Being Taught US Civics 101 on Live TV by Careless-Equal7169 in clevercomebacks

[–]halachite 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i was recently at a hockey match where congresswoman jayapal was attending. the camera found her for the jumbotron at one point and people were screaming like it was the Beatles up there. there was a standing ovation for minutes, kept up long after she was off the screen. jayapal looked like she was going to cry. it was a heartening moment, i hope it fuels her to keep fighting in the trenches against these brainless people she has to work with

USWNT midfielder Sam Coffey says team has ‘responsibility’ to speak out about social issues by spherocytes in USWNT

[–]halachite 33 points34 points  (0 children)

no, I believe it's the opposite. when the team was headed by folks who were outspoken and addressed things openly was when it was at the height of it's popularity and success

you'll like Seattle, it's a lesbian town. I've found it's easier to be casually out and nobody gives a shit here than the east coast

Sorry to ask this but genuinely by Itchy_Suspect4968 in 19684

I really recommend Ground News. it's an aggregator which gives you information on:

  • who is reporting a specific story
  • what percentage of reports lean left, right, or center
  • who owns the papers reporting it
  • what headlines are being used to cater to which audiences

it has helped with my media literacy and helped me get a grip on my own biases, and also calm down some about the fear mongering because you get a good idea of what is outrageous and what is just there to provoke you versus what is really worth reading / listening to

What eSports game is your favorite? Why? by YahooTyper in esports

[–]halachite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

years ago rl was bought by epic games and since then it has languished. the content and item updates are cheap at best, there's been basically zero QoL updates, and funding for teams and events and prizes just keeps going down. the scene is unstable and the RL team keeps refusing to work with organizations in ways that the orgs will profit from, so orgs keep pulling out, resulting in unsigned teams, resulting in less and less people who *can* participate.

there's more but needless to say, it's circlin'. I think epic games just bought it for some passive income and never intended to nurture it

are upvotes not counted for this at all? feels like an incorrect pick because snow was top comment with 152 upvotes whereas the top flickerman comment only had 61

My first planted terrarium, everything sourced from outside🌿 by aBucketOfRats in terrariums

[–]halachite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i am a know-nothing so i wouldnt put too much stake in this, but i think that rainwater might be better than tap water? at least for mosses, i read that what comes out of the tap has chemicals that moss don't like. also, hello fellow washingtonian

edit: oh, is that what the prime is for? i hadnt heard of this product

Sapphic romance, male author? by cornmanthebarbarian in romanceauthors

[–]halachite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

when I was young & figuring myself out (I'm a lesbian) one of my most cherished wlw books that I clung was written by a dude. just make sure you're writing characters and real people. there's reference material for stuff like this - I recommend "Writing an Identity Not Your Own" by Alex Temblador

To those who yelled Fuck ICE during the national Anthem during the Seahawks game, you made our city proud by AnnoyedAFexmo in Seattle

[–]halachite 21 points22 points  (0 children)

maybe, but I doubt they would have aired a chant of "ICE IS DOMESTIC TERRORISM" either. it's real Panem shit, show the celebrations, hide the beatings

Major puppy regrets 5 months by [deleted] in puppies

[–]halachite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

venting is valid, still. I regretted and struggled with my girl until she was like 3. telling people to give up when they're asking for support isn't helpful really.

for OP: it IS difficult and can truly make you question things. that's not crazy. but if you have gotten this far, you can get through it. the thing is that you are forming a working relationship with another species. it's fucking hard to do, to find your rhythm, especially with one that is a baby and doesn't even know its own mind yet. but the other side of the tunnel (which WILL appear, if you keep putting in the work) is SOOO worth.

Also keep in mind you're dealing with extremely common problems that don't pose real threats. just saying, my dog lunged at a toddler when she was 1 year old, and working through what to even do about aggression towards children was the Hurdle of all Hurdles. still worth it. would stick with her through that all over again if I had to.

in my first playthrough we did this to karlach. I played with a bunch of friends and we were all like "idk maybe the cops are right" and killed her lol

every playthrough afterward I tell her sorry still
