Yep the world is all kinds of fucked up haha. But you do what you can with what you've got I guess

Having grown up where David Duke also lives, ambiguously failing the paper bag test, and coming of age during 9/11, I encountered a wide variety of racial insults. Many of them involved the n-word.

The most memorable one for me happened after the orator learned that I was neither black, Arabic, Hispanic, Italian, nor Asian.

"Oh you're Hawaiian? I heard you Island N-words don't even sing the National Anthem."

The other aggressors as well as my friends burst into laughter at how ridiculously stupid his statement sounded. Even his buddy was like, "Hawaii is a state you fucking idiot."

The encounter ended and we all moved on but I still laugh when it pops into my head

My nephew joined the Marines, wanting to be in infantry. His recruiter spent months fixing his brain and convinced him to pursue avionics instead. Really smart kid and he's finally understanding how he's setting himself up well when he gets out. He's still in B or C school or whatever it's called.

I still use Instagram to keep up and chat with friends and Facebook only because my kid's school only posts there

I've been watching One Piece (the anime) for a couple of months now and, while I know that it's shonen, watching the obviously badass female characters suddenly turn into sexy wimps is consistently disappointing.

Yeah didn't this come up as a clickbait non-issue last year?

I don't think that necessarily puts you in Mystery Box territory. JJ would just change it to fit whatever he wants to say at the moment. Think of it more as a currently-unknown variable that will logically reveal itself to you as you continue building the setting outside.

"We just don't know about what happened in Ohio, but it had to be cordoned off."

PS You should check out East of West by Image Comics.

My gramps used to think even looking at his cars was asking permission to drive or touch them. "Nein!"

He was gregarious at all other times, but "don't go in my fucking garage"

My niece had this same issue a few years ago but with Photoshop. It absolutely ruined her. Changed schools multiple times (public and private) but social media exists so all the kids knew. She ended up getting homeschooled for the last 5 years of school as well as a fuckload of therapy. She came out the other side okay but she has massive trust issues and anxiety

Ok I'm very late to One Piece but I've been bingeing hard for a couple weeks and at ep ~ 550. I'm sure this has been discussed for years already ... Why are Nami's boobs steadily getting bigger and bigger? I don't get it.

I loved it so much I spent literal hours watching other people react to it. Now my feed is permanently riddled with that garbage content format

I still Google reddit threads for stuff I know will exist there already. DIY, software, niche things. It can't be helped because it's easily accessible. While I appreciate Lemmy very much, the historical repository that is reddit still trumps many other places. For now.

I don't visit for any other reason.
