    Nope. Nowhere did I say they shouldn’t use ANY Mexican symbol.

    What I did say, is it would be much more powerful imagery to convince conservatives it’s wrong, if the cops are seen cracking down on someone waving a US flag.

    Please, PLEASE stop being a reactionary and understand how messaging and subtext works.




  • No one is asking people to spend all evening cooking gourmet meals. Many, many, MANY food items, like a toasted tuna sandwich, grilled cheese, mac n cheese, frying up some eggs, whipping up pre mixed pancakes, etc… They all take less time than it takes to drive to a fast food place, order food, and either drive back, or sit and eat it.

    But noooo, let’s choose to be a victim of our own circumstances instead of trying to improve things in the little ways we can control! You are so wise for rolling over and giving up.



  • The sun emits around 1.4KW of energy per square meter. At the Earth’s surface. At ocean altitude. Sunlight is warm, because it’s a shitload of energy.

    Any effect experienced beyond directly feeling it does happen, too. I forgot the name of the phenomenon where seeing something reminds you of how it feels, but that happens because sunlight is warm. Very, very warm.

    I want to say the phenomenon is something like synesthesia, but I think there’s a more specific term for the general memory engram referencing effect? Maybe I’m overthinking it.




  • Yea I agree with you from the perception angle. Being poor is a disgusting trap that the US should be fully ashamed that it still exists.

    … Though mathematically, only a fool pays piecemeal for the PRODUCT of what they could do themselves for much, much less. A week of suffering to open up your food options is a strategic move more people should and can make.

    If they were truly, completely unable to save money, they wouldn’t be the audience going to fast food that we’re talking about, as fast food is also beyond the truly poor’s budget.

    You can get A LOT more food from groceries than fast food for the same price, so if they’re going to fast food and complaining about never being able to afford things… I have good news for them!
