I mean — immigrants and people of color, especially balck women, have been shouting at us for generations that we are a racist country.

We started as a racist country, we inspired other countries to be racist (al la Jim Crow inspiring Hitler).

We’ve ALWAYS been this racist, it was just that for a little while people were a bit more quiet about it.

I just think white people are really good at pretending bad things aren’t happening all around them, just as long as it’s not to them.

    Woke up super late because I couldn’t sleep last night, started a new loaf of garlic Parmesan sourdough bread, played Stardew Valley for a bit, and then watched the latest episode of Lanterns (which was excellent!).

    Overall not a bad day, and I enjoyed it. I just wish I could do a normal day like this without the constant background noise of stress and anxiety (Θ︹Θ)

    I’m not sure where you are exactly but you’d be shocked. When I was last in New York I actually took an “Urban Foraging Tour”. They showed us these wild weeds that grow on stoops that apparently make a great tea.

    I don’t forage as a hobby so obviously this is all just experience from one two hour tour I took like five years ago but still!

    I’ve worked for multiple different financial institutions. I’ve been on the banker side and the consumer side of the industry and I can assure you banks absolutely do have the ability to send your money back instantly.

    While there are certain federal and international laws that could impact transfer times, this is rare and not something your average Joe would run into.

    Most banks want to hold onto your money for as long as possible because that’s how they earn their money. And banks aren’t the only ones who do this. Companies will hold out on issuing refunds for the same reason.

    It’s sort of the perfect way to show the penny savings example I guess. Because yeah, the interested earned is pennies, but when you have a million pennies earning another million pennies… it adds up.

    [EDITED: to changed an autocorrect from warned to earned]

    Frats= bois who’s parents are rich, rich little bois become sycophantic, narcissistic, adult man children with zero empathy. And then you mix all those bois together and you get a sort of weird homoerotic lord of the flies situation.
