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.

This is an oversimplification. I have met plenty of people who are progressive or Democrat that believe some pretty wild things about vaccines and western medicine in general. Don’t underestimate hippies.

I’m so jaded that I don’t believe anything anymore. Part of me thinks this is a publicity stunt so people go to the site and then they can justify their existence by their popularity/how many people visited their site.
