How does one know if a derogatory term or phrase is reclaimed?
  • You don't.

    As much as we might like to say terms can be reclaimed the judge of that is the listener... you need to comprehend how all the people you're talking to or who hear your words repeated will feel about it - just avoid derogatory terms.

    If there was any object in your life that was cursed, what would it be?
  • Just to clarify something... having a full bag doesn't mean it'll explode in flames or anything like that (normally at least) - it just means your vacuum won't vacuum... there's no place for the dirt to go so the vacuum just lifts the dirt and spreads it across your floor.

    You might as well just stop vacuuming.

    Quotes from my friend
  • It took me twenty years since learning I have ADHD to come to the realization that while I'm really fucking good at some shit I really suck at others and the "You're just being lazy" feeling is just bullshit that I can regret.

    I help my coworkers do shit I'm great at - and lean on them for help when I need it... and I've never gotten any complaints that I'm not pulling my own share.

    Calls for J.D. Vance to resign after he admits that he 'created' pet-eating story about immigrants
  • Friend, it's really not worth it. You can cut out family members that insist on drama but otherwise you can just keep radio silence on topics that aren't mutually interesting.

    People can change their minds but it isn't ever anyone outside forcing that change... significant changes always come from internal realizations.

    Just enjoy your life and keep your sanity - I'm sorry you were saddled with a family deeply entrenched in the MAGA crazy.

    The debate exposed how comfortable America is with hating immigrants
  • No it fucking didn't... it exposed how our two party system forces us to choose between two shitty choices... often times the Democrats have better policy positions but immigration isn't one of those times.

    Trump Repeats Debunked Conspiracy Theory Harris Wore Audio Earrings During Debate
  • The real scoop is that Trump himself wore a bluetooth communication device throughout the debate - the tell tale signs of subtle vibrations have been confirmed by independent experts - I've seen talk of this before on Lemmy but it seems like MSM have been suppressing this story... yet another case of conservative bias.

    It's been credibly pointed out elsewhere that Trump pulled a Hans Neimann

    Air Canada urges government to intervene as labor dispute with pilots escalates

  • Just a sanity check here but... yall ever been mid conversation with someone and confused that they've forgotten a thing you talked about... until you realize that previous conversation took place entirely in your head?
