Umm.... Let's just say I've seen my fair share.

Are they Fight the Power types? Maybe stoners? Or...are they wearing it because "Tee hee, I like the colors"?

I'm fine with it, for the most part. Can't stop white people from wearing other peoples clothing styles even if it's tied to cultural identity. So long as it doesn't end up with them suddenly leaning to west African religions, and tying wearing a dashiki and west African dance rituals. I once went to a zen center and they had a festival and there were white women dressed geisha doing a traditional Japanese dance including tea ceremony while some dude beat a giant taiko drum. It had nothing to do with Zen or Buddhism. There was only one Asian person in that room and he was Vietnamese. When white people treat culture as some weird cosplay fetish or something to replace their homogeneous culture identity, that's when it becomes a problem.

So a simple dashiki ain't much of an issue. It's not like white people haven't worn dashiki's before either. Hippies wore them.

Speaking of dashiki's and culture, what I love about the dashiki the most is its story of cultural exchange between Black Americans and west African's.

I know that wasn't why you made the post, so please don't be offended Cindi.

Offended? You don't know me well. It was given some guys would swoon. And I mean, who can blame y'all? They're beautiful. It was expected.
 
Best Man Holiday sucked.

They have children, and the children only ever watch tv. They never spend time with them, they're just window dressing for the story. When their mom is dying of fucking cancer, dude tells his kids to LEAVE THE ROOM as she lays on her goddamn deathbed.

That movie was straight trash.

My late self just saw some of those running man challenges and the first thing that came to mind was "This is some stuff The New Day will do with the other wrestlers.".

And I nearly fell out of my seat laughing at the thought of Kevin Owens and AJ Styles doing that. Then Cena joining in and ruin it for everyone.

Cool.

The reason i was apologising was because, I didn't want you to think that every time you try to make an interesting and informative posts, i'm only capable of responding with horny buffoonery.

STOP SHITTING ON MY MOTHER'S HEADSTONE
Going back and playing Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, which I never finished for some reason.

Can someone tell me why the Dawn Brigade is just ass? Not even getting into character stuff, as playable units they're awful. Like half of the units you get to control in that opening chapter are liabilities, and half of the ones that AREN'T are pre-promoted units that suck up all the XP.

I'm only two or three missions into the Crimea part, and it already feels way better.

Cool.

It's alright, Shy. Everybody knows you aren't Slayven.

On that Michael Strahan, Kelly Ripa beef:

This nigga really stepped into the studio and was like "Hold up yall, I need a lineup"
lmao.

Is this what the rich life is like? Let me stop work so I can get a hair cut and pedicure in the middle of the office with the assasins, I mean goons advisors with me on the side on some ANBU shit.

I'm saving this for February...


^^ ABOUT TO GET THESE JOKES.

If you look closely you can see her "natural" hair underneath the wig.

Shit look someone wearing a pompadour with a speck of their natural fighting to get through.

Is it me or does her wig cover about 1/2 her hair?
Her hair looks like two energy beams fighting against each other trying to win as the planet, in this case her head, deals with the disastrous outcomes.

Add on..

I met a white African in a bar 3/4 of the way drunk, allegedly, in a bar in Beijing and we partied our asses off and Rachel is not him with her lack of respect for her natural hair ass.

Why can't you run the world? Fuck!
Right. ? I ask myself that question everyday. LOL.

People wouldn't want me in charge, because for the most part you'd consider me to be a Democratic socialist. And people don't like that.
It's alright, Shy. Everybody knows you aren't Slayven.
LOL. You guys are bad.
Too good for it
You right..you right..
You gents are too lovely.
 
Yep, it's just gossip being created to make this non story more interesting. I understand Kelly being upset she didn't get enough notice about her coworker leaving but if the company said Michael couldn't say anything, that's where the non story ends IMO. All this other stuff is grocery store gossip paper tier.

Nah, if you tight with someone you can figure out a way to let them know what the deal is, even if you're under some kind of confidentiality arrangement. Ripa and Strahan got a ton of sexual tension going on between them though, so who knows whats really good.
 
Thinking about that GAP ad...

It amuses me when white racists go on about miscegenation (see responses to that GAP ad). But when you ask many white people about their background, you get "my mother's people are from Croatia and my father's people are Czech" or "I'm Irish, English, and German on my mom's side and Irish and Italian on my dad's side", etc, etc, etc. Some will just straight up say, "I'm a mutt." On a certain level, many "pure" white folks are products of miscegenation. They should just relax and appreciate diversity. Not to mention the fact that most people will marry and mate within their "race". You're not going to be run over by some vast future majority of people who look like my son*.

I saw that Black twitter had a civil war today over Malia Obama choosing a PWI over a HBCU
I cant really hate since both her parents are Harvard alumni, so why wouldnt she go there.

Pretty much. Pretty insensitive of them

Cool.

Oh. Lol Well it's nice you're conscious of it. Don't worry about it? You're not Slayven.

Tailor resumes for the places you're applying to. Don't go ham and apply everywhere you see. Also, when you're creating these resumes make sure to use some of the verbiage that are within their job descriptions. Don't bite it too hard and make sure it applies to you of course but do not be afraid to do this. Recruiting software looks for key words.

Thanks.

I'm really going to have to look at the job description and rewrite my resume as needed.

Not enough eye rolls in the world for this shit. All these clowns are thinking about is the fame she could bring to the colleges/are being selfish as hell.

Nah, if you tight with someone you can figure out a way to let them know what the deal is, even if you're under some kind of confidentiality arrangement. Ripa and Strahan got a ton of sexual tension going on between them though, so who knows whats really good.

What I mean is, Kelly getting mad at Michael over him not telling her about him leaving is the only noteworthy thing about this whole situation/I can understand the discussions around that event only (ex: you expressing your opinion on how Michael could have handled it). Everything else being created around this event is gossip blog food. Michael and Kelly dating, Michael being hard to work with, etc...

Shy won't steal your girl.
But he will give her just the tip so that you don't feel bad about yourself when she returns.
