adults and teens are sharing.

a mixed girl who was raised by her racist grandmother cuz her white mom od'd on heroin and black dad disappeared. g-ma would call her "i hate nigger in you" or "im so tired of combing your nigger hair".

another biracial kid on tiktok was kicked out of her white mom's house for supporting BLM. and you can hear the mom calling her a nigger this and nigger that.

a biracial man remembered his half brother who's white was treated the best by the white side family from wrapped gifts to overseas trips. and his mom wouldnt say anything instead just be happy you got something.

Thanks for sharing. I have had similar concerns. I knew it was a problem when some of my coworkers appeared to harp on protests as an ‘excuse’ for them to keep having birthday parties, go on trips, and basically not social distance. It gave me one of several hints that this election would be close and any commentary about Murricans at large being ‘tired of Trump’ was an exaggeration. And it made me even more skeptical of any ‘Joe has this in the bag yawl’ type of polls.

Also, when several of the same people called all protests out as riots..another hint. And then when it became clear that several plants and violent opposition was showing up to peaceful protests AND REPS WERE NOT GOING TO SEPARATE THOSE FOLKS, it became more clear to me that we were going to see a close race. And now, here we are: down to the wire. Counting on mail-in votes. Waiting on SCOTUS to do some foot on the ropes shit to try to take it back. Mess. No landslide. Mess.

be a good leftie and be a fucking goddamn motherfucking ally and get you some a this good goddamn freedom my nigga. we got fried tofu on the side, and a bullet making workshop in the garage.

that reads as "look at how they respond to Black Lives Matter", like BLM is the problem and not white supremacy

he is free to believe what he wants..

I’ll make the rounds in a week or 2 when the dust settles.

I’m just out here trying to make sense of it all. Half my post these last 2 days are filled with anger, hope, frustration, etc

I voted.. doubt he did but it’s whatever.

Black Lives Matter is essential no matter what time of the year it is

good luck being unable to control your anger and frustration and blaming black people

every time you're wrong (defending bshelly last week), you deflect to "did you vote?" which is irrelevant. Biden won my state

but BLM helped this activist to this:

i also think that BLM helped that transwoman in Delaware to the senate

https://twitter.com/FreedomAuthor/status/1323852745170948097

she may not admit to it, but it had a hand in it somewhere.



and the afro gay latino to congress

BLM 2020 is the same as the Civil Rights in the 1950s which both included peaceful protest, riot, looting, all types of violence, etc if you look at it from that standpoint...granted CV didnt have a presidential election to fight for, but rather dealing with an assassination of reluctant president and his southern VP had no choice but to step in and give into the demands of CV.

I think BLM didnt hurt, but it could have done way better especially by the 3 women who started it.

take a message

A lot of bad actors out there using BLM as a cover for their actions. Some of them intentionally. Some groups (looters, arsonists) were labeled as "BLM" by the media, even tho they clearly aren't.

and yes, I know BLM isn’t the “problem” but I’m a bit suspicious of the timing of these video releases that get us out in these streets before elections.

I’m still not sure if its a net positive.

and I’m wondering if we will have another wave of unrest right before the midterms.

Few years back I found a nice and cute bottle of champagne, it's been drank but every now and then it's nice to put a flower in it on the tablet.

Usually though it sits in a dark wooden bowl, in part because I watch too much HGTV.

That bowl typically sits on the counter in the kitchen but lately there hasn't been much counter room and so I moved it up on top of the fridge, set towards the back.

A few days ago I put snacks in that bowl on top of the fridge since nobody can see it or reach it but me, they're also portion sized so I can snack and calorie count; a day after that I took the bowl to get a snack then put it back on top of the fridge.

I did not set it towards the back.

In fact it appears I put it right at the door.

Because Monday morning as I opened the fridge I found myself holding a bowl that had fallen in my hands and I only came to the realization that I was holding something while I was trying to figure out what just hit me in the head.

Sigh.

From the random tracks it plays. Both The Artifacts and Onyx 2nd album so far. Lets see what else I been sleepin on.

*sigh*
a few years ago after i realized that moving back to south sudan would not be possible,
i kinda decided this would be it. i'd just stay here, permanently.
minuswell settle
but have also been joking about moving to zambia, or mexico.
I seem to have decided that i *will* move (and now adding senegal as an option).
I can see that happening in a year or two - lots to figure out, including convincing my job i can/should be based *there*
(we have offices in all 3 countries. my role is to support all 20 or so countries we work in - there's little reason for me to be based states side, especially since we went fully remote in may)
its just really hard- moving is hard, having to establish a social circle is incredibly difficult (baltimore taught me this hard lesson)
it makes financial sense, it makes quality of life sense (overall)
once the outside reopens will plan on spending at least a month in each of these countries before making that final decision.
lets just say im exhausted even thinking about this.

He would’ve roasted Kobe too.

Lebron can claim that rules and the changes to the game hurt him too. And if he lives to be old and is willing to talk to anyone, he probably will make those claims. Making the first round a best of 7, all of the 3 point shooting, player mobility (which he will eventually claim was a reality outside of just him), crunched in schedule, the bubble season or whatever 2020 will be called, etcetera.

lol.


84yo Wilt would probably still dunk on prime Shawn Bradley tho.

not sure ill bother with it tonight.

you control it using your switch, you race in your house and see through the camera. it uses augmented reality to add racers, power ups, obstacles and the such.

so you make your own course in person. something that an 8 year old would go crazy with.

you still do championships like in regular MK, each course adds different things in AR to spice it up.

i really dont know if it will have replay value but i want to experience it.

<--- Big Baller World Order

its fun. definitely has some replay value. biggest hinderance will be me being too lazy to want to set it up lol setting it up is easy and not very time consuming, i just know myself.

i have carpet in the whole house, except for bathrooms and kitchen. its not a newer low carpet. its a pretty standard one. not super shaggy. it worked without issue on it, i was worried i was going to have to layout cardboard but nope.

you do need a decent amount of space. i thought i might be able to set up a course around my coffee table, maybe have the cart go under the coffee table for variety. nah. you could but then you would be braking more than accelerating as the lowest speed wouldnt let you control it in such a tight space.

you dont really need cones and other markers to set a course. i had seen a lot of videos of people going crazy with setting a physical course. it could be helpful for when you are creating the course digitally but you definitely dont need them once the course is set up. the digital markers are enough.

that said, the digital course is a bit unstable, the shape starts getting wonky. this is without even hitting any of their gates. it doesnt make it unplayable but i would be careful about putting physical obstacles as the course will probably distort right into them and the computer players go right through them. you dont. lol

i imagine an open floor plan would be great for this, maybe thats why hgtv has been pushing them for years lol. the kart connects to the switch through local wifi and the signal does drop a bit when you drive around a wall. it was worse when i tried it in the hallway but fine going to the next room. no complete disconnects but it stuttered a couple of times.

Pennsyltucky stood up.

Do I get discounts on a F150 and cases of Coors now?

rest of the state is trash.

was hoping we'd have enough blue in the city to cancel out the rest, but nope.

Y'all buy those labels, I was born supreme

And I'm not sure how to deal with that.

There's only one person in my closest circle that I know for sure voted Biden. I suspect they've all, except for him, either voted Trump, or in all likelihood didn't vote at all. None of them have ever overtly voiced support for a particular candidate, or party, but they rarely discuss politics at all.

But I've seen a lot of FB posts, talking about how people shouldn't judge someone based on who they vote for, we're all entitled to our own opinions, we should all show respect to one another regardless of our differences, etc- followed by a few comments about how Biden is stealing the election.

They, with the one noted exception, are all still christians, and considering the church they attend, I'm reading the tea leaves.

We've drifted quite a bit over the years, but this sort of seals that deal for me. It is what it is. I see them quite differently now. I could be wrong, one of them is an LPR, not a citizen, and his parents are LPR's, but voicing displeasure as it seems Biden might pull ahead is a strong indicator IMO.

The one that's messing with me the most isn't in that circle, but we're closer than I am to that circle, right today. He's made some comments about Biden stealing the election, the media being shifty when it looked like like Trump was about to win, etc.

He's relatively conservative, but it genuinely surpised me that he appears to be a Trump supporter. I kind of want to ask him, but I won't.

Other friends proudly voted for Jorgenson. We're in Cali so that didn't impact the electoral here, but it still leaves me baffled as they are all progressives, firmly and vocally anti trump. Vote your conscious and all, but getting him out should be priority number one.

Maybe it's self centered of me, maybe i'm pushing my morality onto them, or what have you, but I do not for a second believe that you and your vote are separate entities.

Your vote is who you are. Your vote is an expression of your views, a statement about the way you see the world around you, and more importantly, it's an expression of support.

So... voting for Trump is supporting Trump, and everything he stands for. I'm not sure I'm ideologically compatible with that circle anymore.

This sounds kinda wild to me. I know some people rarely talk politics with their friends but ionno. Just seems like casual convo would lead to some serious differences.

These childhood friends?

Honestly, most discussions with them are surface level, unless it's about something personal.

With me, specifically, I'm an open book. So people who know me tend to know where I stand on most issues, and I'm pretty free with my opinions. Not I'm not particularly savvy when it comes to politics overall, because I'm not, but I do know where I stand on specific political issues.

So they know we're not.likely to have a passing discussion if they start to talk about hkw great trump is. If they have an issue with BLM, think blue lives matter, or shit like that.... it's probably not going to be spoken about around me.

Lastly, I moved away in 2010. So while me and my boy keep consistent contact, I only get together with all of them a few times a year. During that time I've grown apart from them as a whole.

Granted, I don't recall a ton of political discussion prior to 2010 either. But I know that in this current climate, that lack of proximity makes it easy for it to simply not.come up.

work in law enforcement are prolly Trumpers.

My cousin went from hood to good and now he works with the same police department that used to lock his ass up.

Then had a bunch of kids.. and they kept getting whiter and whiter to the point I question if some of them are his.. lol.

Anyway, they all have that “law and order” vibe.

But friends? Yeah.. most of them back home aren’t really friends, just people I grew up with and I’m sure a bunch of them are Trumpers. That’s why I moved from Pittsburgh after HS.

annoying...
I won't hesitate to decline a meeting or propose a different time because folks are really getting extra with these damn Zoom & Teams meetings all.damn.day...and it's just not sustainable with two kids at home all the time too.

That's probably the biggest point of contention throughout this pandemic really.. I got meetings, she got MEETINGS!! Them shits be like 2+ hours..
I get flack for suggesting that maybe she should just decline the ones that are in obvious conflict with our schedules.... And generally the folks that are scheduling these dumb long meetings are childless, empty nesters, or just hate their family.... they're really trying to take advantage and make power moves like they are super hard workers during this pandemic....

I’m like.. you are working from home with 2 kids. You don’t have to prove anything to anyone about working.

I want to get ahead of things so I can spend time with the family...

If my wife isn’t working she feels like she is being lazy.

My wife falls firmly into what you and legs are describing and I use to get on her just like that but then I figured out that women just have to work differently and harder to get ahead.

Like woman always almost exclusively get judged on how hard they work and what they produce and results. Guys, even black guys, can get judged on intangibles like likability and just the fact that they give someone the boss can talk about football and women with and go drinking with.

If my wife did her job like I do my job, she'd probably be out of a job.

Well my wife is stacking, restacking.. and then restocking. It’s not productive work. It’s just stacking boxes to feel like your doing something.

and don’t get me wrong, my wife is amazing at her gig. But even her mom and colleagues are like “this isn’t healthy, you are going to burn out”

I’m def a work smarter not harder type tho.
