(While you're probably right that in this case it's that white kids "can't bring themselves to say the n word", I think the point trying to be made is "it's actually a good thing for white people to take pains to never say the n word")

My secret pro tip is that any time you’re singing along to music and they say the n word, you can say neighbor. It works 100% of the time, and it worked for Mr Rogers

Crossposting from the r/relationships thread

AITA for telling my kids that memes are going to ruin their lives?

Throwaway because I don't really use reddit, my husband told me I should post here because he's not sure I did the right thing. I (60F) recently had a harsh conversation with my two daughters (25F) and (19F) that I think might've gone too far. Both of my kids had to move back in with myself and their father due to the pandemic. My oldest lost her job acting in New York City and my youngest's medical program at her school shut down in person classes. Despite the age difference, they've always been incredibly close. During quarantine, they have adapted some weird habits and become quite obsessed with the tiktok app. This never bothered me, they were always laughing and getting along with each other even if my husband and I could never follow along.

But during these last few weeks, they just roam about the house yelling these strange references to each other, almost having full conversations made out of complete nonsense internet jargon. Some of them are harmless like singing that ratatouille musical and doing little dances in the mirror together but sometimes they yell "Hey chad, NICE COCK!" at each other from across the house. None of this makes sense and it's becoming more frequent and incessant. I asked one of them to snap green beans for dinner this week and they both immediately yelled "A BAKED BEAN" over each other for a minute. They wiggle their voices and go "mom, I threw up" randomly, they yell "I got b*tches off the Zan!", one of them will say "YOU CAN'T MAKE A WIFE OUT OF A TRUCK" and the other honks. One will score a point on a video game and the other will say "that was mad stonks". None of it makes sense! They do this kind of thing so frequently and in such perfect synchronism that they can talk like this for hours and make no sense but be totally content. There are so many more weird things they yell and I'm worried they are lessening their actual social skills and are becoming completely looney in quarantine.

So the other day it was happening so incessantly that I said to them "you guys know you can't be acting like this out in the real world" and they initially laughed it off but I told them that no one is going to take them seriously in classes or in a job interview and they had better not act like this in public. I don't want them to get laughed at or not be able to maintain relationships because they won't stop acting weird and making no sense all the time. So I told them to cut all this meme crap before it ruins their lives and job prospects. They're full adults for Pete's sake! I know it was hard for them to move back home but I feel like they've both regressed back to this weird childish state?? They were upset with me and went off to their bedrooms to lay in bed and watch videos again. They haven't come down to talk to me since. AITA?

Lola and Walk on the Wild Side are both heartfelt unironic songs about the joys of loving pre-op trans women.

At least Lou Reed was 100% queer. Don't know about the Davies bros but I'm just going to assume Lola is actually ahead of its time as it sounds.

The kinks have a song about how it’s okay for burly, heterosexual men to be gender non conforming crossdressers

Written in the 1970s

I used to work at a fried chicken restaurant and without a lie, potato chips straight from the fryer with lashings of chicken salt are the best food Ive ever eaten.

I'm still chasing that high and nothing else quite compares.

Everyone who worked there also all put on heaps on weight because turns out standing around the chip warmer eating fried chips all shift adds a poo poo load of calories to your day.

If only there was a way to deep fry things at home. Maybe one day somebody will invent the technology

Fun fact, the tea act actually lowered the taxes on British imported tea. It was unpopular because it was intended to undercut the prices of illegally smuggled tea.

Everybody talking about post apocalyptic fiction and nobody mentions A Canticle for Leibowitz? I’m ashamed of you all.

It’s set after a nuclear war and follows society as it rebuilds itself. Focuses a lot on the catholic church’s role as a preserver, and gatekeeper, to knowledge. It’s set in three major sections. The first is right after the apocalypse, where there’s a wave of anti intellectualism and an order of monks sets out to preserve, but not understand, old writings. The second section is set during the Renaissance, where electricity is eventually rediscovered. The main conflict there is that a monk is traveling to give some rediscovered blueprints to the pope, as well as a gift of an illuminated blueprint that he had spent years making. He’s robbed by mutant bandits on the way, but manages to talk them into only stealing the illuminated blueprint and leaving him with the ancient blueprints. The third section is set during the new modern era, where society has just set off the nukes again, and discusses whether or not it’s ethical to perform assisted suicide on people who have received lethal doses of radiation.

It’s a good book, you should all check it out. Bit of a slow read, but if you’re looking for post apocalypse fiction that actually focuses on rebuilding things, you’ll like it

I'm sure it's just some PETA 'taking anything from an animal involves clubbing them to death' lies to make their organization look good. I'm sure I saw one about that but for cow milk.

To be fair, cow milk involves keeping dairy cows perpetually pregnant, which is sort of its own problem

Very problematic.

No, it's an actual thing

Are Dairy Cows Constantly Pregnant?

A cow has to give birth to produce milk.

https://www.thefarmerswifee.com/are-dairy-cows-constantly-pregnant/

Further on in the article it says that they wait between 45-60 days to get the cow pregnant again. This seems like a rich person hobby farm, I assume factory farms don't give them such a long rest period.
