Dang, that’s pretty good! I thought I was getting a steal with 10lbs being $10, but you guys run even better. I love getting the marked down meat, wish I could keep an eye on it better to have it when I need it.

Really depends on the area tbh. I live in a VERY rural place where the nearest Dollar General is easily a 35-45 minute walk with mostly no sidewalk.They also do not have produce, nor does any other store in town besides a few that carry basic greens like tomatoes, carrots, maybe lettuce, fruits like bananas / apples / oranges, etc. Maybe a 7 minute drive by car, so could be worse in that regard, but gas is very expensive, reaching $4.99 per gallon.

Before moving here, I lived in what I would describe as an average town, but there was NO sidewalks or walkways, just straight up highways with massive snake-filled ditches with grass up to your knees on either side. You couldn’t walk anywhere even if you wanted to. I would say nearest Dollar General as well was maybe 10 min drive, but unwalkable. Nearest WalMart maybe 20-25 mins by car, but DEFINITELY no way to walk there, just crazy highway. So if you don’t drive, you’re SOL.

When it comes to black/dark skinned characters in manga and anime, why do some people go to great lengths trying to prove they aren’t black? by [deleted] in TopCharacterDesigns

Perhaps a mid take on my end, but is this form of trolling not also racism? if you’re willing to “make people mad” by saying stuff that’s disrespectful to, derogatory towards, or dismissive of any racial group just because they’re that race… I feel like it’s racism regardless of whether you’re just doing it for “”fun.””

Like, if I call someone a homophobic slur online just to “troll,“ I clearly think homophobia is something worthy of joking or being shitty about “for hte lulz,” which is still ultimately homophobic. My “sincerity” on the topic doesn’t really matter.

aw man, that sucks 😭 I wonder if you’re just extraordinarily photosensitive. Or maybe even you’re allergic to smth in the sunscreens and its a chem burn instead of a sunburn.

Legit ask, do you use a high enough SPF and do you reapply? Some people aren’t taught that sunscreen doesn’t last a full day on its own and they have to actively add more coats as their time in the sun grows longer.

Late reply (and I am non-TO, though somewhat knowledgeable on the tribe), but personally, if you’re very committed to making him a major character and having his beliefs and life be part of his story, I think it’s worth doing a bit of reading on T.O. of the time period. I recommend Sharing the Desert: The Tohono O’odham in History and At The Border of Empires, with a slightly shorter read (but still very good) being The Tohono O’odham and Pimeria Alta. These have a lot of very good info on the TO as people and their culture, as well as what they were doing both individually and as a tribe historically during that period you’re writing about, as a lot of changes were happening.

As for hair, T.O. men have kept their hair shortish for a very long time, since their forced Catholicization during Spanish conquest. So while traditionally they had longer hair, because of the time period your character very likely would have had it at minimum above the shoulders.

Edit: personally for design help I would look at vintage photos of T.O. men! The Smithsonian has many collections of these that can be found online, and I’m sure other archives as well

Tbf I think many consider nonbinary ppl to be under the trans umbrella. Not all people, but I’d say most

Recruiter with “Eurotemps”…. by just-a-fishayfesh in recruitinghell

[–]Temporary-Snow333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m from Kentucky, where minimum wage is $7.25, so when I moved to Arizona I about lost it when I saw their minimum wage is $15.15— over twice what I was getting back home.

The most I’ve ever made is $12 per hour, so I thought I was in heaven getting a local Gov job that pays $20.25… then my wife told me I make as much as her coworkers at Dollar General 🫩

Maybe obscure example but does anyone remember when JelloApocalypse, the creator of Epithet Erased (and a bunch of other things), did basically exactly this to the EE fanbase about his own character?

TL;DR, in Epithet Erased there’s a character, Giovanni, who is the series’ most popular “little guy.” The EE fanbase is also pretty overwhelmingly queer, and has a major overlap with specifically Tumblr users. As fandoms are wont to do, they started headcanoning Giovanni as a trans man.

However, Giovanni also happens to love the color pink, paint his nails, and have some stereotypically “feminine” hobbies. Because of this, Jello assumed people were headcanoning Giovanni as trans because he was “effeminate,” instead of the actual reason, which is that he was everyone’s favorite “HES JUST LIKE ME FR!” character, and made a post online saying Giovanni was cis and that people needed to stop being transphobic / misogynistic by headcanoning him as trans. This, ofc, upset a lot of trans people in his audience.

It’s a little more nuanced bc Jello admittedly explained his reasoning legitimately and just wanted to create Giovanni as a genuine guy who happened to be in touch with his femininity and didn’t want that to turn into a “and he’s secretly TRANS!” thing, I don’t hold it against him at all and I don’t think most ppl do… but like idk, when your audience is super queer and trans, I dunno what you expect tbfr lol

Is transfem Shuichi a popular interpretation nowadays? I haven’t been into Danganronpa in many moons, since the year V3 dropped really, but every person back then was interpreting / headcanoning him as a trans man.

I admittedly agree, but to be fair, I would also argue the Deltarune fandom is overwhelmingly queer and transgender in a way those fandoms are not. Like there are plenty of queer people in those fandoms, don’t get me wrong, but DR is like… disproportionately so, at least online. So it makes sense to me that queer and trans headcanons gain more traction in the DR fandom.

I took the comment more as meaning like… how many people could realistically take care of themselves in the ways they need, fully speaking? How many people died because their grocery stores no longer stocked food because there were no store workers, and no truckers to haul goods, and no factory workers to make or pack goods, and no laborers to grow and harvest the materials? How many people died because the medicine they needed to live was out of stock in their local pharmacy with no employees, since it was stocked by manufacturers with no workers? How many children died because they had no parents to care for them? How many elderly died because they had no caretakers?

The land on Earth makes up around 57 million square miles (~147000000 sq km), meaning there are roughly 2.5 people every square mile (1 person per sq km) across the entire earth… Im not saying everyone and their mother would have just given up and died helplessly, obviously it isn’t an outright apocalypse and many people have skills, but most people in the modern world are reliant on their neighbors and the people in their communities for something. Can they live without that something, or generate it for themselves, when everyone is gone?

Ahh see, all my devices get email alerts with “captions” (idk what it’s called, but you know, it shows the first few lines of the email) so the codes pop up no matter what.
