Can you pick a specific well-known depiction of ASPD and compare what is similar and dissimilar to your experience?

I have a family member that works as an engineer building parts for various spacecraft. They get excited about the possibility of finding a renewable energy source and just in general what science can gain and learn from space that will make life better on earth.

Do with that what you will, I'm neutral, I'm just providing a different perspective that I think is relevant.

I was looking at that one, thanks!

Thank you, i appreciate your extra guidance for lemmy lol

Thanks!

The tube is out there

Reminds me of gink

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

Yes! I love it, thank you for that follow up. That's exactly what I mean.

In the spirit of my post, I'm glad you see a disparity in the term cultural appropriation like I do.

In the spirit of clarifying what I mean, cultural appropriation is using elements of another culture. What you described is exploitative, is very serious, and not what I'm referring to.

But I appreciate your input all the same.

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.

Yep, I'm a big ol idiot that's scared of being wrong on the internet. Not that i don't want to waste my time with this argument that checks notes dogs are slaves.

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 feel like you might be a troll so I'm just gunna disengage

I guess there are working breeds (hunting/herding/pest removal) so you're right in a way.

Personally, I view it as a symbiotic relationship. To each their own.

Slavery usually implies material profiting from another's unpaid labor. I've been losing money on this investment since day 1.

Fish gotta swim, birds gotta eat

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.

Oh, my bad. Still an interesting read, though

This article isn't wrong, but it seems to be emphasizing that we remember our limitations and think critically when dealing with complex issues. It doesn't really match this post which seems to be promoting living in tiny, isolated, self sufficient villages. It's occurring to me in real time that he means communes
