Is this look what men used to find sexy in women?
Well I have some good news if it is.

I think “Arika” could work. Or maybe Awika.
But we someone who has a unique spelling of a common name myself, it sure makes things harder in life.
People say it wrong. Or write it wrong.
I have to spell it out all the time to others if I’m making appointments or something on the phone.
It’s a real pain. Don’t do that to your kids.

Black slavery really wasn’t that long ago either.
1863
163 years.
That’s roughly only 2 lifetimes ago.
Two.
But yeah segregation was 50 years. People are alive today that weren’t allowed to use the same toilets as whites or share drinking fountains. Restaurants wouldn’t serve them.
Sundown towns. Lynchings.
The latter is still occurring.

Have you ever heard of this social experiment that was done a long time ago.
A teacher in 1968, following days after MLK was murdered, decided to teach kids about racism. It ended up becoming a famous experiment about how people who are discriminated against will often do the same back to others. And that we are all equally capable of being taught to discriminate even when we ourselves have faced discrimination and know what it’s like.
Here is the premise. (All kids were white, I believe)
The teacher told the students that Brown color students were smarter than blue eye eye students because the pigment in brown eyes was related to intelligence.
Here is the rest copied from Wikipedia
“Initially, there was resistance among the students in the minority group to the idea that blue-eyed children were better than brown-eyed children. To counter this, Elliott led the children to believe the false premise that melanin was linked to their higher intelligence and learning ability. Shortly thereafter, the initial resistance fell away. Those who were deemed “superior” became arrogant, bossy, and otherwise unpleasant to their “inferior” classmates. Their grades on simple tests improved, and they completed mathematical and reading tasks that had seemed outside their ability before. The “inferior” classmates also transformed – into timid and subservient children who scored more poorly on tests, and even during recess isolated themselves, including those who had previously been dominant in the class. These children’s academic performance suffered, even with tasks that had been simple before.[10]
The next Monday, Elliott reversed the exercise, making the brown-eyed children superior. While the brown-eyed children did taunt the blue-eyed children in ways similar to what had occurred the previous day, Elliott reports it was much less intense. To reflect on the experience, she asked the children to write down what they had learned.[6]”

Here is an in-depth article by PBS on it. www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/…/introduction-2/
Here is a documentary about it , also made by PBS. m.youtube.com/watch?v=1mcCLm_LwpE
It’s a fascinating experiment into human behavior and self reflection.

It’s pretty rare for natural breasts, even on a 20 year old, to look like inflated spherical balloons.
The round breast… yeah that’s all bras and padding. Or implants.
Clothing has been used to press the breast into unnatural shapes for so long, people seem to think that’s what they actually are supposed to look like.

Someone should make a PVP game set in a waffle house.
Will you be a front worker or kitchen staff ?
What skills do each get.
For every 5 hours of play, you level up.
Or will you be the crack head , the karen, the racist, the drunk , or the guy who slaps his gf in public. ?
Random assignment each game.
I’d watch.

Once at a pet store , I reached in the cage to pet a jumbo rat that was sitting out for adoption (cause I love animals) but it bit me. And just happened to hit some main artery in my finger (I didn’t even know bigger ones were in the finger,). I pull my hand back and literally spray blood, 6 feet in diameter around the whole area. It’s on the floor. The cage. The table. The shelf. Like looked like someone got stabbed. And it was just a small puncture bite.
I mean it hurt but I was distracted by all the mess. So I wrap my gushing finger. And try to clean up my blood that’s everywhere cause I didn’t want a minimum wage worker to have to do it.
My bf at the time was a very squeamish guy. I actually saw his lips turn blue at the sight and I thought he was going to faint. (Yeah a grown man).
So I had to drive us both to the ER where I got a tetanus shot and a bandaid. (Not much to do for punctures).
Also my insurance wanted me to sue the pet store but I refused. They called multiple times. Wanted me to say the pet store was liable for the ER visit.
Which certainly would have resulted in someone losing their minimum wage job.
The hospital wanted me to report the animal to have it euthanized. I refused (literally my fault. ). .anywho.
I just remembered all the blood. And it happened so fast.
Lucky it was just a finger and I easily put pressure on it and stopped it pretty fast.
I’ve never put my hand in an unknown animal cage again. 😅

That big artery in the inner thigh. … Yeah you can die pretty fast if it gets severed.

Even in academia. I was shocked to find out it even happens in fields like psychology. The very fields that do the research on gender pay disparity.

It’s from a comic but I can’t find the original.
I also like to pull this joke on my guy friends when I can.
For instance one of my best buddies got me a nice Pyrex cake pan with a lid , for Xmas. and I was like “did you get this for me cause I’m a woman!!”. And he replied
“That’s what you said you wanted!”
I then smiled and said “yes. Thank you. It’s quite nice.”

Yeah they have tried to prosecute women for miscarriages. Basically saying women cause them on purpose.

The right wing conservatives often have these weird paradoxical beliefs. Like Mexicans are lazy but also stealing everyone’s jobs.
They believe women are designed to be baby incubators and are natural caregivers, but we are also naturally baby killers and have to be watched and kept from killing all the babies.
It’s ridiculous.

Yeah maybe. I would just be weary. Those jelly sandals can mess you up in like a half hour. So thin socks might not do the job and you would need to be mindful about how sweaty/wet your feet are.

But yes socks definitely help.

- Comment on Adidas has expanded its 3D printed CLIMACOOL LACED shoe from a limited release to global availability 1 week ago:
When I was a little girl in the early 80s, there was these very common popular sandals that were everywhere. Sometimes they were called “jelly sandals”. They were made out of this semi transparent flexible plastic. They were quite cute. There was 2 main styles. One with a strap with a metal buckle. The other, more like a ballet flat shoe
Now I bring this up because these sandals were the worst shoes that I have ever worn in my life.
Plastic like that, making direct contact with your feet will give you blisters in pretty much every location of your foot that shifts inside the shoe when walking.
I’m talking on top of the toes. Side of the toes. Side of the heel. Back of the heel. On the ball of the foot in at least 2 locations. And whenever else.
Whenever I see the promotion of 3d printed shoes and know what tpu feels like (very close to the jelly sandals) I am reminded of summer pain and blisters. And also of feet getting stuck sometimes from suction from sweat.
I just don’t think 3d printed shoes are going to work out.
Oh gawd they still make jelly sandals. ⬇️
- Comment on How did internet viruses spread before the internet was invented! 1 week ago:
Pop ups.
Yeah it was mostly pop ups and occasionally links in emails.
Pop ups with porn were especially used for this because men are dumb and will click on titties.
People used to share the viruses because the virus would lock their computer and say something like “you must email this to 10 people to get back access”. Or something like that. I forget exactly but that used to be a thing.
Your own family and friends would send you viruses.
