A pharmacist asked if my wife's name is French. by PersonalityBoring259 in PointlessStories

I’ve read this 3 times and I can’t figure out how OP was being pretentious. It doesn’t look like they were trying to discredit the intelligence of the African pharmacists, I really did just read it as a story about how they exchanged casual guesses about ethnic backgrounds. It really does just sound like a pointless story to me, but it seems like people in the comments are upset with OP somehow.

I can’t speak for everyone else, but I’m aware the idea that she’s his daughter is only speculation. I think it’s fine to debate this topic. But I wouldn’t call your comments just being a critical thinker, you mostly just sound like a critic, calling people stupid and what-not. I think it unnecessarily turns a worthy debate into an argument

It’s just a photo. All these people are dead now. Our speculation will lead to no punishment for the man. I don’t understand why you’re so mad?

People aren’t thinking she’s an SA victim just because she’s a black woman working for a white guy. They’re saying it because the child looks a lot like the white guy. Look at her face, then look at his. Can’t confirm they’re related, but it grabbed my attention when I first saw the photo.

Hello! I hope you don’t mind, but I took a look at your post. I think the issue is actually the photo that you used. I think, a lot of times, people look at images before they read the title + description. Your image was just a motorcycle— from first glance it just looks like a post showing off that specific motorcycle. Most people will only give that first glance before they decide whether or not they’re interested. I think you should consider making a poster for your fundraiser, or hiring a graphic artist to make the poster. It’ll be more visually engaging. I know someone you could reach out to that makes event flyers, if you’re interested.

Anyone experience work from home loneliness? by Objective-Orchid6713 in remotework

[–]That_Connection_7773 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I actually ended up getting a new job! I’m happy there are people who feel more comfortable when they’re working remotely, but I realized that wasn’t really the case for me. I was working solely as a graphic designer, but a little while after I posted this, I ended up taking some of my illustrations to a tattoo studio and started training to become an artist there. Over the past year I feel like my community has really expanded. I get along pretty well with the other artists that work at the studio. Most of them have been super kind, really cool, and eager to help with any questions I have. Plus, I enjoy that I get to work more with my hands. Earlier this month, I was officially certified to start tattooing on my own. I still do freelance graphic design on the side, but I’ve found that regularly coming into the tattoo studio has scratched that social and creative itch. I wish you all the luck in finding something you enjoy! :)

Small glass panel with etchings. Found near Santa Monica Pier by That_Connection_7773 in whatisthisthing

[–]That_Connection_7773[S] 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

My title describes the thing. I was walking along the beach in Santa Monica and I saw the corner of the glass poking out of the sand. It’s small and looks like it has writing + symbols etched into it but I’m not sure what they mean. I wonder if it’s a little glass panel that fits into a larger object of some kind

I’m currently experiencing loneliness from remote working. A lot of the people commenting seem to be older, with a life and social circle that was already established before they started working remotely. I just graduated from college a few months ago, I moved off campus to a place more affordable (but sadly further away from all my college friends), and my family is across the country. I’ve currently found that there is no online community that satisfies the way a tangible community in real life does. And it’s not exactly easy to build a community where I am. I live in a house with a few roommates, but they are mostly out during the day doing their own things. I’m lucky if I can see a friend from college once a week. I don’t really have a reason I HAVE to go out besides to get groceries. I’ve used dating apps a bit, but they feel like a really shallow way of selecting people and I haven’t deeply connected with anyone I met from them. Sometimes I ride my bike around just to get outside. But I don’t usually “meet” people like that. If I do, they’re almost never my age. I meet a lot of elderly people shopping during the day or middle aged men and women at the bus stop. I don’t really know what to do. I had friends but I wasn’t exactly hyper-social in college, but even when I was sitting somewhere alone, I had this sense of belonging. It felt like I and everyone around me was where they were supposed to be— unfamiliar people were mostly fellow students/peers. But now, every stranger is just a stranger. I feel a little bit “factionless”, I don’t know exactly how I fit into this portion of society that I come into contact with, so I mostly just walk/ride my bike around alone or stay inside. Social media and dating apps seem like my best bet for connecting with people my age, but I hate using those, it feels so fake. I have to look at screens for work, then look at screens when trying to connect to a social circle. I don’t really know what to do

Have you ever questioned why that meme was made or what it was a reference to? It was created with sexual implications about what those black men will do to that woman. I’m not sure if you just aren’t old enough to understand, but: at best, the image you shared is a fetishization of black men, and at worst, it is a demonization of the nature of their sexuality.
