I don’t think there would be perspectives on race, except as a hypothetical- the way I (and I assume others) feel when something like those head shape diagrams that tell you about whether someone’s a criminal (edit: phrenological diagrams)come up: it’s an invented way to keep people in groups, so it won’t stick around once people are no longer separating themselves on that basis.

Given that we don’t live in that society, I see no issue with treating a post from a white man specifying white beauty differently from one from a black man about black beauty. They are different statements. I see it similarly to how a woman saying “it was great to see a woman win a scientific award” is a different statement from a man saying “it was great to see a man win a scientific award.” Black women have been excluded from American ideas of beauty since there was an America in a variety of ways.

It sounds like you’re thinking of Helen Viola Jackson. I didn’t know that, but it was at the bottom of your Wikipedia link :)

That’s also number 2

Also, our protesters might get brutalized and slapped with some petty charges. Theirs disappear

Ours also disappear.

Did you block the Star Trek communities? Serious question, just because you hit all the other big lemmy things.

I’m not a super fan, but I fuck with the next generation, but I don’t know many people younger than me (early thirties) who are into it (or were before the last couple of years of new series). That alone skews the age demographic for my head canon, but I don’t know if it’s especially based in reality.

This is how I write my gs, if that helps

It’s pretty similar to a hasty cursive g

My camera phone can’t copy text :(

This man’s wife specifically asked him not to, because he also tried to kill her last year. I was expecting to have more sympathy for the man, but then I read the story. His kid brought him in to confess, which is an unbelievable position to put your kid in.

I do understand putting someone out of their misery, and I’m not unempathetic towards the grinding horror that is capitalism, but this is an awful thing for other reasons as well.

I honestly agree with them about how dumb a lot of our legal system is. Their response is to try and make it dumber, though

The definitions of living, breathing, and life form would probably help

I speak a language with a formal you and am constantly trying to use it to tell people to back off, but it doesn’t really work like that. That’s absolutely what I do in English with ma’am/sir though.

I used to work in a call center for an insurance company, so people would get upset and shitty with us. My default to “reset” politeness was to allow a couple beats of silence, then say “well sir/ma’am, xyz is what I can do to help you. Would you like my help?” It worked about 90% of the time, but drawing the silence out longer and adding more audibly sarcastic sugar on the sir/ma’am would generally work at either getting them in line or provoking them enough to cross the line so we could hang up on them.

“I think Gov. Noem’s efforts have been sophomoric,” said former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, a Trump ally. “Running ads may have seemed clever, but to someone as sophisticated as Trump, her strategies have been a bit too obvious.”

Jesus Christ, everyone involved has the subtlety of a sugared up eight year old.

Judge is definitely a profession

It was for euthanasia

My internal monologue is written. I see letters (they seem typed, but no recognizable font), but I don’t know what it was before I could read.

The only thing I really hear in my head is intrusive- either ear worms or standard intrusive thoughts, otherwise it’s text.

The food is really good though

I was actually confused because there’s thousands of vegan body builders

Probably at least half of it is water weight, so it might be pretty close to the recommended pound per week
