IMO, it’s only cultural appropriation if you’re making a shit ton of money off of something you copied from another culture, while the people from that culture that are involved with thing aren’t.

People who get pissed at White people for having dreads are idiots. Same for a Mexican wearing a kilt. Grow up and let people dress how they want.

If you like it, wear a bonnet.

Why would they do that? That would be like taking responsibility for a previous administration’s fuckery. The best thing the next president could do would be to do everything they can force Red States to improve their education systems so that the next generation grows up able to think critically and have things like good judgment of character.

Maybe not quite what you were looking for, but my first year in college, some students held a “Love Your Body” parade, which involved students marching around campus completely nude. Of course, the only people who participated were those most people probably would have passed on seeing naked. Just a whole bunch of folks with body image issues (mostly women, but a few men too) and way too much courage. Bizarre.

Now, now. There’s a handful of millennials waiting to hoard it after they die. This is how the trickle-down works, people, let it trickle. Gosh, so impatient…

I never put my seat back and consider it rude when other people do it. There was even one instance in which I made a stink I demanded the person in front of me put their seat back up (thankfully, they complied).

As others have pointed out, this is a situation created by the airlines and their shitty business models.

I definitely watch some content meant for children, because much of that content works with multiple age ranges. For example, Ponyo. That shit makes me cry like a bitch. Fantastic film.

Can someone please explain to me the logic behind allowing states to redistribute their districts every few years? The problem isn’t that the GOP redistricts in a way to oppress black voters or that the Dems redistrict to support them, it’s that we allow these shenanigans at all. Why are we allowed to have these battles in the first place? There has to be a better solution.

We are incredibly stupid and awesome.

Yes. I don’t trust anyone to draw the line on what does or doesn’t count as hate speech.

Now, calls to violence are little more black-and-white. I can see a ban on that.

Ahhh…makin’ me homesick.

It depends on the reasons they’re choosing not to visit them.

LOL, people ITT slamming this guy with accusations of laziness without knowing a thing about him. He’s probably one of the most knowledgeable and insightful business minds of our time. Not saying he’s a saint, but he’s sure as fuck not lazy. Y’all need to grow the fuck up.

But do you love it because she hates it?

People who believe in God have failed to adequately reflect on their beliefs. Religion is fairy tales for adults. Sorry, but that’s the truth. Your question is simply a step on the staircase of rationality.

Education isn’t intelligence. Academic achievement is done through effort in studying.

Grubhub’s website seems intentionally unusable. Slow, constant errors, randomly logs me out, etc.

You’re pointing to countries that still have police as evidence that we don’t need police?

Man, ACAB arguments have flatlined.

Cops are a few hundert years old concept why would they be necessary now when most places they barely existed pre ww1.

LOL, wtf are you smoking, dude? This is why conversations about this topic on Lemmy are so consistently bad; ACAB folks just make shit up. Societies have had police in some form or another since practically the beginning of civilization. And to the extent that they didn’t, crime was up and vigilante justice was the only recourse.

You’re a damn fool, and I don’t take you seriously.

All of those instances are examples of either cops not doing their jobs or the law being imperfect. Problems like that will always exist but that just means we need to focus on fixing them, by changing laws and instituting better systems for policing the police. Getting rid of police as an institution is pointless and fixes nothing.

I agree we need reforms in both law and police departments, as well as a better institution than “Internal Affairs” to keep cops in line. More essentially, we need to change the cultural problem at the heart of police corruption. Regular psychological evaluations, deescalation training, and an active stance against authoritarian personalities in police need to be adopted.

Uh-huh. So, in your fantasy world where cops don’t exist, who intervenes when someone inevitably commits a crime?

I’m sure you’ve got some version of Social Workers with Enforcement Powers^TM in mind, but all that really amounts to is Reformed Cops^TM. So, just admit ACAB is your anger-fueled generalization/oversimplified solution to a complex problem and say you want police reform, like the rest of us sane people.
