I can just see people trying this for the first time, knocking the foil out of alignment and pouring a whole pan of hot grease down the drain

This came up in an anti-racism group I belonged to many years ago, where I learned to try to be aware of my acceptance of whiteness as "default" or somehow raceless. I also learned not to jump in and center myself in conversations about how race is (or worse, should be) perceived by those negatively affected or sensitive to it—or at least I thought I learned that, but here I am about to press send.

I came away from that conversation with an understanding that while I may feel that my race is immaterial to my identity and my point of view, it is nonetheless a real component of the context of my attitudes and online presence, so it's valuable to ask if there's a reason I'd want to hide it.

On The Simpsons? Yeah, there are Black and brown characters.

It's still true. It's not that the majority of these people are actually thinking, "How can I make the world worse and make the greatest number of people's lives bad?" Rather, they're under the impression that others (probably you) are saying that, and worse, that Trump is somehow their best defense against it.

No matter how much you want that, getting over your ex won't make you more attracted to your girlfriend/roommate. But there might be someone out there that you will feel strongly enough about that the ex problem will take care of itself.

I don't know that the high prevalence of RGB items on the market necessarily reflects a love for it. I think it just means it's cheap to produce and can be marketed as an extra feature.

There's a wide distance between supervising a young child responsibly (which obviously must be done at all times) and engaging in play (which you should do when you can and you'll be glad you did, but if you just don't have it in you, it's not a crime to sit quietly for a few minutes).

Not to promote violence, but I'm afraid nothing is likely to change until people are pushed far enough to do more than hope.

You're not, but someone did. After the fact, I mean. Like not as part of its origin. Like as a lie.

Wtf is "redneck agenda," the farmers almanac?

Your question isn't stupid, but it does make me feel very curious about what potential hypotheses you might have been weighing.

I'm having trouble interpreting the subject because of the competing scale of the foreground and background objects. I don't know this artist's work and I'm having trouble finding anything via Google, so I hope you won't mind my asking, but is this meant to be surreal? Is there some statement intended about the tides washing away the remains of humanity? Are the graves already underwater? Or is this perhaps a more familiar sort of landscape in some other part of the world that I've simply never seen?
