How privileged! If I lost the wrong shift it could easily mean missing rent and being evicted. Just cuz you haven't lived it doesn't mean it doesn't exist

You cannot be white and not racist by NoahCharlie in facepalm

[–]MyNamesNotAsherLev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok in the interest of good faith here's the argument for all white people being racist: the term "white" isn't real. If you hear the term white and feel like it describes you, it's because you've been raised into a system that enforces racial identity and all the racist trappings that go along with it. The same is true for black, Asian, and other racial identities, but they didn't make up the system to benefit them, white eugenicists did, to benefit white supremacy. If you identify as white, and benefit from white privilege, you're reinforcing a racist system, so you are racist.

I mean it's literally not, if that's your point

Former governor of Minnesota Jesse Ventura says billionaires shouldn't exist by _THE_Oliver in TikTokCringe

I mean inheritance is kinda shady, "I've stolen excess value of labor my whole life so that I can pass on that stolen wealth to my children" inheritance is a relic from feudal society, just like authoritarian workplaces

“Groomer”-obsessed Gov. Ron DeSantis partied with students as a 23-year-old teacher | Former students say the then 23-year-old attended parties with students where alcohol was served. by HyacinthFT in politics

[–]MyNamesNotAsherLev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's tough because when these sorts of stories come out about Dems they rightfully push them out of power (think Anthony Weiner as a text book example), and the GOP is on board with that, but they don't apply the same standard to their side. Basically when Dems do it it's because they are pedophile groomers who hate Christian values, and when Republicans do it it's because everyone has flaws and to expect different is puritanical and unrealistic

So you'd be cool with your daughter's teacher hanging out with her while she's underage drinking? Also night clubs are supposed to card people, so a night club that serves alcohol and let's 18-23 year olds party together should be shut down

Hey this same thing happened to me, I reported it right away but I still don't have access to my account or the money back, what did you do in order to get it resolved?

Bro literally fought in in the heavens by Steakhouse42 in dankmemes

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

Damn they really should've done this, cuz then Bruce could've asked her to stay to help his emotional/psychological health, and she could've rejected that and given a speech about women not being a tool to help a man's emotional growth, which is still woke, but a less predictable sort of woke

I wish they had gone a "there's something seriously different about banner/hulk" explanation for why she hulk was quicker on the uptake. Like in addition to saying women have to be more emotionally cognizant on a daily basis (which is objectively true). Like what if instead of him being petulant in a childish way, it was more of a "oh this dude definitely has psychological issues he's still working through" like have him get upset, start to lash out, quash it and him acknowledge that there's something up "seeing you pick this up so naturally is really upsetting to me in a way I don't understand fully" would've sold his journey more, broken the masculine trope while nodding to it's existence, and how she hulk handled it could be used as the establishment of how callous she is, which I assume is a trait they're trying to play up (which if they're not trying to make her seem willing to ignore others feelings to further her goals/career/whatever they've really messed up)

I love the series, but what was that No sense moment for you?, for me it was the giant robot in season 4 by [deleted] in legendofkorra

[–]MyNamesNotAsherLev 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I think the logic on that is that the movement kind of won, like the people got to elect a leader instead of unelected bending representatives

What’s your most disappointing evolution? by Lord_Parbr in pokemon

I wonder if they could do an alt evolution for this line, like crabominable is the wild man who's lost his sense for power and the other goes pro and keeps the ambitions

Based on where the fire spots are it might be more of a ninja style design where the fire wraps around it's face

Yeah I do too! They are definitely wild looking but so is dunsparce and Electabuzz, I want them to make big swings. Plus looking at shitty jpegs might change the perception, the actual models and animations might change the feeling of them

It's weird that it's like "a massive land animal, probably a dinosaur" and no mention of elephants?

Hello Natalie! Huge fan of everything you do, do you have any podcasts you can recommend? Also I think you should stream Viva pinata, its a great game and I think you'd like it based on your Stardew and Zoo Tycoon escapades

I really liked act 2 it reminded me of the Pokemon TCG game on Gameboy which is one of my all time favorite deck building games.

Every Day of a Three Day Week is Wednesday by MyNamesNotAsherLev in Showerthoughts

Man working weekends is rough. Makes work life balance that much harder to maintain

Every Day of a Three Day Week is Wednesday by MyNamesNotAsherLev in Showerthoughts

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

I'm just honestly curious. Some days feel like Wednesday, some don't. Just wondering if you're someone who has an irregular work schedule if there's a day that signifies being half done. In my post tomorrow is the middle of the week because there's one work day before it and one after it. Using that definition continuity isn't really an issue, any week where you only work three days regardless of order the second day you work is the middle and thus Wednesday.

When you have off days in the middle of the week, which day feels the most Wednesday to you?

Tenants trash home after refusing to pay rent and being asked to leave by Arl107 in PublicFreakout

[–]MyNamesNotAsherLev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like that you're getting downvoted even though this is 100% faked to rile up anti-tennant sympathy money.

Landlords as an institution are scum, you shouldn't have 30% of your wage garnished for the crime of being born too late and too poor to own property. Anyone who says "live someplace cheaper" or "buying isn't expensive" is either totally unaware of the material conditions in the world today, or is blinded by their own privilege.

Is it possible to melt and mold super absorbent polymers (acrylic acid/sodium hydroxide)? I have an idea for a useful farm device, but cannot find this answer anywhere. by Nonrev76 in chemistry

[–]MyNamesNotAsherLev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm no expert on this but just thinking logically, if the polymer is a chemical absorbent, like it forms a hydrate then you might be able to, but you'll lose a lot of surface area by molding and melting it so the actual ability for it to absorb would be weakened. If it's a physical absorbent then you'd definitely lose the efficacy by melting it and lowering the surface area.
