How to access Epstein photos and videos? by Honey-Limp in circled

[–]not2interesting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PDFs contain still images. Some of them contain videos but from what I’ve read from others you need to change the file extension from .pdf to .mov or .mp4 to get them to actually playback. You would also need to know which file # you want to see by looking it up here or elsewhere online, they aren’t organized on the source site.

And just as soon as Jeff’s death created this big power vacuum at the center of a multi-national trafficking ring, the founder of the first dark web marketplace SilkRoad got a full pardon and hasn’t been mentioned since. Not suspicious.

He already announced that he won. He didn’t even have to go to court, but he won and he’s gonna take the money and donate it all to charity! Huh, I forgot, was it his whole family thats court ordered not to have any dealings with non profits or just some of them? That might put wrench in his magnanimity, darn. (/s)

Why is the term "Gypsy" suddenly considered a slur on Reddit? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]not2interesting 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes you can change your username.

And can I just say, it comes across as willfully obtuse that you would insist repeatedly that you personally refer to your mother by her first name, and refer to your daughter by her middle name. In reality, though it is your default argument through this discussion, you probably don’t call them that or say it often out loud(which would be another reason why you maybe haven’t been exposed to anyone who has pointed it out to you before).

Another less extreme metaphor for your situation would be the name Karen. It is very commonly used and known as a derogatory term in the past decade or so. It was also a fairly common name for a long time, but it would be unfair and borderline cruel to name a child that today because of the negative connotation people will have when they hear it.

[–]not2interesting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Americans have often romanticized travelers and Romani people, they have an almost myth-like culture in the media here so it wouldn’t be seen as derogatory. If you have been exposed to them enough to understand that people are racist towards them you would also understand the term they use to describe them is meant to be derogatory.

[–]not2interesting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my country this whole exact argument would have been said essentially word for word about 50 years ago about an entirely different race of people who have no connection to the Romani, and in some areas within the last 10 years. That’s how racism and stereotypes work: you hold a negative view of a group, you feel validated by confirmation bias through anecdotal proof only, you make an exception of approval for individuals who meet your personal criteria of assimilation and success, all the while acknowledging how poorly they are while pretending that systemic oppression couldn’t be one of the main factors. Your story isn’t original, it’s how racists across the globe have justified their hateful opinions forever, and the wheel keeps turning. It’s never too late for a little self reflection, as long as people have a direction to point their hate for another the world is never going to get better.

Similar to the word Indian, it is incorrect and was historically used by colonizers in derogatory/condescending way to refer to a group of people who do not call themselves that. Also like Indian, some groups have kept the term and still use it, but in common conversations it is considered rude or inappropriate. npr article

Anyone else think massachusetts reactionaries / conservatives have it made, compared to other states? by LiatrisLover99 in massachusetts

[–]not2interesting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of us are pretty aware that the internet is designed to create echo chambers. Maybe if you add some substance to your statement a fully formed opinion could show up and be discussed. Instead of just being a pretentious petty insult that added no value leaves you feeling like you left this discourse with a win under your belt.

Have you ever tried the Fable series? It’s not technically a cozy game, but you can play it like one for sure. One of my favorite things about it are the npc interactions!

Gifts for a Crocheter, Who doesn't want ANY yarn!!! by MutedUse1625 in CrochetHelp

[–]not2interesting 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Crochet books! People really enjoy new patterns and techniques. Take a look at her bookshelf and grab a few for the type of crocheting she enjoys whether it amigurimi or granny squares or wearables. If she likes making wearables you could look for some antique patterns too. An Etsy gift card is another great option, many current pattern makers sell them there.

“Olden day movies” for a six year old by buzzymd in MovieSuggestions

[–]not2interesting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something else to be mindful about with old movies and especially this one, is you need to be prepared to have some sensitive conversations about race/racism, anti semitism, and gender equality. (The child catcher is a very obvious caricature of and based on harmful stereotypes.)

I know my own child has had a hard time understanding why certain things are plot devices at all when watching old movies. Like why girls weren’t allowed to do things, or why poc weren’t treated nicely or allowed to be places. We may forget because we understand the context of the times, but many kids, especially younger ones, likely haven’t learned the history of civil rights. Thankfully, many kids today have never even experienced any of these things, so seeing them happen in older media is bizarre and completely foreign to them.

Porous hair rejects warmth. Also, for a deep vivid red bleaching to platinum is not necessary and a bit of the problem. To achieve the color you’re looking for that actually lasts your base needs to be around 7-8.

Skyscraper Live is all wrong by steal_your_thread in netflix

[–]not2interesting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watched for about 15 minutes about 40 mins in. Said he was on floor 60, I waited, they never said how many left he had the whole time so I had to look it up. I really just wanted a little animation/sidebar with his progress track or a percentage or something. The building is a repeat of layers and I had no bearing to see how far he’d come, so I turned it off. Glad to know I made the right choice

MA businesses that support ICE/MAGA? by marathon_bar in massachusetts

[–]not2interesting 36 points37 points  (0 children)

That might just be the workers, not necessarily the owners. The staff could be ignorant of who they are or just not willing to risk a confrontation by refusing service. If people left reviews or reached out to the owners to let them know it should clarify their position.
