No, it doesn't ignore that. Analysing the social construct of race shows that, in most cases, white people are treated better than people of colour.

I never "excused" the behaviours in my initial reply, I explained them. But we know why it happens, and the decades of racism that people of colour faced (and still do) contributed to it. The best way to solve the problem is to adress it, not to ignore it.

If a black person does something bad because of this social construct, we would adress it by trying to prevent the conditions that make someone do this. Better education, social safety nets and sensitization helps a bunch.

The same goes for a white person. If they do something bad becauwe of this social construct, we also adress it. We can educate them by explaining why what they did had racist undertones, or, in this case, to not be one of the not marginalised people who talk over someone who is marginalised in an antagonistic way. Be compationate, stop playing the devil's advocate all the time and just listen.

Poiting out the injustice going on between races isn't racist. That's like saying that if you tell someone that they are being rude to you (and they are), that you're being rude by pointing that out.

Empircally, race doesn't matter, but we made it matter in our society. Just look up what a social construct means.

I don't know how, but it works now! I actually turned off anti-aliasing in hopes of fixing it, but I wont dawn on to this for too long.

Thank you very much!

I installed gnu-free-fonts, then noto fonts packages but it didn't work

Edit: It works now. Maybe it had to do with these fonts. Thank you!

No it's disabled

I will keep using the new reeflux just to try and figure out what the hell Nintendo thought we were supposed to play like in this kit.

That's not how social contructs work. Money is a social construct, yet people talk about it and need it to live. Language is a social construct but it has a huge impact on communication. And we acknowledge that all these constructs are real and keep affecting us.

The problem with race isn't just that it's a social construct, but the fact that it's a social construct used to make a hierarchy out of arbitrary traits. It's still maintained and keeps affecting people.

Therefore the only way to address the consequences of that construct is by looking at certain issues through its lenses.

For example, if we would look at poverty in marginalised groups without taking into account that construct, the conclusions would be that these marginalised groups are poor because they "made poor decisions" and deserved it.

However, if we take it into account, we can acknowledge the fact that the discrimination that marginalised groups face, aswell as their family background (ex: slavery) contributes a lot to the reasons as too why they are poor than people that aren't marginalised.

It shouldn't have been a race issue, but because of how race keeps affecting these issues, it is. So we address it that way.

Not an acid, but maybe francium?

Yeah but the title is Rockman X: Dive

Protoman is not in Megaman X

Heteronormativity is when everyone assumes that everyone else is straight by default. It also normalises behaviors that are considered "straight".

Toxic heteronormativity is when someone's heteronormative views makes them act in a toxic way (ex: "if my son is gay, I'll kick him out", or stuff like "A guy must like having sex else he isn't normal")

So no, it's not mocking straight people for being straight, but mocking the silly behaviours that come from people taking the stereotypical role off husband and wife way too far.

Hope that explains it better :)

Great! I was also thinking of joining that team!

Strawberry lost.

I am now going to sulk for a while (T^T)

Splatoon 3. Maybe once strawberry wins, people will understand that it's just better than plain vanilla or whatever mint choco is supposed to be X)

Welp time to practice a bunch. Thanks a lot! ❤️

I actually used a reference for the pose, but I may have done some mistakes in the anatomy when trying to replicate it 😅. Is it the legs by any chance? I think I see a mistake there now.

I don't know why I haven't thought about joining a group foe people with chronic illness. I can't find anyone to realate to and my family always diminishes my pain, so I felt so alone.

I think it's a great idea and would like to join :D.

How do I make this less blurry?

also here's the mastodon post for a slightly higher quality image: https://mstdn.ca/@binette/110704142786720781

Power, and we won by a landslide!

Guess we were too powerfull ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I have to admit I would've been more terrified if the cavern wasn't nammed "Nutty Putty"

The ice cream one? it didn't start yet.

But I won the Power vs Wisdom vs Courage one at least :D

Splatoon 3

I guess the colours wanted to join in in the anarchy (゜-゜)(。_。)

What a terrible day to have eyes ears

Thank you for the advice! I will try this aswell

Ok, I think I understand. I just sorta assumed that's how it worked.

Thank you!

I understand. I think I lack self-discipline, because I don't do things that I know I won't like. I just thought that I would maybe feel happier after eating 3 meals a day for a week, but now that I think about it, maybe it's just to not feel bad later, right?

Do you have any tips to get self-discipline, or do I have to change the way I feel about responsibilities? If it's the latter, how do I go about it?

Thank you very much!

One of my favorite posts lmao

I also sometimes get overstimulated. I'm not sure if what I do to calm down is the right thing to do, but I usually excuse myself and try to find a quiet remote place with not many people in (or best case scenario, nobody).

These places are usually my room, toilets, the school's psychiatrists room or other rooms like that, etc.

I just stay there until I feel better and calm down. I'm not sure yet if people consider someone asking to leave in the middle of something rude or if they would understand.

Disconnect standoff 👀

I thought strawberry would be the most popular...

Am I that out of touch ;-; ?

I am a nerd, but I wish I was serious 😔

"Carbon monoxide alarm? What are you talking about, Carbon isn't real! 🤣"

"The gentleman right here seems very stern, I cannot contain my surprise."

I don't know what to say...

Increadibly awesome work. Thank you!

I hope Waluigi finaly gets added in this one.

Please Nintendo 🥺

Idk for me I don't have to remember anything. I just have to put an alarm on my phone and when it vibrates, I check it and it tells me where to go.

I also turn off all notifications on my phone except the calendar app because it would be annoying if I would check my phone and it wasn't an event that I had to attend, but that's just my opinion

Exactly! I think that the solution to this issue is to ask more questions on Lemmy. If more people ask, we may be able to get more information without having to type "reddit" after our questions X)

I use the calendar that's built in my phone to remind me of my school schedules (where I need to go and when, I can never remeber that).

Other than that, I use a bullet journal. Not an app, but allows me to remeber some events and plan out schedules. There are bullet journal apps, but I prefer pen and paper.
