You’re taking incredible steps. I wish you the best in them. I’m sorry you’ve been hurting like this, you’re doing Basil great in your efforts to get his human better.

Idk if this will help but I heard someone say that our god can be the highest version of our own self. That resonated with me.

If someones saying there’s an omnipotent god that’d be reasonable of you to think

Left tower looks like wings. Pretty architecture that looks like taking steps up into flight.

What’s the left image of? Who’s the guy standing up? Whose among him?

Now that I drink plant milks I can’t stand a plain cup of dairy milk. To think that, when I was a kid, an authority figure tried to make me drink 3 whole-ass cups a DAY. The douche made me feel like a bad kid for not doing it.

Great help. They do more gardening with my plants than me.

What drug laws?

And China has been proven right over the last 15 years about the absolute chaos western internet could bring to a country.

Like what? Are there some main examples you can immediately think of? Do you mean a bunch of conspiracies being passed off as real news?

What dumbass chose the word “dual” for being loyal to only one country? I thought it’d mean loyalty to two countries at once.

Damn. Now I have even more reason to root for Jewish people. Thank you for telling me all this.

What exactly is dual loyalty?

Zionism has an interest in making the rest of the world unsafe for Jews

How so? I’m reading the rest of the comments. Is there anything you want to add?

I thought this was from the story of the Golem.

That’s an idea. But I have to face the slavery version of the word master being said, or else I’ll remain too sensitive. Idk how to turn that into a non-gross sounding mix.

“Sifu” sounds SO much better. I like the word. I’ll try and see Master Jang as “Korean Sifu Jang”

Martial arts movies would be fun. Last one I watched was Ip Man.

It felt fine to hear “Master Oogway” in the animation Kungfu Panda because he had a highly exaggerated sifu aesthetic and voice to him. He was undeniably a sifu.

Any sources saying why he landed in jail for posting on Instagram? I was an apolitical lib when I saw his Instagram video where he wouldn’t open the door for Chinese cops and they came in anyways. All in Chinese so I had no idea why.

Happy birthday Bailey! I patiently watched this photo load like it was printing from a fax machine.

I have other priorities higher than a completely plant based diet change. I might do it one day, for now I’ve just reduced my meat consumption. And I didn’t say you can’t criticize it.

Idk, but I love watching a YouTube channel called Little Chinese Everywhere. By a Chinese woman who is on her way to making videos of every single province in China. She goes into homes of locals like every episode. Asks them about life there. Sometimes multiple homes. Crazy levels of hospitality in many total strangers. I’m American and it made my bf cry because we deeply feel like these are our people. Maybe her channel will inspire your choice making. It certainly makes me want to move to China.

I had trouble thinking of what to say because there are dynasties in my ethnicity’s culture. With many cultural traditions centered around the dynasties and the concept of money. My parents are immigrants and my childhood was filled with cultural practices. If I were to say my culture is worth more than a chain restaurant, I’d believe it.

But the question stands: Where does the hegemonic culture begin and end? What is the answer when capitalism existed in the making of my ethnicity’s culture? Where does one end, and another begins?
