As a lifelong southerner, I can attest to a veritable cornucopia of racists. There are:
Swamp racists, marsh racists, bayou racists (all are different), mountain racists, valley racists, low country racists, beach racists, ocean racists (totally different species, unrelated, with overlapping territory), woods racists, forest racists, and countless other unknown and tiny micro communities of different racists.
If you could figure out what your pattern was, and were the total body tattoo type, it would be cool as fuck to get a full body tattoo of your individual invisible (now visible, I guess) uniquely you skin pattern!
As an aside, the rating thing at Walmart self check out is for the cashier, not the store. If the clerks get below a certain average rating they get penalized (or at least they don’t get certain benefits or some shit, from my understanding). I don’t know if they count purchases that don’t rate at all, but I know some people rate 1 each time because fuck Walmart, but that ends up hurting the cashier, not the store.
About to go through there tomorrow. Is it as bad as I’ve heard? Only flown twice before (to Mexico and back from Tennessee), went through Knoxville and Atlanta on the way in, then Detroit and Knoxville on the way back.
I missed the colon in that book title at first and was very confused about a book for their mother entitled “on looking eleven…”
Did Randy Newman answer your question personally?
'tis truth, friend. And it’s absolutely fucking adorable. YouTube “popcorning guinea pigs” or rats or whatever, it’s so fucking cute.
I mean, can also sort of get it the other way around, too. Like, she doesn’t want a strange man she doesn’t know back at the hotel with her. But also, 1, it’s fucked to separate a family, it’s screams of trying to get them into a vulnerable position, and also, she’s clearly not trying to, like, house these people. Just give them a room for tonight, best case scenario. I do not blame Mama for knocking her down one teeny tiny bit, even if she knows she’s a celebrity and probably not a human trafficking nutjob.
Yeah, it looks like she thinks she’s so famous that of course they’ll know who she is. The fake accent, the “not the husband just you and the kids”, “this is dirty, leave it” all of it combined with the super obvious fact that’s she’s stoned out of her gourd make me think she thought she was doing a good thing… Like, she had good intentions… But you know what they say about the road to hell. She was stoned, and oblivious, and egotistical, arrogant, and of course white woman knows best… I know literally nothing else about her personal life other than this video and that she lives in Dubai now (both of which I learned from this thread). I’m withholding judgement for what a sober Lindsay is like, but this speaks to some sad shit.
Damn! Fellow Homeschooled Abeka-refugee, and a fellow Christian anarchist‽ Well met! In fairness, my religion’s all over the place, but Christian anarchism is a big part of it.
I was homeschooled my entire childhood. My mom was a Christian. Not a crazy zealot, just a woman with faith. Initially, my school books were through a Christian curriculum program (I believe abeka books, iirc). One of my textbooks had this module on dinosaurs, with little pictures of humans in leopard print look clothes picking berries while a brontosaurus walked by in the background. My mom, ever the fantastic mother, immediately tossed those pieces of garbage and got me on the state curriculum that the public schools used. Took her forever to get it. Initially, when she called the state to ask how to get those resources she was told to stick with abeka, and was offered several other insane religious options before they finally relented. From then on, even though we lived in Virginia, my school standard came out of California, and I had to take end of year tests that aligned with the state of California. I got a great education, and because Mama let me basically choose what hours of the day I did my schoolwork in, I didn’t really need to take summers off. Ended up finishing 12th grade at 14 years old. I am so thankful that she realized how bad those books were, and fought to make sure, even as a single mother working well over full time, that her kids got a good education. My brother and I both placed highest in the state when we took our final exams, in everything but math.
Most of my internetin’ is done on mobile, because I’m very rarely at my desk, and when I am, I’m normally working on school. Are there any solutions to handling this easily on mobile without having to manually erase part of the pasted link when I go to send it to someone? A few people have mentioned that’s it’s not 100% guaranteed that the anything after ? Is worthless, so I don’t know how to ensure I’m not breaking a link
Was using a VPN to watch iPlayer last night and then hopped on reddit and was like “whereintheactualfuck is all the porn‽” Before realizing I had it set to the UK. Blew my mind for a minute
Meanwhile, in south Carolina, I pay bring home about 60% of my income, I can’t afford to eat well, I get absolutely zero assistance for food, medical insurance, or God Forbid basic income, and I am genuinely contemplating attempting to live in my vehicle in an abandoned parking lot near my work to save on gas money.
Fucking. Exactly. Tap is awesome. It’s fast, it works, but just fucking standardize where it’s at!
But until then, as someone who works a register, people, please, look at the machines and see if there is a very clear label on it saying TAP HERE. I don’t know how every customer misses it, but they do.
One of my favorite ways this has ever been expressed is through David Graeber. Paraphrasing:
If you convince 100 million people that you can breathe under water, and you go sit at the bottom of a lake, you drown.
If you convince 100 million people you’re the king of France… Then you’re the king of France.
Fairly short read effectively, it’s never been made public what the loophole was/is, and all those who knew first hand are dead now. But it’s speculated to be a few different things, the leading theory (and the one I think is it) is article V, the process by which we amend the constitution. If we can amend the constitution, we can amend article V, meaning we can then make it easier to amend again later, in a downward spiral. We could also amend the constitution, do a bunch of fashy shit, then amend article V to make it so the constitution could not be amended ever again.
Clearly the most efficient way to stop this genocide is to wait until all the Palestinians have been murdered. Then no more can be murdered. Thus no more genocide. Obviously you just don’t understand the complexities of the situation. It’s the only way to ensure the genocide stops!
I fucking hate myself for knowing that I’ll be voting for her. Jesus
Oh, I forgot the largest and most widespread: NASCAR racists!
