The white man’s burden is also used referentially to call out people who do things like travel to poor countries to build houses even though they have far less building experience than locals and the money they paid to get there would have gone much further, had it simply been donated in the form of building materials.
I don’t know how RFK Jr. is using it, but it almost certainly makes no sense.
Edit: oh, voluntourism! I knew there was a term for it
Sounds like it’s universal advice for your goal qualities. I’ve been told multiple times by many different people to aim to be the least intelligent or skilled person in the room, so I can learn better.
It’s sad that these people who aren’t desperate or in need just want money enough for wealth to be their most desired quality.
I just blocked ani.social
That won’t work if you do want some anime content, but I don’t get any moe communities anymore
Russia famously only cooperates with friends when it comes to space exploration.
Okay, wow. His mom asked him not to because she was worried about him, he obviously had to back out.
/uj I actually think the world would be better if more people listened to their moms before fighting people (and I agree that the fight would not have gone well for musk), but I don’t think that fits his worldview very well, and I do think he was using it as an excuse
I don’t normally pick on people’s grammar, but I’m a little surprised that the Independent’s headline says “which” and not “whom.”
The only one that’s physically repulsive to imagine though. It would be so sticky
Most of the time, I recognize people fondly, too!
How do they not realize how fucking dumb they look? Dude’s got iron on racism tits and a sassy pose doing a flag dance.
They’ll get good, expensive attorneys to defend themselves and they’ll believe until the last second that that will be enough.
I thought they weren’t making political endorsements anymore…
I don’t disagree with any of that, except that it’s way easier to break a hip (especially if you’re a woman who’s given birth in the previous few years) than most people realize. We’re generally really good at walking when we’re younger, so it’s not as common to fall (especially not without catching yourself and minimizing the damage), but a fall onto ice or stone at the wrong angle could damage a lot of 30 and 40 year olds’ pelvises.
I was very stupid and playing Pokémon go while drunk on a wet, mossy cobblestone road at 29, and I fell and broke my arm and eye socket. I lift weights and am generally strong and healthy, but it was just a bad angle. It took drunkenness, distraction, and a slippery and uneven surface to get me to fall without catching myself, but once I did, it’s not hard to do damage.
Edit: I will grant you: drunk Pokémon players do not show the level of judgment that I want from elected officials, but walking to work on an icy sidewalk if it’s your only transportation option is not an error of judgment and it’s more dangerous than people realize.
Yeah, it’s still impactful, I just also got curious about the number of doctors in the US and figured it was silly to look it up and not share.
Yeah, there’s about a million, so this is ~1.5%
I’ve never realized how smarmy Cindy (? I had no idea i knew more names than just Jan) looks in this. It’s honestly pretty accurate for siblings, but damn does it raise my younger sister ire.
I think it would be the people who died or gave birth that day who would be pretty conclusive and immediate evidence for people, but that wouldn’t apply for those who are disconnected from the rest of the world.
WOW. He just wears the uniform and marches to the beat because he might be persecuted otherwise. It’s totally different, even though it’s only noticeable if you can literally read his mind. Next you’ll say those nine people sitting at a table with a nazi are nazis.
Don’t you dare take Bernie from the US. I’m sorry, we need him.
Which CA?
Honestly, good for you for realizing young. I was around 20 when a coworker got annoyed about a company that sends a pair of shoes to people in need for every pair purchased and a lightbulb went off in my head.
