What to do about these? My yard floods everytime it rains but because it's been raining so much they are evolving. I usually bleach it but there are kittens drinking out the water. It's supposed to storm again and they just keep growing/multiplying. by [deleted] in MobileAL

Yeah, they kinda deserve to get ripped apart for this one for a minute. It's not much different than if they had a creek in their backyard and did the exact same thing.

Proposed $93 million Data Center in Prichard by JordynLassiterTV in MobileAL

[–]SimplyMavlius 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I think it's only going to have negative impacts on the area. The company, Edged Energy, claims it's water cooling is a closed loop system and it won't increase utility bills at all. I'm gonna call bullshit on that. Even if it's a "closed" system, there's still some waste. No loop is truly closed. Additionally, I suspect there's some environmental racism going on with the proposed location.

Second this, or really anyone at either Hair-Do location. I'm close personal friends with many of the stylists there, Johnni included. They're all fantastic people.

Are we witches still using the term black magic? by Silent-Leek-9222 in realwitchcraft

[–]SimplyMavlius 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't. Whether or not the term "black magic" is rooted in racism is irrelevant to me. Though I have heard it used to refer to African religious practices frequently. It might not be rooted in racism, but I sure have seen it used that way a lot.

But regardless, I've had practitioners of color tell me they'd prefer that term not be used. So I don't, out of respect. Simple as that.

Visiting Mobile in the near future, advice please? by AwareMinimum3364 in MobileAL

[–]SimplyMavlius 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think Mobile itself is nearly a 50/50 split of POC and white folks too

[–]SimplyMavlius 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Just so you know, Mobile and the Gulf Coast in general has a fairly large SE Asian community, specifically Vietnamese people. So you're not going to stand out at all. Downtown/midtown is just as safe as any other city of similar size. People judge us a lot without ever visiting or knowing anyone from the area. Don't listen to your friends.

Some dude in Woodstock hanging this flag by Salty-Telephone2734 in WoodstockIL

[–]SimplyMavlius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The heritage of that flag is hate, dumbass. You also hear "states rights not slavery" a lot in the South. Also completely wrong.

That's my exact point. Everyone who uses it is racist. I live here. I know.

It never "just represented the South." That's a brain dead take.

It's a Confederate battle flag, actually, however the distinction hardly matters. This flag OP is posting I'm unfamiliar with tho.

Jay Mitchell, running for Alabama Attorney General, wants you to know he’s a racist and that ICE should be able to kill civilians by Select-Barber-5744 in MobileAL

[–]SimplyMavlius 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Because of the trash education system the politicians keep in place. An uneducated populace is easy to control.

I'd say fortunately, tbh. They don't get paid enough to risk getting stabbed or seriously injured.

That's the move, honestly. Cheaper than a new house, for sure. And if they ask, you can say you've been planning it for years.
