I don't normally have feelings either way on the Black Lives Matter movement--generally, I see the point--but this, I thought, was reprehensible. You don't get to hijack other minorities' events. You just don't. That's wrong.

You just don't. That's wrong. Event? That was a tragedy. The fact that they did that pissed me off. The only reason BLM is the bane of my existence is because they call themselves "victims" and "Minorities" when none of that is true anymore. I'm African American myself and honestly, me being black just ticks me off more.

I'm African American myself and honestly, me being black just ticks me off more. Indeed it is annoying. A couple of my friends are trying to distance themselves from this whole subject only because they're too busy being productive and not give a crap. Where do all these protesters have the time to even organize events like this? I'm a minority myself, and I would hate it if anyone would pander to me - I know that I can equal everyone else in my own terms without the need of big daddy government, which takes $2000 from someone else to give a welfare recipient (ie convenient pets that vote the very people that keeps them poor and dependent) $1000. People are forgetting that the ultimate minority is the individual. I always felt people that pander or feel the need to "defend" minorities are just as racist, or perhaps even more racist for even thinking that they're so above us that we need their help.

I'm a minority too.
How about people just stop being racist and stop shooting other ppl tbh wouldn't that be so much easier. But then again, hate and ignorance is more powerful.
I was at PRIDE the other day and the BLM had a sit in during the parade and stopped it for awhile. edit: LMAO I WAS AT THAT PARADE I JUST READ THE ARTICLE I remember asking "but why at PRIDE....they're oppressed too". Terrible, terrible, terrible place to sit in. Like honestly. Taking away someone else's celebration and belittle their own oppression is just wrong.
I remember I was at a stage when they announced it too. I was also distracted by the old naked guy fighting with a police officer.
edit: apparently it was people from the LGBT & BLM community that wanted more black LGBT individuals to be represented and heard. It makes more sense now.
There are always extremists so honestly, at this point? I'm not about to hate an entire movement or w/e. I won't pick out one person/group just to accuse the rest. It's like when people assume feminism as a whole is "man hating" when it's clearly not, while "radicals" have louder voices. Or whatever.
Asking for peace.....sounds nice at this point though. It won't stop. I don't see how any of this will stop.
Reminds me of my racist prof. Fun times. I duno how much I cried .
This also reminds me of my racist classmates when they thought it was 100% perfectly possible to BECOME another race and they also justified black face.
Idiots.
Ofc we "minorities" spoke up.
Ignorance & hate will kill and continue to kill.

I'm starting an in-depth combo guide with Zestiria, while doing my Visual Novel project, on top of school which is ALOT.
I know I'm killing myself but its worth it..

This is going to make me sound like an ungrateful female dog, but...
My mother is super-organized and does everything around the household, from cooking to cleaning to laundry to god knows what else. moving back home recently has been nice in that I don't have to occupy myself with some of those things. don't get me wrong; I appreciate this part.
but for the love of god, do not organize my activities and my things. I am a slob. I don't care about organization. I will leave my things in my room in a disarray; I'll leave packing until the morning of. This is how I operate, and I just. do. not. care. if my clothes are jumbled in my drawer or if I let my cat sleep, fur and all, on my bag. She gets mad at me for unfolded clothes, but I don't care if they're folded in the first place?? She knows I don't care, she female doges about how I don't care, so please let me have my jumbled clothes in peace and both of us will be happy.
and she keeps trying to foist her organizational strategies on me. most recently, getting mad at me that I don't use a toiletry bag and just throw my sh*t in with the rest of my clothes. she would organize it that way, but I don't care and I will throw my toothpaste in where I want. And dammit, I don't need to pack my suitcase the night before; I will pack it the day of and I will be just fine. she would pack the night before, but I am not her, and I just don't worry about those kinds of things.
I know she means the best, but it bugs me that she's getting annoyed with me for not taking her advice about being more organized when I just don't give a sh*t about being organized and never have. ultimately, I get my sh*t done as I need to get my sh*t done. it's not her way, but it is my way, and it works.

I used to be a slob. It's funny the small things that changed me over time. For example, in High School since Seniors only had to take 4 classes, several opted for a binder instead of a backpack. Looking back on it, I probably perceived it as a sort-of status symbol to not wear a backpack, so my senior year I naturally discarded mine. Here's the thing: my backpacks were dimensions into which things went to die. Books, papers, games, ANYTHING that got into that cluster got wrecked. Stoked to finally have a binder, I (stupidly?) grabbed the cheapest 1-inch and called it good.
Fun fact: 1-inch binders don't work well for 4 subjects unless you keep RIGHT on top of papers. Since I refused to go back to a backpack and was too cheap to pick up a bigger binder, it more or less forced organisation. Nowadays I go to university carrying nothing but a 3-subject notebook and my kindle. I do own a backpack for the days I bring my laptop, but 99% of the time I pass on the extra weight.
That said, I VERY much have my own system of organising things. My books, games, papers, etc. are not alphabetised nor are they sorted by date: they are arranged by a logic that makes sense to me and nobody else. In short, I sympathise with you 100%: Don't. Touch. My. Things.

I have been mad about this since 10 am, so bah. We changed part of our data collection process a few months ago, so instead of being totally automated, there's some human data manipulation. I get that there will be some hiccups initially, and I'm fine with that, but we keep having issues where the data isn't properly restructured into the correct format, the data doesn't get ingested, and then I hear from client service that clients have noticed and are wondering where the data is. I finally sent a note to the responsible parties, very nicely pointing out that this has been a repeated problem, do we know exactly what the issue is in generating the xml, and is there anything my team can do to help? I know it's a data quality issue of people not double-checking the file; the process isn't rocket science. The correct answer isn't to tell me that it can't be helped. the correct answer is, "I'm sorry we're having data quality issues, and we'll do a better job of quality control going forward." I would be less annoyed if he at least apologized or acknowledged it's messing up our product delivery. I mean, I am definitely not the queen of detail either; I make mistakes all the time and have been called out on it by clients more than once, but I always apologize for the inconvenience I've caused.
