Tumblr’s “walking on eggshells” and “one strike, you’re out” mentality is really really immature.
Reblog if ya agree.
Another unpopular opinion:
The “You can apologize, beg for forgiveness, and change your ways all you want but it won’t change a thing cause you’re still horrible vile trash that deserves to die a fiery death” mentality is really harmful, scary, disgusting, and will probably get someone killed, be it by someone else’s hand or their own
yet another unpopular opinion: the ‘unproblematic fav’ mentality is really bad because you’re putting an individual up on a pedestal and treating them like a deity of sorts and forgetting that they too are human beings and make mistakes.
Another unpopular opinion: Not every mistake is the Worst Thing Ever. Sometimes people make small mistakes, and sometimes ignorance is a small mistake, and they do not need to grovel and beg and apologize perfectly because in the scheme of things it was a small mistake that didn’t even seriously hurt anyone, outside of tumblr’s performative moral outrage being offended.
I literally just had this conversation on FB with a new black.
^^
To people that think being “racist against whites” is a thing….
I completely disagree with this. You can’t tell me black people can’t be racist when we’re actually extremely racist. By saying that black people can’t be racist, it’s implied that under no circumstances, anything that I do isn’t racist. If I was to call a middle eastern man a terrorist and pull off his turban, if he’s wearing one, claiming that there’s a bomb under it simply because he’s middle eastern, I’m not racist because I’m black. If I ask an Asian acquaintance of mine to help me on some math because he’s Asian (remember guys, Asians are great at math), I’m not racist cuz I’m black. If I hide all my valuable shit because some Hispanics came around(Hispanics are stereotypically thieves) or even ride up on a group of Hispanics and ask them how much it would be to fix my roof, I’m not racist cuz I’m black. Nigga please, black people are racist as fuck.
I actually agree with the comment just above mine. Black people can be racist. Any race can be racist to other races, even their own. I’ve heart light skin black people insult black people that are darker than them, and even heard a black guy calling an Indian boy a Paki, which is an extremely racist term. A lot of black people are racist towards the white race also. Racism is back and forth. Racism is prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race. Any race can have that. Black people get a lot of stick just living in this world… I get that… I’ve been through it. but just look how many people back away from muslims/ someone who wears a turban and gets pulled over at the airport after 9/11.
Dear POC…
((Nope, any human can be racist, period.
Also, yeah I’m whiter than a milk bottle in a snowstorm, but let me tell you something, I was called “cracker” at such a young age, I thought they were talking about the crackers we would eat at snack time! My substitute history teacher made all of the white kids apologize to all the other kids for our race, as if we had ever whipped anyone in our twelve years of life! I grew up contemplating suicide because I was told my skin, my ancestry, the things I can’t even change made me permanently evil!
No child should have to endure that level of self hatred and self shame, no matter their race! Now, with toxic ideas like white privilege, more white children are suffering as I have than ever before. I had a kid aged 5 come to me crying and saying they didn’t want to be white anymore. Why should any child have to feel that?! Why?! How is that justified?! It isn’t!
I deserve to live just as much as all of you, even if I’m white. I shouldn’t have to apologise for a crime I never even committed. You can cry racism all you want, but you’re the one berating and labelling me based on my race at the end of it all!
Also, saying POC can’t be racist is racist. It’s saying they aren’t capable of doing something wrong, it is denying they have a quality of humanity that makes them equal to you and me! Let POC take responsibility for their own actions like anyone else, don’t excuse their actions based on their race or the history of their race. In the end they have choice and free will. Don’t treat them like helpless victims of the world, and justify their every move. It’s the worst kind of bigotry one can display in my opinion.))
No. No, you know what? NO. This is NOT how medicine works. NOT. AT. ALL.
First of why is anybody asking a doc stuff like this over iMessage? How can you even get a wrong number like this??? So no.
Secondly no. You can’t just google symptoms and hope the right thing will come out of it. Especially like this, it is an incredible coincidence that the person googling it got the right answer in the end. In the worst case you get answers for everything from “its an infection” to “it’s cancer” from google.
And do you know why? because symptoms are stuff like “pain” or “a red
rash” and it’s not like that “pain plus rash plus random symptom a
equals specific sickness XY” No it’s not like that. It’s more like “this
sickness MAY cause a number of the following list of symptoms” as well
as “this symptom MAY appear in following sicknesses”
To find the
right diagnosis you gotta combine a lot more than the knowledge of
symptoms. You need the result of your examination, you need blood tests,
pictures, a whole lot of tests. Not just to confirm your theory but
also to prove that it isn’t something else. Pain in the chest could just be from a pulled muscle. It could also be an upset stomach, the onset on an pulmonary infection or an heart attack. And you GOTTA PROVE that it isn’t one of the serve ones that could lead to death.
So just googling symptoms is like the most bullshit way to get to an diagnosis, let alone to get to the treatment, like that is another whole box. (because who would have thought, there are different options for each sickness)
And what the fuck is up with that “it took 3h for trained medical professionals for figure out what took you 3 minutes”? NO THIS IS BULLSHIT. The person googling stuff didn’t figure it out. They gave an guess that happened to be correct.
But you know what the trained medical professionals did? They figures it out. They tested this shit, asked a lot of questions, they examined the patient, did maybe a arteriography and a duplex sonography of the leg to find that there was an blockage of an arterial vessel. They might have done some blood tests and went on to search why there was a blockage, what kind of it and THEN decided that it was the best to put in the stent. They needed these 3 hours to figure out if it was an blockage or a leak of the vessel or something entirely else. They needed the time to figure out if that person even could have the OP, if there were contraindications for this procedure or if there was a better option for this case. And most likely there were other patients they had to care for at the same time too so yeah.
Trained medical professionals figure stuff out. They do the work on the patient.
Some random person googling symptoms are making guesses with the internet.
I want anyone who reads this comment to know that your life matters. ALL LIFE MATTERS. Even if you think that no one loves you, I can assure you, someone does. You may not know this person very well, you may have lost contact with this person, you may have fought with this person, but they DO STILL CARE. I CARE. It breaks my heart to think about how many people ponder the thought of committing suicide, and I cry when I think about how many people actually go through with it. I may not know you, but God does. And I can tell you, with ALL OF MY BEING, that God loves you. The creator of the Universe loves you. Even if you’re gay, even if you’re trans, even if you’re depressed. If you don’t believe in God, that’s fine. But know that you are cared for and loved. My father attempted suicide when I was 8, and I still struggle with the thought of, “I might have lost him.” Spend time with your loved ones. Don’t be afraid to ask for reassurance. Talk your feelings out. I’ve been depressed, and I know it’s a cold, lonely, degrading experience. TALK WITH YOUR LOVED ONES. And if you truly feel like you have no one to consult, try to meet new people. You are undoubtedly an interesting person. You are not ugly. You are not boring. You are not a waste of space. You are beautiful. You are intriguing. You are precious. If you feel like you can’t talk to new people, then please, I beg of you. Call a suicide hot-line, find a support group, or find a good church. I cannot stress this enough. Seek help. Suicide is a thought sparked by the feeling of depression. Depression is usually sparked by a traumatic event or a feeling of solitude/unimportance. These feelings are rooted in loneliness, and even abandonment. YOU NEED AN OUTSIDE SOURCE TO HELP YOU THROUGH IT. Never feel like you are troubling someone by talking to them about these feelings. You are worth every second of their time. You are a beautiful creation, and there is only one of you. There will only ever be, ONE, YOU. People do love you, even if it doesn’t feel like it. And things will get better, even if you don’t see how. Please, I beg of you. Think about this.
Love you.
(A comment I left on Markiplier’s let’s play of “Don’t Take This Risk”. If you do go to watch the video, be warned that it covers very dark themes.)
I don’t mean to impose a personal favour on you guys, but I really would like to ask that everyonewho follows me reblog this.
I don’t think I made it very clear but last month I was sexually assaulted by someone who I thought was my friend (I don’t want to talk about it don’t ask), and it’s… really fucked with my head.
Had I known this a month ago I would have been able to get away.
So, essentially, I’m really pleading with you to reblog this so everyone who follows you doesn’t get stuck in the same position I was with no way out.
I mean again I don’t want the point of this to be my sob story or whatever but if you could reblog this it would seriously mean a lot
and im asking to all of my followers who see this post in your dashboard to please press play to this video, you never know when this is gonna be
useful, PLEASE DON’T IGNORE IT.
This is one of the first moves I was taught in Krav Maga, and it is one of the most effective.
It took me about a half hour to get down with practice, but once you get it, it’s an intuitive movement.
