I was in South Africa in the early 2000’s for work. They still had the “Whites only” signage on some bathrooms. Not being white, I didn’t know what to do. My white colleagues thought I was being dumb and mansplained the end of Apartheid but I refused to go in there. I grew up a yellow kid in Savannah, GA… I know what values racist old white men hang onto.

They just aren't taking it down? Is that some southern heritage type shit for them? Jfc

My initial thought was I was in one of THOSE neighborhoods… but growing up in the Deep South as a Yeller Feller, I default to malice before oversight.

If I wasn’t on a work permit in a foreign county, 100%.

My mom saw a "Colored bathroom" when she was very little on a trip to the big city and was under the impression that it was just a regular bathroom but colorfully painted.

This is going to be the quietest superbowl ever between the half time rightoid tantrum and the fact that nobody gives a shit about the seahawks and patriots.

I care in so far as that if the Seahawks win, I get a free pizza.

Edit: Seahawks win! Free pizza time! 😃

Oh, really?

Go Seahawks!!!

No idea where they're from, but I like birds and we gotta get you this pizza!

The only reason I know is a psychologist I follow on YouTube (channel name Psychology in Seattle) is a Seahawks fan

I didn’t know who was playing nor have I cared much about either team, but this is now a Seahawks family until Kolanaki gets their pizza.

I'm with you! I know nothing about any of this.

I mean, I know the Superbowl is soonish, and that it's the final of the gridiron season. But I don't know who the two teams are, or why there's controversy about the halftime show, or anything.

But you get that pizza!

The half time controversy is because Bad Bunny is doing it. He's a Puerto Rican musician. He looks Latino, but is an American born citizen, which the Trump administration took as an intentional slight by the NFL

[–] Monument@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 4 days ago

He also skipped touring the U.S. in 2025, due to concerns that his concerts / fans would be targeted by ICE.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 1 points 4 days ago

Ah I see. Thanks!

[–] chetradley@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Finally I have something to root for. Get this person a free pizza!

Some of us grew up in the PNW and hated the Sea Chickens before it was cool.

I just want the Patriots to lose. Another Patriots dynasty... Please no.

Its kinda funny no one remembers when the snowflake meme came along around 2000 or so it was intended to portray republicans and mainly boomers. They were the first people I thought of for years when you called someone a snowflake. Sometime later after having been called that enough they started using it on others. Now everyone is using equally. We all know snowflakes/republicans can't stand things being equal.

Other memes everyone uses these day like fake news came about around the same times. Fake news was born as Faux news aka Fox News. In both cases the side using it the most these days are the ones the expression was coined for. This makes me smile often.

I prefer "genetically modified snowflakes" or at the very least "paper chain cutout snowflakes". Real snowflakes are unique and pretty despite the fact you can't see their true shape without help. Those othef type of snowflakes are similar to each other with some minor defects that separate them from being exact copies.

They are called losers
