  • As a pop drinker, it never made sense to me that people in the south call all soda "coke".

  • Stop appropriating my culture, poser.

  • I got into City of Heroes for a minute when I found out about the Homecoming server. I never got the chance to play it when it was active, so it was cool messing around on there.

  • I was 19 when Obomna became president, and I remember being kind of stoked about getting universal healthcare (because I was a politically unaware ignorant dummy). When the ACA passed and I went to sign up for healthcare, I remember seeing that I still couldn't afford to go to the doctor and was like, "What the fuck? This is bullshit."

  • I love the giant golden-crowned flying fox. Their wingspan can get up to 5 feet, and they like to eat figs. I'd love to make friends with one, someday.

  • When it said Gremlin, I thought it meant the car. I'm not a car person, but I always thought Gremlins were cool:

  • Vanilla soy milk in my frosted mini wheats is about the extent of my milk-drinking, nowadays.

  • Where the fuck is the speedometer and shit? Is it supposed to be on the guy's non-working screen, off to the right?

  • Literally braver than the troops. That's admirable af.

    I can't even imagine being told (and forced) by my government to either go help exterminate this ethno group we don't like, or go to jail.

  • Yeah, MSN pushes out the types of articles that you see in the spam section of the Weather Channel ads. Shit like, an unflattering picture of an old celebrity and it says, "You won't BELIEVE what Jennifer Coolidge Looks like now!"

  • It really is a nice touch

  • I got plenty of one of those things

  • Frankling

  • Your experiences and opinions are completely justified. I'm white, and white people have a shit ton of unlearning to do by default, as others have mentioned. I'd like to believe that a lot of white leftists genuinely support and believe in progressive, socialist, or communist beliefs/movements, but it takes a lot of work to shift from always viewing everything from a white lens.

    I'll admit that I was a bit of a shithead until about 7 years ago when I got introduced to new ideas and began to truly listen to other people's experiences. When you're growing up in a primarily white suburban bubble, that kind of curbs social development if there isn't a lot of exposure to other peoples' and cultures experiences.

    Granted, it is a very common phenomenon that white leftists put on the air of revolutionary thought & rhetoric, but they're still more white than leftist. A lot of these folks never grow beyond just saying the right things, and the mask can slip off and they'll show their ass. That does make it difficult to sus out whether a white person is genuine or not, and I've run into it plenty of times myself.

  • Mf really went, "Ooh, free leg!"

  • He's so young to be having a stroke, that shit's scary af. I hope he's recovering okay, he seems like a really thoughtful and good dude.

  • Imagine paying $40 million for a home in florida

  • I've seen dozens of these, and it's always peach cream in the caption.

  • Trump added: “We are headed toward communism. There’s never been a period of time like that in our country’s history. And that’s the way communism starts. And we can’t let it happen.”

    I just...I just really want to know in what ways they think we're definitely headed towards communism. Things have never been worse, and the capitalists are only further consolidating their control over the workers.
