stop. analyse that text through the lens of its author's intentions and original historical context. okay now take the author out back and kill them dead and analyse that text as though it were published by your mutual yesterday and is in direct conversation with the contemporary discourse that's most relevant to your life. okay now pick your favorite angle of interpretation and come up with the strongest possible argument against it. now imagine that the text is your best friend and that it means you well and that you naturally give it every benefit of the doubt because you're on its side and you want the best for it. now imagine that the text wants you dead and it'll eat you if you don't eat it first. now pretend that you found this text locked away in a cave with no evidence of when or where it came from and you have to divine its meaning solely through its internal coherence and nothing else. okay now address the elephant in the room aspect of the text you've been ignoring because you find it boring or confusing or uncomfortable and become the number one expert on it. now spend forty minutes assigning all the characters dnd classes with at least three sentences of reasoning each. okay now do the cha cha slide.
throughout the late 2000s and early 2010s, our generation was inundated with aave. it eclipsed lolcat as the "funny way to talk." ain't nobody got time fo dat turns into dat boi o shit waddup. this is blatantly not an "aracial" or "gen z" way to talk. it IS black english. not to mention the amount of black reaction images!!
WHY, specifically, is it black peoples' facial expressions that are seen as just so comical or exaggerated? analyze the history of this nation's comedy and tell me why you might be predisposed to thinking of black peoples' faces as just, "more emotive" or exaggeratedly funny than a white or nonblack person's
and throughout those years, 00s-10s, many black bloggers -- victims of the mass staff-led purge (under the cover of them being 'russian' while reichblr still exists) -- they DID tell us it was a problem, DID try to educate people who freak out at the insinuation of 'being racist,' DID argue, DID point out the duplicity and the appropriation and the gross equivalence of african american slang with unintelligence, goofiness, etc. and they were ignored, abused, cancelled, chased off, until being eventually mass deleted by our racist transmisogynistic staff.
we didn't do enough, and the generation after us gen z "kids" didn't stop the trend. using the '-ahh' suffix. rizz. no cap. ate. delulu. it's giving. it's serving. crash out. lock in. aura. tea. main character. bruh. slay. real. keep it 100.
all of the following images are or were popular reaction images! what do they all have in common?
it feels like the effort to categorize slang as AAVE and not 'gen z' or 'gen alpha' slang has really petered out. it feels like we stopped talking about digital blackface in an era where the administration is posting ai-generated videos of black women who speak and act like exaggerated stereotypes and it frustrates me because we all have a responsibility to understand our generation's role in normalizing this type of racist shit for kids today. this needs to be addressed!
Black people will never stop talking about this, but when we are on sites such as Tumblr, where so many of the white people feel that not only are they not racist, but that calling their racist behavior racist is emotional warfare on them, they will make sure to keep Black voices as silenced as possible.
Also, a lot of the Black people who got deleted or run off of the site weren't even accused of any type of Russian anything. A lot of them were just run the fuck off by the white Tumblr base on harassment shit.
Hey friends! If you get diagnosed with sleep apnea and you have health insurance (even shitty health insurance) don't worry! It's a condition that's relatively easy to manage, even if you're poor, and I'll walk you through it.
Pre diagnosis: if you have a neck circumference greater than 16-17 inches, it raises your chances of being diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea. This means that you stop breathing for periods of time during your sleep, resulting in poor sleep quality and over time has the potential for more serious issues. Obesity is a risk factor, but you don't have to be heavy to have sleep apnea. If you sleep with someone, they probably already know if you have sleep apnea (it sounds like snoring with periods of not breathing, and then coughing/choking). If you sleep alone, there are recording apps you can use overnight that highlight any instances of sound for you to listen to in the morning.
Diagnosis: Once you suspect sleep apnea, you can bring it up to your PCP as a concern. They'll refer you to a sleep specialist, and they'll conduct a sleep study. Depending on your insurance, this can be at home or in a lab. If they conduct it at home, they'll send you a small machine attached to two pads that will go on your chest and a finger pulse oximeter. This will collect your data throughout the night about your REM cycle, your heart rate, and your oxygen. (I can't speak for the lab sleep study, but I had no copay for the machine) The specialists will examine the results and then send you a prescription for a CPAP machine, mask, and tubing.
Your insurance will rent out the machine to you for a premium every month. The machine will monitor the amount of time you wear it and send this information back to the specialists and the insurance. You are required to wear it for a minimum amount of time every night and a minimum amount of nights each week. If you fail to meet these requirements, your insurance can deny coverage for the machine, which for most people means they won't be able to afford it and they'll be charged for the full price. If you go on vacation, have an irregular sleep schedule, or have a difficult time adjusting to wearing a mask, these can all contribute to not meeting the minimum hours. The amount that my insurance quoted me for the first 6 months was $1200, and after that amount of the minimum requirements of 6 hours 5 nights a week were met, I would then own the machine.
Don't freak out! You don't have to do all that.
Call the sleep specialist and ask them to send you a hard copy of the prescription for the CPAP machine. They will try to get out of this. My office told me twice that if they sent me the prescription then the insurance wouldn't cover all the supplies I need. I had to be persistent and call back and ask for them to send it again. Once they email you the prescription, buy a second-hand machine off Facebook marketplace or craiglist (you might even be able to find someone offering one for free on a Facebook buy nothing group, or you can make a group post searching for one). It took me a few months of searching to find one I could afford, but there's a good market for them, either from people passing away or upgrading. They retail new for 400-1200, so people can get away selling them for a couple hundred bucks. I lucked out and found an excellent bipap machine, but you don't need a fancy, modern Bluetooth CPAP. Any old working machine will do.
Do not use second hand masks or tubes. These can have gross bacteria. Clean the entire machine with disinfectant, inside and out. Consider replacing the water chamber if it came with one. I bought all of my masks and tubing new on a CPAP supply website, which cost about $100, but they're mine forever. You can find people selling sealed, unused bulk supplies on FB, etc.
CPAP vs BIPAP: a BIPAP is just a slightly fancier version of a CPAP that offers two different air pressures for both inhalation and exhalation. It's okay to wait a little while after getting the prescription until you can find a machine you can afford (you've had untreated sleep apnea this long, you can wait a little longer), but after you get a junker, you can always upgrade to a better one in the future and treat your condition.
Using the machine: look up a manual online for your specific model. Look up a YouTube video for how to plug in your prescription. There's a whole bunch of settings, and options to store the data it collects in a USB/SD card.
Buy distilled water. Don't use tap, bottled, mineral, or spring water.
Different types of masks: there are masks that cover your nose and mouth, masks that cover only your nostrils; different types of headgear that go around your whole head or just your ears, and you might find different types more or less comfortable. The tubing is universal.
It's less loud and less uncomfortable than you think to adjust to. I suggest taking some Benadryl the first night just to get used to sleeping with something on your face. The quality improvement might be so significant that you won't mind the lifestyle adjustments. You can even buy small models of cpaps that are meant for travel. If you don't have hundreds of dollars to throw at insurance, it's better to buy one outright so you own it and no one can take it. You're supposed to replace your tubing/masks every 3 months, but if you take care of your equipment and clean it, you can probably stretch it a little longer.
Feel free to ask/dm/reply if you have any questions! Go forth and sleep better!
This is a really good guide, the only thing I'd add is that you are supposed to replace the water chamber every six months as well, just because over time it becomes harder to get bacteria out of the chamber, and it can get tiny cracks and so on. As with everything else, if you take care of it, you can make it last longer.
Also, the reason that it's important to use distilled water is that it is completely clean. You are not going to stick a brain-eating amoeba up your nose, and you're not going to have as many problems with things growing in the tubes. Do not fuck around with this. At all.
The disinfectant which was recommended for me was simply vinegar -- the acid in the vinegar will kill pretty much anything if you dilute it in some very hot water and soak your tubes, masks, water chamber in it. Then wash it with a plain soap - I use regular-degular blue Dawn - and set it out to air dry on a towel. I hang my tubing over the shower curtain rod so it drains. If you do it when you get up, most everything will be dry by bedtime.
I fucking hated most of the masks until I found the memory foam ones, but there have been recalls on some brands of those, so make sure you are checking recall lists if you're buying bulk stuff so you are sure you're not getting crap offloaded on you that'll have you inhaling memory foam bits. Yikes.
Okay, I guess I had a couple of things to say. But yeah, this is a good guide.

The person who wrote this has almost certainly never been to Japan- if they had, they would know that Japanese restaurants also offer table appetizers in many contexts. Some of them? Mexican restaurants. You can get free tortilla chips when you eat Mexican food in Tokyo Osaka Kobe Kyoto and rural HIMEJI for fuckβs sake. Those are just places where Iβve personally had free tortilla chips in Japan.
This is chat gpt trash prompted to βsound Japaneseβ and itβs based off of racist old movie dialogue. Thereβs zero correlation here to Japanese grammar and how Japanese translates into English or how a native speaker of Japan uses English. Itβs slop. Itβs racist ai slop rehashing Western exceptionalism, fantasizing about a Japanese person being in awe of how great the USA is. Itβs depressing that people fell for this. I know it feels good to think that other people like us, and sometimes they do, but this only works if you assume Japanese people have extremely limited experience and worldview. Itβs mortifying.
If someone other than me would push back against this propaganda, it would be nice.
OP deleted the post, but OOP is a prime example of an alt-right grifter using βpositiveβ stereotypes to stir up hatred against immigrants and other marginalized groups.

Conservative beauty standards are back with a vengeance which means it's especially important to go out this summer with bellies out and bodies unshaved. Also be unapologetically disabled with mobility aids and wearable medical devices and stim toys and ear defenders and all that stuff. You need it. People need to see it. Everyone needs to be reminded that life is unquestioningly more enjoyable when you're not living inside an arbitrary set of rules created by people who are offended by all the wrong things.
picturing a scenario where so many people have shorted tech stocks in anticipation of an ai bust that the economy will collapse if the economy doesnt collapse
There has been a growing trend in permaculture called "food forests," where you plant a bunch of native edible plants (and plants that shelter essential wildlife to keep the edible plants healthy) in layered ways that increase productivity and protect each other from extremes in weather as climate change ramps up. There was a study in Japan that produced the Miyazaki Method for planning a food forest. It seems now that, while this is extremely effective in the temperate parts of Japan and ecosystems similar to the one the test was done in, this may not be universally true, especially in places that don't naturally sustain forests.
Still, I think the concept can be expanded to produce things like "food scrublands," "food prairies," "food marshes," etc. The biggest hurdle in my opinion is that many colonial settlers are unfamiliar with the native food that grows or once grew in their area, making the idea of a native food ecosystem daunting to those who hold the power to actually implement these ideas.
So, learn your native flora. Learn what edible plants are/were in your area and try to bring them back. Look up recipes that involve them. I promise you there is a native blogger who is happily sharing their family recipes. Give them some support while you're there. Maybe some day in the future we'll go to the local food forest to harvest produce instead of the grocery store to buy it.
