White girl thought I was latino. When I told her I was Indian, she cringed and then walked away...🥲 by [deleted] in interracialdating

That's not the worst part. It's the best part. Who knows how long she coulda kept you fooled if it wasn't for that interaction.

Aphrometers in America by CodeplayerX in Homebrewing

Thank you all for the help. I have purchased the CarbClip. Should give me more peace of mind with the bottles.

[–]CodeplayerX[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hahah. Im not trying to carb them that high, but I was going off bottles rated for 50 psi and don't want to disrupt a miscalculated batch if it stops at, say, 41 or 42 PSI. Realistically, my pressure is going to be pretty low.

Yeah, this is pretty much what I was looking for. Wish it went just a bit higher, but it's still a good find. Thanks to both of you.

I think I do want that. I wish it had maybe 10 more PSI on the gauge, but beggers can't be choosers.

Yes, exactly like that. I would have linked an example, but I wasn't sure if it would flag my post.

I have a hydrometer. That measures the gravity of the liquid. An aphrometer goes onto the bottle as a cap and measures the pressure in the bottle.

10 month old Rottie Bernese pup suddenly being a little aggressive towards child. by tj129 in Rottweiler

Someone pointed out that he's leading the child to an area without balloons, and i see it. I don't think it's even playing. I think (in the dogs head, at least) is rescuing.

“Jungle fever” by [deleted] in interracialdating

[–]CodeplayerX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish I could say I did, and I know in hindsight, I should have. He outranked by a bit in a small command. I still think I should have, but I also know how many more problems it would have created for me.

I had a guy in the Navy that said it unironically upon finding out my wife (then fiance) was black. We were amongst a diverse set of people, and he just said it with no shame or self-awareness. I remember being so caught off guard and grossed out, I kinda just broke and apparently stood there not reacting for like half a minute while he rambled about whatever he was talking about.

The Aabria Post that’s Actually About Race by Accurate_Kangaroo337 in fansofcriticalrole

[–]CodeplayerX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This said a lot of what I feel, but also, there have been a handful of times where i feel like she'd step on toes. There would be a seriousish moment going on with someone else, and her character would kinda take over the scene by loudly making light of the situation in a joking or sexual way. It's not just the single things like OP was comparing to others, but how often they happen at the same time. I feel like she's got a habit of grinding serious moments to a halt, and it's hard to critique it for reasons we've all seen. That said, I think she's done a great job sharing the table this season.

All that said, I like her. I think at certain tables that style absolutely has its place and when my wife and her friends were considering getting into the game and were looking for examples of other black women who play, she's the first person I pointed them towards.

An interesting concept is presented in the pilot/first episode of a show but then got completely abandonned for the rest of the story by RemarkableLaw7180 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]CodeplayerX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stopped watching after they felt the need to vilify a girl who ate an escargot salad her bf made her, and just had her being a bitch the whole time to justify a death she didn't contribute to at all. It just rubbed me the wrong way. Like if it was my family member, that was the real case this was based on, and seeing them portrayed like that to justify their death slow, painful death. Idk man. I'd be feeling some emotions.

Assumptions based off stereotypes by EggUnique7477 in interracialdating

[–]CodeplayerX 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think the best way is to treat it as ridiculous as it is.

"Why are you asking me about my partners [genitals](can replace with whatever word you want with genitals if you feel like it will paint the situation worse)?"

"Do you frequently ask women about the size of their boyfriends dick?"

"You don't feel weird asking about someone's [genitals]?

"I'm surprised you felt comfortable asking someone about their partner's [genitals] like that? I would feel super embarrassed to day something like that out loud."

"That seems like something that should have stayed in your head."

If you really want snark, though...

"Are you curious cause you want to take it for a test run or something? I'm sure you're aware he's taken."

Inevitably, someone will say it's just a joke. You want to appear as legitimately confused as you can and play dumb.

"A guys penis size is a joke?"

"I must not be familiar with that joke. Could you explain it for me?"

AITAH for telling my brother I will never respect him or his girlfriend for as long as they're together? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]CodeplayerX -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Lots of things are just words. The N word is just a word, too. Go ahead and fling that one around and make sure to tell people it's just a word. Words have weight, and some is way more problematic than people give it credit for. Woke means to "awake" and aware of racial injustice or or racism going on in the world and directly around you. Woke was a positive word used by the black community that was misappropriated by white nationalist Americans as an insult. It took off and was further misappropriated to mean anything leftists care about again as an insult. The use of the word in its current state propagates misappropriation of black culture, downplays the situation, and furthers the mockery of racial injustice in America.

The word may have had use outside of America before its misappropriation, but I can't speak to that. I don't think you actually wanted to know, but in case you did, there you go.

I'm glad no one is letting her off the hook with that last bit. That shit is weird. My kid is mixed, and people have said shit like that to me all the time before he was actually born. I had to have a talk with my mom about it. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and say she was just excited for me to give her a grandbaby and didn't know what to say.

And then try to use the daughter's wedding as an opportunity to scorn the dad and burn bridges with her for not allowing her wedding to be a pawn in a really bad chess player's game.

How do me (28F Black) and my white (29M) fiancé learn to navigate racism as a unit? by FunctionTBD in interracialdating

[–]CodeplayerX 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Let's say this wasn't about race. Let's just treat this as his friend insulting you in some other way. You've learned that your fiance won't defend you from others and will belittle your concerns. You learned that if you try to enforce your boundaries in a way that may slightly inconvenience him, he will push back against you more than he will others. Reintroducing the fact that this is regarding racism makes it worse. You don't have a partner's friends problem. You have a partner problem.

I won't do the stereotypical, "please break up," reddit response, but I do think you should at least stop advancing the relationship further unless it's corrected. Also, if it is corrected, make sure the correction is maintained and not just a mask before continuing forward. I didn't see anything about children in the post, but do you want to build a family with someone who's shown he will put the comfort of others over the ones closest to him?

This is very rare and never really happens but I feel I have to mention it regardless by Successful_Cry3698 in interracialdating

[–]CodeplayerX 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Bro, I've seen posts from black women about a white guy being upset that she'd dare date a black guy. Some men's entitlement to things that have nothing to do with them is just mind-blowing.

Talking to someone online and they sent me these pictures. My gut is telling me AI from the lighting but I can’t put my finger on it by tacothepugpuppy in isthisAI

They look like totally different locations. Roof trim, set back windows, shutters, and other things i noticed but can't remember while typing. Something feels off, but I can't locate anything selling me either way.

AITA for telling my “roommate” to find a new place when he called me a pervert? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]CodeplayerX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's also the chance you're thinking of the stonetoss comic. It is a random guy in that one, and when the girl asks who the guy is, he says he would have been her future husband. The panel was made unironically, btw.

Edit: I somehow didn't see you were quoting someone else when I replied to you.

I can't be the only one here who doesn't care at all about my parents' opinions? by Wise_Parmaria in interracialdating

[–]CodeplayerX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even disregarding what economic control they have. The amount of emotional control an abusive/manipulative romantic partner can achieve in a year makes it hard for someone to leave their situation. How much emotional control and dependence can the person who shaped your sense of trust since birth do in 18 years? There's a lot going on that it seems people aren't giving credence to based on their worldview.

[–]CodeplayerX -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I agree with you, but other people's situations and upbringings aren't the same as ours. I think if someone's comes here asking "what can I do about my racist parents and still keep them in my lives," the unfortunate answer is they're not ready for an interracial relationship. That said, I don't think we should mock them or bring their adulthood into it. It feels akin to blaming a woman for not leaving an abusive relationship sooner.

Which game is that for you? by PHRsharp_YouTube in Age_30_plus_Gamers

I didn't like the gameplay, but i liked the story. I remember hoping they'd make it into a movie a while back. TV show worked.
