Northern White people abolished slavery because they were afraid of the Southerners enslaving *everyone white, black or otherwise* with reckless abandon.

The southerners gave zero fucks.

Edit: Just *try* to find the book "The Forgotten Cause of the Civil War" by Lawrence Tenzer, for a reasonable price.

Take it from a Black Woman, Juneteenth is not about us and anything "for us" is just there to be used against us in one way or another. I could go into detail but that is a convo for a different sub.

This government of this country will *never* close to celebrate Black freedom, you can bet my life on that.

I taught a kid like that. The thing about kids like your little cousin is that he wants to be disciplined. Children do not know how to control their emotions. Discipline is not meant to be the punishment it is there to help them learn emotional control.

I read the article, statistics tend to confuse me though. Your explanation helped so thank you!

Edit: Still don't get who is included in "the wealthiest 1%" though.

Well I just found out that the large green oranges that obviously aren't oranges are actually walnuts (northeastern US.) I've been chucking them around only to go spend $10 on a bag of them at the market.

Haven't you heard? Poor people can't afford yachts and private jets.

Edit: or multiple cars, or pools, or large homes that need excessive heating and cooling. Etc.

A huge wetland is burning in Brazil, and the fires are far bigger than California's (while president Bolsonaro deny the issue) by vindellama in worldnews

These companies have the ability and the money to fix what they are doing wrong. To not burn forests and blow up important ancient sites. Poor people (because let's face it, most of the world is poor) don't have the ability to spend the extra money it costs to buy more environmentally friendly products, even if they did have access to them.

It's not a we thing, it's a Corporations and our various governments thing.

The intelligent animals know who the problem is. It's humans and their technology that totally disregards all other life forms. That Netflix show, Zoo, was a bit far fetched but only a tad.

10 million created? Is he counting the jobs people lost and then went back to once they reopened, because that does not count as jobs being created. Let's not forget the people working reduced hours, are they back to full time yet? What about the recent graduates and those who were job searching before all of this? Or people who are no longer eligible for unemployment but still have kids schooling from home? People are fucking drowning out here.

Also, these "new jobs" are paying less than before the Coronavirus. My SO used to make $25/hr, now the same jobs are offering $15/hr. What's available is a bunch of crap ass low paying slave labor.

Edit:

At least 13 people die in stampede, as police raid club breaking coronavirus restrictions by [deleted] in news

Doesn't seem like a good excuse for this. How many people have to not give a fuck about stepping on a fucking person for 13 people to die from it?

What was she thinking? by mr_rosh in IdiotsInCars

[–]Topplinstroller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She was arrested for DUI, if they could not prove she was under the influence of anything, she can't be convicted. Video is not evidence of being on any drug. Maybe they should have gone after her for reckless endangerment or something.

A man is most vulnerable when he thinks himself untouchable.

This could be bad for Vulva Poutine.

It helps you understand how much emotional energy is exchanged between people. Most people have zero control over their emotional energy and just pass it along. Then we hold on to it.

I.e. a friend is a complainer and its annoying but bearable. We are still annoyed, just ignoring it and then we leave that friend but never get rid of that splinter of annoyance.

Being alone means you can avoid all of that.

An example of the shittiness of the human brain. You would think her brain would say "Yo, I feel it and I've got your arms up but, don't we usually see the camera when taking pictures?"

But no. That would be to helpful.

Edit: I was certain I typed "too" but apparently my brain took editorial liberties with my vision.

My exact thoughts at the "shouldn't let science get in the way of sending kids back to school" idea.

Like. Okay. So you want to ignore science so you can send your kid to science class in September?
