This is great! Thank you so much for compiling these resources. I’ve bookmarked it for reference. Please don’t delete it!

It was hilarious seeing companies scrambling to do damage control and showing their full ass in the process!

Fuck those racist suburbanites. It’s not ok to disseminate the racist myth about a border “crisis” just to win political favor. Fuck anyone – Democrat, Republican, or other – that contributes to this.

Edit: That sounded really negative. If you support open borders, then I hope you have a great day!

I think about this tweet a lot.

As a 2FA supporter, I get a bit addled when the time sync isn’t working properly and my discord login won’t accept the code

One thing that is not on my bucket list is climbing Mt. Everest. Any natural wonder and charm it once had have been destroyed by mindless tourists.

No one person can represent an entire culture though. That’s why it’s on us to learn how to be respectful.

For example, someone from Mexico might be just fine with offensive Hispanic stereotypes, but that doesn’t excuse such behavior. You can’t just ask a random person for a pass, like what? Even asking for something like that would be utterly tasteless lmao

But cultural appreciation is not what is meant by “cultural appropriation.” Cultural appropriation is when it’s done in a disrespectful manner.

I grew up with some utterly racist experiences in school – the feather “headdress” and cardboard tipis, the sombreros on Cinco de Mayo, etc.

I wish I’d had someone at the time to explain why that was wrong.

To me, the term “cultural appropriation” refers to things like schools having kids make chicken feather “headdresses” to “celebrate” Native American Day, or wearing a religious symbol in a disrespectful way. Even though people like the person in the post can be annoying, I think it’s still progress that we’re able to have these discussions, and I think it’s too bad that for many people the takeaway seems to be “cultural appropriation is never problematic.” I’d take the person from the post any day over someone who thinks they’re immune from criticism when they unintentionally engage in behavior that truly is disrespectful.

I’m a bit of a nerd about longboarding and also building Commander decks in Magic the Gathering.

I wouldn’t say I’m an expert in either case, but I’m really interested in trying different setups and also seeing people discuss their own experiences and builds.

Oh, that’s too bad, in that I’m not currently a bird.

🤔

Will you be my lawyer if I get caught? “Your honor, let the record show that my client wasn’t circumventing the lock – he physically destroyed the lock instead. Nothing further, your honor.”

I’d feel like that would be crossing a line that I’ve made for myself. In theory, I’m not opposed, but I feel like the stakes would be much higher once it involves circumventing a lock.

If I were very desperate, I’d do it.

I miss Radio Shack, but also I feel like toward the end there the workers wouldn’t even let me breathe.

Yeah, I forgot about that.

Same with “SJW” – “Social Justice Warrior.” Sounds great to me!

“Drug users can never know for sure whether the substance they are buying is what it’s claimed to be” is a solid argument for decriminalization. (Not sure where Finland stands on that.)

In this case, I’m not so sure. This governor did veto an anti-trans sports bill in the past.

For those communities that do already have a stateless, classeless society, you mean? This happens.

The TL:DR is that you function on the agreed-upon principles of horizontality and mutual aid, but I know that doesn’t sound like a satisifying answer, and there are so many ways that might look.
