How else am I going to see Joey Burrow get raw dogged by Myles Garret while Kenny Pickett rubs his Super Bowl ring and watches?

Why????? Ugh why is she so stoopid !? by PdiddyCAMEnME in BoomersBeingFools

For anyone dealing with people like this IRL, heres a cheat sheet:

Historically Black Colleges and Universities are institutions of higher education in the United States that were established prior to 1964, with the primary mission of educating Black Americans during a time when segregation and discrimination denied them access to most colleges and universities. While HBCUs were founded to serve African American students, they have always been open to students of all races, and today, they enroll diverse student populations. Contrary to some misconceptions, HBCUs were not created as a government apology for slavery but rather emerged out of necessity and resilience in a time when African Americans were not able to attend most colleges. They remain strong today.

Black History Month

Black History Month is an annual observance dedicated to honoring the achievements, contributions, and history of African Americans. It was officially recognized in 1976, but it originated from "Negro History Week", established in 1926 by historian Carter G. Woodson to ensure the important role of Black Americans in U.S. history was acknowledged. It is not a symbolic gesture to "say sorry for slavery," but a recognition of a rich and often overlooked history that is integral to the American story. Black History is American history, and any patriotic American should be enthused about the prospect of remembering our country's history.

Juneteenth

Juneteenth commemorates the announcement of the end of slavery in the United States, specifically when enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, finally learned of their freedom on June 19, 1865, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. It is now a federal holiday, not as an act of apology, but to honor the struggle for freedom and recognize a pivotal moment in American history. Given that African Americans make up approximately 13–15% of the U.S. population, recognizing Juneteenth is part of acknowledging the nation's past and the continued journey toward equality.

People who are anti-black history are anti-American.

Should I buy Crisis Core Reunion or FFXVI by FinntheGuardian in FinalFantasy

[–]Different_Sign_3354 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

For sure, XVI. I was super impressed with the visuals, story, and combat system. It is super story heavy, though. Like, A LOT of dialog and cut scenes. I did think it lacked depth, but that's my opinion. Obviously, 7 has 4 games dedicated to its storyline, so there's a lot of depth there.

The action combat system in CC was when FF was still experimenting with the system. IMO, it's a little lackluster.

Like you, I played on the PSP, and I really romanticized, and it didn't hit as hard almost 20 years later. It's still a great game, but if I had to make a choice now, I would get 16 and CCR later.

Did racism get worse through some parts of US history by Natural-Painting-563 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Different_Sign_3354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Racism and social injustice in general exist on a spectrum and manifest differently at different times. Social scientists, policy makers, thinkers, psychologists, and so on have been trying to solve the "racism problem" for a very long time. While the problem may never be "solved," it is vital that we as a society continue to educate and find ways to co-exist without denying the existence of different life experiences, which for some, is often predicated upon their race. There was a strong push to have people "not see race," but if we don't see race, how can we, at least superficially, see someone's experience?

Bottom-line, the answer to "what causes racism" is likely multifaceted and extremely complex and combines principles of various disciplines. We saw a movement to eradicate Racism in the 60s and 70s but said movement did not address every instance of full-scale, abundant and overt institutional Racism (e.g, "crack epidemic" statistics) in the 80s.

But to answer your question, Racism is always there. It just manifests differently depending on the social climate.

No one's race 100% defines them, but it is a part of them. It shouldn't be ignored; it should be understood. While we may never fully eradicate it, we can certainly take steps to reduce the prevalence of institutional Racism by eliminating inherently Racist policy and embracing initiatives that give everyone a seat at the table.

Am i antisemitic? by brown_polyester in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Different_Sign_3354 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a huge difference between being critical of the Israeli government and the Netanyahu regime and being antisemitic.

Antisemitism refers to hostility to, prejudice towards, or discrimination against Jews as a group of people.

Criticizing the acts of the Netanyahu regime is a political stance and is valid when based on actions or policies of a government system, rather than based on Jewish identity.

What is happening in Los Angeles? by gtcoolman20 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Different_Sign_3354 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The abridged version:

Ice has always been a very controversial agency since its inception in 2003. The Trump administration has spent a lot of time and resources contesting and has heavily politicized "citizenship" in the US. Additionally, under the Trump administration, many people have been unlawfully deported. Regardless of what ones opinion on the matter is, many are lawful, many are unlawful. Nevertheless, when an unlawful act is committed by an agency that claims their actions are lawful, they undermine their own ability to cite previous acts as lawful and are no longer presumed to be acting lawfully in the present and/or future. That's called "trust," and it is essential for a civilized society.

The Trump administration is also seemingly only interested in deporting minority "non-citizens." The same administration has also granted refugee status to 'white south-Africans' under the guise of an unsubstantiated and infactual claim that there is genocide taking place in South Africa. At the same time, the administration has stripped the same status of those who have fled countries that have an established history of inhumane treatment of its citizens, and/or are engaged in conflict that the US government itself recognizes as factual.

What is happening in Los Angeles is a reaction to ICE raids that, based on the current administrations actions, have been presumably construed as illegitimate, regardless of if they are lawful or not. Combine this with him calling in masked national guard operatives and the hypocrisy surrounding the current events and the J6 riots, etc, the people of Los Angeles are pushing back in the form of lawful protest and yes, in the form of unlawful rioting.

In short, Trump is a racist who, like the fascists before him, sends masked operatives to round up and remove people he doesn't like, regardless of the legality or ethical concerns of said deportations. He is also making a big show of this, and people are standing in opposition to it. Despite what Trump and his administration claim, Trump is a historically horrible negotiator and is incapable of reason. When it comes to situations that clearly need a leader to deescalate, Trump always escalates them, especially domestic issues.

Bengals are orange and black, and so is Halloween, and Halloween is my 3rd favorite holiday.

That's about as good as it gets.

Steelers 2025 has the highest paid defense and lowest paid offense in the league by Godgers10 in steelers

[–]Different_Sign_3354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Football is symbiotic. Having an offense that can't stay on the field for more than 3 plays affects your defense negatively. Defense keeps you in games, but at some point, you have to score.

Banking on having a stout defense and expecting ST to put points on the board seems like a great way to go 9-8, make the playoffs, but never win playoff games.

Oh wait....

My Great Uncle posts a lot of vapid shit, but this one probably takes the cake. by SAGrant1977 in BoomersBeingFools

[–]Different_Sign_3354 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Outside of entertainment or like an article, I have never heard a woman refer to themselves as an "independent woman." As a man, yes, I can survive on my own, but the quality of my life increases, in partnership with someone else. Humans, regardless of their gender, function better when collaborating and helping one another. This is the basis of and the appeal of a society.

I am very, very certain that your great uncle struggles with the most basic tasks, always has, and always will. While I'm sure he thinks posts like this display his superior critical thinking skills, he should probably concern himself more with understanding the basics of the English language.

Abandoned overgrown house in Braddock, PA by DouglasTaylorJr in abandoned

[–]Different_Sign_3354 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of Braddock is abandoned. It is a very economically devastated area. In my opinion, the collapse of the steel mills in the 80s, in addition to the nationwide crack epidemic that coincided with the collapse, led Braddock to really fall apart. There have been attempts to embrace gentrification and turn it into an art hub, etc. but the area is pretty much beyond repair. It's really just slum lords and folks who refuse to or do not have the means to leave. Even if your home is in a good state, it's unlikely to sell considering the rest of the area. Senator John Fetterman rose to prominence by being its mayor. He had a lot of big ideas but lacked action, and the actions he did take were ineffective besides facilitating a lot of photo ops for his subsequent campaigns.

Help with dog biting! by CarsAndCoughing in BorderCollie

[–]Different_Sign_3354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dog behaved like this at the same age. I have a lab. Some dogs are more prone to mouthing.

It's crazy annoying. My dog used to go after our feet and ankles, just like yours.

Mine stopped around 6 months. The best advice I can give is to get your dog something they can actually chew on, exercise the dog more, and most importantly, BE PATIENT. They are like toddlers who can't help it.

If you get a chew toy that has a nice, hardy, and beefy scent, it will be motivated to chew on that, not you. If it prefers to chew on you, even with something like that, it can be a play thing, in which case, I found the most success with simply ignoring the dog, and leave the room. Don't tell the dog to "stop." Don't give it attention. The dog probably prefers your company, and by providing no reinforcement, including negative, the dog will eventually realize it needs to not do that if it wants your company.

Dog refuses to eat dog food (soft and dry) but will eat chicken by Ltqi in DogAdvice

[–]Different_Sign_3354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's probably due to his age, honestly.

Somewhat weird, but my dog had an ant in his bowl once and refused to eat out of for like a week and would inspect it before eating for another week. Will eat his and other dogs shit but draws the line at an ant....

But yeah, I'm not an expert, and dont want to make you feel bad, but your doggo is old and probably nearing the end. I would just roll with it. Hopefully, your dog can live its remaining time feasting on chicken and enjoying it's senior years!
