My insane conspiracy theorist mother in law would love this.

Sadly.

Boy do I have a treat for you.

Hey, wake up! The new Clippy skin just dropped!

So I know this isn’t going to be popular, but… I lived in Saudi Arabia at 14. White people were targeted for kidnapping and rape continually, and no, not only women. Men too.

I myself was very close to having both happen multiple times and escaped by pure panic and luck. My father and I were nearly killed by police with assault rifles because they wanted a bribe from my Dad. We were forced to drive into the desert at gunpoint to a “second location.”

This was not unusual for the expats.

I also went to school in Cincinnati and had the shit beaten out of me multiple times because I was white.

Racists no matter who they are racist to are fucking gross and I’m sorry you had to go through what you did. Please don’t think your experience applies worldwide though. Being white, gay, black, brown, trans, or damn near anything in some places is fucking dangerous.

Why? Having correlary traits in common with someone doing something dumb isn’t embarrassing.

Andrew Tate doesn’t make me embarrassed to be a man, he’s just embarrassing himself (and anyone who chooses those views are doing the same). We are individuals.

This is a really well-put description. Having pride in the color of your skin is fucking stupid and applies to everyone.

Pride is for achievements.

Skin color is not something anyone achieved (and no, paying for aesthetics is not an achievement either).

It’s social media. People really like to hit the “fuck you” button and not discuss anything.

You have to put yourself in their position though. If they commented anything and didn’t just casually dismiss, that would mean they’d have to think. Thinking is hard. Don’t do that to them.

Edit: They also really hate having the above pointed out, but never argue with it.

The I.T. firm I run does this except we donate them to nonprofits.

My favorite Star Trek game of all time was the video board game with the Klingon host. I had everything from the Nightmare games so this was the next logical step and we loved it to even though it was cheesy as all get out.

It’s pretty common in Kickstarter circles to pledge a dollar to gain access to the pledge manager and decide if you actually want to make a purchase there.

I assume that’s what those people are doing?
