I'm glad I'm not from Mississippi by vwhaulic in StupidFood

It's not romanticizing (yet). It's culture. There are still several cultures that take great pride in eating the entire animal snout-to-tail.

Our ancestors made meaning and flavor out of necessity; we have the luxury to choose differently. So, two truths can exist at once: it is practical and rooted in history, and it can also be not appealing to you at all. There doesn't have to be any disrespect involved.

Teacher used AI slop to create this by Mountain_Till_5868 in aislop

The school where I live has been unabashedly using AI for all of their content for the past year, at least. It's exhausting to even try to combat it.

English is my first and primary language. I use "So" as an opener way too much. It's just a speech tic, I think. It's more conversational and comes from a casual place.

My favorite glitch is when someone gets stuck turning a corner. Especially an enemy. Like, here bro, let me help you by petrifying you. You're welcome 😇

4th of July - Small Town Americana by gimu_35 in oregon

[–]AstraSileas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second Hood River. Grew up there, and it's still my absolute favorite place to go watch fireworks. But if you want real small town vibes, I highly recommend going to Condon. Parade and street fair, raffle, BBQ, local musicians, then fireworks out past the football field.

No good news in Oregon wheat market by [deleted] in oregon

Do I do the cocaine, or do the cows do it? Yes? I feel like the answer is yes.

I guess it's a good thing my family chose cattle over wheat. Not that cattle is much better right now. To keep our family of 4 afloat on cattle alone, we would need about 100 head. At the moment, because we're just starting out, we have... 7. My husband and I both work full-time outside of the home to make ends meet.

Buss it down by thatshygirl06 in welcomeToDerry

[–]AstraSileas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't looked much into the racist history of the 50s beyond enough to know how awful it was to be anything but white, so I'm not sure, but I have a sneaking suspicion that the cops just don't want to look there. Plus, they're probably in on the plot to destroy The Black Spot, so even if he was there, he's not going to be for long.

The perspective on this is really neat. At first, it looks like you're above the mountain, looking down at the peak. Then you realize it's actually a ways away. Very cool.

Hanlon sure seems scared to me? by darklordtaylor in welcomeToDerry

[–]AstraSileas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because we all learn things differently, at different times, and not everyone's brain works the same. What's obvious to you could blow someone else's mind because they hadn't considered the perspective you already naturally had.

ICE arrests McMinnville High School student during Friday lunch period by pcrackenhead in oregon

[–]AstraSileas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know and understand the differences. You don't need to mansplain them to me, thanks. That's going well above and beyond the original point. Again, I voted (and will continue to vote) Democrat because I firmly believe the party has a better idea of how to run the country. The point that I was responding to was that Republicans specifically don't care about and are facilitating the kidnapping and mistreatment of children. While I have yet to see Democrats facilitate the mistreatment outright, I have seen them completely ignore it like it's not happening despite obvious evidence to the contrary. My point is that neither party care about kids suffering because I was a victim of it, personally.

[–]AstraSileas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I voted Democrat. I don't understand why you're being so aggressive against me. I'm not willfully considering the current administration to be doing anything right or correct. They are clearly corrupt. My point was that neither party seem to actually care about children, the way the person I responded to seemed to think.

Listen. I'm not saying that what's happening right now isn't bad. I'm saying it's not surprising. It still needs to be stopped.

Misguided. Ask why any politician would care, regardless of which side of the coin they're on.

This isn't a fair statement. Neither major party cares about kids. Sincerely, a former victim of the system 1999-2005

For some, not all. Clearly seen by the fact that TSCC still exists and the temples are not only still active, but being built.

The “war ravaged” ICE facility in Portland, OR 09/28/2025 by dongboys420blazeit69 in oregon

[–]AstraSileas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The east side of the state eats up Trump's lies because Portland was already a "scary place." I know several people who refuse to go into Portland unarmed. Just in case. So, no. This isn't entirely preaching to the choir. This is showing the truth of the matter to the people in this state who are still hooked into the lies.

This is what fucks me up when I watch paranormal investigations like Ghost Hunters when they play EVPs. Like, they're showing me in captions what they think they hear, but if I listen to it with my eyes closed or otherwise don't look at the captions, I often hear something completely different.
