By domino Go To Postventing out loud hereMost people don't get it and will never get it. I'm Puerto Rican and even I've had it relatively easy but people will never understand walking around the corner to their friends house at the age of 10 and being stopped by cops because you wore red sweatpants and a black shirt (I grew up in one of the whitest places possible). They'll never understand walking home after work and having the cops throw you up against the wall threatening you off the jump because "you fit the description of a crime that happened a mile away" or understand the cops standing by doing nothing while some white redneck across the street threatens you with a gun. They'll never understand 4 minorities being surrounded by 30 white people and have the cops questioning you as if you're the one at fault. I watched my friend's brother with a broken arm have 4 cop cars try to put him in handcuffs with his arms behind his back.
i don't think a lot of white folks really get how exhausting it is to be black all your life.
i get that this is a lot of people's first protest. the first time they're really having to take a look at the company they keep in their own time. the first time you really paid attention to police brutality despite black people telling you about it for years. on some level it feels like it's like the trendy exciting for them to be involved because its new to them. its been my life for 29 years tho
speaking in general, not about people on this site
This isn't even a race thing or solely focused on white privilege. A lot of Asians or hell, even other Hispanic people don't understand this shit and it infuriates me even more. I'm more mad about the other minorities who act like shit isn't that bad only because they've never been through it.
By NinjaFridge Go To PostShit's hardi thought language would be relatively easy since it already has rules built in.
By syrenity now! Go To Posti thought language would be relatively easy since it already has rules built in.lol no.
languages are complex and don't follow logic. there are also many words who are written the same but mean completely different things.
By syrenity now! Go To Posta computer can't figure that shit out?A computer can barely drive in a straight line without killing you.
By syrenity now! Go To Posti thought language would be relatively easy since it already has rules built in.lmao
language is a complicated series of bullshit filled with hidden meanings, context, regional differences, etc etc. computers can barely read the languages intended for them
By Lunatic Go To PostA computer can barely drive in a straight line without killing you.
As if computers can drive at all, my laptop can't even reach the pedals.
By syrenity now! Go To Posta computer can't figure that shit out?how would it know which definition of the word you meant? it basically has to guess. it's one of those things humans are good at that you can't just fix with more power.
By syrenity now! Go To Postwhy aren't language translators like super top tier by now?Because idioms and turns of phrase and completely different grammatical structures are super hard.
i envy people who can figure out languages and then just need to learn the words. my monkey brain almost breaks everytime i want to learn a new one while other people can just do it willy-nilly.

DeepL is pretty damn good. Far better than those tech giant attempts.

Vent as much as you like mate, we here.
By Fenderputty Go To PostThere isn’t a white person alive that fully gets how exhausting it is to be black.
As a white kid, I think the first time I really started to notice the differences was Patrice O'neal talking about receipts
I think I had a general uncomfortable nightmares thread but I can't find it right now.
But one thing is for sure, hydrating has my mind TRIPPING at night.

trying to budget better in general so i'm meal prepping on sundays for lunch throughout the week. i could get used to spending like $20 a week for lunch vs probably $80-100
Not everyone makes lunches at home or lives in cheap-to-eat at lunch cities. A goddamn sandwich in SF is $15 before tax/tip, easy.
If you know sandwiches are $15+tax and tip, then surely that should be motivation to make your lunch at home. I mean even if i didn't have time to do anything, I'd still prefer to just buy a pot of hummous and some pitta bread, or a pre-prepared soup or something rather than buying a $15 sandwich
Two months back we subscribed to a meal kit service that ships you fresh ingredients and recipes for the weekdays. Best decision we’ve made tbh.
By Pac-12 Go To PostWho eats lunch.
Or breakfast.
Cowards is who.
By Laboured Go To PostCowards is who.Snorting your coke from a toilet seat also counts as lunch.
By diehard Go To Post$80-100 on lunch a week? dude..I was treating myself for years since I had peanuts for rent 🤷🏿♂️
Desserts and drinks were the killer
By Pennywise Go To PostSnorting your coke from a toilet seat also counts as lunch.
Well that's where you're simply wrong.

Lunch desserts?
Ok this is a new level of SLAENT elite.
i probably eat like 3 desserts a day
i'm determined to outwork my diet as long as i can before i switch up and eat cleaner.

By sohois Go To PostAlso does lunch drinks mean alcohol? Did you work at a 1980s investment bank?
He said lunch drinks, not lunch cocaine.
Incidentally, domino likes his martini to be shaken, not stirred.
By syrenity now! Go To Postmy hair is a fucking messSame. Haven’t gotten a cut since late Feb.
By domino Go To Posti probably eat like 3 desserts a dayI'm mixing desserts with everything now just to try and gain weight. My oatmeal is basically 70% toppings and chocolate lmao

why are you eating three desserts a day?
why do you want to continue eating three desserts a day for as long as you can?
help me understand, domino.
i just love sweets. always have. i ate a 5 lb bag of gummy bears in a day once in middle school. that wasnt a pleasant night
usually i'll hit the bakery or coffee shop after lunch
then i have a stash of jolly ranchers and skittles in my office
and i always keep ice cream, pie or cake on deck at home.
