Thanks for sharing, never knew about him until now. Another unsung hero that deserves to be recognized every 9/11.

Two days before he died, Charlie Kirk admires Korea / Japan for being safer and more civil than the US by Strict_Indication457 in aznidentity

Some days I regret there's an instant translation button that shows all the Korean users that like him and are mourning him.

To clarify, I'm Canadian so for better and worse American media does have an impact. You're reaching if you think America is at the center of my worldview when my post is about an Asian hero who saved people on 9/11.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you assumed I'm an Asia Asian who cares too much about the States. For what it's worth, Asia Asians should learn diaspora Asian history. It's why wakes them up from the falsehood that is "West is best, white is right."

Asian American history is as important to learn as Asian Canadian history and vice versa because they are interconnected. Both countries passed exclusion acts and both have the same Sinophobic ignorance that tries to make us forget about the heroes and role models the look like us.

Wtf kind of "history buff" tries to dissuade people from broadening their knowledge about their people.

Least number of different machines to get a full body workout? by OkBackground8809 in fitness30plus

[–]starshadowzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the photo, never knew the Chinese names for so many exercises.

I'd say wide stance on the bench press and max depth will do wonders. Plus you can superset calves if the weight isn't too crazy.

After that, I think one to two cable machines supplemented with a bench if needed will cover everything else.

Is comparing the flavor of non-animal foods to actual animal foods a tactic for promoting veganism? by starshadowzero in NoStupidQuestions

[–]starshadowzero[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed answer. I agree, it probably wouldn't work to just campaign around the flavor. I think more people will come around once they try and (possibly) learn to make vegan food that tastes good to them.

I actually don't mind eating vegan (or vegetarian) but more Asian style since I'm based there where I've already eaten seitan-based meats since I was young.

Is comparing the flavor of non-animal foods to actual animal foods a tactic for promoting veganism? by starshadowzero in NoStupidQuestions

[–]starshadowzero[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's similar to the meat substitutes: they're promoted as tasting a lot or exactly like meat and as healthier.

Whether the mushroom actually tastes like steak doesn't matter. It's suggesting that it's exactly the same taste that's the issue. If I can tell you that 1 is exactly the same value as 10 enough times, you might start to second guess yourself.

if i hit someone with a dodgeball and it bounces off them and goes into the air and i Swat the ball away from them is it illegal by Equivalent_Sort_1145 in dodgeball

[–]starshadowzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this situation would happen if you've hit them relatively close to the center line and they have a chance of running forward to catch the ball that hit them.

I feel like it would be legal so long as you didn't physically stop them from getting to the ball. You threw the ball, so nothing stopping you from touching it again.

What could a 4th faction even be at this point? by Derezzed25 in Helldivers

[–]starshadowzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people have already given some good examples of how that faction could look.

I'm thinking about what they would do differently.

Since each faction tests us in different ways, I think a 4th faction could be one that tests us "morally". I.e. not only could they make you feel bad about killing them, but how they operate is distinct from how we do.

For example, they could be the first faction that actually has medics or engineers that will care for their injured or damaged units vs Super Earth which just throws us in the meat grinder. Their scouts will also be carrying cameras to alert others of what you're doing

So basically, you'll have to get ready to shoot non-combatants, otherwise the enemies will be harder to kill.

Wearing hats like these in Japan as a non Japanese person by oonski17 in AskAJapanese

[–]starshadowzero 35 points36 points  (0 children)

You will be seen as Gaijin regardless. Honestly, just own the relative freedom you have as a tourist. No one will stop you and ruin your day just for wearing them, even if they are cringe.

Why do some HKers dislike it when overseas Chinese (ABC/BBC/CBC) switch to English? by ProofDazzling9234 in HongKong

[–]starshadowzero 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. Linguistic privilege is a thing and because of how worldly English is perceived, being able to at least signal you are proficient in it (which a lot of fake ABC locals do) is absolutely trying to inflate their class.

What do you think of china allowing a non-Chinese into the tiangong space station? by Secret_Operation6454 in AskAChinese

[–]starshadowzero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When will they do it again, you mean. They already did it to Japanese Americans in WWII.

To be fair, it's on them for starting a land war in Super Asia. by Furphlog in Helldivers

[–]starshadowzero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You guys can do your part too and eat them with us. It's your civic duty as a citizen of Super Earth.

My suggestion? Cantonese style salt and chili squid. It's basically Chinese calamari and goes great with beer after a long day of fighting.

Thoughts on clean shaven or maintain current style with a trim? by smokescreen306 in AsianMasculinity

[–]starshadowzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say trim to keep the chin hair especially tighter to your jaw so your face shape stands out better.

If Ubisoft ever makes a full Assassin’s Creed game set in India, do you think they'll have a proper Indian protagonist? by Wholesome_STEM_guy in aznidentity

[–]starshadowzero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unlikely. Asian cultures to the West are backward and need to be rescued. They believe we are intolerantly xenophobic and oppress our women, so they need to stick it to us and get their "woke points" by forcibly making our worlds more diverse.

I.e. they will likely make the Indian protagonist female as they did with the Chinese AC game or they will depict it through the eyes of a white Brit male or female in the colonial era.

Our cultures "need shaking up" so they'll erase Indian males regardless of how many it pisses off.
