This is just a Denny’s ad and I know this because I worked there for more than 10 years and we used these exact pictures for probably that entire time.

garbagebagel ,

But winRAR is free anyway

I was listening to this podcast that had an ad for a government system to help out people experiencing substance use (specifically alcohol) issues…directly followed by a government liquor store ad. In every single episode.

garbagebagel ,

Me too thanks

garbagebagel ,

Me failing a perception check six (6!) times in a row

garbagebagel ,

Ok but the way this worked out

garbagebagel ,

In the UK they actually refer to Indians and South Asian people as Asians regularly, and Asians as East Asian (I think?).

Had like a full 10 minute conversation with someone where he was like “yeah you know that Asian kid you hang out with” and I thought he was losing it because there were no (east) Asian kids in our very small university.

garbagebagel ,

Regardless though, wouldn’t that count as distracted driving? Or is that not against the law in the states?

Shout out to that time when I was like 11 and tried to download a lil bow wow song and my sister and I were greeted with a full screen p-in-v POV amateur porn on the family computer.

garbagebagel ,

I mean, there’s plenty of billionaires so it doesn’t have to be both at the same time.

garbagebagel ,

I agree that we shouldn’t misgender people or intentionally call them by the wrong name, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with pointing out the hypocrisy of their political stance.

Republicans are actively persecuting people are transgender and foreigners (or people who sound like foreigners), so to point out how they are being hypocritical is not all that out of line imo.

garbagebagel ,

I’d do a tradesies and go live in one of those commie European countries with universal healthcare and education

garbagebagel ,

Ok but only because of that prozzac song lol

garbagebagel ,

I didn’t get the reference but I just thought the comment was funny. (I’m old but just not familiar with a lot of things)

garbagebagel ,

Idk this is probably about the most entertaining thing I’ve seen from this whole Reddit debacle and I’m kind of here for it.

garbagebagel ,

Outside of Lemmy it might be

garbagebagel ,

*unless you also meant freedom of expression or freedom of bodily autonomy

garbagebagel ,

Idk about that, dying sounds like a medical name.

I need to wake up early (lemmy.world)

All the vibrating alarm clocks I could find do not sync with your phone, and have to be set manually. I thought about getting an Arduino, but then I will have to build the whole thing by myself. The only logical conclusion I could come up with is to get a programable vibrator. But most of them are either very expensive of look...

garbagebagel ,

And honestly if they’re looking for affordability, I have a $25 mi fit (or at least that’s what it cost when I bought it 6 years ago) that has the same functionality. The app for it is shit, but it does the job.

garbagebagel ,

But also, even hetero monogamous people can call the people they’re dating partners… I don’t see her logic there.

garbagebagel ,

Thank you for the breakdown. I’m very genuinely curious about this cultural bed sharing thing but the only thing I’m finding is that it’s common amongst family, not with guests. (I’m not questioning you, I’m just actually curious about this)

Another question - do you mean to say that you don’t think cultural genocide is a thing (whether in this situation or not)? Cause it’s definitely a facet of regular genocide, even genocide-lite.

garbagebagel ,

Yeah but cultural genocide (ethnocide) doesn’t refer to just kill off parts of a culture. It’s a systemic approach, usually backed by law, to destroy the entire ethnicity and cultural norms.

Take for example what the Canadian government calls the cultural genocide of indigenous people in Canada. Their intention was not to kill the parts of indigenous culture that they didn’t like, but it was forced assimilation through legal action and through removing children from their culture. It was remove/ban/destroy all indigenous culture - very “kill the Indian and save the man”. That is cultural genocide.

In your example, the “destruction” of racism in American culture was not led by a government and not led against any ethnic group directly. Nobody was taking Confederate kids away from their family to teach them the “right” way.

Yes cultures change and adapt, but ethnocide is the very intentional move to do everything possible to destroy that culture. Will it adapt? Sure, yes, indigenous cultures have been extremely resilient and survived in Canada. but to say that it wasn’t cultural genocide is to ignore the fact that children were literally ripped from their families in order to stop them from practicing their culture, or that cultural meetings and even just any type of meeting within their own groups was outlawed.

Indian children should be withdrawn as much as possible from the parental influence, and the only way to do that would be to put them in central training industrial schools where they will acquire the habits and modes of thought of white men.

That’s a quote from our first prime minister. That is what I mean when I say cultural genocide.

Cultural genocide is intentional. And much of the time, as I mentioned before, it is a facet of violent genocide because it leads to deaths and multigenerational trauma. Even if the government wasn’t going in and killing people en masse and intentionally - which is how genocide is technically defined - there’s no way that this is not a type of genocide.

garbagebagel ,

That was an example, but it doesn’t necessarily need to be taking the children away. “Re-education” with the intent to remove someone’s ethnical/cultural background is cultural genocide. The idea of “kill the Indian and save the man”, in this case would be like “kill the Uighur and save the person”. But I don’t know enough about the specifics in China and I’m not arguing that what they’re doing is specifically cultural genocide, I’m just saying that cultural genocide is real and does occur.

And I very strongly disagree that the civil war was cultural genocide. Just because the majority of the people who were on the losing side were white doesn’t mean they were targeted indiscriminately JUST for being white (that’s the key difference here). They were not targeted because of the way they looked or the language they spoke or where they were born. Racism and oppression are not cultural or human rights.

Equating white American culture to the racism that specifically Confederate and Neo-N*zis were and continue to advocate for is very much “I’m German so the swastika is my heritage” vibes.

My parents at 24: oh shit you’re pregnant better get married

Me at 32 living in sin and child free: is another plant too much responsibility?

garbagebagel ,

Careful now, the bull gonna come after you for choosing the bear

garbagebagel ,

There’s also serial killers that were/are very charismatic and social.

garbagebagel ,

Isn’t this an episode of black mirror?

garbagebagel ,

Had to keep rereading because my brain kept seeing “toy dildo grabber”

garbagebagel ,

My best friend is my tracker. If someone asks me my number, I have to check with her because I can never be sure.

garbagebagel ,

Yes both thanks

garbagebagel ,

Que embarazo

Actually we just finished our switch from Skype to Teams and honestly, as much as I love having GIFs to express my disdain for work, at least Skype could group chats, didn’t require all the RAM in the world, and automatically saved chats which, in a records management hellscape was an absolute lifesaver. Also my headphones would automatically answer a call when I put them on my head but I have a feeling that has more to do with the settings than anything else.

Also I’m tired of having to tell people “no we can’t do that because Microsoft hasn’t integrated that very valuable and highly requested feature you’re asking for”

garbagebagel ,

I’m mostly sex repulsed but I find giving oral way more manageable than penetrative sex. Mostly I just don’t like being touched but yes like someone else said, knowing that you’re causing the pleasure for someone else is the appealing part of it. Especially if they’re vocal about it.

garbagebagel ,

Do you mean like intrusive thoughts that we normally stop, or is there a different part that we’re not even aware of?

garbagebagel ,

I asked my 101-year-old grandma what her favourite part about the last 100 years was, and she said “my cats”. Iconic.

garbagebagel ,

Tough to change his perspective

garbagebagel ,

Bruh what the fuck did trans people/trans allies have to do with the circumstances that created these issues? Stop using them as a scapegoat.

Anti homelessness is very real and very obvious but I’ve never seen a fucking pride parade advocating for the removal of safe spaces for the unhoused. I do regularly see politicians advocating for that shit though.

garbagebagel ,

In my experience, the politicians that are out there passing laws to criminalize homelessness are usually the ones that are more outspoken against the rights of LGBTQ people. In any case, trans people’s existence has nothing to do with anti homeless laws. Stop trying to conflate the two.

garbagebagel ,

Your story made me think of my own story where my cat got stuck down a tree because we used to live in an apartment on the 4th floor and he’d hang out on the patio, but the little shit figured out he could hop over to the giant evergreen next to us and walk down the branch and down the tree, only problem is he was heavy and the branch lowered when he climbed on it, so he could not get back up to the patio. Thankfully found him downstairs after a few hours confused af.

This was many years ago now and I have since learned all the dangers of kitties exploring outside and our cats do not get unsupervised time outside anymore.

garbagebagel ,

That was my first thought but then I realized that if I, a 30-something year old old person, understand every word of it, it’s gotta be a lil sus.

garbagebagel ,

I mean, holler also means contact me so it could be that, it would just sound a little silly. Not like holla at ya boi

garbagebagel ,

It also fucks with the quality of videos to the point where they are unwatchable if you have an android

garbagebagel ,

Yeah I definitely didn’t learn to cook at all from home ec. I remember sowing more though and I did learn the basics at least there but it was reinforced in my house, whereas cooking was not as much, so I can’t really tell if it stuck because it was a home thing too.

I think things like, what we called tech Ed that sounds like your industrial arts, was really more about introducing kids to the concepts and they could find out if it was something they were into. Most people would never attempt or maybe even know how to attempt woodworking if not introduced in school.

garbagebagel ,

I guess you got a point there hobbywise but I was thinking more like if they’re thinking about college and whatnot, if those activities are something they enjoyed in high school they might consider going into internship or trades for that kind of thing.

garbagebagel ,

Bruh

garbagebagel ,

And every single one of those is accurate

garbagebagel ,

This isn’t new to this generation though, I remember my friend wore a Poison shirt that she bought at Bluenotes when we were like 12 and neither of us even knew it was a band until like a year later when someone gave her shit for wearing it. It was just a cool shirt man, blame capitalism not the kids.
