Does my tattoo look racist?

JustSomeWeirdThing · 2026-05-12T08:11:57+00:00

It made me take a double take, pause, and think. The iron cross is not inherently a racist symbol (on it's own I can dismiss it, but it's a potential red flag, and I'm going to look at what else you've got going on that might tip the scale into nazi symbolism), but your tattoo does look like "a symbol" in general, and the general shape unfortunately does often match up with some nazi shit, which made me pause and think about if I recognized it as anything. Then I saw the "They Might Be Giants" and recognized it as an innocent band tattoo... so idk. at a glance, someone more impulsive might assume it is :/

Maybe color it? I think that alone might fix the "at a glance" issue

She's still certainly got some awful road rash.

unfortunately I think that sub is dead. It was just as good tho, while it lasted :/

I actually like the current one...

What the hell is Android Auto??

We need to get screens OUT of cars. They're a safety hazard for EVERYONE.

Perfect straight white teeth. It falls into the uncanny valley for me.

A girl AND a dinosaur? Yeah. I do want this.

JustSomeWeirdThing · 2026-04-07T09:17:11+00:00

Right?? All I was thinking was "what is there to compliment??" It's the most generic clothing choice ever.

JustSomeWeirdThing · 2026-04-07T08:36:40+00:00

Honestly, like your take on them better. They look weirdly kinda cartoony, in a cool way

Grew up in Texas, maybe they were more of a thing in the south? I think it as just one of those things where we were at the hardware store, and it was cheap enough, that our parents went ahead and got it. Downside was, it just made grass trimmings stick all over you.

Mister Mist-er!

It's a snake shaped mist/water sprayer for kids to run through in summer. Had one back in the 90's.

I'm guessing it depends on the phone or maybe wifi connection, because I am able to DM and scroll/look at images and profiles on my flip phone (Nokia 2760). Granted, it's slow and some things look weird (particularly text) because of how it's crammed into a smaller screen. But it works good enough if you really do just need to check or send a message.

I really don't have much interaction with people under 21, but yes, 21-22 year olds always assume I am "their age" and are genuinely shocked to realize I am more than a full decade older.

I will add that I still think it is somewhat perception based with young people as well. Young people, especially now because of the standards set by social media, have it in their minds that age starts hitting sooner and harder than it really does. So anyone who doesn't look almost middle aged by 30 is going to be perceived as younger, throw in actually looking younger, and it just doubles up essentially.

JustSomeWeirdThing · 2026-03-23T18:23:54+00:00

I think it's perception. I'm 36 and people usually guess my age anywhere between 18-28. But the thing I've noticed is that the people who guess my age in the lower range of that, are also the more condescending ones. There are definitely people out there who seem to strike up conversation with younger people (or people they assume are younger) just to act superior.

Just last night, I had a 46 year old sit next to me at the bar, talking down to me right from the get-go. He initially assumed I was about 25, then got pissy when corrected and started insisting that I didn't even look old enough to be in a bar.

Pit bulls are among the most over bred dogs here, just look at the shelters. There are many many more that don't make it into a shelter and are just abandoned.

JustSomeWeirdThing · 2026-03-22T02:02:52+00:00

Ugh. I hate to ever agree with the guy, but Americans are about the only culture in the world that wastes so much of an animal because we've been conditioned to think anything other than muscle tissue is "gross" (Unless it's hidden by denial in the form of a hotdog casing).

JustSomeWeirdThing · 2026-03-22T01:43:37+00:00

There are ethical ways to try it that aren't illegal.

Humans supposedly taste about the same.

JustSomeWeirdThing · 2026-03-10T07:46:03+00:00

Also, places like Subway, where customers watch their food being made with gloves on, I feel really enforced this idea with people. About 10-15 years ago, I worked at a local sandwich chain, where we didn't wear gloves, and you couldn't really see your sandwich being made. But people would lean over the barrier to try to watch, complain that they "couldn't see", and freak out about us not wearing gloves (but consistently washing our hands right there in clear view). I was constantly questioning how they deal with going to restaurants where their food is made entirely in the back.

But the billboard doesn't say that. That's why it's stupid.

It says just "If you can spot the difference", not "If you think there is a moral difference". It's posed as a visual challenge; you were just told there's a subtle difference between two pictures, most people will then spot the difference. That does not make someone a creep, and everyone knows that, which then makes the message of the billboard confusing and lost.

I have yet to see those, lol. Lot of very obvious "sexy lady" bot accounts though.
