Nope! Acknowledgement of and making fun of racism is not in and of itself racist. Thanks for asking, and I'm glad I could clear that up! (-274)

Basedness: 🔥🔥🔥🔘🔘

Mocking white people and asserting that white people often secretly have malicious racist motives, is racist though. Glad I could clear that up! (186)

Earnestly implying that white people often have hidden racist biases <----Not racist.Earnestly saying that all white people always have hidden racist motives <---- Kinda racist.My comic does the former, not the latter. Glad I could clear that up! (-202)

Really drew out the Not-Alls with this one, huh?For those of y'all who have your head in your butt, this obviously isn't about all white people because idk if you knew this, but not all white people are racist (though you could argue whether they continue to benefit from systemic racism). This also isn't about all racism, either. No shit people of every race are racist. This is about covert racism that you see a lot in environments where racists are taught that open racism is wrong, but don't internalize why it's wrong. They change how they refer to people because, oh god, they don't want the negative consequences, but they don't change the attitudes or beliefs behind them. It's like those stupid slur-baiting “Who was in Paris?” memes. People understand that they shouldn't say slurs but god darn do they want to. And obviously this is a behavior mostly seen in middle class white Americans because they get decent education but still have parents/grandparents who're still salty about de... (-1)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

The amount of people in the comments saying “I can't believe OP hates all white people” or “this is just as racist as if it said ‘black people'” is pretty pathetic. Yes, generalisations are bad, but when you have an institutionalised system of racism, then the outcome is generally the “dominant” race in that system being racist (with varying intensity/intent). That said, this post is about those racist things said by racist white people, not literally all white people. Also I'm not super educated on the topic but I'm hesitant to say racism against white people (at least in country's like America) exist (-24)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

Subtitle: I want to draw a line in the sand between their racism and whatever forms of racism I participate in so I can feel good about myself rather than do the continual work of being introspective to actively deprogram the racism that I have been and continue to be taught. (-38)

Y'all downvoting but this is right. White people as a cultural group still set the standards of representation for our culture. Which means it's important not to associate with the racists by being offended on behalf of the people who claim to represent you.This is the man/bear question all over again. Yes it's not fair you have to be associated with these people. But being offended shows which side you're showing empathy towards. It's a messy topic and that means there's messy lines.These perspectives are not about painting with a wide brush. They're about sharing how the problem is still so endemic that from the perspectives of non-white people are experiencing so much racism that there's no way to talk about individuals only.It's not "all white people are racists".It's "white culture still has so much racism embedded in it".It's a subtle difference but a massive change in perspective if you think about it that way.

It apparently started when SNOY started mandating linking PSN accounts to steam/PC version of the game

/r/PCGaming: Helldivers 2 to require linking Steam account to a Playstation account starting on May 6th. It was previously optional due to technical issues at launch

/r/Games : HELLDIVERS 2 Account Linking Update

The revolution begins

Aftermath:

/r/steam : Helldivers 2 went from one of the most beloved Steam games to one of the most hated pretty quickly

PCGaming :

• Helldivers 2 received over 14,000 negative reviews today due to an update that will require PSN accounts next week.

• Helldivers 2 has now received 84,000 negative reviews in the past day.

I like you Dream so I'm going to be respectful here but destroying public property is not peaceful protest. This is what caused the failure of BLM. Most normal people are turned off by bad behavior. A better strategy would have been sit-ins on the outside property itself but…

I gave up after about an hour trying to explain that destroying property and acting r-slurred as bad actually.

Some 30 police officers in Sweden provoked public outrage in yet another major scandal involving gang activity. It appears that law enforcement officials allowed themselves to be seduced and exploited by gangsters to whom they gave information that later led to several deadly altercations on the streets.

The shocking details were first revealed in an extensive investigation published by the local daily Dagens Nyheter (DN), which found over 500 instances of Swedish police personnel leaking classified information. Gang members were briefed regarding ongoing investigations, upcoming raids, or competing gangs.

DN's report also found evidence that leaks concerning information on rival criminals assisted in several attacks on enemy gang members, including at least four murders.

The report—based on conversations with some 50 sources in the law enforcement community and the criminal underworld, backed by hundreds of public documents—also revealed that, in many cases, the gang members used quite unconventional methods to obtain the information, such as starting “sexual relationships with strategically selected [female] police officers.”

One example is “Elin,” who met her gangster boyfriend through a dating app when she was still a cadet. Regularly, she chose to feed him classified information she obtained through illegal searches over the course of four years until she was caught.

For many, many years, I've recorded that my girls outperform the boys by a wide margin. In my case, the measured difference between them is so large that I cannot help but think something is wrong with our boys, particularly after I also account for their general behavior.

If I test 100 children and score work blindly, with names removed, the top 90% will be girls, and it has been so for a couple decades.

Sounds like you teach grade school.

Boys largely struggle to follow simple directions. Working memory is poor. Executive functioning is minimal. They are impulsive to the core, constantly distracted, and unable to perform at grade level. Compared to girls, the boys leave me feeling as if I where working with infants and toddlers. Most students we have in our special education programs and those with IEPs are boys. In every class I've had, most of the boys strike me as being mentally handicapped. Yes, there are outliers. There are always outliers amongst both genders.

lmao These literal children would rather play than listen to me, are they retarded?

I don't know if boys ever catch up,

Considering !fellas outperform !biofoids almost across the board I'd say they do more than catch up

but I do not suspect that to be the case, given the deltas I record every day. I'm familiar with the old anecdotes of boys maturing slower and being a couple years behind the emotional development of girls, but this appears to be something more ominous.

No, boys are just tuff enough that they don't falter the moment you crack the whip.

its called the patriarchy. Boys are not held to the same social standards as girls.

Then why are boys the most likely to be punished?

The patriarchy, which leaves boys behind?

The sentiment is that low achieving boys will achieve higher than high achieving women because of patriarchal standards.

These boys DON'T have to try hard because the system is meant for them to succeed.

Are you literally retarded? They don't try because they don't care. They're children who'd rather be playing amongst themselves.

Except that's not an explanation for what's happening here. Boys aren't doing worse in high school because they "have an understanding" that they will succeed later on. They're just...failing.

They aren't just failing in K-12, either. The success of boys in a continual downtrend at college as well.

It's bizarre to me that someone would look at a kid who is going to drop out of high school and say "Well, the patriarchy!" like it's a point worth making in that context.

It's because teachers are made up solely of unicels who had it pounded into their head that patriarchy was the great satan that caused all sin in the world.

Teachers are mostly women. Parents who actually parent are mostly women. Males are taught to not respect or listen to women. It's not difficult stuff to grasp.

That doesn't track at all. Somehow the majority of authority in a boys life is female and he's taught not to respect them? No, hr learns not to respect them. Seeing teachers fail basic physical tasks, bow down to empty authority and go on childish power trips teaches him not to respect women.

Didn't see any drama threads about this. Governor Newsom signed a bill that would raise utility bills for Californians based on income.

Under $28,000 income — $24 per month

$28,000 to $69,000 income — $34 per month

$69,000 to $180,000 income –$73 per month

Over $180,000 income — $128 per month

This is on top of current utility rates.

Commiefornia Redditors in the thread explain they're happy to pay the increases while others are screaming for the heads of PG&E execs (and a few for the legislators who actually passed this lol)

Cute pictures of her new velvet hippo Hickory:

https://old.reddit.com/r/velvethippos/comments/1ceklyc/welp_my_husband_brought_his_first_dog_home_to_stay/?sort=controversial

Hickory is home! After a decent introduction to Honey, we took him home. Honey was only slightly annoying to him as she yodeled loudly in his face for the first 30 minutes she met him. So, here he is! Hickory the Hippo!

Some of the typical comments:

Hickory is going to need lots of tennis balls!! I love him so much. Completely adorable! 🧡💙

⠀

He's beautiful I love him 🥰❤️ congratulations!

Honey still seems displeased.

Displeased? She looks like she's completely disassociated. Unable to comprehend the horror of the situation.

Only 3 hours later, disaster strikes!

https://old.reddit.com/r/velvethippos/comments/1ceprr6/that_was_horribly_shortlived_and_i_feel_horrible/?sort=controversial

Hickory bit honey. I had just gone into my bedroom to take a nap. My husband and two sons were in the living room with the dogs. The dogs were fine. Then my daughter came home. Honey immediately ran to greet her, as did Hickory. The next thing I heard was a dog screaming and my husband screaming, “NO!! NO!! STOP!!” I ran out, and Hickory had Honey by the head. Right as I got to them, he shook her. I put pressure behind his jaw and he immediately let go of her and backed away. I had both dogs by the collar and told my husband to take Hickory to another part of the house away from Honey while I assessed her wounds. Two punctures on her ear lobe, and a puncture on her cheek. We called the vet and got instructions to care for her. The dogs are separated in different areas of the house, with strict instructions about who is to play with him, because we have a 5 year old child who is obsessed with him. We are flabbergasted. The meet and greet with them went well. We contacted a friend of ours who runs a pit rescue. We DO NOT want to take him back to the kill shelter. I fricking feel HORRIBLE. I feel like I failed Hickory, Honey, my family, and the shelter. I'm literally sick about it.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Both dogs were on leashes. Unfortunately, they both ran to see my daughter at the same time, and I'm guessing the poor guy was just overstimulated . He is NOT a bad boy. He is a sweet, sweet guy. I've been in contact with my vet and some friends who do rescue. One is a veterinarian that specifically does pibbles. Humphrey had a hard time at first, too. He was terrified and reactive to men. It took a lot of work, but he did fine. We currently have the dogs in separate halves of the house. They can see and hear each other, but can't get to each other.

He's NOT a bad boy he's so sweet he only chewed on my dog's head a little bit

If you can't reasonably keep them separated for a bit, then for everyone's safety, return to the shelter but please do not tell them about the bite because it'll be an instant death sentence. Just say your dog wasn't getting along with him and it wasn't a good fit.

GOOD idea, there's too many toddlers in the world anyway

OP, is your Husband the one who's had most of the interactions with Hickory, or are You the one? Because it may have been a relatively "simple" matter (although ADMITTEDLY Terrifying!) matter of resource guarding.💖 Both dogs were FINE, and doing reasonably well together UNTIL your Daughter walked in. She was a NEW human, and therefore a NEW resource for both dogs. He wanted the resource (remember, he hasn't HAD many resources to call his OWN in who knows how long, living in a shelter!💖), and he was trying to protect that resource (even though the resource was your DAUGHTER!), from Honey. Work with your vet, work with your friend who's been with the rescue, AND see if there's anyone GOOD locally, who works in Behavior, who you guys can tap in for advice!💝 You're very much still in that FIRST Three, of the 3-3-3 rule, correct? For now, YES, ABSOLUTELY keep the kids away unless you're next to them, keep the dogs separate but able to see/smell & get used to each other, and then take it slowly and assess each step!💖 This MAY be a deal-breaker, OR it may be a simple blip. Time, patience, and careful observation will tell you which one it truly is!

I can't be the only one who finds the juxtaposition funny between the sparkly hearts and the advice on how to stop your dogs eating each other
