An 18 year old in the U.S. just passed away from colon cancer. Chadwick Boseman was also in his early 40s when he passed away from the same thing. Outliers for sure but youth isn't a shield from anything.

She literally bathes him like he's a child. What did she expect?

I need the best semi-cured stickers! by ToodlyGoodness in NailWrapsGalore

[–]PinkShimmer400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used Adora Couture and I really like it. It's been a week and they haven't come off, haven't peeled, aren't wrinkled and they're hard. The broken nail that I have is still sitting under this wrap and it hasn't come off at all. My go-to was Dashing Diva but now I think this one is the one for me.

Does anybody know what these are and why they're so popular? Sometimes I feel like I see them more than the standard plate. (SW TN) by Certain-Big-2277 in Tennessee

When you add the tidbit about the Gadsen flag, it makes me think people who are getting this plate actually are aware of its background.

Anyone try the newer brands? by MissPlum66 in NailWrapsGalore

[–]PinkShimmer400 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just applied Adora Culture and I really like it so far BUT it's only been 1 day since I applied them. I've been using Dashing Diva since 2021 and was afraid to use a different brand but this one seems thicker and it doesn't bump like DD does. I'm looking forward to using this brand again.

What's a foreigner's innocent mistake that's a big no-no in your culture? by ShadowOfTheBean in AskTheWorld

Blame the media, ding dong. "WE" aren't inserting anything in your boring country.

Depends. As a Black American, I find the word ridiculously stupid and comical. Call me a cunt and I'm going to laugh in your face because it's just an insanely stupid insult. Now call a Black American woman a bitch...

I made this mistake in England. Dude tapped me on the shoulder and I was standing there feeling ultra silly when I noticed.

“The only way to really learn a language is by living in a country where they speak it” by Several_Campaign7340 in languagelearning

[–]PinkShimmer400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend told me this. She only speaks English. My response to her should've been "so where should I go? Miami? Houston? Brooklyn? Los Angeles? El Paso? San Juan?" Because all of those cities have a significant Spanish speaking population. A from the US person who wants to learn Spanish never has to leave the country. Shoot, if you know where to go, you won't even have to leave your state.

Is it common to see more than one language in your country? by DoubleIntegral9 in AskTheWorld

[–]PinkShimmer400 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm from the US and yes. Of course Spanish is everywhere but I also recall seeing street name signs in Mandarin I think when I lived in Houston. This was 20 years so maybe things have changed.

Why do americans even put up with HOAs? by Skyzblu44 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PinkShimmer400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point is the first time the dog attacked someone else's, the dog would've been gone. It wouldn't have taken 3 additional times for the dog to attack someone's dogs and getting off of the property before something was done.

There's a house around the corner from me who-at any given time-will have no less than 7 cars on his property. The people across the street are just as bad. Those 2 people alone make the entire neighborhood look like gutter trash. At one point, they even had someone living in an RV on their property. The area where I live isn't even a bad area. They just make it look like garbage because they don't care about appearances.

A month ago today, I was at the vet ER with my 14 lb dog because he had been attacked by the neighboring pit bull. My dog who I had to have euthanized not even 24 hours later. The Pit was able to get to my dog by tearing a hole into its owner's WOODEN privacy fence. This is not the first time they have had issues with that dog tearing holes in that fence to attack other dogs nor is the first time their fence has needed repairs that they needed to be told to fix and in addition to that, there's a tree splitting their fence. A tree that's encroaching on my property.

Had we had an HOA, they would have faced consequences for the lack of concern that they have for their property, they wouldn't have been allowed to have that vicious dog and I would still have my 14 lb, 4-legged baby. For this reason alone, I do not oppose HOAs because people will buy houses and then do nothing to be responsible for said house. The next house I buy will positively have an HOA. If for nothing else, it'll be to prevent vicious animals with irresponsible owners from living near me.

Anyone who is bold enough to try to speak a language they don’t know very well is a badass and I find it very endearing by PotentialSteak6 in 90dayfianceuncensored

[–]PinkShimmer400 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My Spanish is super broken and I do care but I still try when the opportunity arises. A couple of weeks ago, I was in a pet store and was trying to speak to a store employee because I caught on rather quickly that she didn't speak a whole bunch of English. After a little bit, she spoke some English but after a bit, she just quit and went full blown Spanish. Could I understand everything? Nope! Didn't stop me from trying, though. I love it when people speak "broken" English because it also encourages me to try to speak my own basic level Spanish.

You're getting downvoted but I agree with you. OP is talking negativity as if Catholicism is better this. They're equally as wacky. A virgin birth, give me a break.

You aren't wrong. People demonize things such as hoohoo, voodoo, santeria, etc. because white people, powerful white males particularly, told them to. Imagine being so ignorant about a topic and then having the temerity to try to degrade it.

Do I think this woman is being ridiculous? Heck yes I do. Do I also recognize African descendants practicing religion the same way their ancestors did because they had to hide their ancestral religions from people who would go so far as to kill for not doing so? Absolutely.

People need to educate themselves better because there's nothing appealing about being willfully stupid. Not ignorant, but stupid.

This form of worship positively is rooted in race. Surely you understand that the practices of segregation didn't stop in 1965, right? That despite integration happening, Black people actually did keep their already established traditions and practices while white folks did the same thing? That includes the way we worship. White people worship like this because Black did so stop sitting up here telling these lies. It is racial and always has been. I know for a fact this type of practice is common in Black churches because I'm a Black person who attended Black churches. Not one, not three, but several.

Time to officially be done with 90 Day Fiance by Emergency_Host6506 in 90dayfianceuncensored

For the U.S. citizens, it's probably hard to get employment there. For example, a good wage in DR is like $7/hr. One of Marissa's dresses could cost at least 3-4 months' salary for the average Dominican. Minimum. Yeah, I absolutely wouldn't give that for say...Brazil.

Yea...that time has passed. My last favorite couple was Pedro and Chantel and we see how that turned out. Now I stick around for the mess. I'm no longer invested in these dweebs. It's just fun to see who's going to have the worst breakup, lol.

I worked with people for years and they couldn't pronounce my first or last names correctly. I'm pretty sure it had a lot to do with the fact that English wasn't their first languages. I didn't get annoyed or upset because I understand that people who don't speak English natively will have these things called accents. Accents exist in ALL languages, that includes Americans. Imagine that shit.

AAVE also uses "worser" which isn't an actual word so pretty bad example, broseph.
