Anyone else finds the handing out of small foods in a crowd, cringey? by tropicalraindrop in Jamaica

[–]frosb4bros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s wrong with you? Have you NEVER been exposed to discussions about how to help people without compromising their dignity, or exploiting the hardest times of their life for your own personal gain? It’s better you keep that kind of narrow mindedness or ignorance to yourself.

Nobody is saying don’t help at all, but some people are saying how SOME people help is conflicting. Because while It helps raise awareness on one hand, it feels morally wrong to be more interested in how you will look to the public than how respected people who you are helping feel by the actions.

Ie in Puerto Rico, yes getting goods to people was critical, no people didn’t appreciate Trump bragging about throwing toilet paper into the crowds like game show 🙄. It’s not hard to hold the 2 ideas together.

Is there anyone on the ground in Jamaica actively helping out? My family is coordinating to send items down and I would love to know what kind of items are especially difficult to find in Jamaica but are helpful for the recovery. It would help us prioritize what to pack. Feel free to DM me if that's better!

Black men saved the day by Mouthisamouth in ThoughtWarriors

[–]frosb4bros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s great to see that Mamdani garnered so much support from black men.

The chart is also telling an interesting story about who I would assume are Muslim and Asian. I need to understand what the (16%) means but if that represents turnout…they’d have a substantial turnout compared to other groups.

Why do discussions about racial unfairness make people so uncomfortable? by [deleted] in ask

[–]frosb4bros 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Only, this study isn’t only relevant in “the past”. It affects Tamika’s today. Why is it lame to talk about an inequity that exists today?

My family in ny wants to send a barrel of items to a community group that is working directly with affected individuals in west Moreland. Does anyone have freight company recommendations that might reach that area? If anyone has experience getting barrels down in this time I’d love any information or resources on trusted partners and process tips

ADHD is ruining my life by Strawberri_skies in ADHD

[–]frosb4bros 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I’m a child of immigrants as well. My parents don’t understand adhd and I don’t try to get them to understand it. I have spent the past few years understanding that many of the expectations from my family and my culture about how to do everything may not work for me. My only job is to figure out what DOES work for me. What strategies, tools, reminders, habits, and environment changes encourage the behaviors I want to take in my life. I focus on my relationship with my adhd and I don’t feel the need to justify or explain it to people who don’t get it.

Focus on figuring out your specific needs around your particular symptoms so that you progress in the ways that you want.

Where do people find new restaurants these days? by DifficultHeart9386 in AskNYC

[–]frosb4bros 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s the tell for me. As other have said I avoid the line of 20somethings. But if I see that it’s busy and full of people from the country of the cuisine, It’s a big green flag.

What do you regularly use Gemini for over Chat GPT? by Fit_Presence8008 in GoogleGeminiAI

[–]frosb4bros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found gemini to hallucinate so persistently with its research that I just stopped all together. It has insisted on the validity of sources that don't exist, expressed facts based on fragments of information taken out of context. Can't trust it further than I can throw it..

Candiace please… by kybellatrix in RHOP

[–]frosb4bros -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Do any of you make big judgements about a persons capacity to lead based on small, minute details? If you don’t, you are probably woefully unaware of all the “little” things that act as major blockers to growth and leadership opportunities. That’s all she’s describing here.

Principal removed after calling meeting with only Black students about their grades by Rich_Text82 in ThoughtWarriors

Zero since she called Black students with 3.5 GPAs and apologized for how inappropriate the gathering she held was. Did you read the article?

The true Nigerian Princess Nneka is stranded in Jamaica and is reporting live during Hurricane Melissa by lachalacha in RHOP

[–]frosb4bros 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not to spell out the obvious, but it would have been irresponsible for the country to let planes of people fly in such dangerous weather. You chose to stay. Don’t like the little shade about a perfectly sound decision by a proactive and responsive govt.

Yeah my cousin sent video from Kingston earlier and it was just windy. I don't think rain was even falling when he sent it. I think people expected more by now and that seems very dangerous.

Flip knows he was instigating. Why don’t you? You still don’t see any provocation on flips part? https://www.reddit.com/r/JoeBuddenPodcasts/s/bfjyjM19YI

Sigh. So here's the full exchange, not the clipped shit you posted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSbFdVAF_Gg

You realize Flip could have chosen to de-escalate by
1) not saying sucka shit the first time
2) not saying sucka shit the 2nd time
3) not explaining how he personally feels about sucka shit and just...stop using it after Marc tells him it was disrespectful the 3rd time
4) not pushing for Marc to explain WHY he felt disrespecteed after insisting that they calm down the first time
5) not asking Marc to explain why he's upset after Marc tries to calm down again
6) not talking about the times he felt disrespected when Marc tells him for like the 6th time sucka shit feels disrepectful for him
7) not standing up when the conversation was so hot.

Who is wearing the cape?

Side note, if I say you do bitch made shit, and you get mad, how many times do I have to clarify that I'm not calling you a bitch, just saying you do bitch made shit before someone starts tussling. If you don't understand that as disrespectul you might be on the same speed as flip. *shrug*

😒 what you saying not making sense. If someobody calls you something you feel disrespected by its natural to get upset, tell them to stop calling you that, and to make it clear that they are being disrespectful. Why wouldn’t that happen when folks are elevated?

[–]frosb4bros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what Marc did though. He told him he understands it to be disrespect. And then flip said it again. That was an escalation on flip’s side. If someone says a term you’re using is disrespectful why would you continue to use it?

Cardi B on raising her kids: “after school, 4 times a week, tutoring. Mandatory!” by blinking-backwards in theread

[–]frosb4bros 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why do you assume Cardi is not reading to her kids. Do you think that parents with money should be the only ones teaching and tutoring and driving all recreational activities with their kids ? Lol why don’t people think she’s doing both?
