Proud of what?

"We used to own slaves but now we can't and still bitter about it"?

It should be illegal to fly confederate flags in the US, like it's illegal to fly Nazi flags in Germany.

If my best friend refused a million dollars to not punch me in the face. He's no longer my best friend.

Hollywood lied to me. Growing up, if I see a gray-haired black judge, I would assume he/she is the most trustworthy person who's wholeheartedly devoted to justice.

Imagine the shock when I heard about Thomas.

Haven't they learn anything from Kodak and Sony from the transition to digital camera?

Kodak, a Fortune 500 company, developed one of the first digital camera but refuse to shift away from traditional film business, leading to their downfall.

Sony manufacture the best mobile camera sensor in the early days of smartphone, but refuse to use it in their own smartphone, purposely make their phone take lower quality picture because they afraid it would hurt DSLR sales.

Too bad those posts are mostly screenshots. I think they only use text-based posts and comments to train the "AI".

When I was a teen, I think pickup looks super cool and would definitely buy one if I could.

Now as a more practical adult, I don't think I'll ever buy a pickup because I have no use for them and there's a lot more downsides to it (higher tax in my country, higher maintenance, bigger footprint, lower fuel efficiency). But I still think they look cool.

cordlesslamp , 1 month ago to Relationship Advice in How should I feel about a dying parent who's worthless?

Oh wow, I'm literally in the same dilemma lately and don't know who to talk to. Your case is exactly like mine, how strange.

My first born is now 5 month old and I love him so much, with all my heart and soul. It makes me realize how easy it is to love your child and how could my parents had treated me so badly.

I got out as soon as I turned 18 and they have no idea why would I do that. So they told everyone how I'm an ungrateful piece of shit that abandon them the first chance I got.

_My parents: Abuse me every day since I could remember.

_Me: GTFO as soon as I could

_My parents: surprised Pikachu face

Never forget the day I ran away, all I got is a bag of clothes and $176 that I secretly saved up because they would took it away if they knew.

When I was little, my mom would constantly remind me how a waste of money I was. How I owe them for every penny they spent on me and I better pay them back ASAP when I'm "able to work".

They would beat me for every little thing, like this one time when my mom yelling out for me from downstairs "where is that piece of shit?" So I answered "Ya?". I was 8 at the time.

Or the time she tell me she wishes that I would got hit by a car and die so she doesn't have to waste any more money on me. I believe I was in 2nd grade at the time.

Or when she misplaced a $10 bill and accused me of stealing it so she beat the shit out of me and starve me for the entire day, then she found the money somewhere she misplaced so I could eat dinner that day.

My dad on the other hand, is not much of an "abusive" one. But he has never done anything to protect me either. He just doesn't really care about me at all.

Growing up, I has never had any toys or videogames or games of any kind. All I got are the most necessities like cheap clothes and enough to eat. And the constant reminder of how I should be eternally grateful for that.

No one would believe me when I sad my mother is a bad person and I hated her. Their first reaction is always skeptical at best, or downright believe I'm a spoiled brat because "all mother are saint".

You must be some kind of genius to decipher that. I wouldn't even consider the image as part of the message.

cordlesslamp , 1 month ago to Lefty Memes in Don't be a tool of the corpos and the state.

I know people who are shoplifting for "fun" or for "the thrill". They don't even care about the items and they definitely don't care about the shop owner. They just do it when they see the chances.
