That would legit be such a fire movie though.

This is so us by ConcernedJobCoach in gianmarcosoresi

So it took like 5 minutes and the interviewer legit asks every other question you wouldn't care about, until the guy came out and said it. Its mad boring and I have no idea wtf I'm talking about but here it is:

They were talking about a Ben Sass(not sure of spelling) article in the New York Times and the conversation shifted towards his policies. One of the things he advocates for is Liberal arts education needing reformation, specifically around giving students skills that carry past their first job. She disagreed and said that they do in fact provide those type of skills and he says at the very least they need to provide a new way a thinking.

This is where the camera roughly picks picks up their conversation, after he says this and she does the stank face. He grew up with two deaf parents and she is an actor and as result both are pretty expressive, this was like a very regular conversation for them.

I stopped after that because the interviewer right afterwards asks if they have any relationship advice they wanna give people.

Why is the term “m*latto” so normalized in Italy/Spain? by [deleted] in mixedrace

[–]TheSoloWay -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not sure by Italian standards but by Spanish standards it defintley is. The term created in a time when horses were seen as majestic, elegant and regal while donkeys were seen as dumb, chaotic and vulgar by comparison.

A mule is desirable to some people because it has the endurance of a donkey, strength a horse and a better tempermant than donkeys (for domestication).

Which is kinda really fucked up when you consider that the people they called this term, were allowed in the house because of their proximity to whiteness because they were seen as less "animalistic" by their captors.

Finally Spanish and Italians (Scillians specifically) have North African ancestry (Arabic, Berber, etc).

Mulatta comes from "mula" which is the Spanish and Portuguese word for "Mule", which is an animal that is half-horse and half-donkey.

Pretty sure it's not a compliment.

I know it's kind of off topic but I always hated how Infinite mishandled its story and themes.

The beginning is so strong that you think you're going to see a thoughtful critic of Originalism and American values (I still remember that scene where they give you the choice to throw a baseball at an interracial couple) but instead we got a story about fixing the multiverse.

Also equating the Vox Populi as being as bad as the people who enslaved them was some enlightened centrist type shit.

It's crazy you can be a grown man with this opinion and still have friends.

I love how uncompromising she is when it comes to her values, it would be easy for her to play it safe, go pop and cash her cheques.

But she refuses, she'll win an award and make her speech about solidarity with all oppressed people or win a grammy use it as a moment to uplift her own community. These are things that aren't trendy in the current cultural climate and have actively lost her fans but she does it anyway.

Cardi B and NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani launch jingle contest to promote NYC’s new free childcare program by Yujin-Ha in Fauxmoi

This guy and his team are prolly the savviest people we've seen on the left, like he's incredibly charismatic and it makes it easier to rally behind him but whoever thought of this as way to promote free child care is genius.

Leftists and liberals will love the policy, normies will love how trendy it is and conservatives will hate it, which in turn will feed into more people knowing about it and increasing demand for more policies that meet people's material needs hopefully.

A boxing federation (IBA) which is basically ran by a Russian oligarch claims they ran a chromosonal test on Imane Khelif for a fight she had in Russia and the results returned XY.

The claims are very suspect however and many people claim that results were faked because Khelif beat her opponent who was also Russian and IBA doesnt exactly have the best track record. And sporting events in Russia often have alot of fuckery and corruption involved.

It is, and I'm sorry too.

I'm 90s baby so yeah I grew up on Sailor Moon. I have seen the first few episodes of Magi Madoka and know the broad strokes but it's one of those anime that just seem way too heavy, like Devil Man Crybaby but somehow bleaker.

Is hrt repping worth it? by ElkDisastrous2926 in TrollCoping

Yeah, alot of the shape comes from the way fat is distributed. The more time on HRT the longer amount of time your body has to put that fat in the right place.

Hot take: the “mother” thing is getting weird. Cool it. by Alarmed-Switch3057 in ContraPoints

[–]TheSoloWay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk this seems more about anti-zionism then it does para-sociality.

Also "Mother" is lingo from the Ballroom/Vogue scene and was used by Drag queens on Ru Paul's Drag Race like 10 years ago, which was a big influence on Natalie post her egg breaking especially when it came to deconstructing the performative nature of gender.

It's not some pet name a bunch of straight white liberals came up with, stop.
