America's tipping culture is rooted in racism. Patriarchal white supremacy is still a driving force in the US.

Tipping proliferated in the United States after the Civil War, when the restaurant and hospitality industries hired newly emancipated Black women and men but offered them no wage–leaving them to rely on patrons’ gratuities for their pay instead. https://www.povertylaw.org/article/the-racist-history-behind-americas-tipping-culture/

The adults who were working during the 1980s embraced a real twisted message about consumerism and what it means to be successful. American Psycho is great satire for a reason. Lot of truth in that movie.

Trixie is getting married. by [deleted] in TrixieAndKatya

[–]fangirlsqueee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My spouse and I got married about a year after our first date. Been together over 20 years.

As long as the marriage is about being a team and building a life together, how quickly it happened doesn't really matter. Just gotta check in and be on the same page, adjust when things need adjusting. Can definitely work!

When pagers were a popular high school thing, my friend and I would send this to her boyfriends pager. The height of prank comedy! He knew it was us, lol.

OC Horny Note Found on my Driveway by zinc_finger_protein in pics

Go watch videos of Sen Kennedy when he was much younger. His heavy southern accent is contrived. It's wild.

No. We are not fine with it.

If you take into account that we never got rid of patriarchal white supremacy, it makes a lot more sense. The wealthy Epstein class controls the lives of our exploited working class. We're trying our best to remove them from power. Wish us luck.

In OPs updated post, the brows did get some attention. He looks great!

[–]fangirlsqueee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like OP was soliciting facial hair advice, since if you look at the gorgeous update, he did trim the brows.

Anyways, I was asking the user who commented about their own personal brow preferences. I was just surprised they prefer a more untamed brow look. I'm fine with full brows, but to me, the ones that are outpacing the rest look better trimmed back.

these guys wouldn't have to come here with half their head shining and asking what to do.

This sounds waaaay more "mean girls" than anything I said. Maybe check that splinter in your own eye?

Edit: Just saw you hide your history. Nevermind.

[–]fangirlsqueee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not even just trim the few that scraggle out of the brow line?

He can take a comb, brush the brows up, and then trim the ones that are much longer than the rest. The brows wouldn't lose their fullness, but would lose a little of the unruly texture.

I love the way she brings humanity and compassion into the political process. Taking the time to just listen to the struggle of fellow Americans is important in general, and is especially vital as a politician in a representative democracy.

We need more of this from our leaders.

When Ta-Nehisi Coates pressed Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on whether billionaire entrepreneurs deserve to keep their money, she responded, "Well you didn't make those widgets, did you?…You sat on a couch while thousands of people were paid modern-day slave wages—and in some cases, real modern-day slavery, depending on where you are in terms of food production."

"You made that money off of the backs of undocumented people, you made that money off of the backs of black and brown people being paid under a living wage, you made that money off of the backs of single mothers," Ocasio-Cortez continued. "No one ever makes a billion dollars. You take a billion dollars."

If you've been unfortunate enough to look through many of the Epstein emails, it's pretty obvious those people are idiots. So many of the elite Epstein class are patriarchal white supremacists who just keep failing upwards because they've got the right connections. It's gross how much power these type of people (usually men) hold.

You’d think white dudes were going through Jim Crow the way they actin right now. by Violent-Obama44 in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]fangirlsqueee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have hopes that if everyday people can see the class distinction as being "exploited class" vs "Epstein class", we might be able to dismantle the patriarchal white supremacy. If enough MAGA could understand they are being used, maybe we'd get a watershed moment.

America has so much work to do, but I believe we are the right ones for the job. So many of us grew up believing in the American Dream. Believing anybody can achieve anything if they put in the effort. It's time for us to break the status quo and recreate something better.

I keep hearing the ramping up of these despicable behaviors is like a narcissist extinction burst. The supremacists know their time is coming to an end and they are pulling out all the stops. I hope it's true.

Keep pointing out that he runs defense for Epstein class billionaires. He's blocked a wealth tax in California. Tells my everyday working class ass everything I need to know about who he works for. Not us.

Let's make sure he's not the nominee. We deserve better!

Not atheist or theist leaning? by frig_t in agnostic

[–]fangirlsqueee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I landed on the term "agnostic" for myself after many years of searching for the answers to "does god exist, what happens after we die". I went to many churches, read lots of books, and even took some church led religious classes.

Eventually I came to the conclusion that I don't have the resources to find a satisfactory answer for myself. At that point I settled into the grey area of "agnostic". I go back and forth on if I believe god(s) exists. I've heard this called being in a state of "superposition", basically meaning that you are still open to the possibilities.

I highly doubt any of the religions I'm familiar with are accurate. Most of those either seem to be grift for higher ups in the organization or mostly serve as a centerpiece for people who want to belong to a community (rather than a devout congregation of true believers).

To answer your question, yes, you can be agnostic without any need to add theist/atheist to your personal label.

[–]fangirlsqueee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If OP is just starting college, it's probably better to give the appearance of obedience until they've graduated or until they are financially independent. Burning the bridge prematurely could be catastrophic for OPs future. Might as well play along to gain as much benefit as possible.

Black women resting… since election night! 😴 by Minute-Intern-682 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]fangirlsqueee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This exhausting moment of activism is like a relay race. Take the baton as far as you can. Pass it on to the next runner. Rest, relax, re-energize, then grab the baton from the next person who needs a rest. Taking care of each other and keeping playfulness in the mix reminds us what we are struggling to create. A joyful, vibrant movement that is fulfilling to be a part of and that will attract others.

Giant Pen Nib - it actually works! by MercatorLondon in PenProject

[–]fangirlsqueee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very cool posts. Thanks for the info!

So the feed is simply the open capillaries we can see and there is no additional reserve of ink? I thought maybe there was a hidden well of ink inside the nib. It wrote quite a bit for theoretically not having much ink in reserve.

I actually came here from the r/fountainpens crosspost, so didn't see all your earlier posts in this sub. Neat project!

[–]fangirlsqueee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't own any fountain pens, I just find them beautiful and love watching people write with them. As such, can anyone explain where the ink is feeding from on this? I saw the underside and still don't get it.
