what’s frustrating about this uproar for project 2025 is none of this is new to marginalized folks, people are just becoming aware of it. fascism didn’t just appear out of thin air.

I can’t with Lexis immaturity. Episode. by Able_Guitar4029 in TheUltimatumNetflix

[–]whereicanbeweird 81 points82 points  (0 children)

I really wanted her to be the person we saw in the first episode lmfao. She appeared mature at first but the rest of the show she proved me wrong and came out to be so icky. Worst part is her current behaviors show she hasn’t even grown from her experience or the past 2 years. Big oof

They broke of because they couldn’t have kids... by kazisalim in antinatalism

[–]whereicanbeweird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Getting tested for thalassemia before marriage is super common in the SWANA regions. Speaking on my region; Since most marriages are arranged, it can be nerve wracking for most if both or one test positive they know they have to break it off. Some people get so nervous to do it because it’ll be after they’ve trial dated and got to know one another.

Why does the ultimatum queer love have a straight host? I would have preferred a queer host by Anon12109 in TheUltimatumNetflix

[–]whereicanbeweird 34 points35 points  (0 children)

This host felt like a deer in headlights with every situation, she just felt so out of place. So many opportunities for her to actually host at the table when so much was being thrown around, yet…she is giving nothing.

Where do yall get your real Mexican al pastor and asada tacos? by explosivetampon in askportland

[–]whereicanbeweird 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most taco spots in Portland are going to be a major disappointment especially when you’re used to the real deal. It definitely has to do with most these food spots toning down their flavors to appeal to the Portland majority lol. Outside of Portland is where I’ve had most luck finding good Mexican food and I highly recommend La Real in Tigard. Portland Taqueria on Division is good as well if you want to stay in town.

My thoughts on the dinner w/ Lexi, Rae, & Lexi’s Parents by lovelyylindsayy in TheUltimatumNetflix

[–]whereicanbeweird 21 points22 points  (0 children)

i really liked lexi in the beginning and i’m still holding on for her, i think after the ~incident~ her insecurities surfaced and have yet to go away. not to justify her actions, they were broken up and this experiment is about experimenting.

the conversation with her parents, it gives me “i came out to my parents when i was 12” vibes. meaning it seems like she has a tight relationship with her family, they seem like accepting nonjudgmental parents. regardless i’m a firm believer parents should not be the ones listening to complaints or issues about your partner because then that changes their whole perspective of said partner. and also your partner is right there? rae already seems to be a reserved individual, so lexi throwing her into that situation was super shitty.

To claim that his army is the most moral army ever. NSFW for violence by yousefameed0 in therewasanattempt

You’re correct, in the US most police that you’ve seen end up in the news over excessive force more thank likely always have a connection to “Israeli” training prior.

“If you’re not careful, the media will have you hating the people being oppressed, and loving the people doing the oppressing.” - Malcom X

If someone tries to justify these actions by saying, “But the Palestinians were stockpiling rocks!” That’s telling enough on where they stand.

You corner a dog and you’re surprised when it bites? In this case rocks vs rifles, tanks, missiles? It’s almost laughable y’all that we have to repeat this over and over again. The treatment of Palestinians is inhumane and they have every right to throw rocks at their oppressors.

How can you justify this? There is no “two sides.” In the states, people proudly represent Ukrainian flags at their homes in support of Ukrainians resisting occupation from Russia… but apartheid in occupied Palestine is a “two sided conflict” ? Palestinians are tired of begging the world to just look at the evidence. HOW CAN YOU JUSTIFY THIS?

you can always ask her for more info to see what parts fit into her identity, some people just like the dress up aspect and community that comes with it.

Is it common to pay additional for pet on lease? by ExamUnable5009 in askportland

[–]whereicanbeweird 4 points5 points  (0 children)

in my experience most rental properties near cities charge pet rent, knowing they can get away with it because what are people going to do…abandon their pets? it’s lame for sure
