They sell it as being “part of a community” and normies absolutely have no concept of what’s going on. The coin might as well be an NFT to them.

“Hear me out” is kind of a joke thing you say when you’re attracted to someone or something that sounds out of pocket, like being attracted to a despicable character in a TV show or someone that is not attractive to most, like an elderly fairy tale witch. People like Jordan Peterson think fat or even just non-thin women are in that category, but they aren’t unattractive to normal people. So they’ll say “hear me out” but the person is actually by most standards attractive already.

I don’t really enjoy giving or receiving, but I will do it if my sex partner wants it. Apparently it helps some people relax their sphincter(s). I wish I enjoyed receiving as much as people sound like they do when I do it.

Public health messaging is beneficial propaganda, as one example.

That article is translated from Chinese into not only English, but like 15 other languages, so I wouldn’t take People’s Daily’s repeated use of the word as an endorsement from somebody with full understanding of the word “ethnic” including all racial connotations and baggage in American English. It is probable that the word they translated it from doesn’t have the same baggage, especially because they list Han as one of the ethnic styles she draws from, and Han is the majority ethnic group of China.

I don’t think the word ethnic is in itself problematic. The problem lies in otherizing non-white cultures by lumping them together as ethnic. I rarely hear the word ethnic used to describe French or English culture. Maybe German, although that’s an interesting case considering German used to be an otherized, non-white race in the US.

The abstract of this paper describes it better than I can, but Whiteness is implicitly seen as normal, default, and idealized while Blackness is lumped together “over there”. And white people benefit from this, but often are either unaware of it or don’t want to be. Anyway, read that essay summary because it’s really informative.

Bottom line is, if you mean a particular culture, just say that specifically rather than dropping it into the bucket that contains every culture that isn’t white. Because generalizing such a diverse array of non-white cultures as “ethnic” and another diverse array of white-skinned cultures as “normal” is one of the ways white supremacy is propagated.

Going along to get along wins your district pork barrel projects and grants, which help you get re-elected. But it also results in only incremental changes. This is how leadership pacifies political outliers.

They also added ai summaries to livestream chats.

Regular eighth note + 8th rest at the end of phrases would sound way better than staccato.

Brainard is facing an additional charge of witness intimidation, while 18-year-old Carroll was charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon after allegedly admitting to slamming the victim’s head in the car door.

How did I not notice how magical cloudy nights with snow on the ground are sooner? Apparently the light (pollution) just repeatedly bounces up and down from ground to the sky?

There is a place in heaven for all therapists and medical workers who charge sliding scale.

That’s a lot of overtime! A well-run state would force him to delegate more.

I wonder if it’s because your brain doesn’t recreate inner ear senses for dreams? The moment I have a kinesthetic requirement, I am suddenly completely uncoordinated. Like the classic inability to run away from a pursuer.
