So, I am perfectly willing to be wrong in this, but I posit that you don’t know anyone (personally) that is involved in this movement (either violently or peacefully). So I am guessing you don’t see the people like my neighbor, a veteran who organized hundreds of other veterans to March in DC and worked with local churches to provide a street kitchen with supplies and water.
I’m guessing that you are only experiencing the acts violence, and in that only seeing it second hand.

I would think the question, do you know anyone involved with... would be just as valid for groups like proud boys (I for example don’t, and also don’t have much to say about them) I’d be less inclined to think it matters with the KKK, but maybe that’s living a stones throw from the inception of the group and seeing first hand the hate and atrocity they preach (and practice).
I ask the question because i don’t get the impression that any of you have been attacked/robbed/victimized by the violent actors in this group (BLM). And while I don’t deny that there are violent actors and l agree that the behavior is unacceptable, there are a lot of people involved with the group that are striving to make the world a better place.

Do any of you personally know one or more person/people involved in any of the BLM anything?

It can’t actually tell the host what apps are running in the background. If they host chooses to check they can see if someone is running another app for more than 30 seconds in the foreground, but they cannot tell what is running.

@interesting I’m sorry you felt insulted by my comment, but please also note that of the 5 comments yours was only one (and also the only neutral comment). So I didn’t mean to suggest that your question was on one side or the other.
The question, ‘are we sure it is real’ is a very important one and one we all need to ask more often. I was really glad you asked.
I also know that our internet personas are not as dimensional as we are in real life. And I find that having open conversations with people I know and share meals with that say and believe things like those stated here, is a valuable experience for someone who believes something very different. (For everyone)
It is important to ask if he really tweeted that. Just as it is important to ask if those that oppose Trump really believe that he has no black, latinx or female supporters.

Could easily be a school uniform. Even in the west we have schools that require this sort of dress.
As far as back story, having a kid this age makes me think that the “president’s” *parents* have religious beliefs that preclude the costume. But the kid clearly wants to participate.
Or it could be that they are just sticklers for the letter of the law.
Can we keep the bandana part for a while longer? 11 comments

Nah. It’s not fine for introverts either. Introverts need social interaction too. They just don’t need as much.
Not trying to compare or diminish the experience of extroverts. Just saying it’s hard on everyone. And living in a household with both types I get to see those effects manifest in different ways on each of them.

People were them like bandits. It creates a mask of sorts, is something many people already have at home and readily hangs around you neck. Oh and it makes you look like a bandit!

I like how when a republican does something “admittedly stupid” the message is still that the Democrats are stupid.
Guys, I’m not trying to be insulting, but get out of your echo chamber and listen to other viewpoints from real people that you know and not the internet or media.
Democrats are not denying that Trump has a large number of black, latinx and even female supporters. It’s confusing, but that doesn’t make it less true.
And, yes, the tweet was real. Controversy/scandal ensues.

Embrace all the amazing feats the human body is capable of 10 comments

I’m not sure why there is so much ribs-sticking-out in the photo, but I think it’s about pregnancy. A lot of women get stretch marks from pregnancy. And many women feel very self conscious about it. I think it’s just trying to remind them of the amazing thing their body did and not to be ashamed of the badge of honor imparted.

I’ll be honest, I’m not crazy about the only usb-c ports thing. But it’s not a big deal. I bought the adapter on the same ticket with the machine because I knew I would want it. And, I sorta love the part where I can plug the charger in on either side. And this machine weighs less than half the one it replaced (which was 10 years old).

Okay, but this pancake measurement is arbitrary because the letters refer to a ratio to band size. In other words, “A” is one inch difference from the band size, “B” is two inches difference and so on. So a 36A will hold more batter than a 32A and a 36DD will hold about the same as 38D.
This is a terrible way to measure your pancake batter, it will not be consistent unless you include the band size!

It should impact him for the same reason it impacts her. Why should she be punished if she’s doing it on her own time using her own devices?
Not saying I approve of school age people doing this sort of thing, but it isn’t related to school.

The place I used to work made the worst coffee. It was so bad I did switch to tea, for almost 10 years. Then my team got our own coffee pot and started making good coffee and I started drinking it and everyone was confused because they thought I didn’t like coffee. No, I just don’t like bad coffee.
