I’m thinking of that episode of Friends where Ross pretends to have a British accent on his first day of teaching and tries to slowly phase it out and replace it with his real American accent without embarrassing himself further…and oh my god, I don’t think this is gonna go well. It’s like that episode but in reverse. Sort of. This is going to be so awkward for you. Please update us on how it goes, we’re rooting for you!

Because everyone knows only terrorists take hostages, so using the term to describe one side tells the public who to think is the terrorist side without having to actually say it.

I know, right? That is some frickin Lord Farquaad shit. What a dickhead!

Alligator. Chewier than chicken. Tasted kinda like chicken. Would try again, I guess.

Also had ostrich burgers a couple of times. I’m told I was shitfaced and enjoyed them immensely, but I couldn’t tell you for sure, for I was shitfaced.

“Wow.”

Same here, it hasn’t gotten old for me yet! Hahah, I’m sure you get this a lot, but I saw your username and assumed I was looking at a Risa post (or at least a post in the startrek.website instance), hence the Trek reference.

Thx for posting this comic, it’s nice to be reminded you’re not the only one, ya know?

This frickin comic, it gets me every time. It is a lot like that. I try to reason, be rational, consider options, but I get nothing back. It’s like trying to hail the Reliant, all I get is static.

Israel has made many attempts to share the land and has allowed to them live in territories within the land for decades

Bruh, they’re annexing the West Bank. If that’s your idea of sharing, I’n dying to see what you think bullshit looks like.

And that too.

Bandcamp’s U.S. employees, who launched a union that went public earlier this year, announced early in October that they had sent a letter to Songtradr outlining a list of demands around the sale of the company

JFC, brutal response.

They just laid off half their staff

Edit: after they got bought out. Hooray capitalism! https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/half-of-bandcamps-staff-laid-off-after-songtradr-acquisition/ar-AA1ijuTX

FFS lol, why don’t we skip the pedantry and just call it Gary already

I saw there was a conservative nazi community and decided to look at it.

You had a typo. I fixed it for you

I am not of indigenous Hawaiian descent, but I feel like I can answer this since I grew up there. FYI you’re gonna get a lot of different answers depending on who you ask, when/where they lived there, etc.

While I don’t find the “mainland”'s obsession with grass skirts and coconut bras particularly “offensive,” I do think people need to know Native Hawaiian women didn’t wear tops at all until Protestant missionaries arrived in the 1900s. There are no records of its official origin, but the coconut bra was eventually embraced by natives to an extent and used as an exotic marketing element for tourism. Now it’s permanently associated with the islands. Technically you could say coconut bras are traditional now, but they sure weren’t traditional before the islands were colonized.

But to answer your question, I personally do not find your typical “Hawaiian day” offensive. A little embarrassing and cringe, to be honest, but not offensive. I do think it’s disappointing, though, how most people accept things at face value and aren’t interested in learning about other cultures if it doesn’t fit the image they have in their head. Because there’s so much more to learn, man. I don’t think you’re “overreacting,” and I think it’s more than a little disingenuous (this next part is not aimed at you btw OP) to invalidate others’ concerns about cultural appropriation and write them off completely simply because the subject makes you uncomfortable. It’s a real thing, and it’s a discussion worth having. Who knows, you might learn something.

On that note, a fun fact: did you know that the iconic flower-print button-down short-sleeve collared shirts are not called “Hawaiian shirts” in Hawai’i? Yeah, only tourists call them that. They’re “Aloha shirts,” brah!

Naw that’s his little brother, Lit Fisto. He had the munchies and stopped in for a burger.

Jesus fucking christ

This is terrible, I love it.

yeah, you gotta post em if you have more

Skill?? What is this “get on my level” shit? They are trying to kill us.
