Hmm, very interesting. Thank you. Let's get down to brass tacks here though. Is your dishwasher working at maximum efficiency? Are your plates and cups clean? Does your house smell like cat? Please respond.
Dishwasher is pretty good TBH, its a Siemens which seems to be the best. As long as I keep clearing the filter and topping up the rinse aid it usually works.
It did get internally clogged and I had to strip and flush the whole thing
The outlet into the drain did also get clogged, I suspect thats why Jay wrote off his dishwasher but he would never admit it.
The last one was LG and nothing but trouble, parts breaking all the time.

I think the house does smell of cat, if I go away for a period I can just detect it when I get back.
Still better than dog or indian smell.

i haven't met anyone with low self-esteem. young korean women are impressive. they have to go through an absolute hell meat-grinder of an education system, compete for a tiny number of places at elite universities, deal with 1950s patriarchy and office culture in their working life ... and are at some point expected to ditch all of those efforts and become ultra-traditional baby-raisers.

i don't see myself settling down or starting a family with someone from another country. not on the agenda.

the idea that only people with low self-esteem date outside of their race is laughable. you do realise a huge number of koreans are educated abroad at ivy league schools and european institutions right? they're not hermetically sealed off from the rest of the world. they speak perfect english and are exposed to western culture. it's not an aberration to date outside of their ethnicity.

i think a guy who literally causes the girls he dates to cry and breakdown should probably refrain from punching down on women he's never met.

Please be careful with the low self esteem Korean women you deal with in Asia. (Only Asian women with low self-esteem would date outside of their race in Asia). Having a child with a girl you met on the opposite side of the world might feel like destiny but having a child to watch is no joke. Especially when the kid is only half your race/face.
And how does your dishwasher function?

Thank you for asking. It does really well. It is maybe 4 or 5 years old. As I noted earlier, I make sure to scrub everything off before it goes into the dishwasher. Putting a dirty dish in the dishwasher? Lazy.

I still find it bizarre that a successful Korean lady in Korea would decide to date down with an immigrant. If she was in the U.K. then that would be fine.

I have only made 2 women cry in the last year. Hardly a pattern. Patterns start at 3.

there are any number of reasons or motivations for people to date outside their immediate circles. why does this have to be explained to you? desire and attraction are justifications in-themselves, are they not? a person doesn't need to be mentally ill or suffer chronic self-esteem issues to date a person from another race. what a bizarre way of looking at the world.

maybe it's just simple curiosity? it doesn't have to be anything serious or psychologically freighted.

most korean men are super traditional and 'expect' the woman to marry and settle quickly. it's a 1950s housewife experience, in the main. is it surprising that many want to date non-koreans, even if only for a cultural holiday in their 20s, before the inevitable? and so what if they do?

i think you have issues with women bro!

You aren't in your 20's. You are in your 30's. You should be a dad by now. Maybe you and the girl are in the wrong and not 2500 years of Korean tradition.

I've had cats and dogs all my life. IMO cat smell is worse than dog smell, even wet dog smell. A plastic garbage can full of dog doo under the summer sun is more tolerable than a litter box full of damp almond rocas.

Objectively anyway, you don't want pets getting to the stage where they mark territory inside your home. Spay & neuter.

young koreans aren't having children, they're world leaders at it, in fact. i'm not upending 2500 years of tradition there

also it's not 'dating down'. koreans are very status conscious. education, job, background, etc, matter a lot. if i was an english teacher, they'd look at me as if i was a loser who is only abroad to avoid a real career. but ... i'm not an english teacher. i've been dating a woman from ewha, for instance, which is their most elite women's only university. super impressive individual who i have nothing but fearsome respect for – to succeed here is much tougher than in the west.

in short, i'm dating way above your calibre, macb. don't trot out 'self esteem issues' and some racist generalizations. i think that one is on you buddy!

you moderate a subreddit for an asian pornstar.

dilbert has been drooling over asians in picture threads on this forum for 15 years.

i've never expressed any proclivities or fascinations here in all my time. you can look and you won't find it.

i think you're both projecting and both have issues with women. it's self-evident.

So, this pandemic is still going on. Since things have begun opening up and now being fully vaccinated for a manner of months, it certainly feels like there's much more normalcy, but society in doesn't seem to be paying as much attention here anymore. I'll be interested in the responses if the variant rises cause more states to reimpose mask mandates or as school resumes.

LA has reinstated a mask mandate and it's already got people upset here, in OC, where there is no mask mandate.

The start of school is going to lead to so many infections. My friend who already had covid is completely fucking oblivious. His wife is a teacher, he has 1 school aged child and 2 others under 5, his grandpa died of covid, yet he and his wife won't get vaccinated "because we've already had it." Absolutely clueless

The real test is going to be when winter comes and the weather freezes people in the northeast back into the subways and buses. I suspect we will see a moderate spike then. I can see mask being mandatory for public transportation for awhile. That should be a normal practice anyway.

I believe what will most likely happen is that people will write off the dying from the winter spike because they will be unvaccinated republicans and inner city poor. Continue the reopening.

It surprises me that all districts haven't made vaccinations mandatory for school staff that have no medical excuse to not get them, regardless of what the CDC/director may be saying at any given time. Schools are a giant transmission vector. A wonderland for viruses and bacteria. People who want to get sick can just go hang out with relatives that have children.

Getting staff vaccinated is like one of the easiest things schools could do in the laundry list of making things safer for everyone involved. Don't need to remodel a building for ventilation, or arrange seating to comply with social distancing, or police mask-wearing, to go get your jabs.

Students are required in a lot of places to have a laundry list of vaccines for various diseases already, so why the double-standard.

School districts are beholden to local school boards. How the school boards are elected or appointed differs from place to place. The important thing is that many districts will not enforce mandatory vaccinations because the voters/taxpayers wouldn't want it. After all, vaccines cause contagious magnetism.

Then maybe the school boards should have less power, or be checked by a selection of people based on merit and expertise when it comes to PUBLIC HEALTH. My area's school board is on the current ballot. Apparently nobody knows anything about these guys, and I guess some of them haven't even submitted statements to the pamphlet. People will probably vote for them based on how much they like the sound of their name. Not the most reassuring thing.

Does your school have a decent government class? How many students there could even tell you what maybe a quarter of the positions on any given ballot actually do.

Most local taxes anywhere go to schools. Taxpayers have a right to decide how their taxes are spent. Parents have a right to decide what their children are taught using their tax money.

Er.

Ideally, parents should have limited input in this. What one family wants their kids to learn may not align with what another family wants. Some people who don't have kids at all still pay taxes for this stuff (though they benefit from a somewhat educated society). The Hitler-did-nothing-wrong camp shouldn't get to impose its views on public school curriculum any more than anti-vax parents should get to put everyone in danger because they read about a CHEMICAL on facebook.

Setting aside all of the state and federal government intervention into local education, if you get too top down with these people their reaction would be to tear down the education system for one and all. That's what happened in the south in regards to desegregation. Whites who could yank their kids out of public schools did and public schools suffered for it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segregation_academy

I could see these antivax, CRT, and transphobic (secret gays) people setting up private/scam/unqualified religious schools so that they can enroll their kids away from the SJW conspiracy to hook them up to 5G or whatever. SCOTUS will uphold it as religious liberty. Poor minority children in public schools who then get defunded? Oh well try explaining disparate impact to the courts.
