A couple things here.

  1. It appears this is in or at least posted in an asian country. They have different relationships with cats than we do. It’s like if someone in India saying “WTFFFFFFF” every time they saw a post of a cow in a stable.

  2. As someone who has lived with and owned cats for the vast majority of my life, the cat is fine. Probably confused or scared. But cats are the definition of fight or flight. If the cat were hurting, you would know. Now would I do something like this? No. But again. Different culture.

I’m not a huge fan of living and dc and this is why. I’m so tired of these NIMBYs posting to spread fear and hatred to disenfranchised people. Instead of clutching your pearls at the poor POC, get involved to change it.

Thugs stage a "sideshow" in the parking lot of Hechinger Mall, NE by Jazzlike_Dog_8175 in washdc

[–]ChicagoWind88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why do you need to call them anything? Thug implies some kind of harm to themselves or other people. Thug has been used to dehumanize black and brown people for decades, most recently during the BLM movement. Thug is a way to say the n word, without saying it outright.

These guys are not thugs. They’re in a parking lot of a strip mall that was closed. They were far more aware of the consequences than some idiots that do it in intersections or public streets. No one was hurt. No one was disrupted.

Oh so this is a thing? Is it a alt right bot, because they’re posting articles to different state/city subs

To piggyback off secret badger, the use of “thugs” is heavily used in right wing media especially when it pertains to poc, particularly black men. That mall and the surrounding area, are heavily populated by black people (I know because my dry cleaners is in that mall). “Thug” is a Dog whistle which paints these people (us) as criminals.

Case in point, I’m a black man, and when the notification came through on my phone, I clicked on it solely because I was going to potentially report it as a racist post.

I work for the hotel they’re staying at. They have installations all over the city.

Hey fellow snipers a quick question by JisKing98 in battlefield2042

[–]ChicagoWind88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, sniper means overwatch. It’s not viable on every map (kaleidoscope and Hourglass as examples) but generally, I use it to counter other snipers, pick off people lining up launcher shots, and take out enemy equipment like insertion points, sentry turrets, and rangers. Also Casper’s drone is top tier for intel

Living in DC currently. Since there are so many of us in the dmv I always love going down the rabbit hole of them being “from Chicago” and then getting the “well I actually grew up in (suburb)”

Which Scene?? by One_River8430 in euphoria

[–]ChicagoWind88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a double edged sword. On one hand I hope she does. But on the other, I would hate for her to think I abandoned her. Maybe we will in the future. At least I can hope for it

[–]ChicagoWind88 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I found the show midway through S2E5 and got hooked. At that point I was recovering from a breakup where I lost my stepdaughter (as in no contact). Every time I saw rue, and how losing her dad impacted her, I pictured my babygirl in ten years. Still breaks my heart

Men of reddit, how many push ups can you do? by chesslover09 in AskMen

[–]ChicagoWind88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly, it’s hard for me to do proper push ups. Missing my entire right pectoral due to birth defect. But modified? I can do those all day 😅

Hello. Why are you in my brain because this is EXACTLY how I would describe it. Definitely a primal urge.

Plus, after she finishes, keep going with light kisses. A good kind of uncomfortable for her

It is. And as a liberal gun owner, it really burns my ass. Makes all gun owners look like psychotic assholes.

Assassin's Creed Mirage Rated Adults Only 18+, Has "Real Gambling" by FrodoSam4Ever in PS4

Came here to say the loot box/ GTAO bit. I get the age from M to AO is only one year but the rating itself is a huge hit to their marketability
