That blue sky thing is a great way to get people to never waste their time on alt text.

Some kind of bizarre "shinigami eyes" cult lunacy.

Wildest thing to me about the online safety act is that parental controls already exist on every device. Like my mp3 player has a parental controls option. Like why should i have to give up my privacy and risk my data being leaked because some people cant be bothered to check that their kids are safe online

Can you use a greatsword in one hand? Can a zweihänder be an einshänder? Does a claymore clayless?

People need to throw the idea of "cultural appropriation" in the trash where it belongs. That term doesn't mean what most people think it does.

This world belongs to all of us. Culture is a thing that is shared, fundamentally. It cannot BE a culture if it's not shared.

Yes, you can enjoy anything and be inspired by anything. Yes, even if you try and get it wrong. Even if you put your own spin on it. It's fine. It's normal. It's been happening literally forever, and you can't stop it.

You shouldn't WANT to.

In my experience as a third culture kid who travels a lot the best indicator that you as a non-x is appreciating x culture is if the locals actively invite you to participate in it with them

Yes, you are allowed to buy those handmade Inuit winter clothes if an Inuk is literally selling them to you. They would not be offering you a price point if they didnt want you to buy and wear them. And you might discover that theyre the best winter clothes youve ever worn because of COURSE they would be if theyve kept this culture warm in harsh winters for thousands of years.

Yes, you are allowed to join those Cambodians in that local holiday theyre celebrating during your visit if they literally invited you to it. They would not have invited you if they didnt want you to participate. And in the process you might learn a lot about a culture you never wouldve interacted with and you can all have a laugh together about your clumsy but genuine attempts at getting your footwork right in one of their traditional dances.

Yes, you are also allowed to ask if you can participate in something from the local culture you are visiting. Sometimes you will get "sorry, thats a closed practice" but in my experience most of the time you'll get "of course, let me show you how to do this!" And in my experience people tend to appreciate when others make an active effort in sharing their culture and wont stone you to death if youre clumsy about it while youre learning. I guarantee that the local children doing all of this for the first time too make the same mistakes you do and they can tell if youre being disrespectful or genuine.

So much "cultural appropriation" discourse really starts to sound like "you cant participate or visit any other cultures if youre from a Colonial Culture and have to stay in your little box and never relate to other people"

Oh right. OP is the account that famously likes to fearmonger by intentionally withholding actual sources and actual information.

This time, it's a blatant LIE.

I despise Republicans because they're morons. The only thing worse than a Republican is this brand of "liberal" who decides to lie to make them look worse. We don't need that kind of "help." The Republicans do enough to themselves.

Some self respect and respect for the actual truth would be nice.

Eating uninspected food is going to crush supermarkets when food poisoning and E. coli start wiping out brands.

Lawsuits for selling tainted food.

This will kill people. This will not save money or end waste or stop fraud.

Republicans are sadistic bastards.

Delicious. We love to see it.
