The blanket and tin of sewing supplies are the only things my grandmother would have had in her home. She had a simple sofa that she covered in quilts she made. She also had a radio, but she never owned a TV or had weird dolls.

I'm Brazilian, so maybe that's why I don't recognize this image.

Had a similar experience with my kid. I'm Latino, but pretty light skinned. My son's mom is Black. I was at the playground with him, and he was 2. I was taking pictures of him walking around when the police show up. They told me somebody called to report a man taking photos of children on the playground. I showed the cops my camera, and they scrolled through the photos and saw they were all pictures of my son. And there were photos of me with him and his mom. That was pretty much the end of it though.

This happens in the US because the US is so diverse. Racism is easy to hide when your nation is monocultural. I'm from Brazil, also a very mixed country. This stuff happens there too. It's also happened to me in the US.

It actually says 'Please be careful with your belongings and valuables.'

Una palabra. (Literally)

Unprotected s*x is free until it costs you a fortune. You're gambling with your future.

You know what's cheaper than s*x? Birth control.

I want to get my two cents in before anyone gets a chance to bleat “but fat is unhealthy.” Yes, we know that being overweight increases the risk of a lot of unhealthy conditions. We also know that overweight and obesity are caused by multiple factors, and that losing weight is difficult, almost impossible for some. Losing weight requires lifestyle changes and can take a very long time. The body positivity movement promotes acceptance of those of us who are less than magazine-approved. This positive attitude is essential to overcoming fatness. It’s long past time for people to stop criticizing others' appearance. Criticism makes the problem worse.

There is something seriously wrong with you.

Revenge is a dish best served cold... in a crunchy cone.

Exactly. And a series premiere isn't a Livestream - you don't lose any content if you just logg in 2 minutes later.

Too soon bro. Not cool. For me it's Norway, but I feel their pain.

Sadly, this has been my experience living in the US. Americans tend to have a very myopic view of the world. And an Internet belief that everything that exists was invented by the United States.
