  • I just tried to think how that would actually work given the orca's inability to build fences on land/what humans would eventually evolve into given the needs of a completely different mindset. Suffice to say, I think I need to stop smoking.

  • And they definitely think you're one of them if you look like it. I remember when the pandemic first was popping off, I just moved to a purple pearl in the middle of arguably the reddest state. I started going bald early, so I shave my head and have a short beard for the appearance of a chin. I was wearing my mask at a local market and some dude turned to me and said "you know you don't have to wear that brother (emphasis both implied, and unsettling real)"

    Like dude, me and you are not on the same side of this, or any other debate. I'm so far left I'd make Bernie blush.

  • Dated a mixed girl in college about the time "Get out" came out. We saw it in theaters, and on the way out she asked me "what is it with white people eating cereal without milk?" And for some reason both this statement and her's are both valid. I say this as a white guy who loves both milk, and eating cereal like snack crisps.

  • Honestly, the only drama I've ever read about him was the n-word on the bridge situation. Now before I migrated to Lemmy I had a decade and half old account on Reddit that got n-word count botted, and even through all the heated debates & drunken shit posting, I never once dropped so much as the -a ending. But I grew up in an area of lower socioeconomic development, and I was the rare super pasty white boy who used it growing up because that was the common vernacular I heard every day. And I was only ever once confronted about it from someone I didn't know. But as I started to grow, mature, and expand my social circle I learned how cringey it was (and I still look back on myself in a sense of embarrassment and disgust to this day). I'm just happy that this was early Myspace days, and there are no videos of it floating around.

    Now I want to make it perfectly clear, I was not an Xbox live chat edgy shit head. This was the language I heard all around me growing up, so it was an honest adoption.

    With that Ted talk out the way. I have only ever seen the bridge video of his, and a late night talk show (Colbert?) interview with him. That is it so I have absolutely no horse in the race. But I do understand how people can grow and change, and it sounds like from what everyone else is saying about him, that he has for the better.
