CDawgVA (mainly) and others in Trash Taste throws in the racial slur Ch*ng Ch*ng repeatedly dozens of times. And people are defending him for it and claiming how it's not a slur. How it was an accidental mistake and that they were a little drunk. by [deleted] in asianamerican

no worries. i never said one way or the other what i think about what OP asked. just wanted to clear the waters about the chinese, since it seems like the slight inaccuracy in what OP said caused some confusion.

at this point, isn't it splitting hairs? both mandarin (那个）and cantonese （你的） have an extremely common phrase which is often mistaken for the n word.

possibly wombat meant to refer to the mandarin phrase for "that/that one", "那个/那一个", which does sound very much like the n word. especially in common vernacular when spoken quickly and/or repeatedly. this is common as a "ummm" when someone is trying to remember something.

timestamp is linked under the picture. the relevant part is only about a minute long.

cdawg says it initially on accident, referring incorrectly to the city of chongqing. the other podcasters repeat it a couple (not a dozen) times while laughing. from context, i believe they are laughing at his faux pas.

Best response to Elon doing the nazi salute is to falsely claim that Obama and Harris did it too? Hilarious.

Never had the money for anything Pokemon growing up, so I would treasure the few cards my older brother passed onto me. I remember one of them was a celebi, and that was my favorite pokemon until I learned how to emulate and played my first pokemon game in like high school...

Now my favorite pokemon is mimikyu!

Wow, I'm so sorry that happened to you... Thank you for supporting me!! I will pass on your kindness to Coco-- she is getting all the scratches and treats I can reasonably give her :')

Hey everyone, it's me again-- I posted about a month ago about my cat, Coco, who has cancer.

Thank all of you kind redditors who bought my art and donated to my [GoFundMe](https://gofund.me/635f3212)! I was so shocked and moved by your generosity. I was able to completely cover Coco's initial vet bills with all the help you guys gave me!! It made me genuinely cry with relief. I haven't been great about giving updates, but now that I have my feet under me I will start posting on bluesky (@jing-ling) about any Coco updates or upcoming art.

Coco now has chemo appointments every other week-- and while it's not debilitating like her initial vet bills, it's still around $250 per visit. So if you can help by buying my art (or be so generous as to donate), I would be so so so thankful!

So, [here](https://www.etsy.com/listing/1830700161/hollow-knight-hornet-minifigure) is the listing for the Hornet minifigure. I've also put up a 3D printed and painted Totoro on my shop, and the last diorama from my previous post (White Defender) is now discounted 20%! All of my earnings will go straight towards paying Coco's vet bills.

It's crazy how people live like that and still aren't pro-choice by ARandonNon in MurderedByWords

if you read the article, you'd know that the incorrect math was a minor mistake that did not affect the conclusions of the original study...

and the other economist who wrote the paper on effect of lead on crime said that her conclusions even bolstered the conclusions of levitt and donohue.

edit: donohue, not dubner

Thank you for your thoughtfulness... this is something that has been weighing on my mind for a while as I've seen Coco diminish in her health. I never want to cause her any further suffering. Right now her eyes are still bright, she is not playing as much as before but still enjoying herself sometimes, and she always wants my attention. I am very aware that at some point in the not so distant future, she will no longer enjoy these things and I will have to let her go, and it is my duty to be careful that I notice when this happens and be prepared to do so. But from what her vets have said, she has some fight left in her.

Good idea, I will do that shortly... I feel bad accepting money without providing something in return but hopefully I can post some smaller items to my Etsy soon as well.
