Quote me saying that. I didn’t.

Nice bait, though. Someone who’s not paying attention to the conversation might have been fooled by it.

It sounds to me like you’re a good person. The people they’re talking about are the ones who may have stopped hating, say, gay people – but who have redirected their bigotry toward other marginalized groups like trans people or Palestinians.

In my opinion, there’s effectively no such thing as a good or bad person – it’s the words and actions that count. No matter what you’ve done in the past, that’s over now.

This! One of the most disgusting trends I’ve seen are people misappropriating queer symbology to try to queerwash their genocide of Palestinians. They don’t care about us anymore than they care about the children they’re murdering.

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.

I’d check these.

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.

Knitting is super fun. I used to do it every day until I started my masters. I keep thinking I should restart this hobby. As long as you don’t buy ridiculously premium yarns, it’s super cheap too. I used to find boxes of yarn at yard sales or thrift stores.

I’ll check, but I’m pretty sure they’re still there. I think you can get a lawyer to have it expunged, but I don’t think it just drops off on its own.

Edit: Nevermind, it costs like $30 just to check this, and I already have a job I like so forget it lol

Even misdemeanors can be hard. I know I’ve been turned down for jobs based on my two arrests for disorderly conduct years ago. They’re not felonies, but they show up in a background check.

Thank you for linking an alternative. I actually like it even more than the enshittified one.

It’s weird for me. I get the cookie bullshit in reader view, but if I refresh it then I see the article. This happens with uBO enabled or disabled, either way.

“Look sir, my quest log is very, very full. If I get you this can of tuna, that’s it right? Just to that vendor and back again? This won’t lead me into some Dwemer ruins or Daedric temple?”

Same in our house, and we used to have all kinds of Goya stuff. Fortunately, it’s never been that high quality to begin with and can be easily replaced by alternatives.

Oh OK. FWIW I don’t think I’ve lost any tabs on Fennec, but I might have changed something in settings.

I like the way tabs look because I’ve never liked the idea of grouping tabs, but I understand people have different preferences

What’s wrong with it? I haven’t had any problems with it in Fennec.

LibreOffice is a breath of fresh air. Watching things go more cloud-based and/or using the gross “SAAS” model, it’s really nice to have software that does everything I need it to do without all the bullshit.

I was told I needed Microsoft Office when I was in college for my masters. I bought it but never used it, because LibreOffice just worked better.

I make body scrubs in these.

Used coffee grounds, coconut oil, and some alcohol to keep it from molding
