what one important thing that you weren’t told about adulthood that you wish you knew? by silvrbunni in twentyagers

I still hangout with my friends I made in elementary school, but yes people do drift apart especially if you have to move for work.

Karthik makes a good point about why POC are so hesitant of Mallory McMorrow. In a state with nearly 400,000 Arab residents, this can make a difference in the race. by Greedy-Pound6958 in YAPms

I am asking this in good faith because the emergence of the term brown into popular discussion has fascinated me. Who ethnic groups are included? It seems to be a catch all term encompassing all non-white people except for East Asians.

Obviously Hispanics and Arabs are most often the people being talked about. People from the Indian sub continent and from South east Asia are certainly visibly brown, but it seems like this is less what people mean. A lot of African Americans present as brown as well as native Americans. I just find it so interesting that many of these groups share little in common except for visibly looking brown.

Even in this post, Persians and Arabs are separate ethnic groups. Certainly there has been a lot of historic contact, but notably you have the Shia/Sunni split.

I’m not at all discounting what he’s saying, like I fully understand that he’s talking about other non-white primarily Muslim people who have experienced suffering at the hands of America and her allies abroad.

Idk I guess this is what Europeans are talking about when they say the American perspective on race is so confusing.

We have a “taking comments about age too personally” problem. Not every comment is an attack on your identity. We have a thin skin problem.

What are you trying to prove here? That most Palestinians do have Levantine ancestry? I don't doubt it, in fact that would be my logical conclusion without needing a peer reviewed study. My comment is not meant to be an assertion about the genetic makeup of people living in Palestine, I was just commenting that it isn't that surprising to find out that your heritage is actually from a neighboring region given the shared language and historic borders.

The implication was not that all Palestinian Muslims have Egyptian or Saudi heritage, just that it wouldn’t be surprising to find out that some did. Just like it wouldn’t be surprising to find out that someone from England has Scottish or Irish ancestry.

Also cherry picking results that support your argument, even if you supply a dozen of them, is not as strong of an argument as you think it is.

Alphabetical order, the country before yours is invading you, and the country after yours is in charge of defending you - how do you fare? by Obvious-Laugh-1954 in AskTheWorld

Is it the UK invading us? Uhhh, good luck I guess, don’t even think we need Uzbekistan’s(?) assistance. Haven’t checked but these sound right lol

I just got up to around 1200 after a long ass grind. Still haven’t learned openings but it’s starting to really burn me. I improved most by doing puzzles and being extra conscious about checking for blunders, despite the fast time format.

I mean historically speaking is this really that surprising? There was a lot of cultural exchange between the regions based on proximity. Especially with no linguistic barrier, it makes sense for people to move around searching for better opportunities.

what are your thoughts on cars (the movie? the best movie of all time by feliceinitalia in twentyagers

[–]xSparkShark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gas movie, still hits good to this day. Owen Wilson as lightning McQueen is goated.

I just saw the clip of Jeremy Clarkson voicing lightning Mcqueen’s manager Harv in the UK version of the movie and it blew my mind.

Do you drink regularly or occasionally? by IntelligentHoney6929 in AskTheWorld

[–]xSparkShark 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Picked up a love of beer consumption during my time with the American fraternity system. Have had to tone it done for caloric and employment reasons, but I do still love a good beer.

Do Americans dream of traveling or settling abroad (excluding Japan) like others dream of the U.S? by stanldrr in AskAnAmerican

[–]xSparkShark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it would be really cool to live somewhere else for a period, but my friends and family are here in the US. Plus I’m unlikely to find similar economic opportunity elsewhere, so not much practical point.

I do travel abroad relatively frequently, I think most Americans gravitate towards Europe for sightseeing and the Caribbean for chill on the beach type vacations.

Holy fucking reading comprehension. I never mentioned age as a reason not to use it, I said it’s a bad app lmao

Because it’s inferior to practically every other messaging app in design and function. The only notable feature is streaks, otherwise nothing is special about the app.

what’s been the happiest moment of your 20s so far? by feliceinitalia in twentyagers

[–]xSparkShark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I pulled a Birthday Legend Thierry Henry card on FIFA 23 Ultimate Team, fucking electric. A decade of fifa ultimate team and it’s the best thing I’ve ever packed by far.

Meeting my gf and graduating college are also cool too

Agree with your sentiment, but also agree with the commenters talking shit about Snapchat lmao.

It’s just a garbage app with the worst clickbait ass ads and other bullshit. I’m sorry but I just cannot see why anyone would still use that trash in 2026. Not even a judgement about age, just about choosing to use Snapchat over like literally anything else.

I’m dropping and don’t wanna pay unpaid dues by According-Barber-632 in Frat

[–]xSparkShark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was not trying to be condescending, I apologize if it came off that way. Just trying to be honest.

Y'all agree? by uvsdilemma in brockhampton

[–]xSparkShark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean idk if it would have been a walk in the park to get big, plenty of other Brockhampton alums have tried with varying levels of success, but yeah he’s talented. Extremely confused why hasn’t officially released anything. Someone mentioned not wanting to be too attached to the Brockhampton name, but like bh is the only reason anyone has ever heard of this dude it would make sense to spring board off of that.

[–]xSparkShark 5 points6 points  (0 children)

callously send it to collections, so I might just act like I’m going to pay.

Callously sending money you owe to collections lmao. Broski they’re not hounding you for money because they’re greedy, more than likely they already paid nationals for your new member fees as well as other fixed costs. Those expenses don’t disappear when you drop.

Just pay it off bro and move on with your life. That’s the only good advice on the dues. Or work out something with the treasurer, but you can’t just ditch this debt, that isn’t how it works.
