I have a family member that works as an engineer building parts for various spacecraft. They get excited about the possibility of finding a renewable energy source and just in general what science can gain and learn from space that will make life better on earth.

Do with that what you will, I'm neutral, I'm just providing a different perspective that I think is relevant.

Thank you, i appreciate your extra guidance for lemmy lol

 

Disclaimer: New to lemmy and still figuring it out. Sorry if I did everything wrong, please be gentle.

Does anyone have any recommendations for an email app that doesn't data mine or whatever. I'm in the process of transitioning to the fediverse and purging shitty, morally dubious companies from my life. Currently weening off Google. I have a duckduckgo email relay, but I want to get Google completely off my phone.

In the spirit of my post, I'm glad you see a disparity in the term cultural appropriation like I do.

In the spirit of clarifying what I mean, cultural appropriation is using elements of another culture. What you described is exploitative, is very serious, and not what I'm referring to.

But I appreciate your input all the same.

Stop out-woking one another, it's okay to be right silently in order to bring in fence sitters.

If someone says, "my spirit animal told me late-stage capitalism is evil" welcome them to the club with open arms, focus on how you're alike and trust them to work out their faux pas over time spent among like-minded peers.

Also cultural appropriation ≠ exploitation, we can stop clutching our collective pearls over these faux pas.

Yep, I'm a big ol idiot that's scared of being wrong on the internet. Not that i don't want to waste my time with this argument that checks notes dogs are slaves.

This is an oversimplification. I have met plenty of people who are progressive or Democrat that believe some pretty wild things about vaccines and western medicine in general. Don't underestimate hippies.
