The nonsense is only spread by americans. Other people either don’t give a shit or are happy to see you are wearing things of their culture. If you wore a shalwar kameez to Pakistan no one is going to be mad; they’ll be quite happy actually.

Oh my fucking god. So getting Japanese characters tattoo’d on you is now cultural appropriation?

Get the fuck out of here.

Look, we’ve all laughed at those people who got a Chinese character tattoo that thought it meant “spirit” or something, but it instead meant “soup”. But thats about the extent of it. The person…

I mean is it really our job to be outraged for the citizens of Japan when they seem to feel no outrage at this situation?

Uproar over cultural appropriation is BS 99% of the time. I think culture if too often conflated with ethnicity as well. It’s natural for culture to spread.

Christians don’t tell their kids about Santa to begin with.  Santa Claus is a decidedly unChristian intruder on Christmas.

“...I see one very good kitty that wants it too.”

I call your Basset Hound and raise you: Beagle!

Because you can’t culturally appropriate FICTIONAL fucking stories.

They’re unlocking things for everyone. It’s not like you had to be online the moment they did it. It’s all still available. All it is is stuff they would’ve released anyway but they tied it to this. 

“Entry Level Job

Dancing to the song isn’t the challenge, it is getting out of a moving car to dance that is a challenge. (or maybe the challenge is to then get back into the moving car, possibly also while dancing.)
I hear his next video will feature dancing while jumping off a cliff, only to catch oneself in the trees below.…

Dear god society is becoming dumber by the second (not like I needed to point this out).

You cant tell me how to live my life!

It’s typical self-victimization: “Oh, my life sucks and I only make $7.50 an hour! Must be all those Euro-peeans stealing our jobs!”

Of course it is a dog whistle. “Fairness” is a way for his followers to say “white supremacy “ as in “white people deserves all the jobs minorities deserves the scraps”. The fairness imagined by the GOP is the “fairness” that was reserved for the 50s. 

“your dumb”

I actually don’t blame Leto. I think psycho gangsta Joker is an interesting new take on the character. I blame the writers who forgot that the Joker is supposed to be a little wacky, not just have a short fuse. I actually got about halfway through the extended version of the DVD and he had a few more “Jokery” moments…

I know this is going to be controversial, but I don’t think that Jared Leto was a good Joker. Further, I think he was a bad Joker.

I’m writing (trying to write) a piece now on women in tech, and the one thread that’s common among all the women’s experiences working in the industry is that they had early encouragement to tinker with these sort of things.

I’m not forcing my kids to learn how to code so that they become developers. I’m forcing my kids to learn how to code so that they learn how to think about problems, break them down into steps and solve them. Teaching kids to code is about teaching them how to think in an analytical manner, in my opinion. If they…
