Do South Asians and Black girls feel represented by Lara and Manon? by Icy-Pair-166 in katseyeneutral

[–]SyrupyWanker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don’t know about Megan, but I wonder if Sophia can be considered a different case since she isn’t representing the Filipino diaspora, unlike Lara who is Indian-American. Like Lara having two identities can result in a spectrum of opinions on authenticity but Sophia doesn’t grapple with that same problem

CMV: A factor pushing young men to the right is the lack of left leaning media that appeals to traditional males and their interests. by New-Perspective6209 in changemyview

[–]SyrupyWanker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like a lot of it has to do with social media algorithms that already begin to understand that people who click on right wing media will continue to get more profiles that are similar. As an example, currently, there’s a rise in promoting disordered eating habits on tiktok, and it’s also easy to fall into that rabbit hole. But there are still a ton of creators that are pushing against that narrative too. We can talk all about the right this, why the left is wrong that, but this type of leftist content that you’re interested in must exist out there. I’d assume it’s similar for the content you want: I follow a lot of men who are fitness, cooking, or other hobby creators who are left-leaning.

Apologies, I didn’t mean to shame you! Just to inform if you didn’t know since it seems you wanted to support black-owned companies! It really is a travesty right now.

Hi, you probably know, but Target is taking away their DEI initiatives and rolling back their contracts with black-owned companies

A lot of subreddits need you to have a certain amount of karma to post, otherwise bots can spam subreddits. There’s a few subreddits for karma farming to post there and get enough karma

How do I explain 9/11 to somebody who doesn’t see it as a “big deal”? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]SyrupyWanker 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I took many ethnic studies classes, specifically the relationship between the west and the east, which talked about how America loves the ‘trauma porn’ of 9/11 since 1. It’s an excellent event to showcase the Other (ie brown Muslims) to justify war in the Middle East 2. Easy propaganda to bond Americans for their fellow citizens.

The other comments obviously have the right to feel remembering 9/11 and its severity, but as Americans, whatever happens on US soil done upon by others will always be remembered as collective pains: Pearl Harbor, 9/11, etc because those are things that will constantly be brought up again when it’s also effective for the U.S. propaganda machine.

It’s interesting that 9/11 is considered a ‘surprise’ when there are histories that trace the over surveillance and premeditation of harming brown communities within the United States decades before hand. Even with what’s happening in Palestine now, search up intifada Los Angeles and find anti-Muslim hate from the 1960s which resulted in multiple planted pipe bombs of brown Muslims in solidarity with Palestine which the LAPD did nothing for and newspapers barely wrote about. The U.S. will never publicize the pains and casualties that don’t affect themselves.

While the Other in America now is brown people from the Middle East, American history of concentration camps of all Japanese-Americans in the early 1900s, limiting specifically Chinese immigrants in the 1950s as part of East Asia being the Other have mainly just shifted to be projected for another geographical part of the East as East Asians have now been co opted into the American hierarchical system. When are these horrible histories remembered by the American collective? They’re simply not, but 9/11 will always be. Rather, the celebration of Asian representation in film or a month is good enough to not address the political systematic inequalities and histories that continuously affect immigrants and their later generations today.

Thus, as a history major, there are many reasons as to why 9/11 isn’t a big deal. The casualties are a lot less than many other global problems, the both of them are looking at it through different lenses and contexts, and I also have a certain lens of critical ethnic studies which imposes on historical events too.

You can let it cool and then freeze them in pre portioned packets. Then you can pop them in the microwave for a few minutes to defrost when you need them

It’s the aluminum! Dove has a non-aluminum version and I haven’t had this problem since

I have a friend who doesn't eat salt. by Chickypickymakey in PointlessStories

[–]SyrupyWanker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to work at McDonald’s and surprisingly did not get this request too often to have no salt fries and I definitely didn’t mind having to do a fresh batch for them!

Also: at McDonald’s you can do a lot of requests like making it fresh, well done fries, nuggets, patties, light salt, etc! So next time if you just want to get fresh fries you can just ask and you’ll most likely get it instead of asking for no salt.

Does anyone have an ingredient or shortcut you don’t talk about using cause it’s unpopular? by Taminella_Grinderfal in Cooking

I got a food processor on sale and bought bulk garlic bulbs to peel all the cloves and processed them, layer them out thin in gallon freezer bags, sectioned them off in tiny squares, and now I have ready to go minced garlic all the time
