  • “African American” is such a weird subset of people. Like, aren’t all humans from Africa? Then why is this term used only for black people?

    Or do they mean to specify the African diaspora caused by the slave trade? But then aren’t we wrongfully including people who moved freely on their own to the US, and those that may even come from other regions?

    I get that the word is basically a synonym for black people but with less attached prejudice. I’m just sad that we live in a world where that prejudice still exists.








  • There’s also smooth ones if you hate the texture that much.

    Or for a different, more velvet-y feel, you could go with courgettes?

    If this isn’t hitting the spot, there’s always eggplants, and if you’re feeling crazy, there’s a whole universe of pumpkins and squashes for the brave to explore.

    Oh I misread it as front right/passenger wheel, my bad. Yeah that doesn’t leave much alternative.

    Which is kinda stupid since that car’s front wheels are probably closer to the curb than many trucks’ driver side wheels are even when parked properly…

    What the actual fuck.

    You took their reply and twisted its meaning completely then you put it in quotes as if somebody had actually said that.

    And then you complain about fallacies and brain-dead discourse? Oh the sweet, sweet irony…

    I mean… I’m your typical run of the mill cishet, and my response to femboys would be very confusing if I was some huge bigot with moronic beliefs.

    Except I’m not, so excuse me while GLUCK GLUCK GLUCK

    Ahahah I experienced only the media narrative, and it did play out exactly as you described it.

    Of course now it comes to reason that many people were actively working to fix the problem, but they never really explained that part on TV.
