How are they saying it problematically?

one guy’s reasoning for being pro-lifted ban and pro-allowing gay leaders was that there is no research to show that children being exposed to gay men will make them gay

so like he was okay with it but only because gay men can’t “make” children gay, which sounds to me like he’s still implying that being gay is a bad thing, a thing you don’t want for your kids

another guy just kept referring to gay men as “the gays.”  he also used the term “the blacks” :/

#this is right up there with that one time #when mal left the ship and he was like listen…if i’m not back by a certain time… #and you expect him to say go on without me #but he’s like you get the fuck down here and save my ass do you understand

the next song ended and I heard the gay man say to the really gross guy who’s been spewing homophobic bs about morals this whole time “YOU DON’T HAVE A MONOPOLY ON MORALITY”

5 men on the news are debating the whole should-gay-men-and-boys-be-allowed-in-the-boy-scouts issue and only one of them is gay

some of the guys are like “this should totally not be an issue and people should be included regardless of sexuality” but they’re saying it in uh…really bad and problematic ways and it made me really mad so I’m loudly listening to music DEEP INSIDE MY EARS

ugh though the song ended as I was scrambling to start the next song I heard this guy refer to the boy scouts of america’s “moral code” and then said that forcing them to allow gay men would be like forcing an abortion clinic to hire a pro-life advocate I’m so done shoot me onto the moon please

A Bronx bus company is offering tours billed as a “a ride through a real New York City ‘GHETTO,’” the New York Post reports.

The company, Real Bronx Tours, has taken largely white foreign tourists around the Bronx. The tour guide was caught mocking the Bronx by Post reporter Candice Giove.

Three times a week, Real Bronx Tours takes riders — mainly white Europeans and Australians — on a trip that includes stops at food-pantry lines and a “pickpocket” park.

“Last week, on the first stop of the $45 tour, guide Lynn Battaglia, from Pittsburgh, pointed out a housing project. She then mocked the Grand Concourse, modeled after a Parisian boulevard,” reports Giove.“‘Do you feel like we’re on the Champs-Elysées?’ she teased a couple from Paris.”

The tour also included a drive near a food pantry at a church. Battaglia wondered out loud, “I don’t know what that line’s about, but every Wednesday we see it. We see them go in with empty carts, and we see them come out with carts full.

The tour guide warned of the dangers of going to a park in the Bronx and also gave inaccurate information about the origin of the word “pig” to describe a police officer. While Battaglia claimed the word came from the Bronx, in reality it originated in London.

The Bronx borough president harshly criticized the guide and the tour.

The guide is “the biggest fool on the planet,” said Ruben Diaz, the borough president. “To have foreigners come and gawk at a long line of people who are less fortunate than they are and to make money off of that and to view them as they are some sort of entertainment is pretty disgusting.” [emphasis mine]

This is a total diss to my hometown. Ugh the Bronx is many things, but there is beauty there…and I’m happy I spent a good chunk of my childhood there.

It’s irritating to see these dumb ass tourists come to my city and mock it for their enjoyment and someone is getting paid to be a racist/classist asshole.

They’re taking a tour of the projects like it’s a zoo. Like it’s a fucking exhibit. SMH.

And this ladies and gents is why almost everyone hates/doesnt trust white people. You see people who are misfortunate,and poor and marginalized and you dehumanize them even more by treating them like animals in a freaking petting zoo.This is white supremacy,this is classism, this is racism.This isnt ok.

Good fucking god

16-Year-Old Egyptian Scientist Finds Way to Turn Plastic Waste Into $78 Million of Biofuel

What Azza proposes is to break down the plastic polymers found in drinks bottles and general waste and turn them into biofuel feedstock. (This is the bulk raw material that generally used for producing biofuel.) It should be noted that this is not a particularly new idea, but what makes Azza stand out from the crowd is the catalyst that she is proposing. She says that she has found a high-yield catalyst called aluminosilicate, that will break down plastic waste and also produce gaseous products like methane, propane and ethane, which can then be converted into ethanol.

5. Is there a situation where you caved into peer pressure and regretted it?
actually nothing really comes to mind?  I think people know me as a doormat so they will sometimes try to force me to do something I’m not comfortable with, but I put my foot down and eventually they give up.  it’s really annoying because 1. taking advantage of someone who you know doesn’t like to upset people is really shitty and 2. everything gets really awkward because once I say no people are like “???” and then act like I’ve ruined their fun when I’ve never tried to stop them from doing whatever, just stop them from involving me in it

13. Who last slept in your bed besides you?
ahhhh I don’t know it’s been a long time since anyone would have been in my bed for any reason

18. When did you last consume something that had peanut butter?
prolly like a week ago when I did that thing where I take peanut butter and put it in a bowl and then take jelly and mix it in 8D

33. When was the last time you went apple picking?
