Hopefully they will have more variety in more respectful presentation through a voluntary exchange with other museums. That would be the dream at least

I'm excited for them to fuck it up and leave them vulnerable and I expect to see some very telling like changes over the couple days after they roll this out

Not really, no. I think it is compatible with what PKMII suggested. Main character syndrome is apt here.

I agree with Uncle Iroh when he says

Pride is not the opposite of shame, but its source. True humility is the only antidote to shame.

So to help bring these people out of this counter-productive shame spiral, it might help more to consider the roots of their shame rather than leaving it at the succinct Main Character Syndrome.

I see what you mean, but I think there actually is a bit more to this. To me, reading this made me consider how individuals internalize responsibilities for collective ills. I think we as humans are very limited in our ability to know our own contributions to these mass endeavors in fuckery. We've created systems too complex for individuals to understand, and then when they try to reckon with their complicity they end up internalizing guilt for either way more than their individual contributions, or if they can't face up to that they end up rejecting their complicity entirely.

I guess I just think that the horrors of capitalism and imperialism create evils on a scale that is hard for our brains to grapple with.

Don't worry folks, you're not going to be imprisoned. You just won't be incorrect as a person anymore

Live long and die prosperous 🖖🏼

I feel this. I'm a software developer and my desk is placed right next to our validation team, and their benches are producing whirs, bings, and chimes pretty much all day. Its like I have my very own programming torture space to go to.

I made a meme of this exact phenomenon before my original instance went belly up, can't get it to upload but the text was:

"People say being ADHD doesn't come with superpowers

But can a neurotypical feel the exhaustion of a task without ever getting up to do it?"

My submission would be Legend of Legaia, its an old JRPG with some fighting game inspirations that has some really bleak levels in it. For instance a city where the residents have been consumed and fused with an enormous monster, so you find them as these like fleshy statue growths that are still aware of their situation, but powerless to escape it

It showed up as you replying to me talking about shift change at hexbear so idk what you want from me man. You can pretend I am a hexbear that inexplicably posted about wanting to defed them days ago just so I could gotcha someone, but I'm just a Linux guy who would rather we didn't use racist terms.

Perhaps you should click my profile before talking out of your ass. I am a lemm.ee user that explicitly supported defederating Hexbear in our meta thread on it. I'm not super fond of how they participate generally, but they are quite right about this one.

I like the sound of decking, makes me think of the people who do cool mods on their steam deck!

Its unbelievably funny how little you read

Screencap

Oh no, you got me. I solo wrote the Wikipedia page describing the origins of the term and its racist roots and all the citations linked from there, especially the ones written before I was born. I'm also personally sock puppetting the dozen or so accounts telling you you're wrong.

Or, and I know this will be a big stretch, you could change your wordview a single iota in response to new information and put forth the negligible effort to not use it anymore.

"My white friends and I used a racist term for each other that implicitly compares their cars to Asian ones perjoratively" is not necessarily the win you think it is.

When I was in seventh grade a classmate offered me a pull off a cigarette which I took. He then told me I had N***** lipped it. Does that magically become not racist as shit because we were both white and he used it to make fun of me?

No, there are just a metric shit ton of English words and terms that hail from our very much more racist past, and we would like our speech to reflect our values and not the values of our KKK grandparents.

Its a term invented to make fun of specifically Asian men customizing their cars. The implicit connotation is "your car is bad because it is customized for looks and not racing, like an Asian person would." It shares the same roots as incels calling Asian incels ricecels.

After reading through the comments here and seeing the level and type of hexbear participation I've lost my qualms and am fully in favor of defederating.
