I think this is because dual flush is more modern, so newer built buildings or ones that are often renovated like businesses or airports would have them. I've seen the dual flush top button on new residential builds because it wastes less water and therefore more economical.

lgbtq people received the right to hold a job (2020)

Sorry, I'm not from the US can you explain what you mean by this? LGBTQ+ people have legally had jobs in the US for longer than that....

If I'm understanding what you're trying to ask, yes, there are a lot of people with indigenous heritage especially in California/texas/etc (places that until the Mexican-American war belonged to mexico) and they're now considered Latino (which I think is what you mean by "Hispanic".

It should be noted that not all Latin American people are Hispanic (e.g. some speak portuguese), yet many share similar cultures and looks because they are all descendents of indigenous peoples that were colonized.

It's happening in the US to Native Americans that they'll be confused for "illegal aliens"(I hate this term but it's what they call them) and they'll have their American identity questioned, simply because they look like Mexicans or other Latin American people because, like I said, we've all descended from the indigenous peoples of this continent.

Just as an FYI, many Latin American folks don't like to be referred to as Hispanic because a) not all are, and b) that is the name of the people that conquered us.

Yeah it's possible, but what I remember from the other post is about her calling him a loser or useless or something along those lines, so I think she's just very controlling.

Same with indigenous people on turtle island (north america).

I'd argue that it doesnt really count since the concept of 'country' though is more colonial in its origins so realistically, a 'country' wouldn't exist until after colonization in these areas.

Nations might've existed with different groups/tribes/villages sharing a culture, but the concepts of clear-cut borders, strict land ownership, and nationalism (which to me are a requirement for the concept of a "country") are significantly different in many indigenous cultures as compared to colonial states. Maybe with the exception of some Latin American empires? Though I don't know enough about those empires to be confident in that.

You look nice! And side note, I spent far too long trying to figure out why you had merged 3 pictures together before I realized that was a mirror :(

Its a great initiative but from the looks of it, the creators are taking a break. I wonder if there's any other organizations (not shitty websites that rip designs) that are selling something similar towards a good cause.

Honestly, I had that one and this GIF of a fat weiner dog chasing batman saved to my bookmarks for a long time because they bring me so much joy.

With my current cats I have a clear favourite so I would go to her, and then the other one would run in the room and demand the attention because he is a needy little shit. I love him though, he just never lets her (or anyone) have a moment of peace.

I think it's just saying that it's dumb to call other people's rallies pointless if you yourself have rallies as well. Like either you believe rallies accomplish something or you don't, but you don't get to say that some rallies work and others don't, because regardless of the cause, all rallies have the same purpose (awareness and solidarity for a specific cause, generally).
