Do you get given gifts that prove how little they know about you?

Oh yeah absolutely. I have no interest in fashion -> buys me new clothing in styles that are "trendy" cause they've seen others my age wearing it. I read a book and said I actually didn't like it that…

Saw ex with her affair partner

Yep. I’m getting downvoted but that’s ok. These kinds of things are always trendy to like on and look passed class on.

Does anyone else watch nostalgic content to regulate their nervous system?

Same here. Plus the way they edit movies and shows now with so many cuts. It's too visually choppy for me to watch. I miss old movies and TV shows where the actors could have uncut dialogue with both …

The horrific stories of abuse on this page make me feel ashamed of my CPTS.

Trauma exists on a spectrum, as do its symptoms and effects. What you experienced was destabilizing and impacted your ability to feel safe in the world. Neglect by mentally ill caregivers absolutely c…

Dating as an Asian Australian man

It's also pretty terrible in canada. Asian guys aren't really trendy outside of asia.

Asian erasure or something like that

It's gentrification and white people do it a lot. It's a very common topic in tiktok as Asian food is trendy and assholes rename food items so they can take credit in "inventing" it.

Wife (26F) scheduled cosmetic procedures we agreed we wouldn’t do before marriage, using money from our joint account. I’m (28M) struggling with the trust breach.

I have a friend in exactly the same situation. Exactly the same. And his wife uses the same arguments, too. All I can say is that I just love modern (pseudo)feminist order of things. Full on, trendy…

Chinese American restaurants question why Chinese cuisine can't get the chef's table treatment

If the restaurants really cared to, they can have their waiters specifically tell diners that the menu is designed so you share the plates. In the past 5-10 years it’s become very trendy in Western re…

Everyone wants to “be Chinese,” but nobody wants to be Chinese. Up on a pedestal or down on its knees, it’s all orientalist fantasies

Maybe I'm too old or too Californian, but I haven't encountered any of this and just learned about it from this article. Sounds gross, though, and I'm curious if these people will still be "Chinese" w…

Why do middle class parents care so much about name brands?

It brings social currency. A subculture of the face culture. Same reason Japanese and Korean high schoolers get a loan (from a bank or their parents) to get plastic surgery. Designer brands now have a…

Everyone wants to “be Chinese,” but nobody wants to be Chinese. Up on a pedestal or down on its knees, it’s all orientalist fantasies

When has it ever been trendy to be Chinese? I mean, at least since the first Trump administration, eveything's been blamed on the Chinese.

How come this sub is so blind about cultural appropriation while condemning said appropriation?

One of the two Bobba Tea company founders called boba “that trendy sugary drink that you queue up for and you’re never quite sure about its content.” That's racist and may explain some of the differen…

How come this sub is so blind about cultural appropriation while condemning said appropriation?

Appropriation isn’t always just mocking or derogatory. There’s a profit aspect to it. There are cultural specific things that get stolen by another race or group, get rebranded, and proceed to turn a …

The growing fad of ‘microdosing’ mushrooms is leading to an uptick in poison control center calls and emergency room visits

If they had interviewed the people who had to go to the ER to find out their motivations and dosages, they could have potentially made their case. But it sounds like they just jumped on the possibly t…

Umm... Your thoughts on this?

This is not true. You think this because you view other realities through a specials lens rather the lens of *every reality*, where everything feels ordinary and “naive.” It’s like saying, “If I were …

Found a brand story that credits Britain and Japan for tea, but skips China entirely.

My point is that anything from China that gets trendy in the US will purposely get mislabeled as "Korean", "Japanese", etc, whereas if it were anything from any other country or culture besides China,…
