Report: Maybe Bernie Sanders Was Actually Far More Electable Than The Democrat’s War Hawk? in c/main@hexbear.net

Yeah I'm barely reading the comment without snoring. I bet its well written, but I could care less to learn about what a "progressive" is and I have no context to understand when people talk about them. Also, after I stopped being liberal it took me like 2 years to learn what a SocDem is. Both are a dumb mincing of words, and they're both highly effective ways of confusing people who desperately need to learn to abandon liberalism altogether.

As a 2nd-generation *insert minority race* how do you find ways to connect more strongly to your culture? I was born to immigrants and they didn't teach me all there is to know about my culture. in c/askchapo@hexbear.net

I know a little of the language. I would feel so nice and warm and comfortable in my own skin if I knew it fluently.

What common patterns have you noticed in traditional clothing of different ethnicities? in c/askchapo@hexbear.net
[–] HexaSnoot@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Femme people specifically wear scarves specifically because it's hot? Why?

Because too much hot sunshine can suck and scarves can protect your scalp, face, neck, and shoulders.

I wonder if you might be interested in this book Women's work, the first 20,000 years: women, cloth, and society in early times by Elizabeth Wayland Barber... she talks about how textiles, garments etc are key human technologies and I found it a useful way to think about things.

This all sounds very exciting. Once I find a PDF I might check it out.

Reading theory makes me feel manic feelings. I have almost completely abstained from theory for years. How do I get around the issue of my extra high excitement so I can finally get back to reading? in c/askchapo@hexbear.net

Dude you're totally right, it is absolutely a form of the zoomies.

I need it because that's pretty much the only reason I read. Maybe I should try other kinds of stuff. Are there any works by Hegel or Kant that you find enjoyable?

Whenever Contrapoints gives a liberal take it has such big "Yass girl!" energy.

I take edibles and I run

Do you do both at once? That's interesting. Ive never heard of someone doing that. What do you like about it?

Why make them? I kind of know nothing.

I don't know wjat you mean exactly, but i need good smooth storytelling, which is why I love Parenti's essays and speeches so much.

1 page a day feels like too big of a rush of excitement. Even an article as short as a long comment feels like that. I can feel my brain doing huge skateboard tricks.

Got recommendations for podcasts about gemstones? in c/askchapo@hexbear.net

I more want to listen to many podcast episodes in my sleep in hopes that I dream of gems. 🤩

I want to learn Chinese by talking to China's locals. How do I do that online/elsewhere? I tried Red Note, but deleted it because TikTok-like platforms are super bad for me. (hexbear.net)

I'm from the US and can't travel atm.

Extra points if it helps me learn about Chinese culture.

BTW, is anyone else barely able to memorize anything from Duolingo?

How would you describe orientalism? I'm Asian and grew up in the US. I don't really get it, and maybe a lot of discomfort I've felt in my life would make more sense if I could identify when I see it. (hexbear.net)

Feel free to add common myths about the East that you'd like cleared up. Or how you've already cleared it up. It might help me or another reader.

Have any stereotypical fems here gone to India and not gotten SA'd at all on any level? Were you alone? Were you with a stereotypical looking masc? Hearing tourist review stories have made me nervous. (hexbear.net)

I hear from women tourists online that they got their ass grabbed 1 or more times on public transport. (Even times where they're with men.) Thats trauma and I wonder if I could one day go to India as a tourist without gaining trauma. I don't want to be scared of going there.

I still want to go one day, but these reviews mentioning SA scare me.

What are some differences between racially-based culture and culture in general outside of racially-based culture? And why do people say white people have no culture? (hexbear.net)

The first question is adressing the lives of everyone everywhere. But on this topic, I'm also curious about white people, who may feel like they have no racial identity. It is often said the white people have no culture. I feel like I agree that they don't when it comes to racially based things, but I also feel like they can have culture in other ways.

What brand sneakers are longlasting, durable, and can go with everything casual to semi casual(like a summer dress), and are NOT made by child slaves? (hexbear.net)
 

Do they come in wide-toed fits?

It's not necessary, but the more the speakers look like bimbos the better. I love to see confident girly people take down incels.

What are some shows or other forms of media where there's no lesson/moral to learn, you just observe a flow of art and maybe also movement? (hexbear.net)
 

All I can think of is Ed, Edd, and Eddy, but they get old fast to me.

I know about slavery on an individual level, but I don't have much clarity about slavery on an industrial level.

Long covid issue. How do I train my vocal chords so I don't get a sore throat from sneezing loudly? (hexbear.net)
 

My long covid is from a damaged throat. Easily dry. Sometimes I yell-sneeze loudly and it triggers scratchiness.

It's not allergies, it's from stressing my vocal chords.

What's that anime about forest spirits attatching to humans, where everything is very slow and meditational? Most scenes are quieter than or just as quiet as a library. (hexbear.net)

How in the world do people train their dogs to not peepeepoopoo inside a mall or a store? (hexbear.net)
 

Don't most dogs "go" inside a house before they're housetrained? How do you then train them to not "go" in a store or mall without them failing at least a few times?

Also, the mall around my place is HUGE and people stay in there for hours. Do dogowners take bathroom breaks for their dogs outside every two hours? What do you do with your dogs bathroom needs for all that time?
