I know it’s wrong, but doesn’t it feel so right?

I doubt many MAJOR racists changed their minds at all.
For the sake of definition, I’m going to say a major racist is someone who actively hates a group and will go out of their way to watch them suffer. A minor racist could be a child of a major racist. They won’t go out of their way to make them suffer, but they are suspicious of them and less likely to treat the group with equal respect. They don’t have personal reasons for their hate, but they’ve been raised to accept the group as inferior.
Minor racists either lean into the racism, or they get out of that circle and expand their perspective.
Progress is generational. Our kids are generally more accepting than we are. Young adults today are more accepting of LGBT+ than my generation was, just like we were less racist than our parents or grandparents.
Major racists don’t change their mind, they die off. We sadly won’t see major change in our lifetime, but as long as we instill our good values to the next generation, and are willing to learn new ones from the younger generation, we’ll get there.
Your post is the online equivalent of walking into a room and saying:
“Hey morons! Are any of you smart enough to have a conversation that will make me feel superior to the rest of you bumblefucks? There were a few people at the last place I visited that also enjoyed that kind of conversation, but I doubt any of you could handle it.”
This is the way.
I’m ADHD, and a fight will ruin my day. I mean it will literally prevent me from accomplishing ANYTHING besides mindless tasks.
A few hours afterwards I’m often found staring into space reflecting on who said what, what I should say/do if it comes up again, and how it will affect tomorrow or the day after that. For bigger issues, the reflection will gradually reduce over the next few days.
I don’t think that’s what they meant when they said to “Go suck a dipstick”.
They don’t feel guilt. They just want to be able to say “Well, there have been rumors (that we started) that Mr. Dem has been doing that for years! Why aren’t you investigating HIM?”
Coffee, black with too much sugar.
To me, tea always seemed like it was just hot water that’s unsuccessfully trying to taste like sticks and flowers.
So, back when I worked in a Verizon store, I dealt with a lot of damaged phones. Any time there’s water in a dream, I always check my phone to see if it’s water damaged. Other than that, it never really gets used.
Now I’m wondering if I shouldn’t start every question with “Riddle me THIS, Batman!” 🤔
Hey thanks! Love you too!
Often when I’m talking to give information, people get something completely different from it. I know how words work, but somehow it turns to garbage between my brain and their ears.
If I am super interested in a book that I got as a gift, I will tear through it in a few days. That being said, I’ve probably read like 4 adult books since being out of school. Plenty of kids books over the years, (I had mastered Fox in Socks at one point.)
It takes a lot for me to take that much time on a book.
They don’t really have to work at all.
I don’t play, but everyone I know who does, learned Smoke on the Water first.
I never played sleepy music until I was a teen, and every night I played Cake - Fashion Nugget. Great, mellow tunes, and I learned ALL the lyrics subliminally!
Ok, I did listen to it awake, so maybe it wasn’t completely subliminal, but it’s been a while and I bet I could still sing 80% of the album from memory.
Nowadays, it’s just the fan or AC running.
EDIT: I typed the wrong Cake album originally.
It might be better to NOT ban them. If I read a post and decide that this is not someone I want to interact with EVER again, I can block them and move on. But, if they get banned and come back with a new name, they pop right back in my feed.
I’ll give them some credit, not EVERY question is terrible, but damn they sure are depressing. It’s like talking to Eeyore.
I’m watching a lot of old sitcoms and that’s a pretty common characteristic. Seems like there’s always multiple characters lying and manipulating their loved ones for relatively insignificant reasons. At the end we all have a few laughs and think that’s normal.
Our second wedding anniversary is this weekend!
