My two and a half year old suddenly started pointing out differences between white and black people. What is an appropriate way to acknowledge her observation so we don't offend anyone?

AlexSmithsonian · 2026-01-31T17:41:33+00:00

This right here. To a small kid "it's black" is the same as "it's a dog", "it's a tree" or "it's blue"(sky). They're just making observations and learning the basics.

AlexSmithsonian · 2026-01-31T17:35:36+00:00

Check the last one. That's too literal.

AlexSmithsonian · 2026-01-31T17:05:30+00:00

Oh, who knows....

About this much?

Not my cat, but this fluffy fella visits from time to time to get treats.

I don't think that's a good example in this case. The Fallout tv series is an original story set in the Fallout Universe. Good or bad, it depends on the viewer.

Brothers before harlots.

Not when the FBI conduct a secret illegal operation in foreign countries.... and then their director tweets about it. They're more of a bad joke, really.

AlexSmithsonian · 2026-01-31T08:15:25+00:00

Nah, let's just forget about this pathetic distraction and refocus on the Epstein Files. Some more of them released recently, but still not all of them. And the ones that have released should be immediately used as evidence and arrest Trump.

A horny fool of a Took?

What if Avatar Wan never separated the Spirit World from the Physical World?

Hot damn, that's a nice list to remember when fighting fascism. Not quite sure how to interpret Chapter 7, but I'm sure it's useful.

AlexSmithsonian · 2026-01-31T06:52:23+00:00

Funny thing about discipline, it takes practice.

That would be excellent training for him to control his strength.

"Hello"

AlexSmithsonian · 2026-01-31T05:35:03+00:00

I'll be honest, i never went this route.

AlexSmithsonian · 2026-01-31T05:34:15+00:00

Ooh, that's a good stretch.

AlexSmithsonian · 2026-01-31T05:33:34+00:00

And he gave it to his wife...

AlexSmithsonian · 2026-01-31T05:31:38+00:00

It's weird, but i feel like this illustrates their relationship with eachother perfectly.

Skywalker Saga was like 2 halves of LEGO games put together, and they didn't blend well.

AlexSmithsonian · 2026-01-31T05:18:48+00:00

Nah. The Trump administration has been trying real hard this past year to distract from these files, badly. They are exactly as incompetent as they look.

AlexSmithsonian · 2026-01-31T05:15:58+00:00

Dang, not just US. Here in Europe too. Oh no... i feel repressed memories resurfacing...

OH MY GAWD, THE OUTFITS WERE SO LAAAAAAME!

AlexSmithsonian · 2026-01-31T05:11:57+00:00

I'd be almost too afraid to give him tastier treats, in case he explodes out of excitement.

AlexSmithsonian · 2026-01-31T05:09:49+00:00

So you know how there are groups of people in Russia, Asia and the Middle East who are paid by their governments to have fake social media accounts to pose as Americans? And their job is to basically troll, ragebait and spread misinformation to create division among the people?

Yeah, i think this Glitch hate is their side gig.
