I appreciate the well thought out response. I’m an old millennial and kind of a loner, hence a hobby that I do by myself away from people. So, until recently I would have had to rely on Reddit to answer a question like that. Which I think we both know how that would have gone.
Once again. Thank you for your time.
Serious question about cultural appropriation. What is it? Like, I wear non la, or Asian conical hat when I go fishing. The reason is because I hike through thick brush to get to spots where nobody else goes. Those hats allow me to tip my head forward, and it pushes the brush to the side as I walk through without getting hung in the branches. It helps to keep parasites out of my hair.
It’s a superior design to a normal sun hat for what I do. Is that cultural appropriation? Or, is it only cultural appropriation if it’s disrespectful? But if it’s only when you’re being disrespectful. Then what about people that view just the very act of wearing or using something from a different culture as disrespectful?
In this house we are a beef and stroganoff family ONLY!!
With that being said. I may not condone your “sausage stroganoff”, but I figure that if you wanna stick your sausage in some stroganoff. Well, I’ll fight for your right to do so.
I just want to make it clear. I am no sausage stroganoff lover. But, I believe in your freedom to stroganoff any way that makes you happy.
I got no beef with stroganoff. That shit is delicious.
I bet there is oil in the Arctic, and OP is actually the US government. This is our future sheeple!!! Wake up!!!
I think it will improve, and I mean the truth is always more complicated. It is bad decisions, but it’s also bad circumstances. When they first got together she was a well paid nurse, and living in Oregon. They moved back here when she became disabled because it’s cheaper here.
But, that’s life ya know. As my father used to say “In life, you pays your money and you takes your chances.” I know he didn’t invent that saying, but he said it quite often when talking about how life doesn’t turn out the way you wanted.
So, that’s a complicated issue. She is like 60 and disabled. She has MS. He is like 34 and isn’t disabled, but is her husband and full time caregiver. They are married, and spend most of their time playing video games.
He met her playing on a game server I used to host a literal lifetime ago. They got married when he turned 18. Honestly the whole thing is kind of gross, and I don’t really like her much. But, he and I grew up in the same town and share some experiences, and are friends.
They got into a cheap house and have been living there. Recently she inherited some money and bought the trailer and land that he grew up on. They are in the process of moving into it. Which is closer to me.
I think their rent has been 850 a month and she gets like 1100 a month for disability. So that doesn’t leave much for bills.
That’s a good question. She is on disability, but he is her caregiver. So, I don’t know if that would feed both. I’ll ask them about that.
Yeah it’s kind of rural, but also people don’t talk around here. I don’t know any of my neighbors names, and I live in an apartment. Also, save money was really a polite way of saying pay bills or eat. Like, even now they don’t use heat in the winter which isn’t a big deal. But they don’t use a/c in the summer. Which here is incredibly dangerous. In the summer the temp regularly gets above 100F and the average humidity is around 75%.
Now things are better. His dad drives down once a month and takes them food shopping, and buys them stuff. But that still means most of the month is no fresh fruits, or vegetables, or milk.
The scurvy thing was just something that happened due to poor diet. Like, sure, looking back it’s easy to say “I’m getting scurvy. I better eat some vitamin C.” But the reality was they didn’t realize that they had scurvy until it was serious enough to have symptoms. After all who thinks about scurvy in 2017.
I mean maybe, but how do you get involved with one? Also, they’d have to deliver.
Granted they were headed to West Virginia next. So they may have changed their tune. Heh
So I live in the US. I have 2 friends that got scurvy in 2017. How did they get scurvy you might ask? Let me tell you. They live about 30 mins from the grocery store in a car. Which they don’t have. The closest person that can take them grocery shopping lives about 2 hours away. Plus they’re poor as shit.
To save money they spent 3 months eating nothing but homemade biscuits (scones for non Americans). The lack of vitamin c gave them scurvy.
They live on a fixed income. My state tightened requirements for food stamps. They were fucked.
I will say that the UN came to my state several years ago. They literally called it the 3rd world and said it was the most impoverished place in the developed world. So, there’s that.
Heh, I wish. I’m not exactly sure who he is, (even after reading his wiki) but I’m pretty sure he has a lot more money than me. Which would be nice.
Sometimes, when I’m deep in thought I forget to turn on music in the car. My partner is convinced that i do it on purpose to piss them off. Really, my brain just sucks at multitasking.
So, I’d probably ride there in silence, but only because I forgot to turn on the music.
My first game had achievements deactivated from the beginning. I had to ditch that game. Then download a mod to activate achievements, and start over.
Yeah, I wasn’t sure if I was getting downvoted because people thought I was calling for violence, or because they just thought I was commenting nonsense.
I tried googling why Gary three times and it comes up with articles about it, and of course you can type that into YouTube and see the video. That dad shooting that molester is still one of the most surreal videos I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot of crazy videos.
Why Gary! Why Gary! Why Gary!
I remember telling my dad that I wanted an NES. He was like “we got NES at home.” Get home to a Bally Astrocade. Looking back that was cool as fuck. I miss that thing. But man was I pissed back then.
