TicaVerde , 3 months ago to news in US changes how it categorizes people by race and ethnicity. It's the first revision in 27 years

Yeah definitely that’s how I understood it, but now it sounds like they are categorizing Hispanic as a race not an ethnicity.

I know this isn’t that important in the grand scheme of things, but I will always be confused on what to put for myself. My family comes from Central America (I have dual citizenship), so I should pick Hispanic, right? But my family is also white Hispanic, my cousin’s have a range of blonde and red hair, light eyes. I also have some Asian Hispanics in my family.

Hispanic really isn’t a race and it feels like I’m not supposed to pick it on the census because I don’t have the right skin color.

Whereas someone who does look Hispanic the way people think of, but maybe their family hasn’t lived there for generations, they get to be considered more Hispanic than me. It’s just confusing.

I agree and I also think companies will (or are) going to try more “organic” marketing by going into comments and pretending to be customers and recommend their products.

I thought about that when I went to a new hair salon and in their new customer form one of the questions was “how did you hear about us” and one of the options was Reddit.

I kind of would rather have ads if I had to because they are easier to identify. Now I can’t trust people in the Reddit comments.

If it’s to hang out with friends then those private karaoke rooms are a lot of fun

For a moment I was confusing it for the cancelled Apple show Metropolis…I was really looking forward to that. But now I know this movie exists and am excited for it. I love original epic sci-fi!

This makes me think of the time I went to a haunted maze type place. The friend I was with was pretty terrified (normal reaction) and when one of the costume monsters chased her into a corner with her hiding her face and screaming, a bunch of random people started filming her and putting their phones basically in her face. I yelled at them to leave and they just started filming me.

I just imagine how many YouTube and TikTok videos we are in without us knowing.

TicaVerde , 11 months ago to til in TIL that the first computer programmer was a woman. Her name was Ada Lovelace.

Another interesting tidbit is her father was Lord Byron, the famous poet. He actually abandoned her and her mom after birth. This made Ada become more math oriented since her mom wanted her to be independent and a logical thinker.
