Australia straight up just doesn’t have a breaking scene comparable to the rest of the world, ESPECIALLY for women. She is genuinely the best they had to offer, and she was made fun of by her own country BEFORE the olympics had even taken place.
She’s a cultural studies professor at Macquarie University and her doctoral thesis was titled “Deterritorializing Gender in Sydney's Breakdancing Scene: A B-girl's Experience of B-boying”. She’s genuinely spent a large portion of her life studying break dancing as an artistic form of cultural expression.
She’s also now the “bad breakdancing meme girl” and boy howdy that just bums me out.
If I was told this by someone in private I would at least be sympathetic, but blasting your children in a public forum is like yelling in walmart. I just can’t view you as any semblance of a good person if you’re publically taking the “eternal victim” stance.
Like, the expected outcome for this rube is that an echo chamber shits on his kids. Gee I wonder why his kids don’t like him, must be mental illness.
EVERYBODY had the burger mii back in the day. there was also a classic gray alien and a comical looking michael jackson that practically everyone with an internet connection had downloaded from the mii channel.
not science BUT, smeyer basically did that with twilight. i’m pretty sure every book has at least some mention of the music she found/listened to while writing them, either in the dedication or the afterword.
that series is actually really interesting as an insight into a new author getting a feel for her craft while also blowing the fuck up in popularity.
Hilarious to see my county is an orange dot in a large swath of green. We’ve got just high enough a population that you REALLY notice there’s nothing to do.
abusive ex, whom taught me what panic attacks are and how to handle them, yelled at me a lot while i was having one at her house with no ride home. then she wordlessly got up and left for an hour during which i called my fucking mom like “i don’t know what’s happening please come get me”. ex shows up a little before my ride gets there and tells me that what had happened was i started to get worked up, so she left to give me some space. i just wanted to get home so i didn’t push back. then the next week she retold me the story as “you freaked out over nothing and i had to be supportive” and outright demanded that i apologize.
i broke up with her over it, but i recently learned she told all our mutual friends a bizzaro-world reversed version of the story wherein i stranded myself at her house just so i could give her a panic attack and then leave with her car. there’s loads of evidence as to what really happened, but i’m an introvert and didn’t play defense hard enough in the moment, so i did just lose that entire friendgroup.
probably for the best though. lifelong friends of manipulators tend to not be fantastic folks to rely on anyways lmao
i always just hang shit somewhere it won’t impede airflow and let it be. the ONE time i bought a prebuilt system was the only time i’ve had a computer with the cables remotely “managed”.
unfortunately one of the zip ties they used impeded the fan on the cpu cooler, but only when the case was closed. it made this buzzing noise that i couldn’t track down for months, and then the motherboard failed. and then the replacement motherboard failed.
i went back to building my own computers again after that.
I still don’t you’re making a cogent argument.
Everyone can see you responding to a single sentence of a whole point, don’t even pretend that you didn’t.
I still don’t baby murder is good
stick that one on a t-shirt babe, you’re onto something
find a different strawman
y’all are really doing a lot to further the divide between parties in the US by playing these ridiculous characters.
really tripling down on not understanding the situation
Birth control and abortion are 1:1 comparisons when we’re talking about nonviable pregnancies and fetuses that were raped into someone. Either they’re both murder or neither one is, you don’t get to pick and choose your morals just because you choose not to understand the ACTUAL ramifications.
Do you think folks who don’t want kids just magically turn into good parents when they’re forced to keep them? What do you think happens to all these babies that are being “saved”? You know that places that restrict abortion have higher teenage pregnancy right? And anywhere with higher teenage pregnancy also trends toward higher poverty, crime, untimely death, lower education, etc.
What’s your end game? Where do you think this goes?
Tell me you’re a man without telling me you’re a man.
A damn good trade if you ask me.
What do you call this, praise? It’s certainly not respect.
ayyyy lifelong nebraska resident here! you can absolutely tell if you ever drive through here, shit’s ALL farmland.
