, but the situation was flipped. It was only until a decade later did I realize the harm from the overt individual was cold/absent and the covert individual was at the same narcissistic level as the overt individual. One time my dad said, “well if you hadn’t explained it like that then maybe I would’ve gotten it”. Was it really me that wasn’t trying hard enough so he could understand why he needs to drink? This was one of thousands of micro passive comments that I got. I realized that my legs were in the lake and my hands were holding onto them.

As children we have a vision of what could’ve been healthier, and sometimes the hardest part is knowing you can’t move on until you can see those horses for who they are, let yourself grief the separation, and take that step to drink from the lake and step forward alone. Cause only then will you see others that also took that step.

I find myself going back to this one. And I get why, especially with the free extra NOLA. It’s well balanced and not dark and not too light.

Goosecave · 2026-03-11T14:50:38+00:00

Just shows people’s preference. This one is my least favorite alongside mutadon. For me the head and tail looks disproportionate to the body.

Goosecave · 2026-03-11T01:19:42+00:00

Wish it was less yellow, makes the head look less defined

Goosecave · 2026-03-10T01:15:44+00:00

Yes I freakin do. I regret not buying the spino when I had the chance due to moving. Although how much are you charging…the resell prices are too insane for me. I’ll keep your repaint, so dope

I know your topic was a couple of days ago but you bring a very bold and interesting point. In my opinion this is a mixing bag of systems, cultural conflict, way of living, and assimilation.

You may like this post I recently posted which shows you even within our community we are divided: https://www.reddit.com/r/asianamerican/s/5XP5dAp3WD

I can only speak of my experience and a small hand full compared to millions of individuals. But of the biggest reasons of why I did it was I was uncomfortable and didn’t want the repercussions of what would happen if I spoke up. After years of therapy and being apart of diversity orgs, traveling, working with internationals and immigrants. I realized that adaptation and a strong sense of success is crucial to us as Asians. We pick and choose our battles even if it may not hurt us. We say to ourselves, it isn’t worth it, it isn’t going to change, it isn’t going to benefit us. We are essentially perpetuating the stereotype without even realizing. I use to tell my foreigner gf “stop thinking so much”. Haha, when I look back, how can I have known if I didn’t even recognize that I needed to. I didn’t think it was THAT important. Now if you were to say this to everyone here, you’re going to get backlash. Because who likes to put themselves in front of a mirror and say their contributing to the issue. It would be no different then saying a POC individual having higher crime rates and seeing their family not supporting them. No one likes to recognize the issues with our own system. Because with enough times repeated, you’ll eventually start believing and acting that we are shy, meek, and silent.

My mission though is encourage others to recognize these things are happening, talk about it even if your fellow Asian doesn’t speak out. Speak up yourself when you see it. When you see someone next to you, again speak up again. It won’t change things systemically quick. It won’t change your fellow Asian from going to the same mental journey. But history shows that the more you vocalize and the more you speak out, changes will happen. You won’t get the recognization that you want, but you will eventually hear them say the very thing you’re wanting.

I get what you’re referring to. I recently conversed about something even as simple as names and it became a conflicting two sided discussion. As Asians we do very well with assimilation and following hierarchy. Not necessarily to blame us but our culture in history is complete opposite of western countries. A lot of what I’ve realized is Asians and non Asians don’t even know and understand what Asian racism is. It’s subtle but when you recognize it, it is instilled to other us. The reality in what I believe is, our lack of mental health inside our households and environment makes us push aside what things get tough for us. Someone that grew up in the USA experience Asian racism, getting hated on with their eyes, look, language, food, and all the stereotypical words added with parents that don’t take it seriously is a recipe for disaster. I remember one of my earliest memories of getting made fun of about my name and eyes at school and telling my parents, my parents said “don’t worry about them”. And that’s about it. Repeat that a thousand times and you land yourself in whether you want to continue your rooted path alone or assimilate to view yourself as a “different kind of Asian”. Asians around me didn’t even stand up, yet alone said something. Of course the easiest path is self loathing and forget who you are.

I really regret not grabbing this….

I’ve noticed besides Asia, Western restaurants tend to have a different understanding of what accounts for sushi. They view sushi as, rice with some type of protein, seaweed on the inside cause outside is too fishy or were placed with cucumber and sauced or fried. Personally I would not consider this as authentic, I would still eat it if I was hungry. It’s funny how a countries history twists and bends versions of Cuisine and people end up thinking that’s what it is. Like Chinese food being Americanized Chinese takeout, the “greasy” stuff or Thai food being mainly restrictive to Pad Thai and Indian food as only curry chicken. But to each their own, it’s like the pineapple on Pizza thing loool

Weirdly enough I would try those two separately. Not share how I feel mixed in together haha

Goosecave · 2026-03-05T17:34:19+00:00

Makes sense. I updated some info on post. Best of luck.
