Why do many Americans seem to racially stereotype other Americans solely based on their appearance?
  • i understand your hesitation and i commend your approach to others' sensibilities. however, i wouldn't consider "why are many americans racist" to be racist, because American isn't a race. it is a nationality. but even without that, you are specifying within the group and also excluding. you aren't calling all Americans racist, you are asking why there are a lot of racist Americans. truly, that is a fair question of any people. if your culture is racist.. why?

  • Why do many Americans seem to racially stereotype other Americans solely based on their appearance?
  • forgive my ignorance, but it seems you are asking why Americans are racist but explaining it in a way where you think it means something else, like you're talking about a unique kind of racism more common with Americans. genetic superiority is not more common of an idea here than anywhere else. the people who see white and black as you put it, "two different species," are ultimately how all racists see the world. they might not be equally as violent or aggressive or outwardly hateful, but they would never consider themselves like one of them. maybe i'm not following you and what you're asking lol, sorry if so.

    RIP - this is kinda hitting me more than normal because i loved this song as a closeted kid. it became more special to me as i grew older. aside from the song being catchy and fun it celebrated same-sex attraction during a time i felt alone and unsafe. thanks, jill sobule.

    absolute nothingness doesn’t exist and i think that’s pretty cool

    you ever think about that? imagine if you could section out a cube of space and remove every single “thing” within it. take out all the particles, leave a complete void. you would still be left with the remnants of the universe; a quantum foam of could-be and probability. the foundations of physics still remain. absolutely fascinating.

    anyway, the universe is unfathomable and we are delusional and arrogant for thinking we can understand it. and thank god for that because we wouldn’t be making the progress we are.

    H5N1 experts are not being alarmist. things are about to get really bad. human to human transmission is coming, and we are already too far behind.
  • thanks for the info, you're right. well, that's a bit of a relief for me then. still not great lol.. just means the disease isn't an international disaster impacting several communities. i hope our vaccines against it continue to be successful.

  • H5N1 experts are not being alarmist. things are about to get really bad. human to human transmission is coming, and we are already too far behind.
  • we are still in a pandemic so though, perhaps not “raging.” maybe that’s too alarmist. i’ll pull back on that, but.. it is still at levels indicative of a pandemic last i was aware.

  • i can list a bunch of bad COVID related decisions he made, sure. one of the worst imo is overseeing the CDC as it told Americans to get back to work earlier and reporting was no longer necessary, all during the pandemic still raging like it currently is.

    edit: it is endemic now, not a pandemic

    Brood Parasitism in Leftist Politics
  • stop saying this stupid shit about third parties. you could argue the same point for Conservatives who didn’t vote Trump. also which is it—are leftists so numerous they are a problem and ruin everything or are we small and useless and unimportant?

  • Can cis dudes have gender goals?
  • of course they can. gender affirmation is for anyone who feels the desire to achieve their gender presentation. if you have a gender you are attached to and want to represent then doing anything to get to that goal is your right whether you're trans or cis.

  • what is your coming out story?
  • i was 16 years old and decided, for some reason, that it was a great time to come out as the only gay kid in school in the year 2005. i was living with my father and had to keep it secret because he was extremely homophobic. the kids bullied me and i eventually dropped out because my life was threatened and they told me where i lived after i called their bluff lol, k bye. before then i was able to tell my mother with a school counselor that i was gay. she kinda knew and was fine with it but was worried my life would be difficult.

    eventually, my father somehow found out and asked me and i confirmed his suspicions. he told me he didn't accept it and that i could change. blah blah blah. i thought he would beat me and kick me out, because he told me he would. he said i would never be his child if i were gay. one time, there were two gay dudes in the back of a wedding photo he was looking at with me and his girlfriend, and he tore it up into pieces and said "i don't want any fucking faggots in this house." noted! anyway, he didn't do shit and eventually accepted me. i don't talk to him anymore because he's a fascist.

    Chloe and Theo have been attached since I adopted him with my partner ~2.5 years ago. He does enjoy beating her up though lol. I have to take him off her every so often because he likes to wrestle when she’s not in the mood. They’re both super affectionate to each other and us.
