Please help. Any little bit helps me pay off my medical debt.
I'm kind of glad to hear that everyone does this. Because it means it isn't colonizer bullshit, it's what everyone does. It's just people discovering new things. Everyone goes:
"Oh hey these people have their own style of [language A's word for thing. Say, what do you call it?"
"Oh it's [language B's word for thing]."
"Got it, it's [language B's word for thing] variety [language A's word for thing]"
added to which it is LITERALLY JUST LINGUISTIC SHORTHAND for
[item] the way [culture] makes it.
If you don’t want sliced bread, you want bread the way Eastern Indians make it you ask for Roti, not bread. Because Roti is bread THE WAY [EASTERN] INDIANS MAKE IT. Like fuck, it’s not that complicated a concept.
OF COURSE it’s not colonizer bullshit! It’s just linguistic shorthand!

I have a suggestion for high-speed rail.
amtrak-official answered:
Is that a fucking Jet Engine?
@theamazingontos that's worse, you do see how that's worse?
We want high speed rail but reject any creative direction on it. Smh.
That is not just creative direction, that's welding a fucking jet engine onto a train. Who on earth greenlit that monstrosity??
Wait til you hear about the fastest train in the US:
Why are there multiple of these horrors??
