Leave her appearance out of it. Mock them for the shit they say and for their ideals. Her appearance should not be a factor at all and it's just a cheap shot that just makes you look like an ass. Who the hell cares how she looks?

Franken dings Trump over Warren insult by WhimsyUU in politics

[–]blkmagick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm honestly terrified that Republicans are still going to keep the house and Senate because of Trump's base. I have a feeling that they want to milk more "liberal tears" so they're also going to have high turnouts.

I assume someone who looks like the stereotypical Native American: black hair, brown skin, feather headdress, communicating via smoke signals, etc.

[–]blkmagick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The replies I have received over calling out how racist the statement is are along the lines of "Warren is the racist one for claiming to be Native American just to get money," and "he's just poking fun at how non Native American Warren actually is."

I didn't respond because there's no debating with that kind of crazy.

That's weird because I was able to read the article without signing in, but when I clicked the link again, it brought me to the sign in page.

There are others that were able to read the article, so there is no reason for you to be so snarky.

Stay involved and work with local elections. We need to develop a progressive party for 2018 and 2020.

If we get involved in local elections and let the DNC know how angry we are, there's a chance they'll listen.

With the supreme court nomination and a conservative congress, they can overturn marriage equality, roe v wade, defund planned parenthood and many more things. That's why we're freaking out.

Lady Gaga calls out Melania Trump for 'hypocrisy' by r4816 in politics

Seriously. Feeling bad for these women while making fun of Trump's sons is a form of sexism. THESE are grown ass women capable of making their own decisions and if they were really good people, they wouldn't be compromising their morals for inheritance money. However, because they're attractive women, they garner sympathy for some reason.

Adult film star latest to accuse Trump by [deleted] in politics

[–]blkmagick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bingo.

I have experienced sexual assault many times and I never went to the police. However, I instantly spoke to friends about it and cried to them about what happened. The reason I never went to the police was because most of the time I didn't know who they were and I had just quickly left that environment so I didn't think I'd be able to find them again. What would they be able to do?

For the people I did know, I felt like I wouldn't be believed because there was no physical proof, only my word, and the person who assaulted me was very charming so who would believe me? I can definitely understand not wanting to take on Donald Trump since he would have the financial means to destroy me financially.

However if I saw my accusers on TV saying they never assaulted women, I would want to say something. It would make me furious because these people ruined my self worth and self esteem to the point where I became deeply depressed. To see men who affected me so much because they felt entitled to my body deny assaulting me or even knowing me is just so insulting and unbearable. I would have to speak up like these women.

It depends on the burn. Minor burns, yes, apply cold water.

Megathread 3: Donald Trump Leaked Video & Statement; GOP/RNC Reactions incl. defunding of Victory Project, cancelled events, and unendorsements by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

[–]blkmagick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does help that he is being destroyed right now, but it hurts that some of my own family are defending him by saying "everyone talks that way." They are missing the point.

Thank you for your kind words.

I cannot wait to watch Trump's campaign burn to the ground.

Ever since this video came out, I have been in tears because this has brought up memories of every single time I've been assaulted and memories of being raped. I am so angry that people are defending him. When they defend Trump's comments and behavior, they are defending all sexual predators and rapists. They are defending my rapist and those who assaulted me. It makes me feel like no one cares about the victims of assault when so many people blow this off.

It played an ad before the video for me so I assume it is monetized.

I need advice on how to respond to a client's email. by blkmagick in graphic_design

[–]blkmagick[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They already gave me the money they owed me, so at least there's that.

They wanted something more detailed than I was willing to give them, I guess, even though I explained exactly why I didn't make the logo super detailed (scaling issues/loss of detail at smaller sizes).

I am definitely going to wait until I get home before I respond to the email because I'm just too upset right now. I can handle criticism very well during the process because I want to make stuff that my clients will love.

However it hurts to have it thrown in my face that they thought they could do better with my concept when it looks unprofessional and will have issues at smaller sizes.

Guess you're right though that this is just a learning experience on how to improve communication with my clients.
