u/TheoiAndTuna 18 1d ago
Imagine being a housecat though, like you'd do nothing but eat, sleep and play and people would love you for that no matter what you do. You don't even have to pay rent or taxes, you can just exist and be cute

Probably gonna get skin cancer eventually but ive basically never used sunscreen in my life and got sunburned like twice. I tan noticeably in like 2 hrs so that might have something to do with it.

u/Key-Demand-2569 1d ago
People who screech about sunscreen and skin cancer like anyone who doesn’t use it constantly is a brain dead idiot are… out of touch or very ignorant.
It’s in the category of things you can do it mitigate a very scary increased chance of danger, so you should. Because it’s easy.
But millions if not billions of lighter skinned people have been repeatedly burned by the sun for decades and not gotten skin cancer.
It’s a very marginal increase in risk.
Should still do it.
The same way heavy cigarette smokers (a pack or more most days for decades) have an 11% increased chance of related cancer by the end of their life.
Which is massive, but it’s not a guarantee. But there are a ton of other bad things associated with smoking for your health other than cancer.
Same with getting burned a lot (kinda.) Mostly cosmetic, showing like you aged sooner and things like that, increased development of moles or spots that weren’t there before but aren’t cancer, etc.

u/No-Guard7277 1d ago
Lol, you're fine man, most people get lots of sunburns without getting cancer. Twice is fine, get it a third time for good measure.

u/osama_bin_guapin 18 1d ago
It’s a touchy subject in the United States because in our country white pride is often directly linked with white supremacy. In a perfect world it shouldn’t be like that, but it is.
So saying you’re proud to be white could be seen as offensive by some. But you can be proud of your ethnicity/culture. Like you see people waving Irish and Polish flags all the time here in the United States and no one has a problem with it. It’s all about context. Just don’t be a bigot

Well said. No one would care if you said you’re proud to be American. Generally a countries’ history can impact how people feel about their race/ethnicity/country (it’s why you don’t often see Germans saying they’re proud of their country)

yeah I agree, especially with OP saying things like “what, can I not love my race?”
The issue isn’t that you love your race lol, it’s that you’re posting about it. The “posting it” part is what makes this entire situation strange.

Cool! I think that is a good thing. I’m not allowed to show my pic on internet but I also like to be the person I am. I’m like swede so I look like the opposite to you but my adopted brother is borned in Bangladesh so he is close to as dark as you and I love him for being him.
I think it’s kind of old fashioned to talk about like skin colors and race and stuff. Like all ppl are individuals and if a white person is bad and a black person is bad they are both just bad persons.
If a black person is good or if a white person are good the both are just good persons
It’s no different if they are black or white- it only matter that a person is good or bad.
Like I’m Swedish and we have not had black ppl living here for long as in USA and had no like history of black slaves and stuff but I have listened to the mighty American speaker Martin Luther King then we talked about American history in school and he was a really smart man.
We must stop this white and black nonsense and talk about humans and the content of a persons Character rather then how they look.
“I have a dream that one day my four little children will live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
