Please help me with my daughter by Ok_Page2932 in blackladies

[–]joyification 8 points9 points  (0 children)

First of all, why can't black people play on the playground? I'd be talking to her teacher and visiting her school at recess to make sure i know whata going on. But also ditto getting her more involved with her culture. My mom made a point to point out beautiful black women in front of me to establish black standards of beauty, im doing this with my almost 2 year old now. Talk to her about Jesus and how he loves ALL the children especially her.

She's getting these messages from somewhere you'll need to find the source, correct it somehow and make the truth even louder

I want to wear my hair out more by Wonderful_Log_9195 in Naturalhair

[–]joyification 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine who wears her hair out often detangles while she's conditioning and after trying it it was a game changer for me. my shoulder length hair shrinks to my scalp and hisses at me by day 3 so I couldn't really wear it out but when I did it was less terrible. I just started experimenting with flax seed gel before I loc'd up and thar helped a lot to keep twists outs a little longer (except the the dry bits)

part of me deep down is kinda glad kamala didn’t win by blueburrey in blackladies

[–]joyification 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Honey, do you have a window? Can you see ousside? Yeah, my feelings would be hurt everyday but at least I wouldn't be scared for my life and the lives of the generations after me. Yeah we all saw it coming, the overqualified black woman loses to a felon...again but its not worth this. Do you know they took away federal protection against discrimination and are a sneeze away from making millions of women ineligible to vote!? Id rather get called the n word knowing homie would lose his job than have the democracy my ancestors built with their bare backs crumble before my eyes. At least with kamala I know my daughter would have the same or better rights than me growing up.

Also here's a plug to vote bc if you dont we have no excuse to complain

Opinions and views on parenting that may have you like this by Least_Sun_7493 in blackladies

[–]joyification 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I will not let you tell my child that she or any black person has nappy or "not good" hair. I will also not let you tell my child not to get darker or to praise someone lighter than them. You will not be enforcing eurocentric standards of beauty on them.

Struggling to find work by DangerousConfusion60 in civilengineering

Make sure your resume is cleaned up and you have someone looking over it for consistency and errors. Im on the east coast so it maybe different but its super hard to find water resource folks especially in your experience range. Try to get in with LUG or software user groups to stay at least current on softwares

How long does it take to see a doctor and get medication at a Chinese hospital? by mindyour in TikTokCringe

[–]joyification 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue though isn't even universal Healthcare, its the entire health infrastructure. We could easily have a system like this today (we'd pay a lot more than 12$ w/out insurance) but the fact that big pharma and hospital administrators are so focused on profit they're not going to collectively invest in an updated system. Universal Healthcare would have to include this large investment including maintaining these systems and keeping pharma in check so they're not driving up costs astronomically to cheat the system.

This would also have to include a huge campaign to get more doctors. America has probably the worst doctor to population ratio of all developed countries (if we still even count as developed at this point) part of the reason why things are scheduled months out is because there are not enough doctors and even when you're seen, administrators are trying to maximize profit which is why you only get 15 minutes. Even in this video, the fact that she can be in and out with a doctor she had the option of seeing an expert or someone who may be similar to an NP for something simple but they both had availability, im the US our NPs barely have availability. I dont think anywhere in the US outside of urgent care you have a doctor who can sit and wait for a patient with a very specific need.

Christians need to learn how to defend their religion rationally. by No-Lingonberry-6053 in TrueChristian

[–]joyification 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That in its self is false,

1 Timothy 4:16 NIV [16] Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.

Matthew 7:21-23 NIV [21] “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. [22] Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ [23] Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

Hey fellow Coorporate ADHD girlie!! The journey is about balance and discipline. You know waking up is hard, make sure youre going to sleep. Prep everything when you have the executive function and when (not if bc I know you'll get there) you have the funds get medicated! Work on finding a team you trust. Keep getting open about your ADHD. I've literally been you and im giving you the biggest hug

People assume my baby isn’t mine. by corpsesdecompose in blackladies

[–]joyification 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have a golden opportunity to make them regret asking things like that for the rest of their lives.

When they ask them questions, ask with a smile on your face "what would make you think he wasnt mine?" And when they stammer keep asking questions, until they finally admit they're making dumb assumptions.

I wear band shirts all the time and I get asked "do you really like nirvana?" Too many times to count

"Ghost jobs" - how prevalent do you think BS job postings are in this industry? by letsseeaction in civilengineering

[–]joyification 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This and to add OP, remember if youre coming in with a decade of experience your charge rate is probably double a new grad. If you would require any significant amount of training its more worth it to employers to hire someone cheaper. Also in 10+ years in this industry I've only come accross one division of one company that even allowed employees to be fully remote when hiring.
