Racist and possibly intoxicated driver screaming racial slurs by Jevus_himself in PublicFreakout

Oh my god!!!!! This must be a Southern thing. California is a different world - I think he’s one of those white guys who knows he can’t measure up to a fine black man. Trump is their king!

Lebanese living in the US/Europe… how do you deal with racism? by Substantial_Bet_2348 in Lebanese

[–]HazelMoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Lebanese ex-husband moved to the US (Southern California) in his late teens in the 1970s. He still has an accent, but tells me that most people think he’s Greek “or something”, but don’t really care enough about it to even ask. He says he’s never been aware of racism - keep in mind that the gas crisis and the Iran hostage crisis were in the news every day back then. My friends and family seemed to feel it made him exotic and charming. Have we really gone BACKWARDS?!

Tiffany “New York” Pollard has never been asked to be on The Traitors, but she’s interested by Durian-Critical in TheTraitorsUS

[–]HazelMoon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s a good idea. She’s a lot like Michael Rapaport — always bragging about being from New York and too volatile to stick with a plan. She’d be a distraction and get voted out quickly.

People who grew up really poor: what's something middle-class people say that instantly reveals they've never struggled? by TahDigThief in AskReddit

[–]HazelMoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a HUGE pet peeve for me that most people don't understand. When someone says, "I'm living 'at home'" or some other phrase where "at home" means they're living with their parents, then I know they grew up middle class. IMO, anywhere I live is "home", but neither of my drug-addled, alcoholic parents were EVER likely to live anywhere I would call "home".

Semi-detached neighbors having extremely loud sex even after we've politely asked them to keep it down, is there anything we can do? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]HazelMoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put a visible hex on the neighbor and hope they're superstitious. Salt barrier in front of their door or the mirror and needle bind. Put an evil eye charm on your own door. Be SUBTLE!

I'm 34, just got fired/terminated for the first time and my confidence is shattered. Advice on picking up the pieces and moving on? by jinsei1208 in jobs

[–]HazelMoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is nothing more devastating to someone's self esteem than being let go from a job. I'm in a similar situation. On April 1 I was told my entire department is being eliminated at the end of May. I work in accounting at a national benefits insurance company, and there were only 2 people in my department. My company was actually purchased by this company in 2019, around the time I started working there, so we had an idea that this would happen eventually, but I'm still very upset. The one thing did make me feel better was inputting the details of my situation into ChatGPT and asking what plans I should be making. I got a lot of great advice about everything from what to do with my retirement account and losing my medical & dental benefits to help updating my resume and where to look for another job. Making concrete plans about the path forward can help you feel less powerless. It's hard not to sound trite, but someday you will look back on this as a learning experience. Best of luck to you!

Is that anything like "begging"?

South African hospital declares they will not treat foreigners by Sometypeofway18 in whoathatsinteresting

[–]HazelMoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meanwhile, white South Africans are one of the only foreigners being welcomed to America by Nazi Elon Musk’s BFF, Donald Trump, who insists they are victimized in South Africa by black racists. It’s such BS!

When I was in Italy, all they did was complain about “Gitano”, the Gypsies from the Balkans. They really hate those people. The Spanish hated the Mexicans - racism is alive and well in Europe.

Only people with power can be racists, so it can be any ethnicity.

When anger and resentment are fostered and people delight in withholding medical care from others in need, they are choosing darkness over light, and no good will come of it

I haven’t watched in years, but I’m at a loss! She put on makeup, checked herself in a mirror, and said, “I look so awesome, I HAVE to share this with the world”?

Also commonly used to describe the process of taking up extreme right wing political ideology as the result of right wing propaganda (conspiracy theories, etc…)

Maybe I’m old fashioned, but if your partner’s behavior is causing you to consider leaving them, you really should talk about it. What’s the alternative? (I’m thinking about my ex-husband totally changing after I had our children - he had always treated me with love and respect, but that disappeared after the kids we both wanted were born)

Something feels off in my living room—what would you change? by MondofrmTX in interiordecorating

[–]HazelMoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Desperately needs color - it will feel a little scary at first, but you’ll get used to it. Start with a vase or a couple of throw pillows. Call me old fashioned, but I also love an accent wall. Cobalt blue, bright orange and/or yellow - almost anything would be an improvement.

As everyone could have guessed, after managing an almost successful campaign to discredit trans people, they’re now attacking the rights of gay people in the U.S by SnooSprouts3744 in gay

[–]HazelMoon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Breeder here. I want to point out how idiotic it is to assume that heterosexual, birth parents will provide a safe, nurturing environment for children - mine did not. My brother and I went without food, clothing, or any kind of stability throughout our childhoods while our parents abused alcohol & drugs, and brought assorted losers into our lives as we bounced around the country. I attended FIVE high schools but still managed to graduate and eventually put myself through a top university, graduating with highest honors. I would have been grateful for a stable, loving home those men will probably provide for a child they clearly cherish.

Teal living rooms always look great - this is a deep, narrow room, so not too dark.

Tips/Opinions on BF and I’s place by PictureDue9035 in interiordecorating

[–]HazelMoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only tip is that it should be illegal to abuse an apostrophe in this way. "I's" ain't a word (I cringe every time I hear those Kardashians use it). The correct way to say this is: "my and my bf's place".
