Yeah, blackface is fucked up. And using spiritually significant indigenous clothing to go butt chug booze is fucked up. I think the difference is that blackface was never part of black culture. It was part of white culture. The appropriation part comes from the fact that it’s crossing cultural boundaries.
Funnily enough, lemon squash is what we call it when the elderly play racket sports
The way people use words online is so debate brained. Cultural appropriation isn’t inherently bad. It’s just a thing that exists and holds connotations about an imbalance of exchange. Is aussie style sushi not still considered Japanese food? Like, we have california rolls, but no one says they’re eating Californian food while eating sushi.
“Lemonade” has several different meanings depending on where you are. Is aussie lemonade carbonated?
If I had to choose one I’d choose one of the ones that’s already going extinct so I could disrupt as few ecosystems as possible
Alternately, is there an invasive species that harms the ecosystems it invades and doesn’t have a non-invasive counterpart? Maybe domesticated cats?

I think that most core frameworks put a ton of effort into backwards compatibility. Maintainers of smaller libraries and glue packages, however…
Worker ownership of tech firms
That’s $385 for every person on earth
It’s good to know amp sims and VSTs on Linux have come far! The drums still aren’t where I’d like them to be to switch and I’ve tried several times to get Steven Slate Drums and Superior Drummer working with a VST bridge in Ubuntu Studio, with no luck. Still sticking with Apple for now, but at least I finally have Windows out of my house.
Why? I don’t understand what it is
That last one is really common. If people can ambiently hang out and form community in a space, it tends to be an unprofitable use of those spaces, so they keep disappearing.
You have ADHD? Because this is a pretty common thing for people with ADHD. Resting opens you up to getting locked in by executive dysfunction, but keeping busy and being able to bounce between things that you’re motivated to do lets you hyperfocus through a bunch of shit.
I really can’t stress enough that schools enforcing dress codes isn’t related to counter-terrorism just because the girls were Muslim
