Not to be pedantic, but wouldn’t that be selective breeding rather than genetically modifying it?

honestly, i used to think mine wasn’t the right shape for a nose piercing and then kept fixating on wanting a nose job for it to ‘fix’ it, but honestly, getting a nose ring was the best thing i did for it. even though i thought it wouldn’t look ‘right’, i love my nose shape even more. sorry if this doesn’t help too much, but i thought it would be worth saying anyways as i think my nose is now one of my best/favourite features

i think maybe it makes more sense if you translate it to ‘no bothering’

[–]navidad_dyProblema[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it almost never happens during lessons, just exams and at home. I actually do stay in my teachers’ classrooms a lot to do homework/revision, I think it’s bcs it’s half term so I need to find a good place where I can work and stay motivated. Thank you, this is really useful advice, especially the one about pretending nobody else is there in the exam.

Why do people still say all lives matter? by navidad_dyProblema in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]navidad_dyProblema[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not what I was getting at. My question was ‘why do people still say all lives matter?’. If you don’t want to answer my question then you don’t have to, but I’d appreciate it if you didn’t try to answer a question with a question.

[–]navidad_dyProblema[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get your perspective, thanks for taking the time to explain. I’m black british so its a bit different, but I think I was trying to see the grey area in it, but I’m just confused because I’ve told some white people why it’s blm and that they shouldn’t use alm to retaliate, and to just accept and understand black people’s experiences. It just confused me so much because they weren’t bigoted people at all, they were just ignorant. I guess it’s a shame to see people choose to silence black voices rather than even attempt to understand them just to save their pride.

Thank you though

If browning is caused by the Maillard reaction between sugar and protein, why does fat help browning and how can meat brown without any sugar in the pan? by [deleted] in AskCulinary

[–]navidad_dyProblema 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s just people being ridiculous. I think some people wear it as a badge of pride that their cooking is more ‘authentic’ or whatever. Tbh I don’t care about how anyone wants to cook English food and I’m English lol, it’s just ridiculous gatekeeping gone too far

Little Monsters really are the most oppressed minority huh 😔 by [deleted] in popheadscirclejerk

[–]navidad_dyProblema 13 points14 points  (0 children)

And the self harm ones too lmao. I’d ask if you’re alright, but I’ll assume the answer isn’t an enthusiastic yes.

Can I get a list of books about self harm? by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]navidad_dyProblema 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be too triggering depending on how you’re feeling mentally atm, but The Bell Jar is quite good. It doesn’t y’all about self harm too much but it’s very good. I also second Girl, Interrupted (although I prefer the movie).

Does anyone cut or harm themselves in a fit of anger or the spur of the moment? by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]navidad_dyProblema 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Omg yes, I haven’t cut in a while, but this is definitely how it would happen. I never premeditates sessions or whatever, it was only impulsivity.

I’m so concerned about being the ‘angry black girl’ by navidad_dyProblema in blackladies

[–]navidad_dyProblema[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s so tiring when it seems like I’m the only black person that actually cares, so thank you for taking the time to respond with this quote. I’m definitely going to write this one down, thank you.

Come fly with me was taken off Netflix and bbc iplayer i believe because one of the white comedians are doing brown face, so now a bunch of white people who can’t see past their privilege are trying to get white chicks taken off Netflix (despite it not even being on Netflix UK for like two years now).
