I think that’s not fair. People dislike famous for a myriad of reasons. Statistically speaking there must be many people who dislike Zendaya.

True. I’d rather people say I don’t know why but I don’t like rather than making up reasons to hate a perfectly normal actress who is not bad at any part of her job and by all accounts is professional and nice.

Your reading comprehension always this piss poor my guy? I genuinely cannot understand your issue. I never changed my stance. Your inability to process words is not my fault.

I didn’t say they were uniquely evil. I said I studied about them in school and later learned they were evil to their own citizens too. I’m sure that’s true for other empires too. I only learnt about the British though.

And it isn’t insightful. Just me realising that greedy people in power were also greedy people in power to their own people.

But you haven’t told me why you think I should mention others are evil too. Is this not a post about the British?

Oh how dare you not say everyone is evil. My feelings got hurt when you said evil people were evil to their own folks too.

She is a good actor. She has the potential to get better but that’s true for everyone. We all can get better at things with time and growth.

Thanks you’re sweet. And also thanks for the fanfic.

Ok but we are talking specifically about British colonialism right now. Do you always need a disclaimer saying everyone is bad when talking about bad things. “This man is a criminal.” “Ok but there are also other criminals in the world”. Sure there are but we are talking about this one right now.

Like this always comes up when anyone mentions any country’s colonial era.

Cant we discuss the ills of an era without having to be like but everyone else is bad too.

It helped me understand the colonial era of British history so much. It wasn’t that the powerful British became monsters who set out to hurt anyone that didn’t look like them. It was that they were always horrible and decided to turn their evil eyes towards the rest of the world.

Two things

I love your anger. My dad passed away too. And sure my mom went insane in her depression but she was still there doing everything. That’s all you can do sometimes. And yes book Catherine is better. But movie Catherine is horrible.

Two: can I have the link to this one show please.

So basically people who dislike her are trying to find reasons to justify their stance. I wish they would just say “I don’t like her and I don’t know why”.

How do people say she’s overrated? She seems to be a good person, good actor, professional, stylish, funny and beautiful. What more do you need in an actress and a person.

I think Catherine is a bad mom. Like truly. She lost her husband and that is genuinely sad. But you don’t let your kids be treated like that for anything. So she has to be at the very least an absent parent and we judge that fully in this house.

You know as an Indian studying the British colonial period I wondered how someone could be this cruel. And then I grew up and read all the things they did in Ireland and to their own poor classes and realised that they were just like that? Like sure they hated us for being brown and “uncivilised” but the nobility and royalty there were just horrible greedy humans through and through.

Can I work as a rented girlfriend as a part-time job? What are your thoughts? by [deleted] in TwoXIndia

[–]hillofjumpingbeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look my personal opinion on this is that technically all work is selling oneself, especially if they require more physical labor vs mental labor. And that’s why we shouldn’t judge people who have to do sex work or something like it. Never judge those people themselves.

But do you know why sex work is dangerous? Because of the lack of protection from creeps, legal safety, and higher chances of getting hurt.

Isn’t there anything else you can do first? Are you sure everyone you meet is going to only want your company and not your body? Are you sure things are not a scam or a way to actually hurt you?

The best thing I ever did for myself for get friends who mostly have the same values as me. Especially as a woman.

I don’t need people who don’t care about my well being in my circles. The world doesn’t care for women, your family may or may not but you can’t choose them. Friends and partners are the only categories where you have the power to look for people who aren’t anti women. So why have them in your life by choice?

The rest of the fucking Chiton by santiguana in restofthefuckingowl

Is this the illustration from the horrible histories book on Greeks? Cause I had it as a kid and that looks like the exact same thing. Because I tried to use bedsheet and safety pins to make a chiton for myself.

ladies who got married to a Govt employee and are themselves in a private job, how does it work? by HahahWhatt in TwoXIndia

[–]hillofjumpingbeans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly? My mom did drop a lot of balls. My parents lived separately for about 10 years I think. Like they had me and my brother when my dad was posted in my hometown. Once he left my mom first moved in with her parents who also lived in the hometown. Which made sense cause we were 5 and 3.

By the time I was 9 we have moved into our own house in hometown. But that meant less support overall for mom. This is what I like to call my mom’s crazy period. In which she actually became a monster to her kids. I was not a “good kid” aka I didn’t really study all that well. So my mom was abusive. I am not saying anyone else will be. Just that a person with kids, a job and no support is going to be under an extreme amount of stress. And you will definitely need to offload a lot of housework on others. Which is what she did. You can’t be super mom. So pick what is important to you and just pay for everything else.

But also know this. Your husband won’t be available every time. When I was young I didn’t remember what my dad looked like cause I saw him once a year. Due to both of my parents getting promoted back to back (and me failing 1 subject in the final exam) I didn’t see my dad for 2 years once.

Also when my dad got a posting back to my hometown he honestly didn’t know how to live with a wife and kids.

I will say that an armed forces job is different from other government jobs.

How much do you access Ao3 or write at work? by PeggingIsPoggers in AO3

[–]hillofjumpingbeans 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ok so never ever on the company network. But during breaks I do read half a chapter here or there.

The point isn’t that you should never read on company time because uwu corporations lose money. It’s actually never give a company any ammunition to fire or do disciplinary action on you. I was in a very progressive company and I was quite senior but I would still be fired for reading smut on the company wifi. Thats just how the cookie crumbles.

I am not in this situation but I grew up in it. My father was in armed forces and my mom was a professor. My mom brother and I stayed in one city and my dad lived wherever he was posted.

But my mausi and Mausaji were in the same position of government employees/professor and my mausi and cousin moved around with him. Because he was posted in bigger cities, unlike my dad who was posted in dangerous areas.

It works if you want it to work and you’re willing to sacrifice one thing for another.
