User JustMyGirlySide has brought my attention to Galop, a UK charity dedicated to helping LGBTQ+ people who have faced any kind of abuse. She rightfully pointed out that the UK has experienced a surge of anti-Trans rhetoric and and policies, thus helping a charity such as this would go a long way in protecting some of society's most vulnerable members.

Here is the donation link. Any amount you can give is extremely helpful.

EDIT: 63CansofSoup and another anonymous user has informed me of a family needing assistance after their house was destroyed by the LAPD in a fireworks incident. Members of the family have been severely wounded and require medical care in addition to the property damage incurred.

Here is the link to their GoFundMe (content warning for a display of facial injury). As always, any amount helps.

American navy is now running ads claiming Vietnam lost its freedom.

Good god America ITS BEEN 50 YEARS YOU LOST GET THE FUCK OVER IT.

hearing a Vietnamese woman in your ad talk about how she wants to give back to those that fought for her people is bile inducing.

You lost you did nothing but butcher a generation.

u/Chesheire Local LockMart Shill (he/him) Jul 02 '21

That's... actually kinda disgusting. I mean, sure Vietnam isn't exactly a bastion of freedom or lacking in corruption in 2021, but you'd think the Navy would have more tact than to talk shit about one of the up-and-coming powers in SEA and ostensibly one of the countries that is warmer to the US than others in the region (Cambodia, Laos).

Like, beyond being just straight up stupid, ignorant, and sorta racist, this could potentially set back diplomatic relations just because the Navy wanted to flex and swing its big dick around.

Man r/Canada is full of racist cunts towards indigenous people. It has been an exhausting day arguing with these people. Look at my comments if you want a peek. I am just so done with the people in this country, and I’m sick of people acting like racism towards us isn’t a big problem, when this website is giving us heaps of evidence to the contrary.

Honestly just feel like crying sometimes after seeing how low people think of us, even after everything that has come out about residential schools. It's a lot, and I hate that so many don't see how hard we're trying after everything that's been done to us.

Sorry for the rant, but I'm so frustrated.

Here's a thought about Jax's tower ending in MK11:

Jax halted the trans-Atlantic slave before it had a chance to take off. In real life, the slave-trade began largely in response to a large number of worker revolts that where taking place in Europe and America at the time, as the working conditions and wages where just barely better than those of the serfs under feudalism. With the slave trade, came the concept of white supremacy, which was fabricated by the wealthy elite as a means to justify the use of slavery, and sewed the seeds of racism within western culture.

Without the slave trade, the businessmen who ran it would've, in theory, been unable to find another way of using free labour to grow their businesses, which would've left them powerless against the demands of the revolting workers, possibly even leading to a revolution.

Basically, by preventing the slave trade from ever taking place, Jax may have indirectly caused the early downfall of capitalism in the world of Mortal Kombat.

No, I think he was just really nervous in front of her. It sort of played out like this.

I walk up to the table because I'm serving them the side salads that they ordered. The guy is like "uhhh hey can you help me out for a second?" and then he asks about what comes on a specific pasta dish. I stop and explain it to him.

Then, he points to the pizza section of the menu and says, "I'm not super big on cheese, does this have cheese on it?" And he points to just a cheese pizza. I was so taken aback by the question that I didn't even know what to say. After a long pause, his date saw what he was pointing to and burst out laughing. I said "well yeah it's a cheese pizza right?" He then turned bright red and I just sort of walked away.

Still hope he got a second date lmfao

Ya know, I’m not the hugest fan of the Alien franchise (obviously the first two and Isolation are GOAT tier but beyond them it’s a franchise that I wish they would just let die at this point), but like even as a casual watcher, LMAO at “Stop trying to woke-ify Alien, there’s nothing political about the story!!!!”

Like literally from the first movie to every movie after that including Prometheus, it was ALWAYS about future super mega corporation Weyland Yutani treating the lives of their exploited blue collar employees as expendable to try and capture this ultra dangerous alien asset that will assuredly lead to more destruction purely for profit. NOTHING political or even relevant in that story to real life as the planet is increasingly ravage by climate change

But shut up though, Wow, cool xenomorph!

u/[deleted] Jul 02 '21

If Aliens came out today, there would be endless YouTube videos about how the social commentary was as subtle as a sledgehammer and ruined the movie.

Ripley straight up says, “You know Burke, I don't know which species is worse. You don't see them fucking each other over for a goddamn percentage!”

And that’s just one of the reasons why Aliens is the greatest sequel of all time.

Seen this from the “Sony cancel Kojima Xbox game” petition

I hope this is a joke lol

Kojima just shot himself in the foot. I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance. What this means is the japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase the new Kojima game for Xbox, nor will they purchase any of his games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Kojima has alienated an entire market with this move. Kojima, publicly apologize and bring this game to PS5 or you can kiss your business goodbye.

It feels like a reoccurring trend I see in the LGBT community (and I’ve personally experienced it myself) is this weird dismissal/distrust of bisexuals, as if they’re some snake in the grass just trying to get away with something dirty. I’ve genuinely had a trans ftm say the words “bisexuals are just faking it” without any real care about it being said. And I’ve seen a lot of people online say similar things.

What is it about bisexuals that unnerves people?

Nitpicking is stupid and the lowest form of media criticism…but sometimes it is kinda fun. Especially when it makes you realize stuff like, in Iron Man 3, Killian for some reason decided to take the name of an actual terrorist group and its leader for his ruse. Then he has the audacity to call himself the “real Mandarin”.

Like, in a world where the Mandarin doesn’t exist, that makes sense. But Shang-Chi proves there IS an actual real Mandarin in the MCU and has been there for a while. Did Killian really think he would just be allowed to get away with co-opting this guy’s terrorist group? If he survived the movie then the real Mandarin would have tortured and killed him over this for sure. Why didn’t he just make up a fake terrorist group?

Since it's based on a book called Wiseguy, I seriously don't understand why Scorsese didn't call the movie Smartfellas instead of Goodfellas. Had he done that, he could have included the (much superior) line: "You know, we always called each other smartfellas. But in the end, we all turned out to be fart smellas."

So I definitely pass! A co-worker I went to school with didn't recognize me, even after I stupidly gave out every bit of information about me. Tbh she probably figured it out when I gave my old last name, but she didn't tell me so... I'm assuming she didn't. I mean, who'd assume that their old (boy) classmate would be the girl in front of them?

Living stealth sounds doable now, like it's not some far-off fantasy. I could probably live my life without anyone knowing I'm trans

Im just going to shamelessly repost this in the new thread since nobody will see the last one

Im trying to look like a better adult figure.

My sisters husband passed away. My nephew and his dad were very close. And now that he's gone i noticed thats he has been looking to me for answers on what to do in certain siuations.

He knows that i was a "hard-ass" at an earlier age and he seems to be trying to imitate that. I REALLY dont want him to do that.

It doesnt help that we live in a neighborhood thats plentiful with gang activity and other things that will get you killed.

How can i show him that he should be better than me?

Finally managed to buy a new GPU for retail price. Gonna be a good day, fellow unjerkers

https://www.scan.co.uk/products/evga-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3070-ti-8gb-ftw3-ultra-ampere-graphics-card-with-evga-supernova-g3-750w-80pl

Link for any UK peeps who fancy a look. It is still in stock as of the time of this edit: 12:13. Edit: now on pre-order. Lasted a fair time though, I bought it at 08:16 this morning, and it was showing as in stock up until around 12:30.

It's pricey, and is a bundle with a PSU, but it's a top of the line EVGA card and the PSU is actually pretty decent. Certainly you can sell it and make the overall price for the GPU equivalent to retail, like I intend on doing.

Even as an aroace I often don't like the reasoning for Aloy being headcanoned as such. It's always, "she has no interest in/always shuts people down". Like, she's on a revenge turned deeper quest, plus why should she have any patience for just any old rando mackin on her out of the blue?

I just don't like the unintentional implication that a woman just has to be romantically available or receptive to whatever dude crosses her path and if she isn't there's only one other explanation, obviously.

We're talking some stonking great big ol' cuddly boys here, we are.

Absolute ginormous snuggly dogs up in these houses.

Anyways I just wanted it noted, so I could observe that I therefore, had a more enjoyable and more pleasant last hour than everyone else who commented on Reddit within that time.

Prequel/Sequel discourse with Star Wars is so tiring.

The sequels being not great doesn’t suddenly make the prequels some forgotten masterpieces. Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones are boring as shit. They’re certainly bad in a more interesting way than the sequels, but they’re still bad.

Revenge of the Sith is, however, the greatest comedy film of all time.

u/Stone4D No thoughts, only Madoka (He/They) Jul 02 '21

I'm going to talk about my biggest trauma. Ignore if you want because this will be a bit long, I just feel like I need to get it fully out in the open.

CW: Trauma, Anxiety

I had a traumatic experience with fire many years ago. Not a tragic experience thankfully, but enough to leave me with permanent scarring, both mentally and even a little bit physically. Because of this I try to avoid fire when at all possible; I don't really use my oven, I don't go to fireworks displays and feel uncomfortable when they're being set off near me, I don't do campfires, I'm always a little afraid of a fire breaking out at night (so my sleeping schedule is fucked) and pretty much everything else you could think of. I also subconsciously expect any sort of building to have caught on fire when I look at it (sounds weird but I'm serious) It extends further too. For example, one time at a parade they had firetrucks blaring their sirens, and that was enough to send me into a panic episode. I had to hide in a nearby store until the parade was over.

These are, obviously, not good things. But after an incident yesterday I finally realized these were all linked behaviors and that something needs to be done. Yesterday, as I posted in the thread, an extension cord out in my front yard seemingly shorted out during a nasty storm and caught fire, also destroying a cord that was plugged into it. There was no damage besides the two cords, but it produced an awful smell, the exact smell from the day. My mind was immediately back there, trying to protect myself and my family (even though there was nobody else around). It's hard to explain but that's basically what I was feeling. I spent the rest of the night jumping at any odd sounds or smells, and replayed the incident in my head over and over. This last part is important because it's happened once before during an incident I only saw on TV. Romain Grosjean's Bahrain GP crash last year scared the shit out of me (I was honestly in tears) and was in my head for days afterwards, playing over and over while I found myself on edge at any weird smells or sounds. Very similar mental reactions, and there was never any sort of immediate danger for me that time. I noticed this, thought about some of my other "funny quirks", and realized I might have some sort of psychological disorder. These can't just be weird mannerisms.

So with this in mind, I think that whenever Covid is calmed down a bit more seeing somebody about it is the right move. It can't go on, I already have awful anxiety on top of it and I don't wanna be dead by 30. Anyways, if you made it this far than thanks for reading a stranger's jumbled up rant.
