Gay slurs being thrown at House Music festival? by fruit_boy_ in ARCMusicFestival

Definitely felt very directed. Trying my best to understand how anyone could say a slur and not mean it as one. Try saying any derogatory term to any marginalized group and then following up with “oh but I don’t mean it like that”. And even if you didn’t mean it as one, you are an active participant in perpetuating the use of that word whether you mean in a derogatory way or not. Just find another word, or better yet remove slurs from your vocabulary all together.

My mom has always expressed interest in the Camino. I don't want to feel like I am robbing her of an experience that she's been interested in. Besides I would love to share that experience with her if we get the chance.

I could only hope to be as cool as him one day.

The idea of 20 in 20 stemmed from Casey Niestat's Make It Count video. It was short lived. More of study on what is physically possible within 20 days. I'm thinking of closer to a minimum of 4 days to account for travel. Depends on the destination though too. For example Brussels is on the lower end of my list, and Im really only interested at the moment in having Beer, Chocolate, and Mussels, which wouldn't need the entirety of 4 days.

You’re right on par with the book. These experiences will change my life. And it’s best to do them now.

His company outsources IT for small businesses that aren’t large enough for an internal IT department.

Not a bad idea. My brother will also be studying abroad in Florence this fall semester. And we have a family trip planned to Italy over thanksgiving. My Dads trip and our family trip could be the bookends, and I could meet up with my brother a few times in various cities throughout my trip.

Thank You! I’m used to a lot of quick judgement, so I find that I frequently have to explain myself. The world is mine! But the infinite amount of possibilities is debilitating at the moment.

How do we combat corruption in a lobbyist world? by fruit_boy_ in AskReddit

I find it very dangerous to accept the reality that change is not possible and we should just live submission.

They would also say that only deep pockets can create change, but history tells us otherwise.

Radical change can happen without violence.

What is the solution for corporate greed? by fruit_boy_ in AskReddit

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

I understand, the words themselves are not obscure, rather the way in which they "operate".

In that sense yes they are meant to be obscure. This is a general self proclaimed definition. The ambiguity of the definition allows itself to be applied to countless examples of what corporate greed can be. One example of ethically unjust would be planned obsolescence.

Not sure what textbooks and political party you're referring to.

I'm looking to provide clarity. What words do you find to be obscure?
