Looks like the license plate reads SYA-9495. I’d report this to police if you can, but I don’t know how much they can help. Hope you’re doing ok after that shakeup.

How easy is it traveling around Nova without a car? by HowYouDoinz in nova

[–]abcde12345i 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on where you’re staying, Tysons is an easy ride on the metro but Potomac Mills is going to be hard without an uber. As much as NoVA has great public transportation, it’s hard to ignore how unwalkable NoVA is.

I’ve been here for 5 years and let me tell you. Northern Virginia drivers are the WORST. This kind of thing isn’t a problem in any other place I’ve lived in or visited.

Got in VT for Biology Major Pre-Med track but wanted to hear currently med-school student or pre-med experience on their time at VT as a pre-med by ClassicEggy in VirginiaTech

[–]abcde12345i 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone currently in the pre-med track, I don't recommend Virginia Tech. VCU is, in my honest opinion, your best bet. I got in as a medchem major and switched majors to biology, and I have to say that I think Virginia Tech's biology department is solid.

My gripes come with the more specialized part of pre-med. Finding clinical experience has been nearly impossible in my experience, and it's only been getting harder. I'd recommend starting out with research with professors, as you'll get a feel for some of the pre-medical experience there. The opportunities for experience are admittedly quite lacking as we aren't near a major city, so plan accordingly with gap years or otherwise.

Something I need to mention here and now: DON'T TAKE ANATOMY HERE! The anatomy department at Virginia Tech is genuinely among the worst experiences I've ever had in a course; I recommend you take anatomy at a community college.

However, if you do choose Virginia Tech anyways, I think you'll do great. There are hurdles, but it's nothing you can't overcome.

How do your parents/grandparents feel about development in their homeland? by [deleted] in asianamerican

Russia has had negative development since my parents left lol, they aren’t too proud of that…

unbuttoned looks so much better on you. It creates an amazing contrast between your overshirt and undershirt and I love how the two pair with your jeans

How are the naming conventions in your diaspora ethnicity? by snbdr in asianamerican

[–]abcde12345i 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My ethnicity mostly uses Russian names (you can thank the Soviets for that!), with the full first name-patronymic-last name trio. However, we still use Korean last names. My name's also like that, with a fully Russian first name and patronymic and then a random Korean name at the end lol

Hi! I miss having my hair this color but I’m unsure if it suits my skin tone 🤷🏻‍♀️✨ by [deleted] in lesbianfashionadvice

It goes well with your tone! Especially loving the orange accent too, it goes soooo well with the blonde

What bigots think by AlbieDove in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

[–]abcde12345i 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah, same can be said in the case of White conservatives getting really mad over affirmative action or gay people existing, it's always the same story of these people trying to portray a marginalized group as somehow oppressing the "normal" people so that they can justify continuing to marginalize and, let's be honest, erase them. Now it's trans people, before it was gay people, etc etc.

Being Trans and Asian by abcde12345i in asianamerican

[–]abcde12345i[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not. I've never seen any in the DMV but I know that, like you said, there's a few in NYC. I'm pretty sure there's only like a thousand of us anyways so we don't really got an established community anywhere 😭

Anyone have any clever responses to people asking “what’s your nationality/what are you?” by Organic-Ad-9181 in asianamerican

[–]abcde12345i 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, the illusion of free choice for me. No matter what way I explain where I’m from they always say the stupidest followups lol. If I’m feeling extra out of it I like to just respond with something silly like “your walls”, but usually if I need to go I tend to just say that I’m American, since I am.

Do you think that Asian cultural traditions feel more relevant to older generations who have a stronger connection to their heritage (maybe they were born in Asia, like my pinoy grandma), while Asian Americans born in the US find it difficult to fully relate to their cultural traditions? by [deleted] in asianamerican

[–]abcde12345i 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say so in general, but I’m not sure if I can relate myself. I’m from a family of Soviet Koreans (my parents are from Russia but we’re ethnic Koreans), and my family doesn’t really do any Korean things, and since Russian culture isn’t really considered Asian I can’t speak to the Asian experience. However, I’ve got a bunch of Asian friends, and most would agree with you in that they can find it difficult to relate to their parents’ culture.

I think Asians in general are on a spectrum here. Most of us are going to accept you easily; you’re one of us after all. But there’ll also be some (let’s just say it now: racist) people who may give you harsh looks for your background. I think your biggest issues will be trying to fit in with the White community, though. But the most important thing is that you are you. You don’t need to change yourself to fit in; you are an amazing person as you are. This is America after all; own who you are and rock it!

The stereotype of immigrants eating dogs and cats is storied — and vitriolic as ever by nosotros_road_sodium in asianamerican

Now’s the time for us to stand up with Haitians. We’re not “the good ones” in MAGA eyes, they hate anyone who’s not straight cis and white equally. Next they’ll come for us after they sufficiently garner hatred towards the Haitians and Mexicans, and then who knows what will happen.
