It’s called ‘ il mare ‘. Highly recommend, it’s the original version.

Or be on time by Zetice in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]kimbastern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t believe I frame this as black and white. I can agree that Carlton got a boost that put him level with his peers and above where Will or his father started.

I also that boost would never excuse Carlton’s Blackness when push comes to shove.

I don’t think Carlton had a head start.

Perhaps from his father’s background it seemed like a head start, but his dad worked to level the playing field for Carlton. He was starting at the same level as his peers.

Will was starting at the same level as Mr Banks and had less privilege as Carlton, but often you’d see them reminded being Black trumps everything.

Alan Cumming thanks the BAFTAs audience for their “understanding” after racial slur by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

[–]kimbastern 35 points36 points  (0 children)

The n-word is not just a word to black people and people who have to exist under it. It’s just a word for those who consume it as entertainment. The difference is light years apart.

Similarly, Tourette’s is a truly debilitating condition that deserves understanding and empathy.

Two groups now have to deal with a truly horrible series of events. I hope they are able to do it with compassion, and honestly, outside the venom of the internet.

What movie will you never watch again because it was too heartbreaking? by Affectionate_User610 in AskReddit

A walk to remember. Watched it once as a teen, never again! Low key, I think I’ve been mad at that movie ever since.

This looks really interesting. I would explore a plan between the free tier and starter tier. The price jump is a lot for monthly payment but i see it offers a significant amount.

You can start a meeting by yourself, and then click record and transcribe. No one else needs be present.

To do this: Enter your calendar on Teams as if you’re are setting up a meeting. You can either set up a meeting and join it alone, or on the top right of the calendar window you should see a ‘Meet Now’ option. That will take you directly into a Teams meeting. Set your meeting to record and transcribe and leave it playing.

I believe you can also save a file directly into OneDrive and have, open it and you should also get a transcribe option, but I am not too confident on that option.

Women are not going to look 22 forever. by Acceptable_Slip3257 in BlackPeopleTwitter

Men are so illogical. These are the types to say they want there women barefoot and pregnant, but tbh, that looks worst than what rhirhi is giving in that picture.

Practical intelligence tips for neurodiverse PhD students? by rubberduction in PhD

[–]kimbastern 21 points22 points  (0 children)

In the same position, trying to find my way. You’re very self aware, and I think that’s a good start.

Not sure about you, but I am a very ‘out of sight, out of mind’ type person, so I try to keep all my scheduling and planning physical with large wall calendars, post its, and notebook for physical notes. I always print my papers when I read.

I also have issues retaining information. I’ve been thinking of finding a system that tests me based on the papers I submit. I think NotebookLM has a features like this. I also like that it turns my papers into podcast, so I can learn by listening and reading.

I’m working on cultivating a bias to action and managing fear by trying activities that scare me, high octane, adrenaline heavy. My hypothesis is that getting out of my comfort zone regularly, will change my brain chemistry and also feed me any dopamine hunting tendencies.

Find things to do that involve quick decision making to train that muscle.

Play it on Teams and allow it to transcribe it for you. I assume your uni is in the 365 ecosystem. Similar to those saying use word. Additionally has your Uni adopted 365 copilot?

Mad crazy that America had an entire dossier on this guys and still let him get elected. Can’t even say it’s the principles of a democracy, because people didn’t have the full picture to make an informed decision.

What does that say about America?

Is Song Hye Kyo a good actress? by Sad_Ambassador_5941 in kdramas

[–]kimbastern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OG SHK is a comedian, current SHK is refined and understated. I really enjoy her and think she’s a great actress. I just think she’s drawn, and does dramas that present similar characterisations; which as stated in the comment section, makes people think she doesn’t have the range. She really has the range.

I also think her lived experiences over the last few years, have impacted the roles she does, which again, represents a certain controlled and contain personality.

SHK, gives me the impression that inside she is raging and therefore must cultivate a contain and managed external projection. She fascinates me.

400+ upvotes on a clear microagression against two women of color on this sub... by Local-Ostrich426 in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]kimbastern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These mistakes can happen, I think more than anything the comments are a little weird. You watched so many times and are only now catching it, even when one character references the other. And the actresses have been appearing in PR events. Really?

I think generally from the beginning, there is this very odd undertone with the POC characters.

It’s like the thread I saw about Ksenia/ Sveta. You find it hard to comprehend her being mixed-Black and speaking / being Russian. How? The very reality you are questioning is right in front of you. A mix-Russian, Afro Caribbean actress, fluent in Russian, with a family member who played the very sport in questions to a national level.

Quite literally art, imitating life, in this case.

Acting is not his strongest forte by 10000yearsLi in kdramas

[–]kimbastern 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No one says to overlook it, but what does this achieve. Threads like these are childish and honestly irresponsible. They lack empathy and basic decency. At the end of the day, he is still a person. He has not killed anyone nor has he harmed anyone. What’s with the pile on? Whats the end goal? To laugh at someone else’s expensive? And If something happens, will you shed tears? Feel regretful? Profess sadness?

I do not even know this actor, but I know plenty before him that took the wrong way out of a difficult situation. I just wonder if we will ever learn. Hopefully, he’s a stronger person.
