we just call it train-wreck-syndrome.

I’m not too attached to my glorious family clan so I don’t really care about my last name. Maybe some people want to show some awesome familiar bond. I won’t, the only part of my family I like is the part that doesn’t share my last name, anyway.

I don’t know why her whiteness has to be emphasized at all. As if it depended on your race if you lie about rape or not.

an it’s such a BAD photoshop, jeez. Okay maybe the laypeople don’t see it at once - don’t worry folks, nobody is an expert at everything - but to photoshop her arm into a straight line with a straight elbow in an 90° angle? People aren’t cubic, we don’t work like that.

several music stars have shown up in their videos as members of the RAF or IRA etc. etc.

For days I have been watching my social media feeds go nuts about this video and as a non US-American I can only sit back and cratch my head. It’s... just a fucking music video. I didn’t realize that music videos are for some people and not for others. I didn’t realize as a white person I am supposed to need some kind…

just so you know he isn’t baraku, we want to address the ladies here!

JANE, who is definitely too professional to care about wearing anything else than a pajama that day, reads through all those star-worthy comments and just after having thrown a graceful fit for justice after reading the even more horrible casting-calls and decides that one whiskey just isn’t enough. She sips it with…

Do you think people will, at some point, be able to differentiate between “mocking black people make-up” and “cosplaying a black character make-up”?

We don’t even consider the Bavarians German. The Bavarians also don’t want to be part of Germany. We only keep them because they are the most rich Bundesland.

that’s very dependent on where you are in Germany. I’m from the Ruhrgebiet area, where you talk openly and warmly (though loudly, which some consider rude) to everyone and talking to strangers at the supermarket is super-normal, as is hitting up a conversation with people just standing in your way in the pedestrian…

From my experiences in China, it’s mostly “you are not the kind of being that is anywhere close to being considered for romance.” it’s a bit weird. It’s good for doing business and actually I didn’t experience a lot of the casual racism I’m used to from the European setting (I was in the middle-upper class of work,…

If you fly Chinese, nobody is going to wear any damn shoes. And not at the bathroom, too (unfortunately). However it IS useful when your seat neighbor can sleep upside down his seat.

don’t forget the Important People who just NEED to read their physical newspaper which stretches over two seats.

so while I’m not a size zero, I’m still average and keep on my own seat, thanks. It was quite a spacy plane for a two-seat-each-row model. Yet that wasn’t enough for Mr. Shyamalan-look-alike. My pure, non-fashion-model existence was so annoying to him that he had to inform the flight attendant (and most of the plane)…

Yes, yes it is. For most of history it’s like calling someone a “cripple”. You don’t want to be associated with a leper and sure as hell don’t want to have one in your family, it’s an embarrassment and sure as hell you don’t want to be called a leper. Patients with leprosy in more advanced medical dictionary were…

I’m not tired of slave movies, I’m just tired of the way they are made now. I just think that they should focus more on actual history instead of torture porn (and I think many parts of them are exactly that). What about all those smart people who got out of their situation because of their wits, tactics and even…

Remember Kate Moss? She was 14 when she modeled _bare breasted_, They let a 14 year old run without any covering over a run-way with thousands of people leeching over her. And she was not the only one.

well, I could almost have said “thank you for clarifying since your post could be read two-ways” but then you had to throw in the ad hominem,.

yeah, because what really makes me feel safe is when my fellow traffic users have migraines, that surely enhances their driving capabilities...
