basically anyone who really shames people for buying their kids shoes or for buying themselves a manicure while poor doesnt understand poverty

poor people often have a lot of disposable income, more than you think, cause they live on cash

they often do not have any means of transforming that cash into assets or into longterm wealth

so yes i had a lot of toys and nice things as a poor kid because you can buy toys at the dollar store too

and like you can pay a lady 10 dollars in cash to do your nails professionally

but you really cannot scrimp, at least not anymore (maybe decades ago you could) to buy yourself a house or to invest in stocks or other things that guarantee financial protection

poor people are liquid- thats why they may have material goods including nice cell phones but they broke ass will always be broke 

hell, even banks and financiers EXPLOIT the liquidity of poor people; cash advance places in the hood and the proven empirical facts that cash deposits from banks in low-income neighborhood go towards major investments and are used as liquid assets by big businesses

keeping poor people in cash and banks in poor neighborhoods are major transfers of wealth in this economy

so please spare me your policing of some lady who decided to get some shoes

Always reblog

It’s back

Have I ever mentioned how much I detest PC gaming culture?

the culture is horrible but pc gaming itself

….not bad.

It’s fine for those who like it and have good PCs.

Personally I despise playing games on PC, I detest playing games on a keyboard in general and I don’t care to spend an absurd amount on a gaming rig that’ll last about 6 months before being considered obsolete.  Even if consoles tend to be more mainstream and not as powerful as high end PCs they’re more than enough to play any game that I’m really interested in and offer plenty for my tastes.

PC master race people don’t seem to get that.

Console wars are annoying, but I have never been talked down to by console gamers like I’ve been talked down to by PC elitists.

PC will never be master race because you can’t play BOTW on PC

Not all that Glitters is Gold….

They exist in Haiti. Thats how my great great great grandfather died.

Wait hold on someone explain this to me I’m so lost lol

The belief is Haiti is that certain women can live under water and will lived there for years… These women are extremely beautiful and men being men can’t stay away from a good looking women are seduce and then dragged under water and are never to be seen again… My great grandmother was one of these women… One day her mother sent her to go get water from the river and she never came back 10 years later they see her come up the road in all white with beautiful jewelry all around her body sing up a storm.. When her family asked her where she was she told them she was under water… thats the story my grandma always use to tell me growing up

Wow

Sounds like daughters of Yoruba goddess

I love African and African Diasporan mythology.

we call them “river mumma” in Jamaica

I NEED MORE MYTHOLOGY INVOLVING BLACK CULTURES IN THE DIASPORA.

We call the “mammi water” in Nigeria
