  • You’re likely gonna experience racism in some form in any community you go to where you are the minority. People are racist, not people of some specific skin color.

    So your assessment is correct, if you go to a majority black community you’re probably gonna find people racist against white people.

    But when you go to the US, white is still the majority. And if you’re not the majority, you’re mostly still a large part. Statistically, the most racism you’ll experience is everyday racism, where maybe some black people believe you’re an asshole even though you aren’t. Most of the time you’re not going to experience anything.



  • I don’t necessarily think people can be evil.

    I know of some of my abusers that they were abused themselves. They knew what they were doing to me wasn’t right but it gave them feelings of power in a world where they otherwise felt powerless.

    For others, bullying me was a social sport, just something you did to “belong” to a certain group.

    I think what they did was evil, but I don’t think they were evil people. They were normal people with inadequate upbringing put into painful situations that resulted in bullying/abusing me being the only perceived “good” outcome for them. For almost all people who do evil things, this is the case.

    I think we all possess the ability to do evil acts in response to certain stimuli, many are just lucky enough never to receive the set of stimuli that causes them to be evil, so they can allow themselves to think they are different, i.e. “good”, and start labeling other people a certain way, i.e. “evil”.

    Conversely, I also think all the people who do evil acts are also able to do good acts in certain situations.

    What we then call a “good” or an “evil person” is just a person where we perceive a larger share of behaviors attributed to that adjective. But are they evil or good people, is that a quality inherent to them? Or is the environment they grew up in evil or good? Or are humans in general evil or good? Is our perception of the share of each set of behaviors even right?

    I think no one deserves for their whole self to be called evil. I think you can call actions evil, and some people may have a lot of these actions, and they’re worthy of being avoided because of that, but I believe they’re the same kind of person than everyone else, just put into terrible situations. So no, I don’t think people can be evil.




  • Just follow (good) recipes. Use recipes from a recipe aggregator (I use Chefkoch because German) that has multiple recipes of the same dish that users can rate to determine which recipes are “good”.

    Most of them have a “preparation time” scale, just use the ones with an acceptable one for you.

    When you don’t know cooking well yet, you should start doing this so you learn the techniques and things to look out for.

    I’d cook a big tray of eggplant lasagna and freeze most of it, so I have food for multiple days. Once you know a recipe well, it’s generally a big cooking time saver to make a lot of it and then freeze.



  • For what it’s worth, I would have appreciated as a victim if my bullies seeked me out and truly apologized to me. It would’ve restored a little faith in humanity. I don’t care now anymore, but there was a time.

    Of course, any feeling that the apology was fake or forced would have ruined the whole thing and had the opposite effect.
