No one is living 100% to ideological perfection. It's a spectrum. Some are a lot closer than others. I've definitely met some ascetic non-judgemental types.

I agree with you, but you will get shut down because it hurts the narrative. Those terms will be called "dog whistles" or something stupid like that.

That one is a legit problem.

It's so you can be labeled Nazi-adjacent so they can punch you without due process.

The concept of cultural appropriation is mostly bullshit. Almost every single behavior and action every person takes is richly informed by multiple cultures, whether it language, clothes, food, or beliefs.

I think the term only makes sense if it's done in a disrespectful way, e.g. cracking a joke or wearing a sacred ceremonial headress to a frat party.

But otherwise no culture "owns" any behavior or idea.

Because it's additive?

So even back in the early 90s when I dabbled in Libertarianism, people had a more nuanced take here, in that shared resources like water and air that crossed land boundaries would be protected by law. For instance you could do a class action lawsuit against the person damaging your air and water. But no one is that nuanced now.

Most "libertarians" are this dumb, but the old school ones at least attribute the problems to uneven regulation rigged in favor of the ruling class, which does jive with my understanding of what is wrong with the financial system. That being said, libertarianism wouldn't work even if they did get shit straight.

Mattress: something firm like a tatami mat with a thin futon on top. Your lower back and hips will be happy.

Pillow: buckwheat husk filled with a dust cover. Your neck, shoulders, and sinuses will be happy.

There's a difference between speaking of a category of behavior and being personally named.

Cross-posting from mechs:

I picked up a glove80 ergo mech, coming from a regular split keyboard, and am having a hard time adjusting. Got a couple questions. 1. For those of you that use tiling window managers like i3 or sway, or anything with a mod key, what do you use for your mod key? The “System” key on this board is so far away that my thumb really needs to stretch to get to it; not sure if there are similar issues with other thumb clusters. 2. are there any good typing practice sites or games you would recommend, especially those that emphasize special characters, numbers, and mod keys in the thumb cluster?

This took me like 5 minutes to type lol
