‘’我只有一生，可我有一百个梦想。‘’
知乎上曾经有过一场大讨论，“不要让孩子输在起跑线上”到底是不是一个谎言。
后来有个答主的一段话近乎终结了这场讨论，他说：“这句话不是谎言，只不过用错了对象。让孩子不要输在起跑线上不是将来往死里折腾孩子，而是现在往死里折腾自己，因为你孩子的起跑线就是你。你的经济能力，学识修养，道德三观，眼界品味决定你孩子从哪开始跑，往哪跑，怎么跑。” 看上去同样是赤手空拳来到人世间，但有人的起跑线旁边停了一辆有司机的车，有人的起跑线上却荆棘密布。
但所谓起跑线从来都不该是存在于外界，而是内心愿意为了某个自己欢喜的正确的目标而加快脚下奔跑的速度的那一刻。这一点不分贫富，无关年龄。
“父母是孩子的第一启蒙老师”，家长对孩子的影响，其实是远远大过孩子就读学校之教育的。 毕竟人生的战场，并不只有一处，所谓的“起跑线”，也不该只有一条。
HAPPY NEW YEAR
Start your New Year with Harry Potter! https://kosmi.app/2sw569
I showed this post to my boyfriend and he tried to take his shirt off like a girl and
uh
yeah
Out of the 82k notes my post got this is by far the best comment holy shit thank u for being u
So i tried it both ways and uh
i mean how do you do the first one without pulling out all your hair?
this made me laugh really hard….
and it made me realize that girls and boys pull their shirt off differently. /amazed
but seriously I think girls just do the cross arm thing because of HAIR like demonstrated
So one year, one URL change, and a hair cut later, I decide to try again… FOR SCIENCE!
Its not science unless you write it down so
First method:
Well done, i guess…
Second:
I fucked up
Girls… how?
I DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW WE CAN HAVE SUCH DIFFERENT WAYS OF TAKING OFF SHIRTS AND SO MUCH DIFFICULTY DOING IT THE OTHER WAY
I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!!
It’s all in the way that girl/boys shirts are made.
Girls shirts have less armpit room then boy’s do and are generally shorter so pulling it off over your head is more practical because by lifting your arms all the way up you make enough room for the sleeves to just slip off.
Boys shirts have more room and are generally longer so it is easy to slip them off over your head.
but if you take a girls shirt off like a boys shirt you will get your arms caught because there isn’t much armpit space.
and if you take a boys shirt off like a girls shit you will still have your head in it when you’ve lifted your arms all the way up because of the shirt’s length.
It has nothing to do with us. It is entirely to do with how our shirts are made. I figured it out for you. YOU’RE WELCOME!
bless you
look what is back on my dash. Jesus.
This came back but with ACTUAL SCIENCE you are the saviour of our generation
I have no words
I seriously just needed this
This deserves the 1 million+ notes it has.
Literally tumblr broke from sll the science
If im a true NB bitch because I take off my shirts by shoving an arm back through the hole, using that arm to grab the Hem of the shirt, and then pulling it up & over my head
Me go
Arms: in
Shirt: up
Development: as a genderfluid person i have found i am able to remove my shirt all three ways
I am too powerful.
I use one hand to hold the sleeve while slipping the arm in said sleeve out, and then I grab a firmer hold on that sleeve and just slip the shirt over my head and pull my other arm out.
WHAT AM I
I grab the hem of my shirt, bend my elbow, then lift up idk how comprehensible this is, but I am more and more beginning to question some things
The secret fourth way is not wearing a shirt at all.

Few of my fav scenes through #EP48 - 51
Being an Expat in Dubai during Corona Epidemic
I have spent most of my life in UAE or as many of you know it Dubai. Throughout my childhood I have always been surrounded by racist situations whether it’s directed towards me personally or to other people I know. Now you would think for a country that is made up of almost over 70% expat, shouldn’t racism be the last thing you expect? After all there isn’t a single race dominating.
Yes, comparing to other middle eastern countries or other third world economically under developed countries, Dubai is much more welcoming. However, that does not mean racism does not exist. From my experience and the things I have seen, here is a race ladder in Dubai:
Local (Emiratis) > GCC Arabs > Other Arabs / Westerns (white people) > Asians (Philippines/Chinese etc.) > Brown Asians (Indians/Pakistanis etc.) > Africans (black people)
SO when you are an local basically you have all the advantage and rights, understandable, after all this is your own country. The locals and GCC Arabs tend to stick together due to similar tradition, culture and language dialect. And we have the other Arabs, in Dubai it’s mostly, Syrians, Egyptians, Lebanese etc. Now these gather together because they have similar language, religion and culture too.
So when you are walking on the streets of Dubai, how can you differentiate these Arabs? Well mostly from their outfits if you don’t speak Arabic. Locals and GCCs women wear Abaya and men wear white Kandura (this is of course the majority, individual preference are excluded). And other Arabs, women mostly would be veiled and men casual clothing but never shorts (religion plays a main role in this).
When you see a white person in Dubai, your first assumption would be, tourists. Dubai’s main income is tourism and with its never ending sales promotion, many high-end recreation parks and its luxury resorts/hotels, it’s one of the most popular place for holiday. Other white people would be some CEO, CCO CFO etc, in international corporate, even when some are trash in their own countries, once they are out here with an accent/native English speakers they became instantly posh. It’s a filter effect we like to use for them regardless of nationalities.
Now what we have are the Asians, usually they don’t mingle with the others, you will find groups of Philippines walking on the streets, going to malls, this is mainly because 1) they have the same language, culture, religion. 2) they probably are all roommates. 3) it is hard to mingle with Arabs who think less of you. Because many of them work either as nannies, waitress, receptionists...., for that they are branded as the people of service. And we have other Asians mostly the Chinese who tend to live in the same area, working for each other or together, they built a whole community for themselves because many are not as fluent in English as other Asians to work outside.
Lastly, we have the Indians/ Pakistanis etc..... these are mostly working as labors in construction or industrial sites, they are the most under privileged in this country. Other half are at offices working mostly in IT departments or teachers at school (don’t ask why).
Almost forgot the Africans, in Dubai they are mainly Somalis, Nigerians, Ethiopians etc., most Somalis I know hold passports of other countries like UK, US, Canada, who are native English speakers, many moved here so that their children could grow up in a Muslim community. As for other Africans honestly I haven’t encountered much.
I have seen discrimination both at school and at work, mostly from Arabs against Asians. At school it would be from students (Arab) to teachers (Asians). At work it would be from anyone superior to the staff below their title, according to the hierarchy.
Discrimination comes through various forms, whether it’s the way they talk, their accents, their looks, their religion, their smell (yes body ordure is a big issue here). Speaking about others in a language they don’t understand - Arabic.
You see, when you are in a multi-cultural country, the discrimination is also multi directional. I am not saying that within the same Arab community everything is harmony or that all Asians are lovey dovey towards each other. Nevertheless, when you look at the whole picture, that race ladder truly exists.
When I was at school, many kids (Arabs) in the bus would make fun of the way I look. Many of my teacher (Asian) had also faced difficulties. Kids in the class would disrespect them because of their origin, they wouldn’t listen to their classes, cause chaos during the lessons and such. But they wouldn’t do it to a teacher (Arab) that speaks their language. That was my first encounter with discrimination. That even at such a young age, we as humans would regard people of the same race, speak the same language as our own and those who don’t as outsiders.
However now, working in a corporate, I have seen and experienced so many discrimination from the Arabs against Asians. Especially during corona virus outbreak. Some of people might say, it’s everywhere get over it! But why just because an issue is occurring all the time in every country, that it has become the norm, that it becomes the standard? What have we become as a species, as the only higher intelligence on Earth to regard racism which is happening everywhere and to everyone as normal?
During corona epidemic a lot of my colleagues makes fun of Asians, for many of them it doesn’t matter you’re Chinese or not, it doesn’t matter whether you have traveled to the affected areas or not, as long as you have an Asian face, you are dangerous. When a colleague or a manager (Arab) was sick, no one made a fuss about that, but when I caught a flu, I was called upon and asked to go to the hospital, I felt cornered to the point that I had to submit my medical report in order to prove that I don’t have corona.
Their reactions were very understandable since this is a pandemic we are facing and no one wants to be sick. But what kind of vibe they are sending when the moment they heard I am sick, they disinfected the whole department and did not do the same when others were sick? I was asked to leave and given a longer holiday when I showed up at the office to grab some paper works, although I have already recovered from my cold. This level of ignorance and discrimination is happening everywhere, corona or not, this epidemic is merely their outlet to be racist. It has nothing to do with the virus. So my question is why should we endure this? What give them the right? Is it because they pay my salary? Is it because I am living on their land? Is it because they have to power to do so?
As I write this, I know that if I post this I will face controversies, difficulties, actions even from the company or government (I don’t know what level of free speech UAE can endure). But I want the world to know what is happening. Of course I am not the only one and won’t be the last one to encounter such situations. And Dubai is definitely not the only place for this to happen, many have faced and are still facing discrimination in different parts of the world.
If you have read until the end, I thank you for sticking with me through my horrible composition and I appreciate you cared till the end.
When Dijun smiles like this.... I don’t know whether to be fan-girling or having goose bumps
Dijun went from sad to battle mode pretty fast....

Fengjiu: Don’t talk, from now on you must listen to me.
Donghua: Forget me.
