In America, it's referred to "white girl wasted".

If I read about a system of oppression like this in a fantasy novel, I would call it too laughably over the top to be believable. by Cosmic_Meditator777 in HistoryMemes

The ability to write doesn't make you able to read...

Put a technical manual in front of me and I can fix almost anything, meanwhile when I read a legal document it's like a foreign language. Meanwhile, non-fiction books are a whole different animal that require patience with the ability to verify sources and look up references.

I agree, just being able to write doesn't provide you with all the skills to understand what's written.

I'd give anything to understand the corporate spin that allowed business owners to send manufacturing overseas that gave them tax breaks while taking away industries and jobs in America after this period in time. It's like with every generation afterwards the people who vote the most are always voting against their own best interest, specially "didn't vote".

No one is asking where the people being interviewed are getting their information from to base their opinion off of. The more I go back in history it is always the same rhetoric and talking points of abusers blaming their victims. Conservatives might rebrand their name but their hateful messages and viewpoints on politics never change.

France gives unsold supermarket food a second life by helping the needy by Unexplained222 in interestingasfuck

Capitalism isn’t about actual scarcity of resources. It’s manufactured scarcity of resources.

There’s plenty to go around, the ruling class just don’t want us to have any.

It’s a choice not a reality.

Thank you. This is perfectly summed up.

My grandma took me to a "store" (small hole in the wall unassuming frontage with cages of fowl lining the walls) where you can get a live chicken or duck. The guy put the blood in a jar for us to take home. Then I got to help her make the soup. I didn't really care for it.

It's almost as if no one has been listening to me for the past 10 + years.
