"People are overreacting" was a common response to the rise of Trump, the increase in first amendment violations by religion, police brutality, and yes, even the Nazis. We need to react to the shift that are happening to make sure they stop. If they seem like an overreaction to you, it's because you aren't the one in danger,and you don't care about those of us who are. You even admitted you weren't in the US, and said you were confused.

I explained the context, and now you, someone who doesn't have experience of growing up in American racism, are judging the reaction?

Yes, if it said that personality came from genes, then said that said black girl had "great jeans.'"

Do you think black supremacy doesn't exist? Black Israelism and 5% Nation are both explicitly black supremacists imo, and I in no way consider them to be doing my skin color favors. I will criticize them the same way I criticize British Israelism. As well as other dog whistles or other colorism.

I'm also highly critical of black people who hate on lighter colored black people, and have family who has suffered from it.

Did you think that was a gotcha? That people critical of racism aren't critical of racists of similar color to them?

Is English not your first language? The phrase "she has great jeans" is a double entendre for "good genes", which feels like a white supremacy dog whistle. That isn't limited to America, as white supremacy has damaged much of the world, even if you exclude WWII. Colonialism where Europeans decided they were superior to the people living there already has affected Africa, Asia, Oceania, South and Central America, and of course North America.

I'm not going to claim don't watch porn,but I don't use pornhub. Honestly, most of the sex stuff I see online now are from one of the nsfw instances, and before that the reddit ones. Probably because for so long I had to be quiet about it,I generally go with still or gifs instead of videos, and I prefer people posting themselves instead of general commercial stuff. Feels more ethical to look at the tits of the person who posted her own tits to be looked at.

From what I heard from a coworker, moose pheromones are even stinkier? They used em as a prank (they can be ordered for hunting) on a friend but it was so hard to get out I think the car he to be totalled, if I remember the story right

Infodumping male here, I generally do it because in my mind context is important to make sense, and of course I do it regardless of gender. It honestly feels like a detriment, as I feel myself taking too long, but don't really know how to shorten it. I do it when explaining issues at work or when talking about stuff I like etc, but have audio has times where I tried to be brief then got the wrong info across or forgot to mention something important or just right make sense. It's like I can't find the right balance between explaining and dumping.

I didn't find this post as an insult or anything though.

I think it's more beer than coke. It's also for like drinking with friends and not standing out if you don't like alcohol but the rest do.

Edit: maybe I should say also for alcohol rather than more for alcohol.

People can remember two things, and lots of people like drama. This is a short laugh at a CEO getting a very small amount of comeuppance. It's not going to make us forget how terrible Trump is or that the government is actively covering up for pedophiles.

We need small breaks of laughter to keep sane sometimes.

I don't feel like ~~doing the math~~ googling it, but I was born Brooklyn, NY, USA. Currently a few miles outside Atlanta, GA, but my journey here takes me up and down the east coast, plus a place further south. I can't really think of NY as home because I've only lived there maybe 1.5 years at most, and 1 of those was as an infant.

At 1 my family moved to GA, at 2 they moved to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (fathers home country), where my first memories are from. At 7 my mom left said father over his repeated cheating, so we moved back to Brooklyn for ~6 months (maybe less) then moved to Virginia until I hit 17 when I graduated highschool. Moved to Florida, lived there for years until 2017 and I moved to GA for a job.

I'm not sure I consider anywhere other than where I am now "home." I have fond memories of each place, but they just feel like phases of my past life, like elementary(well, 4 different elementary), middle, or highschool. I don't consider any of those schools any more of a school I went to than the others, and I generally treat "home" the same. It's just where I live now.

I also don't fully identify with any ethnic group either. I spoke without an accent in the island so never fully integrated, and then in the US I didn't quite have the same lived experience there either.

Since it's an idol and the 10 commandments strictly forbade those, even if it wasn't his torture instrument.

I was thinking 56 is pretty old for people who do ~~stupid~~ I mean, "daredevil" stunts often.
