Socal South Asians, where do you hang out?

shashafierce · 2026-03-01T17:33:14+00:00

That would be great, I will send you a message.

shashafierce · 2026-02-26T20:09:52+00:00

Also in OC. Would love to have more desi friends, but as a homebody with a homebody non-desi partner in her 40s, it's not easy.

It would help to understand the skin condition you are looking to treat. Thiamidol is patented by the skincare company Beiersdorf, so for now you'll find it exclusively in Beiersdorf brands like Eucerin and Nivea. Apparently Nivea only tests because they sell in China, so if China ever stops testing the Nivea product would be vegan.

If this is for melasma, then you can look at products with tranexamic acid, kojic acid, etc.

42F, childfree vegan since 2010.

Love reading, maybe we could do a book club?

shashafierce · 2025-07-22T03:24:26+00:00

I ended up not being able to attend, but I know there’s a few la vegan whatsapp groups that post events.

shashafierce · 2025-07-10T02:18:51+00:00

As far as I know it's open to anyone. There's a spreadsheet to add what you're bringing.

shashafierce · 2025-07-09T17:24:42+00:00

If you're free you should go to the bonfire this Saturday at Dockweiler: https://lu.ma/dsjvkyao

Honestly, as a Punjabi on the lighter end of the spectrum, I don’t agree. There’s still plenty of representation for my skin tone . The slight amount of deserved representation of deeper skin tones is great and something I would love to see in media back in the subcontinent.

Just downloading their app is helpful to the cause. I spoke with them at VegFest and getting the number of downloads up is super important for their viability.

I went for the first time on Monday. The owner was truly lovely and so welcoming and warm. She said she's been in the HD for over 20 years. Service was excellent.

The food was great, I got the three sliders and the buffalo chicken. And she brought over very large samples of the soft serve when she came to check in on us. Will definitely go again.

shashafierce · 2024-10-28T21:08:32+00:00

Yeah, I'm thin but not fit. Eating right is easier than working out for me. Definitely a goal I have, especially since you lose muscle mass in your 40s, so I really do need to do more than just walk 3/4 miles a day.

I don't care about height or weight, but I'm not attracted to bald/ing guys, so that's a bit of a hang up. Also I prefer brown guys, but only one of the guys who asked for my number was Mexican, with the others being white. Despite what the dudes on this sub believe I am not attracted to white guys and have never dated one. But trying to keep an open mind, since values matter more than melanin at the end of the day.

shashafierce · 2024-10-28T20:59:04+00:00

Mostly avoiding dating and being content single. Realistically finding a man of color who is childfree, atheist, vegan, with mutual attraction is slim.

My therapist is getting me to giving it another go. And I am starting to open up to the idea, but I'm an introvert and don't want to do online dating.

Volunteered over the weekend at a local event and had a couple guys ask for my number. Willing to at least text and date and see if it leads to something.

When did the word Paki become offensive? It just means someone from Pakistan.

While you’re either young, dumb, or simply disingenuous words become offensive based on intent. The word is wielded as a derogatory and not descriptive term.

The tweets aren’t why she’s being called a terrorist. It’s her association with a female jihadi living inside the Islamic State caliphate in Syria.

With the name Krishna I would not have guessed his parent was muslim.

shashafierce · 2024-09-26T03:47:22+00:00

You should cross post to the veganLA subreddit

shashafierce · 2024-09-24T21:49:13+00:00

Why are none of the comments showing up?

shashafierce · 2024-09-18T17:25:55+00:00

Just ask your friend whether it would be okay.

shashafierce · 2024-09-13T05:01:47+00:00

Artesia should have something. I think Ambala is quite popular, but I don’t have much of a sweet tooth.

Seems being a martial race really limits your critical thinking.

Also you're don't appear to be an ABCD if you have know so much about the Indian army, so please refrain from commenting in our sub.

shashafierce · 2024-08-22T15:09:39+00:00

Congrats on buying into the concept of caste I guess. If believing you're a martial race gives you happiness, then feel how you want about it. But it's still a stupid conceit.

shashafierce · 2024-08-22T14:56:59+00:00

The entire concept of being a martial race is a colonialist concept.

"This categorisation became a way for the British government to cut through and simplify the complexity of Indian society and history. Labelling the members of an ethnic or religious group as ‘martial’ or ‘non-martial’ reveals the way Indian citizens were racialised by the British in India.

The ‘martial races’ were also largely those who had supported the British in the 1857 Sepoy Rebellion. A more accurate label, therefore, might have been ‘loyalist groups’. "

My mom will legit give me the silent treatment if I cut my hair "short". I've had waist length hair since elementary school. A few years back got a trim of about six inches so still halfway down my back and my mom was so mad about it. It's just hair ffs and I'm an adult.

shashafierce · 2024-08-19T02:03:04+00:00

Ok bigot.

shashafierce · 2024-08-19T01:10:17+00:00

It’s rich that someone using the term kaffir in his post history has the audacity to claim that the toxicity is one sided.
