For women it’s a two-way street. Yes, it gets you more jobs and more friends, but it definitely also gets the creeps lined up around the block. Plus, some of those friends and jobs only happened because someone wanted to bang you, and that gets dangerous fast.
Source: one of my friends in high school had looks that I literally saw stop traffic. But hoooly shit did guys especially seem to think her looks were an open invitation, and most of them weren’t subtle about it either.
Short answer: NO. Because ‘white’ is not a culture, and because ‘white’ people were, and sometimes still are, racist assholes.
Long answer: So the reason black people (in the US especially) have an aggregate conglomerate group identity is because they were brought over as slaves, seperated from all their family, and basically had their own cultures beaten out of them. They had to rebuild their cultural identity from scratch.
‘Asians’ tend to not have a bloc group identity except when they get together as a bloc to stand up to white people being assholes (again, yay racism). Individual cultures did, in the past, have insular cultural communities (again speaking mostly US-centric) because ‘white’ people in the US didn’t want ‘those icky non-whites’ living near them (to the point of codifying it into law in many cases). They had to create their own communities in specific ‘permitted’ locations, based on nationality (hence the development of ‘Chinatowns’ and such).
‘White’ people, on the other hand, moved to the US voluntarily and were able to keep their cultures intact and plop them wherever they felt like. So it’s disingenuous at best and outright racist and belittling at worst to claim a ‘white’ identity because ‘black people get to do it’, completely ignoring the fact that black people only do it because people labeling themselves ‘white’ forced them into it.
Edit: adding to this, it is possible for ‘white’ people to have a cultural identity. For example, my family all came from Sweden, and for quite a while found comfort in hanging out with fellow transplants from the home country while we learned the language, found jobs, and such.
As a result my ancestors built Swedish halls, held Swedish festivals, and so on—in fact we still do today, to celebrate our heritage. But we are celebrating Swedish heritage.
Unless you’re on .ml, where they censor all swear words
Hmmm, yes, no doubt it’s the women’s height requirements that are to blame, since you have such a sterling personality.
Don’t know if I’ll ever swap out my Traveler for the custom character in overworld, but this new gameplay looks interesting at least
So that’s a completely different conversation. One that I think the US should have, mind you, since I agree that it’s wildly unsafe.
But my point is that if your car can’t pass inspection, it shouldn’t be on the road, and it definitely shouldn’t be racing, on-track or no.
The one held in my city is pretty reasonable. And if they’re not passing inspections to race on a track then they shouldn’t be racing on the street either.
Y’all are assholes who do asshole things.
Seriously why do y’all do this? You can rent time on tracks for cheap!
I mean, I have a friend who’s an American citizen but grew up in England, and still has one of the strongest cockney accents you’ve ever heard.
Arthur is a Canadian-produced kid’s show that ran from 1996-2022 on PBS. The meme is a classic to use when you want to show you found something frustrating or infuriating.
Maybe he just meant mechanic in general? There have been several woman mechanics in F1
Well, ‘good’ by US standards.
Wish we had Japan standards :(
For him it’s more the heavy rain and lack of safe bike paths… but that’s another discussion.
My friend’s work is over an hour from his house by public transport—if public transport is working, and it’s a weekday. If it isn’t working well, if it’s late, if it’s a weekend or holiday, then it’s closer to two hours (or more).
It’s 15 minutes max by car.
And he lives in a place with good public transportation.
Until we improve how public transportation runs, so that it really is designed around how people need to get from A to B, cars are going to be the more popular choice.
Just sweet, all-lovin’ folks, yeah? /s
Someone with a Xitter account should be replying with these on all those ‘family man’ posts popping up
Oooh do it
That one with Hitler and his dog is a good one
They’re trying to make him big again. So much for that, I guess
They say you should only say good things about the dead.
Charlie Kirk is dead. Good.
SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca made some more in-depth comments elsewhere on this post, but in brief, no, none.
The only thing a medicine like this will do is cause brain bleeds and death in the elderly.
I mean, maybe, but in my case I’m sure a good part of it was neither of my parents were good cooks lol
If I didn’t watch them make it, it was pretty hard to tell if the veggies were canned or not; they boiled fresh veggies to the same consistency as the canned ones.
