It’s been this way for a long time. 20 years ago I was told I came off as angry in my texts. It took me a sec, but I figured out it’s bc i put periods at the end of the last sentence.
That sounds like a good plan. See you there

That’s very kind of you to say, it’s bc I’m exceptional lol no, basic functions like this are okay, but I think to use Lemmy as intended is tougher.
I genuinely don’t know where to start bc i put it in the back of my mind over a year ago when i joined; i don’t remember all the lingo. I never got around to researching answers then and at this point, I don’t use it enough to justify time spent.
Like if I have to research how to use it, it’s not user friendly imo
Lemmy is like an unintuitive, user-unfriendly reddit. And everyone likes it that way. I’m not leaving bc i want to support open-source shit, but I’m hoping it gets more user friendly someday.
This is 100% my experience as well.
Thomas middleditch, the dude makes my skin crawl. Silicon valley is the only thing I’ve been able to watch with him, but when he’s just on talk shows or being himself i have to skip past. Skeevy is the word that comes to mind.
I don’t believe so, but thank you for your guess!
Young children’s book, I viewed it at preschool. I remember being so engrossed with the art. I think it took place in space and the little colorful characters looked like sparkly Dots candy. I have tried to find it as an adult, but there’s so many children’s picture books is impossible to search what little info I have to go off.
Happiest memories involve my grandmas. I typed out some memories but they made me sad and deleted it. Funny how that works.

This is my exact thought. My state recently passed a law requiring drivers’ phones to be in hands free mode which means connecting phone to vehicle. Data sharing and security on vehicles is so under regulated. Seems like another way to forcibly track us and sell our info.
I was looking at that one, thanks!
Thank you, i appreciate your extra guidance for lemmy lol
Thanks!

Respectfully, I disagree with your definition of cultural appropriation, but i agree it’s wrong to deny others the right to identify with their heritage or cultures.
Cultures borrow from one another, it’s just the nature of having multiple societies in proximity. I would argue (outside of the realm of exploitation) more often than not, cultural appropriation doesn’t come from a malevolent place, nor does it restrict anyone from otherwise enjoying their own heritage and culture. Some 9 year old wearing a Halloween costume of a Disney princess that isn’t their own race isn’t the crime we make it out to be. Worst case scenario it’s a faux pas, best case scenario, that kid took an interest in a group of people they are not familiar with and learned about them.
Also, as another commenter pointed out, the term cultural appropriation is used to cover a wide variety of offenses, so this disagreement could potentially come from that.
Edit: clarity
Stop out-woking one another, it’s okay to be right silently in order to bring in fence sitters.
If someone says, “my spirit animal told me late-stage capitalism is evil” welcome them to the club with open arms, focus on how you’re alike and trust them to work out their faux pas over time spent among like-minded peers.
Also cultural appropriation ≠ exploitation, we can stop clutching our collective pearls over these faux pas.
