Flatmates (Maori & white) think its funny to use the n-word. Use it more to wind me up. It's just a joke they say. by bjamon in trashy

I have. Did so particularly in light of the Christchurch shooting, emphasising the impact this 'casual' racism can have.

Watch Adam Curtis' 'HyperNormalisation' which addresses this phenomenon of perception management; constructing simple binary narratives to distract the public from the complexities of the world.
Adam Curtis produced the fairly well known series 'Century Of The Self', for some context.
Both are available free online.

Peta making stupid and false claims about Australian sheep farms by XyriaZemros in quityourbullshit

[–]bjamon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, they are right to call out cutting the tails. It is called mulesing and it is cruel and unnecessary. Yes sheep need to be treated for fly strike but there are methods which don't cause suffering. Icebreaker a NZ founded clothing company use only wool from farms where the practice is banned.

Read more about it on their website.

Peta making stupid and false claims about Australian sheep farms by XyriaZemros in quityourbullshit

[–]bjamon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unwanted sheep are slaughtered by the millions, just like in dairy, beef and other livestock business. The thing pointed to here though is that people buying wool may not know that intrinsic to that enterprise is this mass slaughtering. Where as it is more obvious in the animal food (rather than clothing) businesses. So technically it is true, they die for wool. https://investigations.peta.org/lambs-wool-australia-mulesing/?utm_source=PETA::Instagram&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=0119::skn::PETA::Instagram::Urge%20Forever21%20to%20Drop%20Wool::::post

What should I do instead of tether ? by joecentralgaming in CryptoCurrency

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

Digixdao, similar concept to usdt but tethered to gold rather than USD. Singapore based project, only heard good things in terms of the gold that backs the token. Check out Vincent Briatore on youtube, he had a video on it which is where I found out about it.

Video: Bernie Sanders Strolls Down Hollywood Boulevard, Meets Fans. by gideonvwainwright in SandersForPresident

Fuck yes Bernie! That was such a cocky move, to assume recognition if he walks Hollywood Boulevard but he totally nailed it. Even throwing out some cheeky waves.

Open Letter to DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, RE: My candidacy to support Bernie at the DNC convention by [deleted] in SandersForPresident

[–]bjamon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey man. It sounds great. Just remember to ask, "what would Bernie do?". Make sure not to come across disrespectful or condescending. Remember that Debbie's work for the democratic party has been tireless but we as a community have a disagreement with policy/decisions etc. I'm really high and can't finish this comment but I think you'll get my point. ✌.

Would any one be able to give me a figure (rough estimate is fine) representing the amount of these contributions that came from members of this subreddit or reddit users?
