No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is Winnie the Pooh considered "racist" now or are .ml folks using it as an excuse to defend Xi Jin Ping?
261·4 months agoOriginally it was just netizens comparing Xi to Pooh because they thought it was cute. But Xi has no sense of humor and banned the comparison. Now people use it to annoy CCP sympathizers. It’s not racist at all, the original intention of the comparison was good willed and innocent.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What determines whether people are likely to purposely (but mistakenly) put two words together (without a space)?

There’s definitely very low Asian-American solidarity. The worst bullying I experienced was from a group of Korean American kids in middle school. They would say terrible things to me and call me the c***k word. That hurt the most and I can never forget that experience. Once I hit puberty and grew bigger (I’m pretty muscular) no one messed with me anymore.
There were some mean kids of other races, but most people regardless of race (include Asians) are nice. I’ve been in the US for almost 40 years now and as an adult I’ve never experienced any direct racism towards me and I live in a red state (but in a big city). There are some people that didn’t feel pleasant to be around with, but luckily as an adult I can choose who to be with and who to avoid.

We really need some accountability from these insurance companies that wield so much power over the well-being of Americans.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why are people so antsy to see others in person?
121·2 years agoSame here. I am introverted and I hate social interactions. It drains me. BUT for me, after talking and meeting a person face-to-face a few times, all the rest of the online communication becomes a lot more smooth-sailing.
On top of Ryobi tools, when my Dyson cordless vac battery stopped holding a charge, I bought a Ryobi -> Dyson adapter, and now my Dyson vacuum also uses Ryobi batteries. Wife was really impressed with it because you can just swap out a new battery and keep on vacuuming. Also the vacuum actually make use of that battery way more than any of the actual power tools I have.

Interesting that the toilet bowl is called 馬桶 in Chinese. That first character is the character for horse… anyone know why?
