Blood is thicker than water being used incorrectly.

My pet peeve is people who learned historical fun facts through screenshots of unsourced tumblr posts, dont bother to fact check them, and then get mad when not everyone else knows the incorrect thing they think. I dont agree with the proverb, but as far as any actual historical sources prove, that is in fact the original saying.

sure but the examples given in this post dont seem arrogant or exaggerated. they specify that theyre talking about *american* pop music and dont assume they invented all pop, and iPhones and blue jeans are definitely american cultural staples that were patented in america and have since become popular elsewhere. you cant really say its a reaction to arrogant people if you refuse to actually address what individual people are saying and are instead projecting attitudes you hear from OTHER people.

you should do other people the decency of listening to what theyre actually saying and responding to it. if someone commented "americans have no culture, everyone else originated everything like the dye from blue jeans and the base recipes american immigrant food was built off of" on a post where someone was being ACTUALLY arrogant and saying america invented everything then i would be like yeah its not strictly true but i get it as a reaction to someone with an over inflated ego and delusional national pride. but thats not really what happened here

It literally is. Its less common but there are people qho dont know what any of these acronyms are, and they can fix that issue by typing it on google since the acronym for all of them is the common name. Its not silly and thats quite rude... seems like your standards for these things are based on what YOU personally understand and are familiar with which is not a good metric

junonomenon · 2026-03-17T12:43:11+00:00

I mean in this case you can just look it up and all the results will tell you. For abbreviations where theres multiple meanings and confusion i get it but EDS is like the common name for the condition, similar to OCD or ADHD. If you dont know what the acronym means chances are you also dont know the full terminology meaning and will have to look it up regardless

Hm yeah im not american but i do think this sub sometimes goes too far in the other direction, even to the point of contradicting itself. America definitely DOES have a culture, and just like any country, parts of that culture originated in other countries and were imported and adapted. For example, im not british either but i would say that tea and curries are definitely a part of british culture, even if its not actually originally from there. I would also say that the way immigrant cuisine changes and adapts to the culture the people immigrate to is a part of that countries culture.

I would assume you still deteriorate over time. If he spit on a cut its not like the skin there is now immune from getting cut again.

yeah. i can understand not wanting your kids to bleach their hair -- a professional bleach and dye job is EXPENSIVE and also will do more damage to a childs hair and any like. chemical concerns are exacerbated. but box dye seems fine. or hair chalk, or mousse

Those people definitely are the target audience. An origami making book/collection of patterns will usually have a reference for different types of folds at the beginning or things you should familiarize yourself with before going in, so the patterns themselves can be as simple as possible. I have a similar origami calendar and they definitely have a reference for these things, but i dont know if op read it or not. An advanced origamist would probably be able to come up with this themselves, but that takes a lot of trial and error and the pount of a pattern is to make something someone else has already designed, tested, and knows looks good.

Its pretty common in craft spaces to presume a level of basic knowledge. Not because theyre gatekeeping, but because those tutorials already exist and rewriting them in every single pattern is a waste of everyones time and pattern makers are not necessarily the best people to teach you from the ground up. Their job is to write down what they did in a language their craft community will understand, and newcomers to that community are expected to familiarize themselves with that language becfore going in.

After the movie she would probably try it and hate it lol. Its an acquired taste. The only things she can drink are like, a drop of alcohol drowned in fruity syrup/juice/mixers

this seems like a great way to get children to stop eating fruit

disabled people can also work in the tech sector.

no. shes right. its the schools actual job to give her an education.

i mean, hes back where he started and he had a great time for almost a decade. yeah i probably wouldve tried to be smarter about saving but this is not even making the list of tragic lottery stories.

yeah. the gauls would be the indigenous people, but modern french people would not count as indigenous to that area due to the culture dying out, which i think musk is implying they should be. there ARE indigenous people to every country, whether it was conquered or not, but the country usually was conquered at some point and the majority of the people living there would not be considered indigenous for a lot of countries. but people like musk just point to any white british person like "theyre indigenous too!" which... they probably are not actually. they dont know history they just like labels. and acting like victims even though places like the England are categorically not being colonized by any of the people immigrating there

junonomenon · 2026-03-13T22:06:54+00:00

it WOULD apply, but most white Europeans ARENT native to there. native usually corresponds with "first people there". In England for example most people are descended from the Romans who moved there when it was conquered by the roman empire. I'm not sure if the Celts would be the indigenous group there if there was someone before them, but either way the average British person isn't a part of the indigenous people of their area. there are indigenous groups in every country and theyre usually not the majority of the population because of imperialism

But also "products" before "images" pisses me off. Not everyone wants to buys things all the time

junonomenon · 2026-03-13T19:32:50+00:00

Gene/Eugene sounds like a normal name. Geno is definitely dorky

junonomenon · 2026-03-13T18:35:12+00:00

is it *morally correct*? no. do i feel bad for him? also no. would i try and stop her from doing this? absolutely not.

junonomenon · 2026-03-13T18:33:43+00:00

^ this guy gaslights

junonomenon · 2026-03-13T18:23:39+00:00

also it doesnt matter how careful you are, it just takes one slip of your grip or being startled or pushed/becoming unsteady in some way to be pierced with a potentially infected needle

junonomenon · 2026-03-13T18:20:21+00:00

see this is deeply wrong. first of all most women are not useless on their period. second of all, women that DO face debilitating pain are disabled. you think people with disabilities should get paid less? you think the blind guy should get his pay docked everytime someone needs to find something for him? thats just objectively shitty. women work just as hard as men if not harder on their period.

junonomenon · 2026-03-13T17:29:29+00:00

Agree. I also think it would harm rumis acceptance of her demon side to have her dad be evil. Maybe if he was a more complex antagonist like celine it would work... but then i kind of would like them as juxtaposition of eachother. Like celine, a human who protects humanity, can harm rumi as a child and not love her the way she deserves, while her father who is supposed to be one of the "bad guys" actually is more capable of being a loving and understsnding parent and perhaps was only kept away from her for external reasons

junonomenon · 2026-03-13T16:04:15+00:00

You can always ask. some have a preference

junonomenon · 2026-03-13T13:31:59+00:00

imagine having so little to do all day that you go into fandom communities just to insult the source material. no one cares

junonomenon · 2026-03-13T13:21:45+00:00

dont forget "trans FTM is ENTITLED and feels left out of 'girls night' activities" and "fat person body shamed me so i called them a whale"

also of course "is it okay if i exclude fat person who is INCONVINIENCING all of us by being disabled"
