I mean I almost always have a reusable bag since plastic’s been banned in my city for like 10 years, but for those very rare times I forget my bag it would be really, really nice if the paper bags weren’t totally useless. I agree with your point though, just cool it worked to have both :(

The streets

Essentially what everyone else in this thread has said already but mental health > money/career prestige IMO.

In my line of work I constantly get told I’m underutilized and people always tell me I should be x or y. The thing is x and y do not align with my morals and I know I would be miserable in those jobs. I know I’d be very good at them and I understand people think they’re giving me a compliment, but I have always just wanted to have a job where I could pay my bills (which I can right now) and not have my career consume my life (which I do right now). If I went into one of the other types of jobs, the likelihood that my work/life balance would be skewed is high, or I’d be put into a position in my work where I’m enacting things that I am not comfortable with. I made my decision for myself, and if I want to “waste” my skills, that’s my fucking choice and they need to leave me tf alone.

Anyway, all that to say, fuck those guys and fuck the capitalistic hierarchial bullshit that states that your job defines your worth. You do you.

Edit: literally as soon as I posted this, went back to my feed and this was the next post

If it’s a (usually sexual) thing that would normally require consent (like any other fetish), and Tarantino is using his power as director to persuade women actors to show their feet (e.g. Margaret Qualley), then yes, absolutely it is hurting someone and he is using his power to appease his fetish, which is gross. The fetish itself is not gross, idgaf if someone’s into feet, but it’s not okay to force others into your fetish.

Im not sure about the ethics of this company, which is Australian based, but I’ve been using Textra for probably 10 years now. It does base off the base messenger app, so messages are still put through google but I’m not sure that any apps can avoid that.

Otherwise though it’s clean and customizable. Pretty basic features like blocking, group messaging, reactions all work. The thing I like best is you can compose a message and reply directly from the notification bar. I think it’s something like $3 to remove ads forever, I paid forever ago and haven’t had any issues transferring through phones.

Omg try going to sapphic spaces. So much of the time the first few questions go far deeper than you’d even had time to ever think about before.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind, it’s just such a different experience to be at a bar and get random questions about what/when the last time you experienced joy or what you hope to achieve in life.

I would still use illiterate in that case, and would argue that is the correct term at least according to Merriam Webster:

a : violating approved patterns of speaking or writing
b : showing or marked by a lack of familiarity with language and literature

Or even just at its most basic:

having little or no education

TIL, thanks!

Flash freezing individual fish feels a bit different than taking out that (presumably thawed) fish, using it to make sushi rolls, and then refreezing it.

Edit: My perception was obscured by disgust and I didn’t realize these are California rolls and don’t have fish, but the point stands. Frozen rice and frozen avocado are fucking gnarly. Frozen avocado especially is a sin.

I was already upset at the frozen sushi but you just had to go and make this microwave sushi comment. I think I’m done for the night.

Wasn’t there a black mirror episode or something like this

Omg thank you for the explanation I was real worried there for a second

It remembers its original position?

I remember going to one of his rallies when I was like 6 or 7 with my parents and remember it was a huge deal when he became president, people seemed happy about it. I’m curious to ask my parents now what it was.

Dude sounds scummy AF from that wiki page though.

For real. I am Mexican and was a child through his presidency and I had no idea he was a CEO of coca cola lmao.

If I’m understanding what you’re trying to ask, yes, there are a lot of people with indigenous heritage especially in California/texas/etc (places that until the Mexican-American war belonged to mexico) and they’re now considered Latino (which I think is what you mean by “Hispanic”.

It should be noted that not all Latin American people are Hispanic (e.g. some speak portuguese), yet many share similar cultures and looks because they are all descendents of indigenous peoples that were colonized.

It’s happening in the US to Native Americans that they’ll be confused for “illegal aliens”(I hate this term but it’s what they call them) and they’ll have their American identity questioned, simply because they look like Mexicans or other Latin American people because, like I said, we’ve all descended from the indigenous peoples of this continent.

Just as an FYI, many Latin American folks don’t like to be referred to as Hispanic because a) not all are, and b) that is the name of the people that conquered us.

Yeah it’s possible, but what I remember from the other post is about her calling him a loser or useless or something along those lines, so I think she’s just very controlling.

I have you tagged from an older post and remember your mom saying some whack ass shit in another post you made. Headphones won’t make you deaf unless you’re absolutely blasting your music at full volume.

I hope you’re feeling better soon and not letting her shit get you down. You got this.

Relevant

Same with indigenous people on turtle island (north america).

I’d argue that it doesnt really count since the concept of ‘country’ though is more colonial in its origins so realistically, a ‘country’ wouldn’t exist until after colonization in these areas.

Nations might’ve existed with different groups/tribes/villages sharing a culture, but the concepts of clear-cut borders, strict land ownership, and nationalism (which to me are a requirement for the concept of a “country”) are significantly different in many indigenous cultures as compared to colonial states. Maybe with the exception of some Latin American empires? Though I don’t know enough about those empires to be confident in that.
