In light of recent events
‘bread is bad for you’ ‘rice is bad for you’ sorry im not subscribing to the idea that staple grains that have been integral to cultures for centuries are evil. i love you carbs
When I was a child and visited my grandma in her village, there was a task I hated to do - picking up the fallen unripe apples and pears in her garden. It was boring, and the sun always was a little too bright, but every day my grandma asked me to do so. What was the point? She fed these fallen fruits to her cows, telling me that 'milk will be sweeter.'
Maybe, there was truth here, but not the whole.
The more significant thing was that she couldn't stand to leave food to spoil. Even tiny and sour unripe apples.
How could she, the woman who survived Holodomor in her childhood and the famine of 1946-1947 in her late adolescence? The woman who counted grams of bread to share with her mother and watched as her neighbors starved to death?
And now, when I read news about the destroyed harvest, I remember her keenly. Once I thought that our generation had to heal this trauma, but instead, it deepened and prolonged further.
I simply wish russians to burn in hell for every single grain they destroy now and then.
"The trannies should be able to piss in whatever toilet they want and change their bodies however they want. Why is it my business if some chick has a dick or a guy has a pie? I'm not a trannie or a fag so I don't care, just give 'em the medicine they need."
"This is an LGBT safe space. Of COURSE I fully support individuals who identify as transgender and their right to self-determination! I just think that transitioning is a very serious choice and should be heavily regulated. And there could be a lot of harm in exposing cis children to such topics, so we should be really careful about when it is appropriate to mention trans issues or have too much trans visibility."
One of the above statements is Problematic and the other is slightly annoying. If we disagree on which is which then working together for a better future is going to get really fucking difficult.
Or water fountains, public washrooms, outdoors tables, etc, etc
A note to younger users or anyone who might need it:
-Advance Paycheck Loans are a SCAM
-Rent-a-Center and rent-to-own stores are a SCAM
-The lottery is a SCAM
All of these business target low-income neighborhoods and prey on those who need money the most. They are traps. None of them will benefit you.
