COVID-19 2nd wave - Texas only - Stats and such
We're always trying to live up to the model minority stereotype. If you go into any Asian grocery store it'll be near 100% compliance with masks.

This is a fun show. Hope they get the other seasons on Netflix soon.

Texas Re-Opening Announced
Buddy of ours owns Pour Behavior. Pretty disappointed in him but his FB profile is exactly what you would expect out of someone who would do this(the Asian version).

Just donated. They're certainly better than the Democrats so far at getting under his skin.

Minneapolis is Burning
Yup I know from some of your other posts. I lived there for 5 years and didn't have a single interaction with a cop(lived in gangnam at the time). It actually felt like they there to help/protect(outside of the DWI stops hey had in the busier areas). Almost every foreigner I ever met there always said they felt very safe there in regards to crime/theft. I never really had to deal with the foreigner stigma since I'm ethically Korean. But I think that's changing as well since so many foreigners are going there to live/study/work/marry. I tripped out a few times when I went to the winter olympics in Pyeongchang and would meet white foreigners whose Korean was better than their English. Agree with everything you said. The one part of Korean society I don't really like is how money is basically the cure all to most crimes but I guess it's the same here - just paid to lawyers.

Guessing you don't feel any fear of seeing cops where you are right now.

Trump Donations From Pluckers Co-Founder in 2016 Resurface on Twitter and People Are Mad
Used to go to the original location all the time when I was in school. Loved the fried pickles and fries. Never got the hype about the wings. There's so many places that do it better. Once you've had KFC(korean fried chicken) it's pretty hard to eat anything else.

Minneapolis Cop Murders A Black Man
I guess I need to take my lumps. Could be this guy too. Former cop.

Minneapolis Cop Murders A Black Man
One of his old tweets had a picture of some cycling shoes which match the exact ones in the video. Couple that with deleting years worth of tweets including a bunch of right wing political stuff and GPS tracking. Gonna go out on a limb and say he's probably that asshole. A Also, saw some other pics outside of his profile. It's him.

Coronavirus Impact on Travel
Hoping things will be under control enough to lift the 2 week quarantine by late fourth quarter. Was planning to spend another 2-3 months traveling around Asia playing golf and visiting friends in Korea/Thailand.

I think it's safe to say most of us are in the same boat. But when you've been eating shit for 3 years a stale piece of bread looks like manna from heaven.

As a gen Xer I have way more faith in the millennials on down than I do the older generation of Americans.

Joe Biden Veepstakes 2020
Doesn't Harris/Demings have to be the obvious pick now? I like Warren but Biden seems like he'd get a huge bump from Harris or Demings with the current situation.

Hmmm...this sounds very familiar to another thread in DT.

CR: COVID-19 --Political Talk
I think this is changing in the Asian demographic at least in my social circle. Growing up most of us did fit into that model minority/keep your head down and work hard stereotype but the last few years woke most of us up. The two Trump voters I know of haven't said a word about politics in years and we look at them like dumbasses whenever the subject gets brought up.

Donald Trump 2020
That entire family should be mired in lawsuits and fighting off jail time until Barron is old enough to grift a future generation of Republicans. I am going to be seriously pissed if the next administration doesn't investigate every illegal thing that happened for the past 4 yrs.

I can't believe I live in an America where a random white woman flips off the President and instead of disgust I feel hopeful for the future of this country.

My families Great American Adventure
Was just gonna ask if you were skipping Colorado for a reason. Either way, trip sounds awesome and your kids may remember 2020 for the rest of their lives for something other than COVID.

Seriously. Jesus Christ. Golf is probably the one thing he has actually put work into and that ugly ass swing is the result? No wonder he needs the foot wedge.

CR: COVID-19 --Political Talk
We can't contact trace because Americans love freedom too much. A certain segment of the population won't wear masks during a pandemic because of freedom and how independent America is at its core. Meanwhile the Senate passes this and we won't hear a peep from these freedom fighters. https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/jgxxvk/senate-votes-to-allow-fbi-to-look-at-your-web-browsing-history-without-a-warrant
