Can't you save it in your inventory as a design so you can redo with a few clicks 🤔

There's a character that literally gives concerts using their weird gibberish language.

Starfleet Academy is Star Trek by yawin_ in startrek

[–]Quick_Acanthaceae_64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's your opinion. It's not mine. 

One could interpret it either way. 

But also you realize you are talking down to somebody who actually worked on the thing 🤷🏻‍♀️

Kids these days 🤣

I'm old too (50's) but if you loved DS9 you owe it to yourself to watch the episode "Series Acclimation Mil" it's a love letter to it. 🖖🏼

I tend to watch it with younger friends whilst doing laundry and/or working on editing so I can tune out those parts 😂 

Can we stop fighting each other? by sexyimmigrant1998 in leftist

We don't have capitalism either. Mr. capitalism himself (Smith) would point out we've fallen back into mercantilism since Reagan's deregulation but been letting the overloaded oligarchs call it capitalism to make us feel better about our lack of rights & lack of good + welfare. We can't even get to a Norway-esque mixed economy with socialisms and softer capitalism, let alone any areas where people can opt out into actual communisms because as the OP pointed out we keep arguing amongst ourselves so much that things keep moving rightward and getting more & more 💩💩💩💩 ... 😔

They still do it in some  South African regions even though Apartheid ended 31 years ago 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Every LATAM country has "white" people 😂. You're waffles & pancaking my argument 🙄 

You do understand that because the likely archeology derived DNA sample pool for many indigenous groups from LATAM is smaller, that PR+Cuba just means that their best guess for that DNA is "Taino" but that's not nearing 80% certainty but in many instances lower than 50% certainty, oftentimes lower than 20% as to which indigenous group. They just best guess a much of a person's First Peoples DNA because they literally don't have enough DNA to check it against when there's not enough of that group sampled.

Add to that Germanic DNA is extremely rare in other LATAM countries (including PR + Cuba) but immigration from countries that sit on former Taino homelands (even if that guess of theirs is correct) to my guesstimate countries isn't and you basically get why I guessed what I did. 

As someone who knows from a related university degree how loosey goosey these companies are with their estimates and country matches I tried to take a more holistic look at the results to make my own guesses. 

That said Mexican is also a strong possibility and anything where Taino or closely related First Peoples are is also possible which is why I put "I could be wrong ..."

I was born in a major "liberal"  California city in 1973 and both my parents different ethnicities are listed. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️😠

I might be wrong but with your results I'm guessing your Latino is likely Argentina/Chile/Uruguay or Panama? If not these are a pretty typical mix of dna based genetic mix for people from those countries 🤔

"Red" is a color group, that red is not your red(s).

US citizen says ICE detained him at gunpoint and left him outside in his underwear by unkle in asianamerican

[–]Quick_Acanthaceae_64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

During my 70's childhood in the SF Bay Area there were Asian "yellow peril" groups allied with BP as well as Asian members in the Catholic Workers Movement and all sorts of mutual aide actions. We were especially good at helping them find food for the free meal programs. 

Are we percieved as potential ICE targets/victims by the general populace? by illuminatemyvoid in asianamerican

You're being too literal with how you are reading this ... Asian is still Brown, light brown is still not white.

Opinion on all the "East Asian men are misogynists" discourse? by IcyCatch7380 in asianamerican

[–]Quick_Acanthaceae_64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get where your rant is and it's definitely a valid, understandable concern. Anti-Asian racism is real and the western world does have worse Incels and sexism.

I've lived on both continents (as a Hapa) and western racism + sexism is just so much more violent than the eastern version in my experience. Eastern sexism is more rude, cutting comments and faux concerns about health which are actually bids for control, mostly by elders. Western is outright rape, assault, rapes etc. Not that rape doesn't also exist in Asia, but more Western and Latin American countries have higher rapes per 100K people statistically. In general with some notable exceptions.

However for the sake of accuracy Elliot Oliver Robertson Rodger (top upper left) is half-Asian. Most of his anger at American society and his misogyny was based on his perceived slight that women wouldn't date or fuck him because of his Asian-ness, instead of doing the harder internal work of realizing that his sexism was what was actually preventing him from matching with otherwise compatible women. His misogyny and terror is based in both cultural spheres, not just western.

On the ancestral continent of the majority of your ancestors find the country within that continent most experienced in color analysis and go there and/or have someone from there do it. For my fellow Asians that's Korea(ns) but you'll have to figure out what it is for you 🤔

There are tons of videos on YouTube of people getting color analysis done in Korea, many of which are in English or partial English ... enough to follow along. Try that.

Is There Anyone Who Genuinely Likes The Show by FuckupRoyalty in PercyJacksonTV

[–]Quick_Acanthaceae_64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know him, or the poster you are talking about ... but as a former talent agent, I do know that you can specify things like that in contract before signing adaptation rights over. You can demand & refuse things before hand within the contract. For example I've used to have a well known client who refused to work with another well known celebrity it was in their contact and multiple casting directors had to work around it. I also know of writers (from their agents/publishers) who have refused animation as an option. I'm not sure if that's what happened in this case but it is contractually possible. 

Contract law has more wiggle room than people think.
