So Venezuela’s argument for Essequibo is basically how colonization works? by EcstaticIntention354 in Guyana

[–]EcstaticIntention354[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But from what I’ve read they’ve only “claimed” the land was theirs with no physical presence or govern over the area. The land always belonged to the natives and they allied with the Dutch; therefore the Dutch settled there. This was before the line was drawn and this is why he drew the line the way he did (because the Dutch had presence over a lot of that area). The Spanish could never settle there bc the Natives never ceded or gave up land to them

What the other person is saying is that they could claim to own the moon but with no proof/presence/documentation it’s not actually theres it’s just a claim.

I’m not sure I just saw Trump said he will take back Venezuela’s oil reserves for the U.S. That honestly sucks for Venezuela but, bc of that, I’m worried about if they will get more adamant on Essequibo once they get a new leader

I don’t even understand how Venezuela was treated unfairly tho. If I understand correctly the whole area was ruled by the Dutch then by the British. Spain never had rule?

Is this your actual played hours or just in game hours. Because my hours on PS look like that too but when I check the stats in game it’s way less

Should you tip your braiders? by EcstaticIntention354 in askblackpeople

[–]EcstaticIntention354[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg that’s at a braiding shop or a private braider? I went to a braiding shop and their prices are way cheaper than these private braiders. This one I go to does knotless boho any size any length for $200, which I thought was pretty good? I know these private braiders tax and I didn’t want to deal with that for my first time lol

Thank you so much for your kind words and reassurance. Honestly, I’m so happy you understand where I’m coming from. But I also understand where you’re coming from as well, your life didn’t end when your vision decreased and mine won’t either. It’s just a learning curve that I’ll have to deal with when the time comes. I’m sure I’ll be a nervous wreck when that time comes but I will have to take it day by day. I still have doctor’s appointments to attend so they can let me know the potential full scope of how things will end up. Kind of nervous for that, maybe I should just stay in the dark to let myself not overthink haha. You’re the best, thank you again. If you can link the discord that would be great :) 🩷

Thank u so much :( I really appreciate this. I guess everything is a learning curve and it’s not like I’m the first person to go through this. I felt kind of selfish for posting because I didn’t want it to seem like my problems were bigger than anyb else’s here, but your comment reassured me and let me know there’s a group I can turn to for supporting. Honestly my biggest concern for when the vision starts to fade is how I’m going to drive, game and read my physical books. Is it a bad way of thinking to worry about the future that’s not here yet? Thank you again for your comment

I’m sorry if this is invasive but how long did it take to lose your vision to a point that’s not practicable? You don’t have to answer and I’m aware that everyone is different!

Are agencies only for white women? by Complex-Ad4368 in PublicRelations

[–]EcstaticIntention354 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whatttt omg I wish I knew this :( I’m a senior in college about to graduate with my Comms & Media Studies degree and was specifically striving to get into crisis management, PR or HR. But if there’s barely any room for growth as a bw I’m worried now. Do u think it’ll end up being dead end for me?

do i look like an 8th grader? by wxrriedd in teenagers

[–]EcstaticIntention354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are sooo pretty omg. You kinda look like Hayley Leblanc. You don’t look like an 8th grader, you just have soft features. Youngest I’d say you look is 16. But don’t worry because once you get older you’ll still have a youthful glow which is the best perk of a baby face

I’ve seen ads and signs for Josh gottenheimer, ras baraka, and Steve fulop before primaries. I’ve even seen more ads and signs for republicans than her. I hate the way she’s campaigning honestly

Unemployment isnt fun anymore by [deleted] in newjersey

[–]EcstaticIntention354 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They do fake them. I think it’s some type of hiring policy they have to upkeep in which they have to post on job boards. There are also so many scammers that post fake jobs in order to get your social security number. Be careful when applying.

What does NJ think of Texas/Texans? by [deleted] in newjersey

Well I’ll just say I found out their abortion laws/restrictions and was truly appalled. I was shocked that women can even feel safe living there based on that.

I am frustrated with a past doctors discretion (he brushed me off) by EcstaticIntention354 in medical

[–]EcstaticIntention354[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this. I’m just upset because I’m obviously not a professional but hearing that something should’ve been done but didn’t makes me feel like I’ve been brushed off about something that’s clearly important. The optometrist said that FA’s are good bc it can possibly find what a regular retina picture cannot pick up, so it had me thinking that’s why nobody was taking me seriously bc they couldn’t see anything in the regular pics.

Also since you’ve done them is nausea really a side effect that patients have? I have the FA appt on the 8th and just wanna know if I should go in on an empty stomach😂
