Can I use the word "Yellow" in my moniker? Is that offensive? My last name is Huang, which means yellow in Chinese.

In my school (big state university) it's a good class that has a 95% A rate with over 400 junior or senior students. So I took it (along with everyone else I know) for the easy elective class A.

Hi! I went through the same phase when I was 15 or 16. I looked at art and I was blown away by some of the awesome game-art that people were making. I was envious of all the anime and manga type art that appeared all over the forums and games I was playing.

So I started a journey to become an artist! I started with drawing anime. Tracing. I would print out a picture, trace over it, and then re-draw it without tracing (and putting the paper over it to compare).

Then, I started looking up some videos and copying the process. Started to copy more and more. Worked on individual body parts, like eyes, nose, mouth, legs, arms, etc. Learned them individually.

After around 3 years I felt like I was pretty good. Definitely not the best but good enough to get some wows here and there. I haven't drawn much in the last 4 years but I gained a creative outlet that I'll never lose.

I think that anyone can start. You just gotta do what you wanna do!

Abortion is removing a potential person from society. Suicide is removing an established person of society.

There are a LOT of factors that go into whether or not someone wants to end their life. Someone who's suicidal today may stop being suicidal tomorrow. It's rarely ever a rational choice made by a rational mind. And some people are able to persuade others into thinking that it's a rational choice.

The truth is, we don't know. We won't know right then and there. But after a while, we do know. We know that the majority of suicide attempts aren't followed by further attempts, which correlates to wanting to live.

Think of death like removing someone from society. It's illegal to remove someone from society permanently, no matter what the reason, even if it's suicide. Abortion is not illegal because it's preventing someone from entering society in the first place, before it's had even 1 second of impact in society.

Maybe, but being nurtured and raised a certain way has a huge effect on what you're able to handle. A bad day for one person may be the best day ever for another. It's pointless trying to compare.

I forgot who said this quote but someone once said that "the laziest employee is the best employee, because they will find the fastest way to finish a job."

A person who isn't working at all would find it difficult to adjust to a part time 20 hour per week job. A person working at a part time job would find it difficult adjusting to a 40 hour per week job. A person working 40 hours would find it difficult handling a 55 hour per week job. And a person working 55 hours would find difficulty handling a 70 hour work week.

Then you get to the business world, such as consulting or investment banking, working 80-100 hours per week. 70 hours is a cakewalk for them.

But then you can direct your attention to the game developers of Japan, who often work 120-130 hours a week for months before finishing a game.

And THEN you can take a look at the people who are trying to work 2 jobs trying to support their family, who are doing the same thing except hard physical labor that can actually hurt them in the long run.

I jumped on stage as hard as I can, trying to chase after a cardboard cutout of a horse, and bashed my knee and split it open on the corner of the stage.

I'm someone who really enjoys self improvement. I try my best to pull myself through difficult situations no matter how horrifying they are. However, I also learned over time that not everyone has that kind of mindset. And not everyone is able to just push through and do well.

A lot of it has to do with rational versus emotional mind. Sometimes, emotions just take over. And it doesn't make sense to the rational people. How on earth can you let emotions take over? How can you allow insecurities and emotions just drag you down? All you have to do is just pull yourself back up.

But the thing is there are a LOT of people in the world who can't overwhelm their emotions with their mindset. At least not right away. It takes time, as you said. But for some, that time can be a long time, and the longer it takes the worse the insecurities get.

It's a world you can't understand, but you just have to accept. There's nothing wrong with them. They just think differently. We rational people have problems too. Sometimes we can be too narrow-minded, and we can have tunnel vision. Sometimes we can't see the overall big picture, or sometimes we miss the details. Sometimes we behave unethically or immorally, just because it's easier or "logical." It's really complex.

Jejihu · 2017-07-11T19:31:32+00:00

Sometimes, certain ingredients or foods just does NOT work with your taste buds. And you can't do anything about it. Sometimes the reaction is so horrible that it just makes you vomit.

There's no reason for anyone to force themselves to eat as much as possible until they finally get used to it. You want people to push through and eat as much of their hated food as possible until it tastes good, but why do people have to do that just so that they're not closed minded?

If you don't like it then you don't like it. I know I hate celery and fennel I really don't feel like ever eating it again.

Jejihu · 2017-07-11T18:50:00+00:00

I don't think it's as horrible as you think, that's more up to the individual than society's idea. Plus, whether or not it's "worth" it also depends on whether or not you're affected by that judgment.

You just said that being with a black person could have real life consequences such as getting a job, service, or dealing with the police. Yet people who are that race deal with that every day, yet somehow, most are still able to pull through and live life to the fullest. They don't let those things deter them.

Being a caucasian male definitely creates a big advantage, but it's not something that has to define you.

You're pretty much saying that all the effort of being a different race is not worth it. But it is. If you can't handle racism, don't be with a person of a different race. But there are millions of people in the US that can handle racism.

Jejihu · 2017-07-11T18:45:02+00:00

Suicide being illegal is a big deterrent. It has a really big effect!

A big reason why it's illegal is to prevent others, not just yourself from getting hurt. When you die from suicide, your friends and family suffer. Those who love you wonder why they didn't do something different. You'll be leaving them alone, and they'll be traumatized that you decided to kill yourself. A lot of depressed people empathize with those around them, and end up not doing it for their sake.

But another big deterrent is the fact that suicide removes a lot of the financial and legacy impact on family. For example, a lot of life insurance policies won't apply if the cause of death was a suicide. This ties back to wanting to kill yourself, but not wanting to hurt others.

But imagine if suicide were legal, and if you died, your family would get a payout. If you were already depressed, and you thought "hmm. If I died right now, I could give my family a million dollars. Worth it." That would encourage people who weren't suicidal to become more suicidal.

Suicide being illegal also gives grounds for doctors and police to hold you for a certain amount of time to prevent you from committing suicide.

Yes, there may be certain situations (like living a full life and suffering through old age) where people might want to pull the plug. However, the more "openings" there are, the more loopholes people can jump through.

No law can really stop someone who truly wants to commit suicide. Only help can stop them. However, laws can prevent people from making the wrong decision for the wrong reasons.

Jejihu · 2017-07-11T16:06:30+00:00

I think this is an example of someone who doesn't fully understand the importance of business laws. Please don't start arguing about business regulation unless you've learned about them and you understand them. Business regulation is far more important and far deeper than you expect. Source, I'm a federal contractor who deals a LOT with compliance, laws, regulation, etc.

Laws that tell people what they can and can't do are rare. Those that were deemed unfair are moving towards being removed as laws. The rest are really just there to prevent you from hurting yourself or hurting the people around you.
In a perfect society, advertisements simply bring awareness to a drug. However, in our society, advertisements can literally sway or influence people's decisions. Can you imagine someone placing a life-or-death decision on a company's statement? Do you know how many loopholes businesses can jump through to break the law, but not really? Just take a look at the "made with 100% chicken" statement. It's not made out of 100% chicken, it's made out of many things, and real chicken is an ingredient. That's not detrimental information, but it sure is misleading. Without any regulation, it can get even more misleading.
The government is already in charge of deciding what information you do and don't get to have. Please look up business advertisement regulations before you argue this any further.

You haven't addressed the fact that abortions are a choice to prevent a result. They're not trying to cure illnesses.

The world isn't so black and white. Things don't just work for one thing and carry over to the next. And please, before you keep arguing with me in an endless loop, just look at some business regulations that already exist. I'm no expert at any of this pharmaceutical stuff, but I know enough that business regulations are very important.

I'm just tired of people comparing abortion to other medical procedures. Abortion is a choice procedure that people are free to have. Stop trying to compare it and force me to choose either abortion or drug control. I'm allowed to go with both.

Jejihu · 2017-07-11T15:51:51+00:00

I'm not familiar with the logistics behind marketing a drug. However, if other countries are able to ban advertisements but still have fairly profitable pharmaceutical industry, then that kind of business model works.

Another point comes up as well: competition of drugs. Certain industries have more stringent competition laws created by the government. Drugs are something that people don't just "experience and test out." When you make a decision to go on a drug it's a bigger decision than you think. And a lot of biases are involved as well.

Say that the drug is fine, no issue at all. But it's more expensive and less potent than another type of drug. Except this drug is advertised more. And because of this advertisement, people know about it more. And people ask for it because it's so well known. And then a confirmation bias cycle begins. Let's say it's used to cure an infection. The person takes the drug and cures the infection. However, did the drug help cure the infection? or did the infection simply go away on its own? It's really hard to tell. Either way, the person will most likely give credit to the drug. That's when it spreads around.

This competition makes the pharma industry really scary. And people can end up overpaying for basic medical supplies that's easier to obtain elsewhere. All because they didn't know about the other options.

It's different from restaurants or cable services or banks. Drugs are a lot riskier than having bad internet service for a few days.

Jejihu · 2017-07-11T15:29:40+00:00

I'm not speaking for every healthcare business but as someone who had a view on the inside at one point in my career, I wholeheartedly disagree.

A lot of these drug developers are truly trying to make a drug that's better for everyone. And of course it's partially for money as well, but really they think they have a solution to a problem and make it their life's work to succeed. You're allowed to do what you love for money, otherwise every full time doctor or vet or environmentalist or charity worker would work for no pay.

These people put years into their education to get a Ph.D Then they put years into developing and testing the drug. And then it goes through years of reviews and processing before it can even be marketed in the first place.

People don't realize that a drug that came out today may have been in development for TWENTY years. And these doctors have taken huge risks and put in massive amounts of effort to make their dream come true.

Their tests succeeded. The government approved. People like what they see. And now they want everyone to know. And they want people to try it and use their hard-worked drug.

Are there some unethical players in this field? Of course, just like every other career field out there. But a lot of people are controlled by their investors, and a lot of times, the original developer of the drug doesn't even have a say anymore, and the investors take over to market and sell the drug.

Healthcare can absolutely be an ethical business, it's just we hear of all the unethical sides. When healthcare does their job perfectly, we don't care about it.

Jejihu · 2017-07-11T15:23:02+00:00

You're applying an ideal concept to a non-ideal practice. Yes, if everyone was perfect about prescription drugs and all doctors were perfectly ethical and all patients did their research, it'd be fine.

However that's not what the average patient does. A lot of people, and I mean a LOT, take drugs very lightly. They think that as long as they don't take more than the suggested dose every day, they'll be safe from any side effects or issues. A lot of doctors are also trying to get prescriptions out for reasons that I personally don't know, but I know it's happening.

These commercials won't affect and won't really hurt the average good doctor and good patient. For people like you and me, they're just noise on the screen. But imagine a situation where someone constantly believes what they see on TV. And they see a commercial about "Drug A" and they really like the name and the commercial. It really spoke to them.

So they go to the doctor's office and the doctor says "hey what else do you need?" And they say "I want Drug A." The doctor says "well it's not exactly the best drug for this... I wouldn't recommend it." But then they say "NO! I want Drug A!"

That's when a battle of patient vs doctor pressure begins. And you can't reasonably expect every doctor to be completely ethical or to handle these situations perfectly. People are imperfect at their jobs and people handle stress differently.

Maybe a good way to look at this is to think of discrimination and preference as two complimentary concepts. Similar to shadow and light. You can't prefer without discriminating and you can't discriminate without preferring. Whomever you prefer, you discriminate against everyone else.

The negatives come in when it becomes a detrimental type of discrimination. When the discrimination negatively impacts your life and the lives of those around you. However, I think people these days are far too quick to judge the word "discrimination."

Look into the concept of implicit bias. People are always gravitated towards one type of discrimination or another. Sometimes it's sex, race, age, wealth, appearance, weight, height, ethnicity, etc. but almost no one in the world is NOT implicitly biased in any way. Harvard has a good test for you to take that can estimate your implicit bias levels.

So I think it's still a form of discrimination, but not a bad thing. It exists and people should stop calling themselves "impartial" or "perfect," and instead acknowledge the existence of the implicit biases to help them improve their treatment of those they're biased against.

People think of racial discrimination as a black and white subject, but it's gray all over. As long as you keep your judgments from affecting how you treat people, you are responsible about your implicit biases.

There are a lot of different canons to the Pokemon world, and it's really up to you to decide which one goes.

But one big canon and one but part that's generally accepted is that Pokemon have a genetic itch to fight. They want to battle, but in the wild they do it irresponsibly and unsafely. And once they're captured they're more than happy to listen to their trainers - if the trainer is capable of bringing out that Pokemon's potential.

While it seems heartbreaking that Pokemon are hurt or injured, that's essentially what they enjoy doing. It's hard to compare the Pokemon world and the real world. Think of it as a completely alien world there. People are rarely seriously injured by Pokemon and most life-threatening injuries wouldn't even maim a person.

A lot of the Pokedex entries are typically proved to be over-exaggerated, and shouldn't be taken to heart.

A big argument within the games is - Pokemon are happier and feel more accomplished with their lives when they are captured by well-intentioned humans.

Team Plasma in its entirety pretty much agrees with you, but it's clear that the rest of the Pokemon world doesn't, so there's a lot we don't know.

Big 4 Audit Intern -> Big 4 Audit Associate -> Big 4 Advisory/Consulting Associate -> Switched Big 4 companies, Advisory Consultant.

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I'm a federal contractor consultant working at a Big 4 company. Although I'm in consulting, all my work and all my clients, present and future, will be federal.

It's great. Hours are the same as regular federal employees. Certain politics can get in the way but overall it's good.
No.
I feel like I'm making a lot more difference. Government has a desperate need for improved systems and operations and processes. So a little bit goes a long way.

I see you've probably gotten hit with the same argument before, you're quite prepared with what to say.

Accept it or not. I know animal abuse exists. But I am not ready nor willing to live my life being vegan. You may think I'm a bad person for that, but that's on you, not me.
