I’d guess many in your circles argue along the lines of ...

It probably cost $10,000 a pound to collect that. Pay 1 cent a pound for used plastic on the beaches of the Pacific and you will have a much bigger impact. Or use the money to run a program to figure out how to get fishing boats to preserve their nets. Or hire monitors in ports to crack down on dumpers. There are so…

We don’t have a White-hat government bureau because we have a Black-hat one that finds these kinds of things and keeps it to themselves for espionage purposes.

I can’t be too upset at a guy who is chasing a dream he had when he was a teenager. Kids have ideas, that’s a great time to shoot for the stars.

This one burns me up. I’m having a heck of a time convincing my sphere that it isn’t really 5G. This would be like an ice cream manufacturer saying their ice cream is “Sugar Free*” and then putting a tiny note on the bottom of one buried page of their website (not the ice cream package) that says

“wHo StIlL sMoKes!?”

Man, if only there was TED Talk and a gogo youth culture when I started in the environmental business as a fresh grad. A long long time ago.

IoT is like sex in high school: way more people are talking about it than doing it, and the few that are are doing it wrong.

It’s supposed to be señor staff reporter. Just another typo.

I really don’t get the “outrage” over this. Honestly, she gets a tattoo in kanji, a bad one at that, and suddenly shes appropriating Japanese culture. Look if some white girl wants to get he hair braided in cornrows and look foolish then her, or if Grande want’s to get kanji tattoo let her who cares. Shes not claiming…

Only in America can different cultures mixing seem like a hate crime.

I really don’t understand. In France, we’d laugh because of the original meaning. But we’d laugh at people thinking it’s cultural appropriation. What a world to live in.

Time to shut down Japanese, Chinese, Italian Mexican Restaurants!!!

This is what westerners need to understand. Cultural appropriation is a bullshit argument used when you have nothing else to say.

Okay so let me get this straight. 

Cultural appropriation is a concept engineered by twits that are trying to actively divide multi-cultural nations. So when you see a rise in white nationalism and you start trying to shame people for embracing a part of another culture don’t be too surprised if the average person will just be pushed further into their…

Ashcraft, why should we take these comments with a grain of salt when Japanese are stating their opinions on Japanese cultural appropriation? Every comment disagreed with the notion of cultural appropriation and pointed out that only Americans on a quest for new outrage are outraged by ariana grande’s tattoo.

Remember that one high school girl who wanted to wear qipao to prom because she appreciated how it looked? Such an innocent thing to do.

Something tells me that the vast majority of people accusing Grande of cultural appropriation doesn’t understand nor doesn’t give a fuck about Japanese culture. 

“Cultural appropriation” is a nonsense term that’s just going to divide people
