Im a new fan (2023), and i've always wondered, before everything that BBC was doing was revealed, did ORBITs already dislike the company?

I know oftentimes fans dislike the company that their favorite group is from, but it's mostly just 'theyre overworked' 'more promo' usual BS, or did ORBITs already have a clue into what was happening , and they just didn't know how bad it was?

Sure , there were hints in content here and there, but it was pretty subtle.

Because knowing ORBITs, i don't think they would stand to see the girls mistreated if they fully knew everything before.

We all know that season 2 has officially been confirmed, since we know what the setting will be. But I feel like I've seen a lot of posts online talking about how they're scared season 2 will be bad or remove the already established relationships of characters.

I understand the fear. It's been a long time. People have headcanons. People have ideas of how they want the story to go, but let's keep an open mind.

The OVA was really well done, and I didn't see any complaints about it. It actually expanded Reki and Langa's relationship, in my opinion. And it gave us more insight about how Joe and Cherry got into skateboarding.

I really hope they'll be brave enough to expand on Matchablossom and Renga, knowing the writer/creator, I'm positive there will atleast be heavier queer undertones. Let's keep in mind that Attack on Titan Season 2 took four years to come out and it is still one of the best anime seasons and shows of all time.

I Was honestly surprised when I saw people that were scared or didn't want a season 2 because it had been so long or they assumed it might be bad, because I thought the general consensus was that everyone was super excited for a confirmed season 2.

But let me know what you guys think.

I'm not even trying to be slow, I have acheron, Cassie and evanescia as my three main teams right now, the thing is, i can't use hyacine since she's with cas, i can't use huohuo since shes with eva for now, i see people saying to use welt, but I dont have e4 and doesn't mort need a sustained to be able to work.

Idk. Maybe I'll be able to use huohuo when pearl releases. We need more healers in this game.

Hey everyone. Visiting thailand (specifically the outskirts of Bangkok is where I am) for the first time. Im visiting with my boyfriend's family who are thai, and they asked me what I wanna do but I have no clue.

I'm not a huge fan of shopping, but I do like big cities. But what i enjoy the most is more physical things and i enjoy experiencing cuktural things aswell Like when I visited Ottawa all I wanted to do was ice skate on the canal and visit parliment hill. Was fun.

But anyway, any suggestions where to visit, where to eat etc etc

For context, I'm (M16) East Asian and I grew up in a conservative Asian household in Canada. My family has always been racist, homophobic, transphobic, and colorist for my entire life. Some of their behavior has been hard to unlearn, but I have.

My mom especially dislikes South Asian and Southeast Asian people because of their darker skin. She also doesn't like that I'm gay or have a boyfriend (M16), but she tolerates it. My boyfriend is Southeast Asian, so he has darker features and tan skin. My mom has always made colorist comments about him. I tell her to stop, but she's so stubborn that I just give up.

Then a few days ago, she picked us up from the lake after we went swimming. Instead of just keeping her fat mouth shut, she decided to start asking my boyfriend really invasive questions about his family, and then said mocking things about his skin color and his culture, insinuating he was dirty or he was too brown.

When we got home, I told my mom that wasn't okay and that she really upset him. I try to be nice, but she doesn't listen. She's hard to argue with. I told her if she has to make those jokes, say them to me, not him. That was my mistake because it got even worse.

Today, we were driving to the store, and she started making the same jokes again. I tried to ignore her, but then she joked about my boyfriend's latex allergy. His allergy is really bad, and exposure could result in him needing to go to the hospital. She joked She would fill his room with balloons and that he should wash his dirty brown skin.

At that point, I told her this has gone way too far and that she was disgusting. She got angry and didn't speak to me for the rest of the trip. When we got home, I told her I wouldn't speak to her again until she apologized directly to my boyfriend.

I know I should have stood up for him sooner, and I was letting my mom's behavior fester. Doing all this, I put my boyfriend in an uncomfortable position and made my mom really angry. So, am I the asshole?

(Note: i'm sorry about any awkward text, i have carpal tunnel in my wrist right now, so I'm Using text to speech)

Hey everyone, i cant find the megathread, my team rn is e0s1 acheron, e0so mort, e1s0 sparkle, e1s0 hyacine. What should I do next?

So what should I really do wise redditors?

Hey everyone, im a dedicated therta main. Unfortunately, i wasn't able to grab e1 3b because I literally had no jades. I pulled the whole patch, and I just wasn't able to grab her. I have her premium team, and therta herself is e1s1. Would it be worth it to invest in dhpt LC or anaxa e2 ( got his e1 as a double) or should I just wait for therta/3b again? I'm hesitant to spend pulls because i've heard a lot of people say that those two are not worth it. (Or dhpt e1) and it's been rumored Evanescia is re running next patch and she's my other main. I'd really love to pick up e2 for eva. Any advice

So, I was using Cassie in the new ap shadow, I have her perfectly tuned at 94 speed, but everytime I enter battle it makes her speed 95 so I don't get the full poet buff aswell, it doesnt show the crit rate buff on her. Any ideas??

I work at a fast food spot named Tim Hortons. Now, if you're not Canadian, you might not know what this is. Tim Hortons is basically a coffee shop chain that sells cheap coffee and shitty pastries at a low price, just like any fast food place.

But I feel very out of place at the restaurant I currently work at. I am the only teenager that works there, and I am the only Asian person that works there. Everyone else is white and way older than me. A lot of the time I get stuck with the shitty tasks, which is okay and I don't mind it, but they treat me horribly..

is what I thought, but my parents think differently. So, for example, I'll be making a coffee, and somehow I don't do it fast enough, and all my coworkers, including my manager, supervisor, and just colleagues, will yell at me to be faster. Not only this, but I have to continuously be doing something wrong. I was in the middle of making an order, and I ran out of coffee on the counter station where I was. So I ran over to the drive-thru really quickly just to fill one cup of coffee. My coworkers lost their shit on me. They got so mad and said, just make a new pot of coffee. And I said, it's brewing right now, but I can't pour the coffee until enough brews to actually fill the coffee I have to run over here. One of my coworkers didn't care, but all the rest of them, especially the ones that were in their 30s or over, cared a lot.

I have other instances too. Same shift, by the way. I have to pour in half a cream into a cup of coffee. Now, on the machine up at the front of the counter, it doesn't pour half of anything. I have to go use the one in the drive-thru. My manager lost her shit on me and told me if it was a large cup, just to put in a medium amount of cream. I told her it was a small cup of coffee, and we don't have anything smaller than that, so I had to use the half cream machine. And she said, just pour half out. I told her I would prefer to be accurate. She lost her marbles. My parents told me I was being disrespectful. The whole time, I used a calm tone with her, and I didn't lose my mind or anything.

There's tons of instances like this too. If someone brews a pot of coffee wrong, they immediately think, oh, Satoru, why did you do that? Every time I defend myself. If someone put an order wrong, they say, Satoru, why'd you put that order in wrong? But it's never me. I'm always doing my job right, I'm just slower than the rest of them.

The same shift where they were yelling at me like crazy, I kind of had a little bit of a breakdown. I went to the bathroom and cried for a few minutes, then I picked myself back up and I left. My manager found me before I went back up front, and she told me the customers couldn't see me like that, and asked me why I'm crying. I just told her, it's nothing, it's not related. But she pushed and she pushed and she pushed. So I told her, I'm just stressed out right now and I feel like I'm not doing a good job. She just told me, "well, I can't keep taking my baker off to help you at the front counter because you're slow". And I said, "you don't have to get your baker to help me. I can just stay up at the front, I can do it. I'm just a little slower than you." She lost her fucking marbles on me and told her I am being very disrespectful and forced me to go home. I still had five hours left in my shift, but I had to go home anyway.

Maybe it's something about workplace etiquette, but I really don't think I deserve to be disrespected just because of my age. I'm constantly picked on in that work environment, and I don't get treated like a person. My manager literally told me to my face in one instance she doesn't like training teenagers because they're difficult. I don't think I was being difficult at all. I've always been respectful to her, and I've even offered to take up extra shifts when I needed to. She just doesn't like me.

Oh, also, she never schedules me. She forgot to put my schedule in for one week and just told me the days to come in. Now, I thought she meant this was a set schedule, so I just started coming in like that for about three weeks until she noticed and told me I was grabbing extra hours I shouldn't have and I can't come in without a schedule. And I said, you never scheduled me, so how was I supposed to know when to come in? And now she only schedules me for one week every week after that. When I asked her if I could grab extra shifts, she said, I'm gonna give my extra shifts to my more skilled employees.

Maybe this is just how the fast food work environment is, but I feel like they're targeting me based on my age and also based on my race, because they talk down to me a lot, and it's a big stereotype for people to treat Asian men like they're incompetent or can't understand English, or are innocent. And that's how they treat me.

Does anyone have any advice on what to do? Is this just a me problem? Should I just suck it up? Or should I ask to transfer? If anyone has any advice, please let me know.

Edit: i want to preface.They really do blame me for everything.If something goes wrong , it always has to be my fault. And when I say my manager loses her mind at me, I don't mean she gets frustrated with me.I mean , she screams at me in front of everyone.

I (16M) i'm an asian male living in canada, hi , i've experienced my fair share of people believing I am innocent, babying me, or just not believing i'm as competent as my white counterparts. I live in a very , very white town. So maybe that plays a part

Then comes the sexualization, especially from the gay male community. I am gay myself, and I have no problem with gay white people, but they tend to infantilize us and treat us like our race is inherently sexual, i'm sick of it. Everywhere I go at school i'm called slurs and believed to be innocent or not as competent. Everywhere I go online (sometimes at school) my race is sexualized and I'm treated like some foreign sex toy.

This seems like a very obvious question, " it's bad, duh." But i've had some older asians on the say that its better than slurs or comparing their situations, then, ive had other gaysians say its not a big deal. And it's honestly made me feel like maybe I shouldn't complain, maybe this is the better way. But, i don't think it's selfish to want neither.

Edit: I know asian women probably go through a similar thing, but i'm not a woman , so I don't want to speak on asian women's experience. + spelling

Edit 2: some of you have clearly never been in a gay space as an asian. And yhats okay, but if straight white men sexualize female Asians, is it really a stretch to say gay white men do it to male Asians. Fml.

Answering the nsfw questions is quite funny imo
