    But why do you need to assume the racial mix to begin with?

    racial makeup is the result of A. my experience B. my friend group C. her living in Australia where there are asian immigrants but is also one of the higher alcohol consumption countries per capita.

    and honestly, I didnt know I was asian until she flipped her shit I clicked on her blog link.

    this, based on your previous posts, tells me that since you think Australians are alcoholics to the extent that anyone living in Australia being okay with NOT drinking must therefore have a high chance of being Asian

    congrats, you're a double-racist

    How dare i use statistics to induce reasoning.

    Hahahaha. Wow. This reasoning is so messed up. People are not statistics. Statistics are statistics. You cannot make inferences on the individual based on statistics.

    It's like saying that because statistically there are more black people in prison, if you are black then you are more likely to be a criminal. Which such a racist way of thinking.

    I got my reasoning induced ten days early. It was becoming unwieldy.

    Here let me demonstrate this flawed logic in a different way.

    Moldova has the highest rate of alcoholic consumption in the world. This is a statistic.

    Moldovans are alcoholics. This is a racist assumption.

    No.

    They're alcoholics and are mostly friends with Asians.

  • VivixenneVivixenne Remember your training, and we'll get through this just fine. Registered User regular
    well no they're alcoholics and only the Asians living in Moldova would be okay with it if you said you didn't want to drink

    ANYWAY we went on our first bike ride together yesterday and we didn't make it far because I was terrified about falling off the bike and/or looking like an idiot and/or cars going past me and me accidentally falling and then getting hit by said cars

    but I DID feel more comfortable toward the end of the ride and I wanna do this at least twice a week and try to go further every time

    plus Blake was super supportive the whole time

    Mrt there are a lot of American Spanish people in the usa as I understand it.

    I'm assuming you are racist against them, because your social group should be most American Spanish not mostly Asian like you said earlier.

    are there many bike paths in perth? much less nerve-wracking plus if you fall you'll probably hit grass or dirt, not asphalt.

    man screw cycling on main roads. I cycle all the time and I still much prefer being off the streets whenever possible.

    is it kinda wrong that i really really want my trainer to just make me an honest to goodness meal plan and say 'stick to this. do not vary.' as opposed to just giving me guidelines?

    i might ask him to do that after he gets back from sevens this weekend.

    after about 500 metres on the road I basically got off my bike and was all "I am not getting back on this thing until we get on a bike path"

    there was also a bridge that has a really sharp and narrow bump right at the top of it (one that you can feel even in a car) and I was absolutely terrified at the prospect of riding my bike over it, possibly falling, and falling either into the railing or over it and onto the train tracks below

    even as I walked my bike over the bridge, with the wind blowing and the bridge barriers looking rickety as shit I was all OHGODOHGODOHGODOHGOD

    but I survived

    soon I will make that bridge my bitch

    I put spiked tires on my bike this winter so I can ride around in the snow and on the crazy slippery ice. I fell a bunch of times at first, because I had to learn that braking on an ice covered downward slope is not a thing that can be done. The trick is to keep the wheels spinning at all times. That's the only time you're safe.

    Fuck off and die.

    so i decided to be silly the other day and I took a photo of me in my outfit that i wore to the job interview.

    It's hard to really tell because I had set the camera up on the ironing board, resting on a book. so it's not the best timed or greatest shot.

    Which is why I usually don't smile in photos.

    This sometimes causes me to be in trouble when people actually want a photo of me.

    I usually overcompensate with a "look I'm totally being wacky and smiling too much" smile and just look like a pleb

    @Vivixenne what kind of bike do you have? MTB or road or hybrid?

    In weight loss and exercise news, again, work is preventing me from even going to the gym but I ate healthy yesterday after this weekend of doom
    Also my knee is still bothering me a ton, we're almost at 3 years since the injury, sigh...

    The only people I've encountered that do this kind of "fake self-photo smile" are weak people. All my cash rock thunder mammal friends are pretty laid back about smiling in photos.

    I didn't even touch his other implication that since I don't have Asian friends that there must be no Asians where I've lived at all

    including, you know, when I was living in China

    but I decided not to derail the thread more since my points have been made and the onus is on him to smarten up a bit

    plus, I RODE MY NEW BIKE AND DIDN'T DIE

    Not linked to swoleness based on what I've read.
