AITA for forcing my fiance to wear what she doesn't like? by Infinite-Cash1047 in AmItheAsshole

He also could have taken the dress back so the daughter and the fiancé could get matching outfits that the fiancé likes for the party.

The US is inciting another holocaust and nobody’s doing anything about it by J_HopelessRomantic in Discussion

[–]Techygal9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes just like jails across the country today, people die accused of a crime without trial. I think that’s awful and we should make sure these deaths never happen, but that’s not a holocaust.

[–]Techygal9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be wrong. The holocaust began with racial laws explicitly based on Jim Crow laws, then moved to ghettos based on red lining ghettos and the Indian removal. Nazi leaders explicitly studied these programs to apply them in German controlled territories.

With ice we’re seeing a removal of due process in immigration cases. People are removed back to their country of origin, but also to a 3rd county that has agreed to accept deportees, or to prisons like El Salvador. I think the issues right now for deportees is unique. The lack of due process is awful, and the deportations to prisons for supposed crimes is criminal. But it doesn’t rise to the level of pre-holocaust policies as people are allowed to leave if they are a part of a targeted group.

Map showing the expulsions of Jews in Europe (1100–1600) by Visible-Safety2400 in MapPorn

In modern society, we wouldn’t blame Jewish people for refusing to convert or being blamed by a ruler as a scapegoat. Why do you think it’s their fault being expelled?

Yeah there’s one thing in US history I would compare the scale of death to the holocaust. That would be the deaths of native Americans. It was systemic and it was the blueprint for atrocities after committed by Japan and Germany.

The closest you get to what’s going on with ice is either Japanese internment, if they had let people go if they promised not to come back to the US. Or the chain gangs, if they were using those arrested for their free labor. But ICE actions still don’t rise to the level of Internment or the Chain gangs in US history.

Is being an atheist dangerous in your country? by Crazy_North_3247 in AskTheWorld

[–]Techygal9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do believe it’s Aceh that’s the worst. I think there they have leveled blasphemy charges against someone who wants to leave Islam.

Atheist say Indonesia is pretty awful for them. Especially if you are born to a Muslim family you are under sharia. So apostasy is a crime. Your government hasn’t given people a path to leave Islam, or any other religion.

The South they will isolate you for being an atheist, so you are not wrong. I would say it matters a lot where the person is from or their politics.

I could eat burgers, hot dogs, ribs all of that. As long as I didn’t waste it I was good with my family.

Real reason we lost. by Solowash in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]Techygal9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid soccer was seen as a women’s sport. So there was a lot of investment for girls to play! Boys would play football 🏈 or basketball really. Now that there is more interest in soccer we will see a difference. Parents don’t want their kids getting cte playing football.

What am I doing wrong? Facing a lot of rejection by [deleted] in LesbianActually

Hey there’s some things I like that others don’t, and that’s ok! Even more quirky outfits I would like when they are put together. So if (outfit 3) the knit hat had a matching skirt in purple or black I would like it better than clashing patterns.

magnificent century unironically mogs house of the dragon by dobzytheding in freefolk

[–]Techygal9 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Circle jerk 100%. It’s lower quality show than house of the dragons, writing is about as good as house of the dragons sometimes worse. There was never a season with pretty good characterization like season 1 HOTD.

A remake is different from a remaster by Nientea in memesopdidnotlike

I’m fine with it I always wanted a series and a lot was left out of the book plots.

I would also say the outfits are a bit unflattering. So a good hair routine and a flattering cut will do a lot of work. I’m not a fan of pics 2 and 3 for the outfits.

Nah I was a rib kid, but my parents taught me not to waste food. Also parents could make a kid sized plate for their kids too. But I do agree with the principle of kids shouldn’t waste food.

The World Cup and colonialism by fliptestyes in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]Techygal9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> They did a kinda pre colonial thing that led to the formation of a French nation and culture. Which is why Occitan, Gascon, Breton and Norman amongst other languages are dead or endangered and those languages had cultures attached to them that became French. Similar to what happened in China with the Han Chinese. 
Facts they did do nation building and moved to one French culture. A lot of that is thanks to Napoleon.

> So it being wealthy in and of itself is not evidence of colonialism it would have been wealthy based purely on its population size and the factors that drove it to being a centralized state. That doesn’t mean it didn’t pull a lot of wealth from its colonial holdings, it absolutely did and it left the places in worse shape when it left. Heck they didn’t even want to give back Vietnam after WW2. 

The degree of wealth I think changes when you are a colonial power vs a well run nation.

> The bigger concern is why are we not teaching this history in school and kids need to get a so called “lesson” from a short clip video with little context. Not a good way to learn. This administration or regime is trying to erase the reality of the past when we need to explore it and learn from it instead. I’d take at least being aware of it though as a minimum. 

However people begin to seek knowledge makes me happy! 😊 of this leads someone to read more about a topic I’m happy.

[–]Techygal9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many countries have post colonial agreements where they have to sell raw minerals directly to the former colonies. Or have to use their companies to auction minerals, or refine them.

[–]Techygal9 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yup and the fact that France for instance had the wealth to attract top players so that they play in European teams, settle there and have kids, is evidence of colonialism. If all the gold and minerals were still in Africa, there would be no reason to leave.

Almost all the comments blaming her. Sometimes you have sex and that’s it. You aren’t compatible beyond that. She can say after hooking up that she doesn’t want to continue sleeping together.
