Sorry, we had to deny your application because you're Asian. Try another school.
Traveling is pointless, and waffles with liver are the only gifts worth giving; aging is dreadful, CGI backgrounds are overrated, and the last day of school is better than any Spiderman movie
Reddit comment threads are currently just full of groupmind wankery. I like being on a platform where I don't 100% agree with everyone and I don't have to hold "sanctioned" opinions that are approved by a mod team of 3.
Spanish would be a good description of your ethnic background in that situation, but there are quite a number of ethnic identities within Spain as well - the Basque, Galicians and Catalans, just to name a few. “Spanish” isn’t a racial monolith. There would be plenty of people whose ethnic background looks quite different to yours but who are no less Spanish.
But none of that is mutable, is it?
This seems pretty well thought out.
I'm a little confused by: "A belief that race is an immutable genetic concept". If I was born in Spain and my whole family has lived there for centuries, am I not Spanish / a Spaniard?
I'd agree that saying things like "all Spaniards are terrible at math" is racist, but I don't see how one's race is mutable in this fashion.
What's your definition of a Nazi? A member of a national socialist party? I want to understand what is being banned before it's banned.
Why WOULDN'T we move off if something better came along?
OK, if it's so easy and the workers create all the value, those workers are free to start their own competing company and become the billionaires.
Because there are also CEOs and similar executives that do NOT fuck up and make billions for their companies. Big risk, but big reward.

NOOO not THOSE jobs
This is the best analysis I've seen so far. The majority of posts I have seen say "reddit is an inch from death", which isn't even remotely close to accurate. A site can be a 3rd tier, boring, corporate-owned collection of content that has non-exciting revenue, but that's not dead.
Reddit still has hundreds of millions of active users per month. They may have lost some people, but this many eyeballs has a huge potential for profit.
I would say it goes further than different, I'd say better, as no one is "covering up" anything over here.
Various subreddit moderators getting kicked out, the general mood on reddit, etc. It's also nice to know it's not censored on lemmy...
Discovering Reddit's Nuances on Lemmy - Anyone Else?
An ironic observation - I've been understanding Reddit better here on Lemmy than while actually on Reddit. It's fascinating how this platform, while being an alternative, can offer such deep insights about another.
Has anyone else experienced this paradox? Would love to hear your thoughts.
Taking bets:
- Participating in a competitive event where bathroom breaks are minimal or non-existent, such as a long-distance, multi-day gaming or eSports tournament.
- Attending a religious or spiritual retreat where fasting or avoiding certain bodily functions is part of the practices or rituals.
- Engaging in a survival challenge or a bet where the person has to limit food intake and avoid defecating for a certain period of time.
- Undergoing a specific medical procedure or test that requires limiting food intake and avoiding bowel movements for a few days.
- Participating in a scientific experiment or study where they have to control their diet and bowel movements.
- Partaking in a performance art piece or protest where he's limiting his bodily functions as part of the statement.
- Attending an event (like a music festival or convention) where bathroom facilities are notoriously unclean or inconvenient, and they want to avoid using them as much as possible.
- Embarking on a long journey where bathroom facilities may not be readily available or convenient, such as a cross-country road trip or sailing expedition.
- Participating in a reality TV show or film production where bathroom breaks are limited or inconvenient.
- Engaging in a personal challenge or self-imposed discipline practice related to endurance or minimalism.
I'm curious why this is classified as "losing battle"... seems pretty successful so far to me.
For better or for worse, news outlets care about engagement. "50th boat full of migrants lost this year" won't get many clicks. "Billionaires in trouble under the sea" will. If you think these type of stories are under-reported, feel free to start your own blog or discussion forum.
