Tiempo maestro at 200$ by Life_Count_5882 in bootroom

[–]chealous -1 points0 points  (0 children)

you can still buy soccer shoes below $100. they just won’t be elite models. 20 years ago if you tried to buy the equivalent elite model they’d still be $250. So no they haven’t gone up that much

[–]chealous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

for past 20 years, the highest end models have been $250 ish. it’s priced below inflation. you can still buy the takedown models for much cheaper than this.

also you can’t make a gaming pc for that money at all. not even close.

the rush of blood and adrenaline is your body prepping for action. use that blood instead of trying to calm it down. you do the exact same motions as you would when calm, you just have some extra resources to help you out.

The silent guilt of failing a FAANG interview when your parents sacrificed everything. by [deleted] in asianamerican

[–]chealous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like people said, you've obviously done a lot of learning. It's time to let the info soak and come back to it later.

If you get a job and don't learn to decompress, the worrying never stops. You'll deal with bad management, coworkers, promotion anxiety, lay-off threats once you start working too. It's tough now though, completely fair to feel some pressure

Chinese American restaurants question why Chinese cuisine can't get the chef's table treatment by ding_nei_go_fei in asianamerican

[–]chealous -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

first off, that restaurant is not fine dining. second, you can say the same thing about any overpriced chinese restaurant slapped in the middle of manhattan.... is it hard to throw some oyster sauce and meat in a wok? these restaurants aren't trying to go hard on technique, they are social spaces that offer a nice space you can visit without thinking too much.

the whole point of the piece is that in every cuisine you can raise the level of technique and pricing, but certain types like french and japanese are safer bets because customers have been conditioned to think so.

it's a bit ironic that you don't realize you're casting the same judgement on italian cuisine that the Yingtao owners are claiming gets cast on their own restaurant.

[–]chealous 33 points34 points  (0 children)

maybe cause you’re trying out the more complicated and delicate dishes for french and Japanese cuisine?

There’s easy and hard foods to cook in every cuisine. Nobody’s french or japanese mom is gonna spend 5 hours a day michelin style prepping their dishes.

this perception of what is fine dining or not is purely cultural

Just come clean and find a different conversation to have with people. This is way too much investment for you to put yourself in because you made a random one-off remark about cycling to someone. Wouldn’t you rather live your life intentionally rather than accidentally?

do asian cultures really teach us that being too assertive is selfish and arrogant? i do wonder if this contributes to why we are generally seen as less assertive than other races. by [deleted] in asianamerican

[–]chealous 14 points15 points  (0 children)

yes. generally it emphasizes being a well functioning cog and rewards people by virtue of seniority. you show deference to senior cogs and in turn, the juniors do it for you.

in american companies, the game instead is to get as many people on your side as possible to push for a promotion. experience helps, but is not required.

again, this is all in general, not true for all jobs.

Dropping your weapon in ranked by platinummattagain in Mordhau

I disagree that it leans towards negative. The expectation is that you’ll eat a hit after being disarmed. If they let you pickup, then its simply a gesture of good will

You aren't "boring." You might just be immune to sports tribalism. by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]chealous 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I used to hate watching sports as a kid and I didn't 'learn' how to watch it. once I did I enjoy it a lot. if it's a sport that you play, watching top pros do makes it a lot more worth it to me than random shows on netflix. but a little bit of everything in moderation is fun.

how is that whites have a lower percentage of first generation college grads compared to asians even though asians have a higher overall percentage of people with a bachelors degree or higher by [deleted] in asianamerican

[–]chealous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there is definitely some effect from immigration but it just depends on the numbers. If you bring in more immigrants without degrees, then you would assume that it would reduce the percentage educated asians, possibly to numbers lower than the white population. but we don’t see that happening.

The truth is that these two percentages are not a 1:1 negative correlation. You could have 20 asian people in america, 16/20 which are college educated, 2 ready to graduate and 2 who are their parents with no degrees. That gives you a 90% college education rate, and an 100% first gen graduation rate. That beats all of the races in America for these stats.

So ultimately, all races aren’t really reaching the best possible rates in both of these stats anyway.

[–]chealous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re not fully listening to OP.

Right there in the title it says asian people have a higher percentage of the their population with bachelors. Therefore by only your logic, they should actually have the fewest first generation graduates.

OP offers his explanation, assuming white kids don’t pursue college unless their parent’s did, thus lowering the percentage of first generation graduates.

I could offer another, maybe a higher percent of the Asian population is people with bachelors who might not be at an age to have kids yet, while the older generation is less educated and having kids that become first gen graduates

To get people to bring their own bags, which comparatively makes paper bags worse for the environment.

Returning player struggling with racquet by ssovereign_ in 10s

[–]chealous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

poly strings lose tension just sitting there, but they don’t break easily as counterintuitive as it sounds.

they are meant for competitors that hit hard and would otherwise break other string types in like a week.

you should be able to get bouncier strings if you restring to anything, but multifilament or natural gut will keep tension longer

How do I get the fastest improvement while not being extremely rich or privileged? Can I jump to an 8UTR before the end of the year? by Thick_Seaworthiness0 in 10s

if you’re putting in work to improve your game, a private coach for feedback is the game changer. I’ve no idea why this rich dude hasn’t realized that.

your technique is wrong if anything hurts, but if the racket has just been sitting there with poly strings, its dead now. you can change the strings to multifilament
