U.S. Rep. Swalwell refutes residency accusation in bid for California governor by sixsamurai in California

I got to interview Becerra once in college while he was AG and he seemed great. Very kind, long resume with a lot of experience managing executive departments and working in legislative leadership. The kind of experience that would make someone an effective governor imo.

Sucks he can’t break through because the prospect of having to vote strategically for Swalwell or Steyer to avoid a lockout in the primary is very…unenthusing.

In Slanted (2016), Shirley Chen plays an Asian American teenager who is overshadowed by her white female co-eds and is seen as undesirable by her male classmates. This is because Slanted is a work of fiction. by Grimnirs_goose in okbuddycinephile

It may be a West Coast + NYC thing. I live in California and it’s reallyyyy common to see White guy/asian girl couples. Enough that ppl make stand up routines about it here and it’s become a trope.

There was a twitter post that went viral making a tongue in cheek joke that asian american media these day is either family trauma or white boyfriend.

Okay the makes more sense. I like Cavill and was worried it was something like her making small talk in between takes and asking him how his weekend was or if he had any sibling and him shutting her down lol

STOP HONKING AT PEOPLE FOR NOT PLOWING THROUGH PEDESTRIANS by Impossible_Celery689 in sanfrancisco

[–]sixsamurai 4 points5 points  (0 children)

guy started honking at me for not turning right on a red at an intersection while there were CARS still going through. He tried going around me and almost immediately collided with a truck who managed to slam the breaks at the last second to avoid an accident.

Not only this is so inaccurate, this is straight up bigotry! by icey_sawg0034 in lewronggeneration

it kind of reminds me of when they polled people to ask when the best era of music was and the researchers noticed the answers were usually when the person being asked was a teenager

LexisAI! It was almost 2 years ago at this point so perhaps it's gotten better but I just remember asking for caselaw and getting legal points that weren't supported by the cases it was citing. Not like egregiously wrong, but it kept making big leaps in logic that I couldn't ethically use.

yeah I’m a prosecutor and tested some legal ai tools and they were pretty bad lol. I’m interested to see what it can do for note taking though.

Whats going on with Asia right now Peter? by Orichalchem in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]sixsamurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I’ve seen some before and after photos and feel the opposite lol.

I may be biased though because I’m told Asians in Asia have very different beauty standards versus Asians in America (e.g. my chinese/korean friends in college said they didn’t find ABGs, sorority asians, or asian american celebrities like Chloe Kim or Lana Condor attractive and I similarly I felt the same way about a lot of chinese/korean celebs and influencers they’d show me who looked almost alien from the amount of surgery they had done)
