    Other Is racial bias the same thing as racism

    Hm, as I understand (and to me), racial bias is a state of mind about a given race. Your stereotypes and opinionated views about a specific race are a bias that influences your perception of said race. So, to use an example mentioned above - "blacks are gang-bangers" - that would be a bias if it...

    Other How should we act ethically?

    I think the ideal is to act as they desire so long as they do not severely inconvenience anyone - this part's a rather ambiguous and subjective portion that really varies according to situation (which might involve some negotiation).

    Nah it's cool~ ^_^

    Other If you changed your name what would you change it to?

    Would have went with Anastasia for sure! Certainly not because of a certain 50 Shades of Grey, but it had been a name I always liked ever since I first encountered it when I was younger in that Disney movie (that no one seems to remember).

    Other How do YOU deal with stress?

    I feel like it's always way better to release stress physically. If I had a punching bag, I'd go to it for sure... But since bashing my pillow makes me feel too guilty, I have stress balls that I squeeze the hell out of. Just a few good squeezes and I'm able to relieve enough stress to think...

    Science Help me with my research!

    There, done :blowkiss: That said, if you're open to critique (and perhaps if you still have the time to work in changes or whatnot), I have some for you. If not, it's fine to just ignore it (or you could read it and ignore it anyway, there's that!). Those who haven't taken the test shouldn't...

    Other Would you die for your beliefs? (Serious answers only)

    What someone above already said, the strength of your conviction is not merely a sum of your words. I'll easily renounce almost any belief or ideology to anyone, any day, provided the outcome's beneficial to me in the end.

    Other Favorite Character Design?

    I can't really pin down a specific piece, but I generally enjoy most of the character designs from this artist. And if I had to choose one (from the first page of his gallery).... I suppose I have quite a thing for the Japanese Hime-cut right now, so this one's perfect.

    Other What do you like most about yourself?

    My adaptability. Being alone now in a foreign country (and finally being independent), I find that I'm actually a lot more adaptable than I gave myself credit for.

    Other What would your element be?

    I'd easily choose Water for rather practical reasons. I mean, well, there's plenty of water on this planet. The human body's also supposed to be majority water... And, blood-bending? ... Well, I guess there's also drawing water in some event of.. I don't know, getting stuck in a desert for...

    Other What sports do you do?

    I do plenty, but primarily volleyball... A little netball before that.

    Other What's your religion?

    I was Catholic, but I've grown distant from the faith in general for various reasons - mostly just stating it as pure matter-of-fact when asked now.

    Other Any accidentally drink any type of alcohol once?

    Ah, I'll always think about that one time I was given sake to try. No warning, no clues about what it was; probably no ill intent, but dang, it was one of the worst things I've ever drank. Really hated that one and never touched it again ever since. I was young though, so maybe my taste might...

    Other What did you want to be when you grew up?

    Ah, the days. I wanted to be an inventor back then. Funny how far I've went from that, from science to liberal arts.

    Other Murica

    Oh? What commercial, what commercial! :P   My sympathies are with y'all though. The election this time around is just... Very unfortunately entertaining. And it shouldn't be entertaining! Or even this bigoted, or even this uncouth; "saying it like it is" is all well and good, but there are...

    Other Where are my history nerds?

    I don't have in-depth knowledge on most of these, just to be clear... It was just a passion pursuit of a side-interest, mostly. 1. Do you have a favorite era? The Three Kingdoms era in Chinese history's definitely my favourite. Large part of that interest was due to the novel "The Romance...

    Other Wifu/Husbando

    I'm not usually rather impressed by characters in general, male protagonists especially - feels to me they're either have a personality that doesn't feel like it would gel... Or they're too perfect (shoujo).  Mikasa though. Muscles and personality (soft-spoken yet firm) are pretty appealing.

    Other Rules of the Zombie Apocalypse

    Machetes seem a lot more practical and easier to maintain (I think) than a katana. Though I suppose true Nippon steel might save lives.

    Other Do you have any cool collections?

    Well, instead of dolls, I went with Bionicles. That was back when the line of stuff came out, and I think I have almost all of the first-gen ones? It was fun fixing them up though, and well, the fact they're worth quite a fair bit now is quite interesting to know about.
