Me "Love, what are these?"

Husband "Oh, those are parts for the car."

Me "Ok, now why are they in the bed?"

Im a British national, but living abroad. But anyway, I walked to the bus stop to see what time the bus came. 30 minutes, don't want to wait. So i pull out my phone to see how much an Uber would cost. A black man yells at me from his car (which I didn't really notice) asking me if I just took a picture of his car.. I tell him I was just booking an Uber because I didnt want to wait for the bus.. Of course I now feel obligated to spend money and take the Uber so that he can see that I wasn't lying about getting a ride and did not infact take a picture of his car.. I know it was just a silly misunderstanding, but Im so worried about being Karen.

To be fair on him, he probably gets harassed alot in our neighborhood, there actually are a lot of Karens. I also stop when I use my phone, being anti running-into-things and all..

Whole areas are flattened, and no bricks in sight!

I just wanted toast and fruit, but the hotel restaurants don’t butter the toast before delivering it to your table. The bigger aggravation is that they insist on keeping the butter in the fridge. The result is clods of butter on my toast. Less than satisfying.

I’m seriously fed up with that guy who schedules meetings at 6 AM local time on Mondays to accommodate Europe and Asia. I’d be OK with 6 AM any other day, but getting up extra early in a Monday is killing my soul.

The first time I became aware of my weight, I was in fourth grade. At the time, it was common for schools to weigh students and I remember feeling completely shocked when I learned I weighed 130 pounds.

Based on my appearance alone, I knew I was different and heavier than the kids around me, but it didn't really start affecting my life until I was a freshman in high school. My weight skyrocketed and the first thing to go was my confidence. Not necessarily because it bothered me, but because I was constantly being judged and teased for my weight.

I went from being a social butterfly to being incredibly reserved. I felt like my weight defined me. It got to the point where I began pushing away my friends because I felt like even they were talking about my weight behind my back. Soon enough, I'd dug myself into a deep dark hole where I felt completely and utterly alone.

The two years I spent in high school, I never went to homecoming or prom and missed out on a lot of other typical teenager experiences. Eventually, that environment became so unbearable that my parents decided it was best for me to drop out and focus on my mental health.

I do remember and miss the days when I could get an actual response from the senators outside of an election year. It goes without saying, when myself, who has made other inquiries, and been ignored, but during an election year they’re spamming the shit out of my email, phone and doorstep on issues that are irrelevant. When someone attempts to actually make contact about a relevant issue/problem, like perpetually falling through the cracks of the passed over and forgotten... this behavior of ignoring is normal for some.

So when I read about or hear of an individual who just snaps and goes off, I have to ask the fundamental question... how many times has that person TRIED to get help only to be ignored time and time again, where the rather disturbing option, they think the only option is to do something so atrocious just to get something as simple as a response.

Think of it like a lush lawn, all is tranquil when the lawn is fed and watered, and the grounds keeper is the person ELECTED to represent and upkeep that lawn... but when that lawn is mismanaged or only some of it gets more/less water or more/less of something, that’s when the eyesore of weeds come out of the cracks, those weeds are the problem of being ignored/ forgotten. Sure you can spray it or cut it, but if you don’t get to the root, it just comes back worse! The elected groundskeeper is FAILING on upkeep and allowing the weeds to grow! But hey I don’t expect a meaningless media outlet can actually shine a light on this national problem! I actually expect this go ignored and unanswered just like the inquiries made to the senators!

What’s pathetic is the lengths gone just to get something so fundamental and basic and STILL get ZERO acknowledgement!

Not trying to be offensive in any way, but seriously, there are so many mentally challenged Americans. Countless videos online of people strolling the streets, saying they're gods descendant or they've spoke with Russia about 9/11, randomly going up to people's car and claiming it's theirs, getting pulled for speeding and trying to shoot the police officer, people protesting by straight up barking and doing nothing else. What is up with these people, don't get me wrong there's countless smart and sophisticated people over there but the majority of them seem crazy. Obviously this problem occurs throughout the world but it seems to be a normality in America everywhere you go.

Regarding Biden’s new shutdown on the Pipelines, many people lost their jobs. And what’s funny is that this was on his first day in office.

But why is no one talking about it aside from Fox News? Is it really not important enough to discuss?

It’s really ironic, considering Biden wanted to get those vaccines out and get people back to work. How in the bloody hell are they supposed to work if they don’t have a job to get to?!

It just amazes me how no one on Biden’s side is addressing this other than the supporters who were affected. Wanna know what they said?

“I’d rather have trump in office. At least he didn’t take away my job”

If the people are literally wishing for trump to be back, then there’s a problem. It’s time it gets addressed

There isn't an equivalence to be made at all, it literally is the peeps doing this that are making it harder to thrive/survive here.

Why does Americans keep carrying the bag from grocery store from underneath when it has handles? Is it to support so the bag dosent break? In that case, you guys need bags with better quality.

Blm is a Marxist organization whose primary purpose is not to help black lives, but to bring about a communism society in America. One of the cofounders said that she and another cofounder were “trained Marxists.” https://imgur.com/gallery/0vQNK0K Demonstrating just how far left they are, another cofounder wrote an article on a Venezuelan news website in which she called out Bernie Sanders for calling Hugo Chavez a dictator. https://imgur.com/gallery/vK367Kv Even worse, Susan Rosenburg sits on the Board of Directors of blm. Susan has taken part in communist organizations in America and was arrested in 1984 and sentenced to 58 years in prison on weapons and explosives charges. She was also sought as an accomplice to a couple of bombings. She is free now because her sentence was commuted by Bill clinton. http://archive.is/0F5T0 The Black Lives Matter website itself says that one of its goals is to disrupt the nuclear family, one of the stated goals found within the Communist Manifesto. https://imgur.com/gallery/h2pW1J9 This alone shows just how little the group cares for black lives. One of the most devastating things to have hit black America in the latter half of the 20th century has been the destruction of the nuclear family.

Single motherhood makes children much more likely to live in poverty and commit crimes. Not attacking single mothers, but the trend is real. Over 70% of African-Americans are born to single mothers. This is the major problem facing the community. Black fathers have to begin caring for the women they impregnate and the children they bear, who once abandoned by their fathers, are forced into a life of poverty. A nuclear family with a father in the home makes a boatload of difference. Prior to the mid-1960s, nearly all children were born to married couples, including black children. This phenomenon was reversed once the progressive War on Poverty began. The welfare state incentivized single motherhood as it provided mothers with welfare benefits if there was no man in the house. https://www.heritage.org/welfare/report/how-welfare-undermines-marriage-and-what-do-about-it Additionally, the vast majority of African-Americans that are murdered in America are killed by other blacks. This is not to say that we should ignore police brutality, as that should be addressed as well. Police who commit murder against unarmed civilians should be punished and police reform should be enacted. However, the group is spreading the false narrative that police and racism are the most dangerous things facing black America. This is false. As mentioned previously, the vast majority of African-Americans who are killed are killed by other blacks, not whites. We have seen this trend worsen with blm’s calls to defund the police. Democrat-run cities that have surrendered to these proposals have seen skyrocketing crime rates, including black-on-black crime. https://imgur.com/gallery/nrpWWAu https://imgur.com/gallery/r7Wioos There was an 8-year old girl in Atlanta who was shot by an armed blm protestor. https://imgur.com/gallery/8hJhwJV . This is but one of many instances of the black-on-black violence that has plagued America. Despite this, blm has not changed its stance on policing. Thus, Davis Dorn, an African-American who was protecting his friend’s pawn shop, was killed by looters. Patrick Underwood, a black police officer, was killed in Oakland. https://archive.vn/pxWsz http://archive.is/hXiqZ https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2016/crime-in-the-u.s.-2016/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-3.xls https://archive.vn/UnQcr https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2018/crime-in-the-u.s.-2018/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-6.xls https://archive.vn/LFW18 Compare that to the number of unarmed blacks killed by cops. Most blacks that are killed by the police are actually armed. https://imgur.com/gallery/gdN68hk http://archive.vn/JDNxE#selection-2511.0-2528.0 https://imgur.com/gallery/wAZyQrF More evidence that blm’s main goal is not helping blacks, but overthrowing the US for a communist society is the fact that they have continuously defaced statues important to American history. They have even defaced statues of abolitionists and Union soldiers. One of the main goals found in the Communist Manifesto is the destruction of the nuclear family, religion, and national identity in order to make way for a communist society. This seems to be what blm is attempting. Why else would they deface the statue of anti-slavery poet Greenleef Whittier? https://imgur.com/gallery/LHUpOLa They also toppled the statue of a Norwegian immigrant and abolitionist who served in the Union Army during the American Civil War. http://archive.is/ELeRu. They defaced a statue of Abraham Lincoln in London https://imgur.com/gallery/irSbE8j and The Colorado State Capitol Khachkar memorial to the Armenian Genocide http://archive.is/h5yOz. As we see, they are deliberately trying to destroy the memory of Western Civilization, just as the Communist Manifesto calls for. These aren’t isolated events. Rioters in Philly deface a statue of Matthias Baldwin, an early abolitionist who fought against slavery. https://imgur.com/gallery/dqq0zod. They vandalized the Memorial to the Victims of Communism in DC https://imgur.com/gallery/R5JQ8JL as well as the DC statue of Tadeusz Kościuszko, who fought for the rights of minorities. In his will, he donated a portion of his estate to free slaves belonging to Thomas Jefferson. He also bequeathed sums for the education of freed slaves. https://imgur.com/gallery/ynAeuXY . They also defaced the Memorial to Vietnam Veterans, many of whom were African-Americans. A statue defaced with the acronym “BLM” along with the communist hammer and sickle symbol. https://imgur.com/a/h8eeCtd

Furthermore, the majority of interracial crimes in America are not committed by whites, but by blacks. The groups is spreading the narrative the African-Americans are overly policed. However, black men, who make up around 6.5% of the population, commit over 50% of the violent crimes. I recommend you watch videos by Thomas Sowell, Larry Elder, and Brandon Tatum. They are all African-Americans who give an alternative perspective to that given by blm activists. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFqVNPwsLNo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhy-NvXt0-U https://imgur.com/gallery/eXK6KeG https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jv5-mc4U_Zw&t=2s https://imgur.com/a/ABrYTuR https://news.0censor.com/b-l-m-leader-warns-whites/ https://twitter.com/AlwaysActions/status/1269476349384818703 https://imgur.com/a/VUOr4Ea http://archive.vn/LFW18 https://news.yahoo.com/poll-most-black-americans-want-170411177.html https://scholar.harvard.edu/files/fryer/files/empirical_analysis_tables_figures.pdf?mod=article_inline https://youtu.be/-2N2w4d0N0w https://archive.vn/wN3yM http://archive.is/59wbE https://youtu.be/XfsJxkobPXk

It’s ironic that BLM was founded by so-called anti-racist Marxists who perscribe to the gender philosophy. BLM activists continuously denounce the US for the flaws of its founding generation. Yet they themselves never seem to engage in the self-criticism that they want Americans to accept. Marx was a vehement racist and the gender ideology espoused by the BLM organization was created by pedophiles. https://archive.vn/iwwdB

A close look into the history of the Black Lives Matter organization shows that its founders have close ties to communism. Don’t just take it from conservative commentators. Listen to the words of co-founder Patrisse Cullors, who in an interview admitted that she and co-founder Alicia Garza were both “trained Marxists.”https://therealnews.com/pcullors0722blacklives In another interview with Teen Vogue, Cullors admitted to being mentored by Angela Davis. https://archive.is/QGJaA They team up every year to give public speeches. Who is Angela Davis? She is a political activist who ran twice as the Vice President of the Communist Party of America. https://www.nytimes.com/1984/11/02/us/hall-at-74-still-seeks-presidency.html

In 1979, Davis went on a trip to the USSR where she was given the Lenin Peace Prize. She expressed her gratitude for the prize “bearing the name of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin here on the very soil where he led the great October Revolution.” http://www.aparchive.com/metadata/youtube/45045389d6759defac6845a2f3bdfcea When his party failed to garner substantial traction in its first election, Lenin and his Bolsheviks disbanded the Russian legislature. Lenin then implemented a series of purges. Hundreds of thousands were killed through his Red Terror and dekulakization campaigns. The victims were targeted either because they were convicted of wrongthink or deemed privileged peasants (kulaks). This is the man that Cullor’s mentor praised.

Black Lives Matter’s association with communism does not end there. The US Social forum brands itself as an internationalist movement that seeks to transform America. In one of the group’s Detroit meetings, both Patrice Cullors and Eric Mann were chosen as panelists. http://web.archive.org/web/20120211205206/https:/thestrategycenter.org/transformative-organizing In 1969, Eric Mann became involved with the Weather Underground group, a domestic terrorist group whose goal was “world communism.” https://vault.fbi.gov/Weather%20Underground%20%28Weathermen%29/Weather%20Underground%20%28Weathermen%29%20Part%201%20of%206/view They wanted to create “two, three, many Vietnams” through which the U.S. would be “defeated and destroyed in the process.”

While America fought communism abroad, they sought to destabilize the U.S. from within. The way they would achieve this goal was to create chaos and instability at home. This is what led to Eric Mann’s imprisonment in 1969. He and his fellow Weather Underground comrades rioted at Harvard where Mann was arrested for assault and destroying property. https://archive.vn/DU8je

Susan Rosenburg, a convicted terrorist, served as Vice Chair on the Board of Directors for Black Lives Matter’s fundraising organization, Thousand Currents. https://web.archive.org/web/20200616222408/https:/thousandcurrents.org/board-of-directors/ In the 1980s, Susan Rosenberg took part in the May 19th Communist Organization, whose goal was to “overthrow the U.S. government through armed struggle and use of violence.” https://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/Digitization/120257NCJRS.pdf Carrying out the organization’s stated goals, Susan Rosenberg was arrested in 1984 for “possession of a huge amount of explosives and numerous weapons.” She had already been on the run for a number of years for her role in previous robberies and murders. As serious as her crimes were, she was released after Bill Clinton commuted her sentence in 2001. This same group was responsible for bombings at multiple locations between 1983 and 1985, including military installations, the Capitol, and the New York Patrolmen's Benevolent Association. https://www.nytimes.com/1990/09/06/us/3-radicals-agree-to-plead-guilty-in-bombing-case.html

Demonstrating just how far left they are, Opal Tometi, co-founder of the Black Lives Matter Network, wrote an article on a Venezuelan news website in which she admonished Bernie Sanders for branding Hugo Chavez a dictator. https://archive.vn/hw84X She also took a picture of herself alongside Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro. For being an organization that claims to stand against police brutality, Opal had no qualms about embracing a dictator whose own police forces have murdered and tortured thousands of civilians. The year before the picture was taken, protestors were killed by the regime and the UN documented over 100 cases of torture in less than a year. Praise of communist dictators continues. In 2016, Black Lives Matter released a eulogy for Fidel Castro after his death. https://archive.is/UdW9C Castro’s regime had previously engaged in extrajudicial killings and torture. He also persecuted Christianity, which most African-Americans adhere to. Communists and socialists escape all criticism, no matter how egregious their crimes or how similar those crimes are to the perceived injustices they claim to fight against in the U.S. An organization that embraces Marxism and violent criminal regimes is not a group that America should embrace.

Clues regarding the extent to which BLM supports Marxism are abound. Their own website references the word “comrade” multiple times and the raised fist that they have adopted onto their flag was first used by the Communist Party of Germany. It has been a popular symbol amongst communists ever since. The Black Lives Matter website itself states that one of its goals is to disrupt the nuclear family, one of the objectives found within the Communist Manifesto.

BLM is Marxist not only in theory, but in practice as well. The Communist Manifesto calls for the destruction of religion and national identity in order to make way for a communist society. Trained Marxists around the world have sought to make good on this by destroying all evidence of the past, especially statues and religious icons. They have done so in Mao’s Cultural Revolution as well as in Cambodia under Pol Pot. In this regard, Black Lives Matter is no different. https://imgur.com/gallery/HsrEC1u https://imgur.com/gallery/sZkCkdP

Some supporters claim that BLM has only destroyed Confederate statues. This is untrue as they have continuously defaced statues depicting abolitionist figures in American history. They defaced the statue of anti-slavery poet Greenleef Whittier. They toppled the Wisconsin statue of a Norwegian immigrant and abolitionist who served in the Union Army during the American Civil War. They defaced The Colorado State Capitol Khachkar memorial to the Armenian Genocide. Rioters in Philly defaced a statue of Matthias Baldwin, an early abolitionist who fought against slavery. BLM vandalized the Memorial to the Victims of Communism in DC and took pictures of themselves flipping off the statue. They are deliberately trying to destroy the memory of Western Civilization, just as the Communist Manifesto calls for.

Recently I saw a YouTube video where two Americans were arguing about who had the right of way on a public footpath. The main gist of their arguments seemed to revolve around them screaming at each other they were American citizens.

My question is to the citizens of USA. Have you ever used this line in an argument and more importantly, has it ever actually had the desired effect?

I notice a strange phenomenon in America in which many children of Mexican immigrants who grew up in American culture and educated in the United States-especially those who end up speaking English as their first language- not only think Mexican is interchangeable with Hispanic but so many of them believe Spanish and Mexico are the same.

If you for example criticize Spain, they will take it as an insult to Mexico. If you say you don't like Spanish food, you'll be seen as telling them you don't like burritos. Say you don't like Spanish dialect you'll be accused of being anti-Mexican-even I you speak the Mexicano dialect daily and love Mexican songs and Mexico City accent.

Its gotten bad to the point Mexican families who's lived in America for generation are often shocked if the next great grand kids are born with "white man's features" and its a common accusation for long lines of Mexican Americans to accuse the mother of cheating simply the kid doesn't "look Mexican" (I actually saw this happen at a hospital where two brown skinned Mexican parents gave birth to a blonde and accusations of cheating came). Yes many don't even realize Spanish originally came from Europe!

However I'm not bashing all Mexican Americans. I know local first generation families who not only recognize the difference but can even tell you what region of Mexico they came from and the local differences in food, etc. There are even families who's been living in my town since the Texan Revolution who keep their distinct regional accents and clothes, with some of them holding a grudge towards other Mexicans because they came from other regions of Mexico that traditionally were rivals with their own. Some even outright hate the European Spanish.

But most Mexican-Americans (at least those who were raised in the US without keeping in touch with Mexico or keeping in touch with their Mexican heritage) seem to view Spanish and Mexico as the same and even Spanish people as non-white/non-Europeans who love fiestas and are brown skinned and other stereotypes about Mexican people!

Now the big reason I asked this is because I notice other Hispanic Americans such as Cubans, Peruvians, and so on don't suffer from this ignorance as many Mexican-Americans when they immigrate to the United States. I notice that not only do Cuban-Americans and other Hispanics get irritated (if not outright insulted) if you call them Mexicans or make assumption that their culture is the same as Mexicans, but many even somewhat hold a grudge against European Spaniards. Not a bad grudge to inspire hate language and such but definitely they have not forgotten Spanish crimes in the Colonial period. On top of that I notice the national rivalries are much more alive and can reach vicious levels of hate among other Hispanic Americans as seen by the various gangs that distinguish themselves as "Cuban drugloads, the mostly Salvadorian MS13, etc". Even those who don't hold national grudges tend to stick with their own kind in the manner of "I'm Cuban, so I prefer being with the Cuban community in Florida, I came from Ecuador and I prefer the company of Ecuadorian immigrants over being with Chileans and Salvadorians, etc".

Where as among Mexican-Americans who didn't keep the specific customs of their homeland and been here for generations, I note a tendency for many to simply assume if you have a Spanish name, you're Hispanic and we're the same so we should stick together. As opposed to how Guatemalans stick with other Guatemalans and such. Remember the story about two Mexicans giving birth to a blonde child? Well I cannot tell you how many Americanized Mexicans are shocked as hell if they decide to hangout with a new immigrant with a Spanish name to learn they are fair skinned with blue eyes when they meet in person even if the newcomer to town reveals he's Argentinean, Puerto Rican, or even a Spaniard.

Now I know depending on the region this can get complex I already mentioned where I live there are indeed Mexican-Americans who's been here for over a centuries but recognize their culture as distinct from the recent Venezuelan immigrants and such. The European side of the Mestizo blood in my local town is so strong not even pure blooded Anglo-Saxon Americans are shocked to learn that the Ortega household gave birth to a pale skinned redhead last month.

On top of that the less Hispanics there are in an area such as say a small town in West Virginia, the less likely any immigrant with Spanish surnames are going to emphasize that they should not mingle as a united group because one family is Salvadorian, another is Mexican, etc and they will pretty much stay within their group to help each other against racists whites so much eventually they literally identify as Hispanic rather than whatever country they came from.

But I am wondering why do so many Mexican-Americans seem ignorant of this basic distinction that Spain was the colonizer of Mexico and that Hispanics come from different distinct countries, races, ethnicities, etc? Even assuming things that are distinctly Mexican such as Day of the Dead also are automatically applicable to other Hispanic nationalities and ethnic group?

Why are other Hispanic groups including those Americanized youths who's families been in America several generations ago (and even Indian immigrants from Mexico who don't identify as part of the Mexican ethnicity/nationality) able to not only recognize the differences but even generally keep their distinct local cultures enough that some of them find the Hispanic identifier as an inaccurate, if not insulting, grouping?

I mean with how the news keep bringing up al the recent problems with illegal aliens and Mexicans disrespecting the American flag, you'd think that the vocal "Mexico pride" Mexican Americans would be familiar with Mexican rivalries with other nearby Spanish speaking countries and animosity towards Spain and such!

Just a general query from a Brit. I understand that things are so different in America in respect to guns but why are people voting against stricter background checks to make sure you’re not a psycho or an extremist? If you’ve got nothing to hide then why are you protesting this?

In the coming days we will come to the pinnacle of 2020 with the results of the 46th presidential election. In the 20 some odd years that I've been aware enough to understand how our government works I have never been more frightened then I am right now. We, the American people, will elect either a democrat or a republican to office as we've done since 1853. Once the smoke clears and the votes have been counted, and probably re-counted, one half of the country will hate the other half and the hate and anger we've had for each other will boil over. Not since the Civil War has and will this Nation experience a level of division that will come in the months to follow. I have seen examples of families being torn apart because of political disagreement. I've seen people literally attacked in the streets simply because they believe something different. The American people have been lied to and purposefully frightened by both major political parties, the main stream media, and powerful corporations and industries. Statements along the lines of, "if you vote for this person you're a racist", or "if you vote for this person you hate america". We've been spoon fed and forced "information" by corporations and individuals who have done nothing but make a profit off of our biggest fears. We exclaim that America is the most free country in the world, but in reality we're trapped in a system literally designed to keep us in an illusion of freedom. It didn't start out like this, but over time smart individuals found ways to "ammend" their way to more power. Our founding fathers wanted us to be free of tyranny and excessive governmental control. They gave us the tools to succeed as a free and prosperous Nation, and where they fell short we've rised to the occasion and abolished laws that were harmful and made laws that brought equality to all. We still have a long way to go, for as they say a masterpiece is never finished, but the direction we're heading now we might end up burning that masterpiece to ash. So when you vote tomorrow don't vote "along party lines" or "because they're not (insert candidates name here)", vote for what this country was meant to stand for..."for liberty and justice for all". I want to leave you with a quote from Benjamin Franklin that has always stuck with me and has never been more relevant..."those who give up essential liberty for temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety". Remember that we are all born free, it's only when told otherwise do we become slaves in one form or another. #libertarianparty #2020election #RepublicanParty #DemocraticParty #Trump2020 #Biden2020 #Jorgensen2020

I took a job in a kitchen at a hospital since the government only gave half a fuck about people who's jobs aren't pandemic safe for a few months

The good news is it pays a good bit better than my old cooking job did and I can almost afford my own apartment now that I left the industry I got my degree in and I'd be totally set to comfortably ditch roommates forever if it wasn't for crippling student loan debt
