Cope with failure the healthy way, my fellow scientists ;)

She calls it "Comfort Food", I call it "Just food"

This says in case of encounter with a bear, "take out your clothes and lay face down on the ground"...

Am I the only one who all of the sudden has a ton of "Sponsored" posts aggressively advertising "Digital Yuan" on Shitbook? 🤔

Football is just a sport. Jesus Christ people are pathetic.

Don't really know how I stumbled upon this gem but that's a fucking lost meme. However, the meme hilariousness aside, I couldn't help but notice how articulate and respectful the diallogue between these people is, specially given the fact that during those times, the racial tensions were infinitely more evident that nowadays. Sure, the debate was heated at times, but you can't expect it not to be when you mix people with such divergent views. This kind of diallogue wouldn't be possible to bring to the public as it would cause outrage and disbelief. We are so polarised nowadays. Imagine saying "marrying a white man is like a suicide because they eat pork and are dirty" or "negroes operate on a much more primitive level" in public lol.

Also, notice how they are aware of their own prejudices, whereas nowadays, everyone thinks they are on the peak of objectivity and everyone else is irrational for not sharing their ideologicsl clarity. People would rather defend the flaws of their ideology by digging a rabbit hole of inconsistencies rather than admitting their biases.

Shout-out to the Nigerian dude who seems very well-read and articulate and the South African girl even though she is kind of arrogant. I highly doubt both of their factual statementd about S. African history, but I don't have enough knowledge about the topic so I wouldn't take a position. Lol at the "lost child" of Israel whom "is not negro, it's just his face was burnt by the sun" ahahah
