Why would people buy wine already in the can when they can just wash out and reuse a can of delicious Wolf ColaTM

Do you realize that fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous communist plot we have ever had to face?
Wine in a can is stupid when there isn't a hipster under 35 that wouldn't buy wine in a caprisun pouch or juice box.

Ah yes, the mindfulness movement.

If you ever meet someone who says the word "mindfulness" in your presence...feel free to crank a sticky homunculous load into their latte, mexi-fries, and/or chicken cordon-bleu sandwich

I didn't know there were other ohio city goons. I knew there were cle goons but not ohio city specifically. Are you cool? If so, I'd like to meet in person and be disgusted/disgust someone else about what forums I post in.

Yeah Bounce is still there, but from that article it looks like there was a lot more than just Bounce.

I'm only here temporarily for work, I moved to Ohio City just over a year ago, but I'm likely gone in 6-12 months back to Chicago. I'm just south of St. Ignatius, so if you want to get a beer at Platform, or ABC, or something PM me.

Lol, cultural appropriation is real. All culture is appropriation. As individuals we don't really think up a lot of cool poo poo, so when we see something cool we copy it.

That is how culture works - see something cool? Copy that poo poo, and maybe murder the guy who came up with it so you can claim it's your own idea, idk.

Cultural appropriation is both real and awesome.

Good thing that happens: "oh awesome idea let's try that thing in our own lives"

Bad thing that happens "lol guys look I'm an Indian look I have a feather on my head lolololol"

Hell as dumb as the backlash was for that "please don't wear racist costumes" letter from the uni professors this halloween, I can still walk into Halloween city and buy a Ching Chong Chinaman costume without batting an eye

It used to be called "cultural fusion," lol, but then the culture police decided that if you don't copy every aspect of some tradition then you're doing it wrong and must be making fun of someone. I wear a poncho because it suits the weather where I live, e.g., but I wouldn't be surprised if some white Millennial got mad at me for it.

Wearing a feathered headdress when you're white just because you like the look? I think a hat is a hat and Texans don't get to bitch when I wear a ten gallon one, either.

Wearing a feathered headdress and dancing around going "hey-a ho-a hey-a ho-a" or clapping your hand to your mouth while holding a high note? Now you're being retarded.

cultural appropriation is not real and if you think it is, your view of culture is more simplistic, superficial and essentialist than that held by white supremacists

the fact that it's such a nonsensical concept is the entire reason it's so popular among the tumblr crowd, any human being is guilty of it by definition

Yeah I meant to put that I have mixed feelings about someone who wears a headdress because they were learning to do a special ceremony, but didn't earn the feathers in battle :shrug:

In a way, people who fly the confederate battle flag are appropriating form their ancestors' culture by not being in battle.
