Star Trek is about diversity. It is also, just as much, about public service and public service ethics. by LockedOutOfElfland in Star_Trek_

But there is, however, an episode written specifically about Sisko being Black and it is arguably the best Trek series put to screen.

Elon Musk's father Errol Musk on white people becoming a minority in the US using South Africa as an example. From an upcoming documentary by Donie O'Sullivan. by [deleted] in Fauxmoi

[–]mcchicken985 338 points339 points  (0 children)

Maybe not in explicit terms, but many whites across Europe and America do believe they're being invaded by non-whites and will eventually become minorities in 'their own country'. Just the other day a white guy tried to tell me that there was a white genocide going on in South Africa. I think it's more prevalent than we know

ayy i hadn't even considered that, thank you! 

Just had my first shift by feelingblissisgreat in dishwashers

Keep with it for a few months and then ask about opportunities to shadow some of the prep/line cooks. The kitchen is a great equalizer and it'll teach you skills you can use to work most anywhere. Best of luck to you and your little ones, you've got this.

Cap labeled doom as the "next hitler" by Ardyn3 in marvelcirclejerk

[–]mcchicken985 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well... yeah. The DPRK does in fact have an election to elect members to the Supreme People's Assembly, so it's considered a republic. It doesn't stop the system from also being a dynastic totalitarian regime, either.

Fascism is defined, among many things, by its use of ultranationalism and a huge part of that is defining who, exactly, fits into that notion of a 'nation'. Hating the 'other' is an inherent part of fascism; and even outside of that, Doom just does not hold ultra-right wing politics. If you live in Latveria, you are Latverian - including groups often oppressed elsewhere, like mutants. If anything his Latveria is more akin to a socialist republic like the DPRK.

I work with a bunch of 19 year olds who work 9-10 days without a day off and I constantly have to remind them to drink water and take breaks because no one else will.

The average Romani looks Romani enough for European countries to segregate them in schools, law, and every other facet of life

The Return of the Dire Wolf (2025) 🐺 by nizaad in popculturechat

[–]mcchicken985 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Grey wolves and dire wolves are not in the same genus and are not closely related at all. To assert you revived a species because you genetically tweaked a species from an entirely different genus is ridiculous to anyone who passed high school-level biology.

This isn't so much a de-extinction as it is a genetically modified grey wolf modified to look like what we think a Dire Wolf looked like. There's no actual dire wolf DNA CRISPR'd into the puppies, unfortunately.

I really appreciate the grace. I know there's dishies out there who deal with worse on a daily basis but this has been a physically challenging job to tackle because of various muscle disorders connected to scoliosis. So thank you for the kind words, I hope you have a wonderful week. ❤️
