Water Bowl Slime

Don’t forget the abuse committed by the kpop idols themselves. Look up the burning sun scandal. A ton of the Korean upper class got caught sex trafficking and date raping women at a big nightclub a few years ago. South Korea’s entertainment industry is pretty much the same as America’s.

Oh then since you don’t know, let me explain. Porque (no spaces) means because. Por qué (two words, with an accent) means why. Since they get mixed up a lot, people often just write “pq” to mean either so if you see that on the hispanic internet that’s what that means.

Also all question words have an accent so use that to remember which is which.

I think lemmygrad has a community for learning Spanish but it’s dead

I meant the person you responded to. Your Spanish was flawless and I wouldn’t’ve known you didn’t speak it if you hadn’t said so.

The US’s only export is mass shooters.

He got porque and por qué confused so he probably isn’t. Gringo mistake.

i say as if I haven’t made the same mistake a million times

In a world where antisemitism holds so much weight, islamophobia apparently doesn’t matter at all.

(yeah I know that real bigotry against jews barely matters too and that the word has been coopted by zionists)

It’s rich hearing economic investment being described as an “offensive” when there’s actual war going on right now. Including with Russia. Anyway I hope this helps Mexico become less dependent on US trade because god knows they need to.

Lingua Franca? More like Lengua Hispana am I right

Haircut appointments? That are online? Where you have to choose your style in advance?? That’s wild. I just walk in to the salon and tell the lady what I vaguely want when I’m already in the chair.

Sapo Verde to you 🐸

To pronounce a foreign name correctly basically means to know the phonetics and orthography of that language. Pretty much no one dedicates that kind of effort. English speakers regularly mispronounce Hispanic names too and Spanish has totally unambiguous spelling.

Also, only weebs get Japanese names right consistently.

What’s up with white people saying “I didn’t have [thing] on my bingo card”? It’s like an animal crossing catchphrase with them, I swear. I heard two distinct people say it today alone. So freaky.

Stranger: “¿Dónde está la biblioteca?”

I think that this machine learning stuff is just revealing the role of illustrators/writers/musicians in our society: slop factories. They’re here to churn out the latest cash-grab sequel movies and generic Billboard hot 100 songs. Whatever you define “art” as, it’s probably not what these industries are pumping out even with human talent.

But that’s not the fault of the code because it’s been like this since forever. Besides, shouldn’t it come as a relief that this uninspired, unfulfilling work is becoming automated? The amount of support I’m seeing online about these infamously soul-crushing jobs is a little weird. I mean, I know unemployment is worse but people are getting all RETVRNy about grinding at their poorly paid creative jobs. Surely we can imagine a future better than wage slaving for suits, right? Beyond the commodification of all human expression? Maybe not.

I don’t think it’s helpful for him to keep calling your perspective “fringe” either, as if an accurate understanding of the world is fanatical.

Though I do wonder what he’d respond to a student that sent him Nazi apologia - would he push back against them too? Would he even recognize it as Nazi apologia at all? Surely he must be getting some because his class dedicates a week to the “holodomor genocide”. Considering that, I wouldn’t hold what he says in high regard on anything related to Ukraine, the USSR or communism in general. Why keep listening to someone who has proven their ignorance y’know?

You’re not crazy! Western countries rely on nonstop gaslighting to function really.

The kyiv independent article that you were linked doesn’t even deny that the red and black flag was used by Nazis??? It even admits that Nazi Ukrainians killed thousands of Poles??? How TF is that convincing anyone who isn’t already a Nazi

It would have been better for your professor to have said nothing at all goddamn…

In a just world, showing such support for Nazis intentional or otherwise would get your teaching credentials revoked, at minimum.

You are justified in feeling this way. Don’t let up, we will carry on the fight against fascism together 💪💚

Describing the trial of the OUN in Warsaw in 1935–1936, Mirchuk changed the political meaning of the fascist salute “Slava Ukraïni!” which the OUN members performed several times in the courtroom. He described how the OUN members shouted “Slava Ukraïni!” but did not mention that they extended their right arms. He thereby turned this greeting into something for which Ukrainian patriots born after the Second World War could have sympathy.

It’s basically how the US turned the fascist pledge of allegiance into something “appropriate” by making kids put their hands on their hearts instead of doing the nazi salute.

He is Australian and that’s a terminal condition, sadly.

Depends on the nationalism, really. The IRA fighting for sovereignty is based, but Hong Kong pleading to get recolonized by Britain is cringe.
