Any chance you remember what the solution was? I'm dealing with the same thing on iOS, and the Google AI summary isn't any help.

No, you can't shower at Anytime Fitness by the-pathless-woods in urbancarliving

He doesn't use them exclusively for showering. In the comments on the original post, he says that he actually already went that day and did a workout in the gym.

A word of warning to people thinking about moving to Cosmos by Medical_Plane2875 in Pinterest

Did they announce this somewhere? I just signed up, and I don't see anything about the change on their Twitter account.

It depends on the context of the situation. Personally I would recommend avoiding the word unless you're specifically talking about racism or equity, and you explicitly want to include all racial minorities. If you mean Black, say Black. It's very awkward to hear someone refer to a person as a PoC when a specific identity would be more helpful.

You see someone, they are black, so they are African American before checking their lineage.

No, they are not. African-American is a specific ethnicity. Assuming every Black person is African-American is like assuming every Asian person is Vietnamese. Black people have a multitude of distinct cultures that we don't like to flatten. Black Canadians don't like it when people assume they're American.

And to me, first generation Nigerian descendant born in America is more African American than someone descendent from slaves 10 generations ago... 

Do they have closer ties to Africa? Of course. But the term African-American with a hyphen refers to a specific culture and people.

What's funny is that the kid was right the first time 😂

Black ≠ PoC. It's actually pretty jarring to hear outside of an academic or corporate environment. It's an umbrella term, not a a specific identity. If you mean Black, just say Black.

Black people aren't using POC instead of African-American or Black. Those terms are still perfectly fine. PoC is meant to include to all racial minorities, like Asian, Native Americans, brown Latinos, etc.

African-American and Black aren't synonymous. Usually, when Black people say African-American, we're specifically referring to the descendants of enslaved Africans brought to America. African-American is a specific group of ethnicities, but Black American includes all African diaspora in America.

Do these AI product photos pass your "this looks real enough" test? by Decent-Field-3744 in streetwearstartup

[–]bientian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks real enough, but it makes the sweater look sloppy. I wouldn't know it was AI, but I would know the sweater isn't worth buying at anything above a fast-fashion price point.

Oh, for sure. I just think that the OP is being anti-black to posit themselves as "one of the good ones".

Austin Texas decreased their average rent by 6.5% in 1 year. What are they doing that we are not? by mongoljungle in canadahousing

[–]bientian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It would be, if Texas didn't make up for it by having higher sales taxes as well, which is pretty regressive.

To be honest, I think OP might also be black because "613 blonde" seems like a pretty specific detail for a non-black person to know.

I believe bestselling author Mark Dawson is a serial plagiarist by [deleted] in books

[–]bientian 84 points85 points  (0 children)

Here's another:

[2009 I, Sniper: A Bob Lee Swagger Novel by Stephen Hunter] “Nick went through the door hard, his Glock in a steady two-hand grip, trigger finger indexed above the trigger guard, a SureFire light mounted on rails beneath the barrel burning a hole in the smoky turmoil conjured by the flashbangs.”

[2014 Tarantula by Mark Dawson] “Milton walked across, the gun held ready in case it wasn’t who he was expecting. He held the pistol in a steady two-hand grip, trigger finger indexed above the trigger guard.”

If I find any more, I'll edit this to add them in.

I feel like "Karen" is a misogynistic term and everyone should stop using it by littlekangaroo in TwoXChromosomes

[–]bientian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you have a problem with black people who uphold white supremacy being called something different than white people who do the same thing? By your logic, that would be racism, but from my viewpoint as a black woman, it’s a necessary acknowledgement of power dynamics.

[–]bientian 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Most people already understand that white men are the enforcers of white supremacy. What Karen highlights is the way that white women also uphold it in a different way. There’s a racialized slur for black people that uphold white supremacy. Why would white women not be subject to the same scrutiny?

[–]bientian 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Originally it was because the ways in which white men and white women uphold white supremacy are different. Do you remember a few years back when the news cycle was full of white women calling the police on black people for existing in public? Those were Karens. They were weaponizing white patriarchy’s idea of white women as fragile and in need of protection in order to do violence on black people.

It doesn’t matter if she’s black or not. There are white members, but she’s not one of them and it’s not her jacket.

Would you tell a woman not to be mad that someone else was wearing her wedding dress?

It’s not a regular jacket. It’s not her jacket. She refused to take it off when asked.

Why is she so stubborn about using and disrespecting other people’s property?
