On my end, my parents did wrong me insofar as they raised me as conservatives do, treating me and my siblings more like a household project than as people. Their love isn't just superficial, but totally directed toward the version of me they invented in their heads before I was ever born who would fit neatly into a Third Reich propaganda poster of a nuclear family.

As a side note when I first read your post I read "parents" as "partners" and it worked until I hit "blood relation".

Athena of the power loom, who turns artisans into bugs. Athena, the Queen of Plunder, whose ships carry loot to the Global North. Athena of mass media, who whispers lies into the ears of her victims. Athena, wife of Mammon who feeds him the universe.

idk how this works. Which variant is right for me and how do I make it be on my computer?

Update: I have a GeForce graphics card. Is it worth dealing with "some trouble" to have a computer without copilot?

Update: I think I have it working, thanks everyone!

In this adaptation of a 1967 short story of the same name, a sixteen year old boy in 1985 forms a psychic connection with a Puritan girl of the same age in 1700. Over the course of 40 minutes, two characters who never appear on screen together share every moment of their lives with each other, giving advice and emotional support, forming an intimate friendship and a little more.

If this had been written today, I would say it was obviously about online friendships, especially the way it can be more vulnerable with people we don't know in real life and the way that those of us stuck in conservative places look up to people who live in places where the grass is greener.

Maybe it's a real uptick, maybe they always did and now I'm just noticing it. I apparently look somewhat ambiguous, because I've had people ask if I'm Asian, Lebanese, or Israeli, all unprompted. I'm none of these. I'm quarter Hispanic. I never felt Hispanic growing up, owed in large part to my upbringing by conservative parents. Raised Baptist, never learned Spanish until high school. I can't and don't claim a Hispanic experience.

So what do I do when a white customer calls me 'señor'?

How do I respond when I'm on a first date with a woman and she asks about an immigrant experience I don't have?

When my white mom complains that I look like a cholo, do I treat that as just racism or racism against me, personally?

When I look at my cousins who can reasonably claim to be Hispanic, I feel some anxiety, like I'm missing something.

Just a bunch of weird insecurity. Hell, even the insecurity about it feels white.

The worst thing liberals can imagine is having a real job

Worse than having teeth. Imagine having two giant teeth, but they're built in there even more firmly so it sucks even worse if something goes wrong, and also they extend like half a foot or more outside your face. And you're supposed to use it to eat? Fucking awful. Look at videos of toucans trying to eat. They've spent their whole lives practicing and it still looks awkward, like they're doing their best not to fuck it up

Fleeing the country for four decades is famously a thing you do when you're politically in-touch and have broad popular support
