    Reading through your responses it seems you really dont give a fuck about actually having discussion. Your view is right and everyone else is wrong, because of the simple fact “racism bad”

    Theres no reason to ever redirect a racist phrase into something positive and completely seperated from its racist past, dispite the community at large already doing that. Words cannot change or evolve, and any word with even an inkling of negativity should be banned from ever being spoken (/s). I specifically called out that rice can be used in a racist and as a borderline slur, but that the modern useage of the word is painfully obviously removed from that connotation: considering the massive amount of people under this post also claiming they have never used, or even knew, the word could at all relate to degrading asians.

    Oh and since you’ve responded often rejecting opinions just because “its a white person claiming its not racist” let me ask you, how many Japanese people (since the old meaning of the word was specifically targeted at the japanese) do you know take genuine offence to the word? Because funnily enough my Japanese friends in the car scene love calling things riced out

    Calling the term “rice” in connection to focusing on aesthetics over preformance racist just seems insane to me. There are objectly racist uses of the word rice to harm Asians. However when 99% of the community never even correlated this useage of the word to anything derogatory twords asians, and even use it positivly when someone genuinely likes JDM or overbuilt cars, the word stops being racist

    You cant claim racist undertones to a word when people don’t corelate that word whatsoever to anything derogatory twords Asians. The modern use of the word spoke about a car that looked like a racecar but didn’t have the preformance of one, making it “ugly”, and then branched to become a positive term when talking about putting lots of efforts into the aesthetic of something

    The evolution of the word is not a moral failing but a redirection from a derogatory borderline slur to a word that captures the idea of “looks over preformance”



  • Cant say since I fucking hate milk lol. The staff did have meal suppliment drinks on hand for us. But after the initial not dying of an eating disorder calories wernt the importaint part, it was getting us to be able to eat “fear” foods without a breakdown. We had actual nutritionists there that actually broke down and taught us how food reacts in your body and actual science of needing energy from food

    I loved the staff there and my group but unfortunately the staff was temporary due to covid. I learn from a friend the place went back too being “therapist bullies you for being mentally ill and then your released being more scared of sugar” :'(

    Hey so the thing is like 99% of what people use the internet for can be self hosted (including AI), meaning we already have the means to it. Gen AI is also pretty fucking useless outside of a chat bot

    Also if you need facts on something you can, yknow, do what ypur supposed to do and check sources, authors, institutions, backgrounds of the funding, etc? These are things were supposed to be doing anyway for critical information and AI doesn’t change that into “welp guess everythings fake news.” People were lying on the internet long before AI
