My job incorrectly thinks I'm Native American, should I tell them?

what difference does it make now? 99% of white americans claim native american ancestry as if we fucked these people into extinction. everyone i know is related to a cherokee or blackfoot princess through their great great great grandparent....i even heard the same story in my family. once i got my dna test results that said "0% native american" i started to wonder exactly how many indian "princesses" there are. if you change it, best case scenario everything stays the same and worst case scenario you get fired for lying on your application. doesnt seem like a good move to rock the boat.

Do you use adblock? Why? Why not?

the argument feels like guilt tripping poor people for not making their masters richer. if you only care about getting paid, I do not give any fucks about your content because it's probably garbage anyway. it seems the only "content" people like this produce are shitty hottakes of them ranting about something they don't understand.

tl;Dr if your content is just a recording of yourself then it's accurate to say I don't give a shit about the content creator in that scenario.

whataboutism is a common tactic for conservatives. instead of using it to condemn an action they use it to excuse it. their double standards have become so apparent that it doesn't trigger any sort of cognitive dissonance when a Democrat is condemned for doing something a Republican already did. any sane person could make the argument "aren't they both bad then?" and it will go completely unheard.

Me waiting for conservatives to hold the Catholic Church accountable for harboring pedophiles

Reply in thread

ill never understand when people use whataboutism to excuse awful behavior instead of condemning it. "well the liberals didnt do anything either!" is such a weird way to support insitutionalized pedophilia networks. we should be crufiying these pedos without any consideration of what party they are in. lets un-normalize conservatives supporting pedos that align with them politically. ive never seen such a group of people get so worked up over touching kids and then completely gloss over it when its one of their guys doing it. a conservative would shit their pants if they thought a liberal had to smell it.

How to get started pirating video games?

all you need to know is how to extract compressed files. if youre familiar with that then installing cracked games will be easy for you. as most have said, fitgirl is a great place to get games because she has been in the game a long time and is considered a credible source. most installers will copy the crack for you but generally the most work you have to do after a pirated game install is copy the crack folder over the files in the game folder, disabled firewall access if it asks, and possibly run as administrator. thats it. if the place youre getting games from is trustworthy youre safe to ignore any anti-virus warnings because generally game cracks can cause false positives.

Article: We failed Amy Winehouse

they're remembered differently because you can't compare a legendary frontman from the 90s to a 1 hit wonder in the 2000s. they are definitely comparable as far as addiction goes but the quality of music? Amy winehouse had like 1 or 2 songs that got popular compared to the dozen or so hit songs that are still played regularly today while I can't remember the last time I heard Amy winehouse played. it has absolutely nothing to do with her being a woman. there are so many amazing female musicians who's music will be remembered with the same nostalgia as nirvana, Amy winehouse will simply never be one of them because she's not that great in my opinion.
