Comment on Montgomery dock brawl memes were part an internal conversation on race in ~life

I think it's a little wild and self-important in the first place to have expectations like "I want everyone on the internet to do X".
But also let's talk about how it's literally impossible to know the author's intent of posting the image with certainty, even after scouring every social media post ever created. I can't be convinced that it's possible to read someone's mind by browsing a third party's social media feed.

Comment on Do you look up words while reading a novel? in ~books

I really wish there were more sidewalks and crosswalks around where I live to make this sort of thing more safe, but also I guarantee you I would consider the risk of walking across a highway in all dark clothing at night (ya know, where cars go flying by) and would only cross when and where it is safe 🤷. Maybe it is victim blaming, but sometimes if you do some extremely stupid then you will die. I wish it weren't so.
