i honestly don’t get why people refuse to let their dogs be on furniture like sofas, like either stop spending so much money on furniture or start cleaning your dogs paws, depending on the reasoning behind not letting them up.
like do they not want to cuddle with their pet? why have a pet then??
I’m curious, is there another word that have the same taboo status as the n-word? I’ve never heard of another word that can only be uttered if you have the right shade of skin. What a stupid world we live in, seriously.
I’m not speaking from any position of authority here, but I think it has more to do with being in the right culture, not the right skin color like some people imply.
There are urban white kids who grew up in the projects who use the same language as their black peers, and I think generally no one cares. However, when someone outside that culture uses that language, it’s not something they use for normal speech and there’s probably some other motivation behind it. It’s just like in a lot of people’s speech they say “bro” but it doesn’t mean brother. To people outside the culture it means black person, but they use it like others use “bro”. It doesn’t really mean anything.
Reiterating, I have very little experience with this. It’s just my observations. I’ve known black people who it’d be weird for them to use this language and seen white people who it’s just a normal part of their speech.
I don’t think it’s as removed from skin color as you think. If someone saw the white kids saying it and didn’t know they grew up in the projects, would they still not care? Conversely, if a bunch of black kids who grew up in an affluent household said it, would people be offended?
You’d likely know where they grew up by the manner of their speaking. The white kids from the projects are going to sound “urban” and the black affluent people are going to sound stereotypically “white”. I wouldn’t be offended (I’m white) but I would be surprised if the black people I know who do not use that language started using the n-word suddenly. It’s not a part of their normal language, so what caused them to suddenly start using it? Probably nothing good I would assume.
It also depends on the time and place. Those white kids from the projects would probably need to code switch when going to a job interview or something, for example, just like their black peers do. That language is context-dependents on whether it’s acceptable. It’s more than just being black.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I was under impression that Porche lost the bid to build Tigers, though? And all the chassis they built for it were instead used for the Ferdinand.
Nah wiki says your right. A company called Henschel made the tiger. Krupp helped with the tiger 2. Porsche was barley involved. I didn’t even know he competed for the contract, I thought he just coined the name.
Because they were prohibitively expensive in materials to make. They were diesel electric. Like modern trains. But all the copper needed made them unfeasible.
Not that anyone asked or even cares, but you know what really annoys me? Liquid IV. It’s this trendy rehydration beverage with electrolytes and shit. Why does it annoy me? Setting aside the fact that every actual IV is in liquid form, not only is the drink not an actual IV, obviously, but it’s not even a liquid. It’s a fucking powdered drink mix. /rant
I was totally thinking about how these shows must be faked in some way. I just figured they payed people to go looking, despite the fact they actually have a nice enough home(s) and don’t actually need to move.
I always figured they paid people to act excited on The Price is Right.
Imagine if someone didn’t even want to be there and just went to the studio because their family surprised them with tickets while they were on vacation. Then they get picked and super grudgingly go through the whole game.
Nah, they just wouldn’t choose someone who wasn’t excited to be there. Pretty sure they interview everyone before hand and watch them before filming before deciding who to pick. It’s definitely not just random.
