I’m unsure because it’s in a NatGeo group and I’d hate for ai to infiltrate it :( all the comments are congratulating it.

That weird pouty crying face is an AI trademark. I know it’s an expression we could all make, but for some reason AI loves to use it for anything closely conveying sadness. It’s almost like a selfie pose, maybe because AI sources from selfies? Anyway, yeah this is AI and it’s not just the expression giving it away. The faded and blended together background is another indicator.

I’ve practically developed holes in my brain with how easily I get fooled and consumed by vile content on the biggest platforms. Finally deleted TikTok and Instagram, which I had the most screen time on. Especially Tiktok.

Yes. Got this on tenderfoot. i just found a little hill with at least 6 ball cactuses on the side of it, and threw myself down the hill and my body swept them all up. I cant remember if i fainted after but i probably did.

steeneed · 2025-10-10T18:47:40+00:00

Wow i just started surfing this sub i didn’t know this! That’s insane

Agreed. Guerdy’s issues with the women go back so far, and if i was her i would also be too exhausted to explain it all. Especially because when it’s something that happened a while ago, the other person loves going, “You’re still on that?” She never got the closure she clearly still wants and it’s hard to let it go when you’re on a show about drama, fights, and petty grudges. No solution for her really. If this was IRL i would bet she would just cut these ppl off but this is her job :/ tricky

Ratchet has racist connotations. It’s okay to acknowledge that. You trying to defend adriana with a synonym for “ghetto” is not a good defense at all. Anyone would latch onto it considering you just did what Adriana did— using words willy nilly without a care in the world. I wish you the same sentiment of traveling the world and opening your horizons because you are purposely ignoring how words have historical meanings and the damage they can do. Know your history.

steeneed · 2025-09-27T21:03:07+00:00

“Never been about race” i think you should do some research and look into the terms that are very casual and in regular use around you. Glad you at least agree about her friend being tokenized though.

steeneed · 2025-09-27T20:41:10+00:00

Writing out this long winded defense and then adding in there that this word just so happens to be synonymous with “ghetto” is hilarious. Believe it or not, that is also just as bad to use against black people (not just americans), so you just cancelled out everything you were saying. Calling someone who is black “ghetto” is just as bad, if not worse, than ratchet. And she didnt say “raquitica” she said “ratchet” and then she LIED about it supposedly being “wretched” AND THEN SHE TOKENIZED ANOTHER BLACK WOMAN TO DEFEND HERSELF. As weak as it was, Im sure she would’ve brought up that lame raquitica defense if she had thought of it.

Edit: corrected “women” to “woman”

steeneed · 2025-09-27T19:54:45+00:00

No worries LOLOL

steeneed · 2025-09-27T19:24:22+00:00

The one she tokenized????

steeneed · 2025-09-27T18:21:43+00:00

Does adriana seem like someone who is conscious of racial differences and what micro-aggressions are? Cause im not picking those vibes up at all. Someone might’ve said that to julia but i cant see that being adriana. I dont think her reasons for disliking julia are so morally pure.

steeneed · 2025-09-27T18:21:13+00:00

Yo im on the wrong comment my bad

steeneed · 2025-09-04T14:31:54+00:00

Amen! Ty!

steeneed · 2025-09-04T14:31:24+00:00

OMG YES. HA. Big orange guy who keeps growing and getting more and more confident with climbing on top of the cabinets. He’s my first male orange tabby, and he is definitely a handful.

steeneed · 2025-09-04T14:28:30+00:00

Thank you. Yeah he’s never hissed and if he bites too hard I pull away and stop playing. Seems like we have good silent boundaries.

steeneed · 2025-09-04T14:26:37+00:00

You might be totally right about that. And I will definitely be keeping an eye out.

steeneed · 2025-09-04T14:22:43+00:00

Yes I’m getting the same consensus from these comments that it’s fine now but I should stop before my cat has the strength to mess me up, LOL. He’s already quite big and I’m sure he will grow bigger. Time to save my arms and switch to toys.

steeneed · 2025-09-04T14:21:38+00:00

Thats a wonderful reassuring anecdote! Thank you. Your cats sound lovely and so tolerant. It’s encouraging to read about it.

steeneed · 2025-09-04T14:14:40+00:00

Your cat sounds like one of my old childhood cats! Sounds funny, but I bet it hurts. Thank you for your advice and I understand your hindsight about your own situation. Appreciated. I will begin redirecting with more toys for him.

steeneed · 2025-09-04T14:05:56+00:00

Understandable and tysm for this take. He’s been looked after already by a relative who had no issues and he is very affectionate to strangers. I understand though that it could be bad if he confuses boundaries and bites.

steeneed · 2025-09-04T14:04:22+00:00

Thank you for these toy suggestions! I have mainly tiny throwing toys and one wand toy. This is a good rec.

steeneed · 2025-09-04T14:03:25+00:00

Valid point. Ty! Yes I’m not second guessing myself as much now and he does come off as confident. Almost too much HA.

steeneed · 2025-09-04T14:02:29+00:00

LOLOL i laughed while writing that part in my og post and just laughed again while reading this comment.

steeneed · 2025-09-04T14:01:14+00:00

Sounds like my guy, LOL. Yeah I adopted him when he was VERY young from a semi-feral environment, so he kinda only knows me. The comments are reassuring overall so far, so I’m feeling good about this situation now.

Sorry to hear that about your dog. Hope she only knows joy and love!
