9·2 months agoi hate that this is appropriate for the sub, couldn’t we wait like… 2 days op?
i have a shameful admission to make: i have never played cities skylines (either version) and i just pulled a logo from google to represent what i see in this community 🫣
my apologies go out to the cities skylines fanbase and their families at this time
20·3 months agoeveryone is kind of giving snarky answers with a couple helpful tidbits in between but the true answer is:
trump is polling well. current polling indicates that trump is doing good enough at what is expected of him, which at the moment is simply running a campaign that will beat the democratic candidate.
people only really start calling for dropping out en masse when polls start to significantly falter because it’s an indication that the candidate is no longer running a competitive campaign.

oops you called these people stupid. NEXT!❤️
I am with you. Again though as I mentioned the CliffsNotes tend to he very poor in quality, so I feel this tool can act as a supplement to aid in the user’s education if free or low cost tools are all they can afford. :)
Well put. If anything, an aspiring English learner using this tool will likely feel inspired by these stories to the point that they return to them and read them normally later on :)
Fuck it downvote me for having the wrong opinion but I am okay with this existing. Looking at the full feature list it has additional vocabulary learning tools and the reading level is scalable which might make this a hugely helpful tool for new or very young language learners.
CliffsNotes already exists, yes, but summaries are different from paraphrasing, and it is very hit or miss with the accuracy of its summaries which usually have terrible grammar and writing quality anyway, making it awful for most English learners’ applications.
Don’t like it? Don’t download it.
yes twas a /joke :)
thats how my brain subconsciously interpreted the two guys before the background registered consciously
some russians are naked and are taking a shower out of a pipe
rest of russians wear adidas track suits and light a cigarette

wikipedia has fairly fleshed out histories:

not sure why you are getting downvoted.

such stereotypes absolutely exist to dehumanize. the other comment about red foods and juneteenth, while not factually false, fully misses the point of OPs question to an embarrassing degree.
edit: i guess to nitpick rather than “a meal imposed by oppressors” you should have said “two foods associated with stereotypes imposed by oppressors.” just to be fair.
I don’t know why, but this post has been like a mind virus to me, trying to intuit out the first ones using context clues. For those who don’t want to zoom in on pixels or google extensively, here:
Term Kind Description ??? ??? - Could be 5% sure this is “field hand” ??? - About 30% sure this might be “servants” Colored Slur A more acceptable form now in the modern term “person of color/POC” Welfare Queens Very Derogatory Pejorative Term disproportionately associated with Black, single mothers, stereotyping them as intentionally committing welfare fraud Urban Pejorative More of a euphemism, not so derogatory except in fairly specific contexts PC Satirical Pejorative (Politically Correct); interesting because even among leftists it was mostly a form of self-satire before being adopted as a pejorative by conservatives; in modern use isn’t so much of a direct derogatory as a downplaying of discriminatory circumstances SJW Pejorative (Social Justice Warrior); the least racially charged item in this list, just a pejorative for a progressive or leftist who is vocal Woke Vernacular / Pejorative African American Vernacular English for alertness to racial prejudice and discrimination; co-opted by conservatives as a pejorative yet still largely used by all sides of the political spectrum despite generally having moved beyond the concept of race only CRT Technical (Critical Race Theory); academic field considering racism to be systemic; despite being an entire field since the ‘60s, conservatives began seeking to ban the instruction of CRT in 2020 DEI Technical (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion); linked values used to define organizational frameworks that better represent historically discriminated groups including those across race and gender; has been called into blame by conservatives for several tragedies, the blatantly racist implication being that people of color are being hired despite being ill-equipped to perform
edit i don’t think it’s even close to any of these, see this comment for my closer guesses: https://lemmy.cafe/comment/6369471
i can’t find the original with my reverse image search abilities but i asked chatgpt to produce similar terms to sate those with morbid curiosity:
These terms have been used or co-opted in racially or politically charged contexts. Here are some additional examples:
- Affirmative Action
- Inner City
- Illegal Alien
- Thug
- Anchor Baby
- Diversity Hire
- Model Minority
- Low-Information Voters
- Globalist
- Ghetto
- Illegal Immigrant
- Third World
- Radical
- Cultural Marxism
These terms can be problematic when used to stereotype or marginalize certain groups based on race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status.
fiduciary duty requires that directors of corporations protect the interests of shareholders’ investments—including maximizing profits where reasonable and within the bounds of the law.
even if technically illegal on paper (which i’m not sure it is), so long as there is no enforcement or accountability, t-mobile and similar entities have literally no reason do do better. they are literally just holding up their end of the law.
in other words, this unfair treatment isn’t just one of many unfortunate flukes. it is literally baked into the system as a requirement.
counterpoint, learn nondestructive editing and you can use any image tool you want that supports it. IMO this is a far nore useful skill than investing time into one app that can’t even do nondestructive🥲
naww lol even that shitty AI-gen all eyes on rafah got more shares than this will
