Basically I think a lot of White ppl think the antithesis to racism is "Black people are inherently Cool, White people are inherently Lame" and it's just very hard to convince them that this is also extremely racist lmfao
It's the combination of "seeing a racialized group as Fundamentally Inherently Good is still dehumanizing and you aren't seeing them as people" and "your self-flagellating White guilt is extremely annoying for the people of color around you to deal with"

people act like 20-22 year olds are adults who should be fully responsible and knowledgeable and with it and it’s like have you ever been 20, 21, 22? i knew nothing, i woke up every day dumb as rocks and made every bad choice possible until i went to bed
A big piece of why people feel this way is because they weren't treated like teenagers when they were teenagers. They were treated like young children, so when the switch flips on suddenly there are adult responsibilities and bills to pay, it feels overwhelming as young adults because there weren't stair step, age appropriate responsibilities and markers of development. There's culturally a line of 18 being the age of majority in the US, which is good for making laws to combat child labor and sexual exploitation but bad for things like on an individual level recognizing teenagers can indeed be responsible for major household chores and problem solving and repairs, and as they approach 18 can even start a job and learn what being an adult is like.
A 20 year old is an adult, even if they don't feel like it. And when we talk about feeling overwhelmed as young adults or how we did feel overwhelmed when we came of age, let's not cede linguistic ground to the conservatives who want to make doing literally anything besides signing up for the military before the age of 25 illegal.
I know I keep saying this, but if you're 20-22 years old and actually "know nothing" and are "dumb as rocks" -- if this is a relatively accurate self-assessment and you're not being hyperbolic or insecure -- that's the result of very intentional, willful decisions by people who had power over you growing up (parents, teachers) to actively keep you ignorant.
That goes beyond neglect. Neglected kids at least have some ability to take care of themselves and make decisions, out of pure necessity. If you made it to 18 or 20 or 22 without basic daily decision-making skills, someone (likely multiple someones) put a whole lot of active effort into keeping those skills from you. You deserve to be furiously angry about that, not just passively accept it as a normal stage of human development.
Anti-city people are just plain fascinating to me
"yeah i mean you just have to have energy to go to the store every day even for a fast trip because you can't keep food at home"
people who think everyone should want this life are fascinating to me
Having a grocery store nearby doesn't eliminate any and all possibility of doing big shops. It just allows the option of fewer smaller shops.
........ The post is literally about how not having a car elimiates the possibility of doing big shops. No one said having a grocery store nearby eliminated any and all possibilities of doing big shops. The screenshot shows someone asking those who are dogmatically dedicated to the idea that no one should have cars how they would go grocery shopping with 4-8 bags of groceries. The answer given is that you do a small shop every day instead of a big shop every week.
I said that you have to have energy for that, and thus the dogmatic assertion that everyone should do that is ableist.
Your response is that people can do a big shop if they want. So I ask you what the original tweet asked: How do people do this in a world without cars?
Also I'm fascinated by this idea that people in suburban areas cannot do quick small shops. Mixed use zoning isn't what "allows the option for fewer smaller shops" because energy is still what allows that. I do smaller quick trips frequently when I'm not working (like today I went to the store just to get antacids, tomorrow I will go just to get lactaid). When I am working, however, I don't have energy for that and do big shops on the weekends. Having a grocery store next to my house would not change the way that works. My energy reserves aren't going to magically work different because I have a grocer store next to me instead of a family of 4.
Hi, Op here. The post is making fun of the twitter op for moving the goal post.
And it does use less energy when you don't have to drive to get somewhere and can walk a block. If you want to do big shops, you still can, if you use a cart or cargo bike. I also never said cars should be banned in this post
Also, I am a disabled person, I cannot drive.
These responses are so crazy
Behold
It's pride month so I'll allow myself to express one opinion on the internet :
There are no "exact color" of pride flags.
I see more and more sites and posts talking about the exact hex codes for the lesbian flag, or the right purple for the ace one, and how it should be more or less saturated and I just want to say: pride flags were meant to be sewn in your kitchen. To be spraypainted and to be recognised.
There are no "exact colors" of pride flags because you should do them with what you have ! Nobody should care if you use a crimson red instead of a cherry red or whatever ! Be free ! wave your colors ! The colors you have !

"they own one, maybe two or three buildings and often live off the cash flow"
I'm sorry but it's hard to emphasize with SF landlords, I really don't care. We shouldn't prioritize these families when so many are homeless
Landlord voice: "it's so hard to be rich, people want to live in houses that are empty but I can't afford to relocate them, and that person might not want to leave the house I own in a city I have visited twice"
Taxes apartments that have been vacant for longer than six months.
The obvious solution is to make it more expensive to leave the units empty than to maintain them as actual human habitations.
sanjis big question
emotional responses are deeply evolutionarily advantageous in any animals that are making complex decisions and behaviors (in many vertebrates, say) because they act as a reinforcer for a behavior. a bird taking a vigorous bath in a puddle is probably happy because if that behavior didnt elicit a positive feeling they wouldn't do it (it is dangerous to be on the ground and wet!). if an animal can feel fear, which i think is a less contested assertion to make, then it can certainly feel the opposite, that is, happy.
Bernd Heinrich in his book Nesting Season
Coworker of mine (25) installed a voice-activated sink in his condo. Boss's response was "Albert you need to find a girlfriend."
I can understand the usefulness of voice-activated lights, but I cannot abide the sink because, in my humble opinion, you never need the sink to turn when you are not already standing at the sink. "No, what if you're cutting raw chicken." Motion-activated sink, which is already on thin ice. But also "nudge it on with your elbow."
It apparently works by having the handle in the always-on position, and the voice apparatus is stoppering the water. Presents an entire world of possibilities for that to fail and just pour water for hours.
Coworker has said it's already gone offline a few times and he doesn't know what's wrong with it.
People DO try to activate the sink during meetings by saying "Google, 4 cups of water." Coworker's office seems to not be near enough the kitchen for this to bear fruit but we remain hopeful. Complicating factor has been introduced with the discovery that "Alexa, turn off dining room lights" DOES work on boss, whose WFH set up is in his dining room.
Age old debate again;
What do you picture when the phrase "dog water" is used to mean something sucks?
Dog bowl on floor partially drank out of by dog
Dirty puddle only a dog would drink out of
Water that was used to boil hotdogs
Liquid that comes in a pack of hotdogs
Dog drool
Dog piss

i think it's actually really horrifying and detrimental that it's considered socially unacceptable to tell parents when they are making mistakes while raising their kids
"don't tell me how to raise my kids" is seen as a good defense and it's so disturbing to me.
children are not your property that you can do whatever you like with.
giving birth or impregnating someone or adopting doesn't give you some inherent wisdom that means you can never fuck up.
and you shouldn't have the right to abuse or neglect or misinform a child just because you have legal guardianship of them.
they deserve to have others speak up on their behalf. i don't care if it hurts your ego.
the vast majority of the time, it is all about ego and control btw.
a staggering amount of parents view their children as their property and see advice as someone trying to take away their "deserved" control.
a ton of them are more concerned with being perceived as a good parent over actually being one.
