There's a certain level of irony in correcting someone for misreading the prompt when you've misread it yourself.

Two false assumptions you've made here:

1. That English speakers are incapable of speaking other languages
2. That the word 'native' can't refer to English speakers

As an example, someone who speaks English and Spanish is qualified to answer this question. The word 'native' is ambiguous and can refer to either native English or Spanish speakers. This person can answer the prompt completely in English and still be correct.

I genuinely have no idea what you are trying to ask. I don't think an economic glass floor means what you think it means because it's certainly not something that's 'provided by the public sector'.

The economic glass floor is a phenomenal that prevents privileged groups from doing poorly and descending the socioeconomic ladder, which is another driving factor for inequality.

I mean no offense, but your writing and phrasing is very long winded and feels like a freshman trying to impress their professor. Can you rephrase more concisely please?

Something can have historical significance and also be rampantly commercialized at the same time. These are not mutually exclusive things.

Imagine yourself as a historian from a 1000 years from now. When you look back at the coca cola bottles, the Walmart signs, the oversized trucks all unearthed from the forgotten sands of time, you won't see it and say 'there is no culture or historical significance to be found here'. Instead, you will contemplate on what crises this century was going through that turned so many to overconsumption and yet still feel dead on the inside.

Your so called 'lack of culture' in holidays that are filled with superficial excuses from corporations to spend is history and culture in the making. This isn't an assessment on whether this is good or bad, this is history regardless of what you may think of it. The sooner you realize this, the sooner you realize that maybe Americans are not the homogeneous entity you thought it was. Maybe when you look beyond the glamorous decorations and lavish spending, you will see there are families struggling to feed their 5 five kids and yet still do their best to bring the holiday spirit to the table.

I'm not an American, so I don't have any stakes in this. I've lived in 5 countries, USA included, and I'm tired of people abroad complaining about the lack of culture in the US while gleefully importing American movies, music, franchises, movies, holidays, spending habits, slangs, etc. You can't have it both ways. Either the US doesn't have culture, or it does and it's being exported. Pick one.

I hate to break it you but all holidays, like the rest of human customs and traditions, are made up by humans.

I have autism, where's my free power?

Social conditioning is a hell of a drug. I eat a fraction of the meat I used to but it's still hard to completely stop.

Imo we don't need a lot of people to become full vegetarians, we need everybody to eat less meat.

Chronic pain and fibromyalgia be too real.

Minimizing human rights issues to further the cause for socioeconomic ones doesn't make you an enlightened anticapitalist, it makes you ideologically pro-CCP.

Christ you sound like an insufferable 10 year old with your 'facts don't care'. If you had actually read what you linked, you would have read the part where it specifies that the brain is what perceives pain even if it itself does not contain nociceptors. Claiming that the brain 'does not feel pain' is nothing more than semantic click bait.

As someone having lived years with unending pain and central sensitization, I find it hilarious someone telling me my brain 'does not feel pain because it literally can't'. Oh what I would give to be this healthy and naive again.

As someone with fibromyalgia, I have to disagree.

Girl boring guy quirky.

Where is Helck on this list?

Never seen someone who can say so little with so many words on lemmy.

Generally only religious people are uneducated enough to be anti-choicers.

Jesus Christ you're insufferable. And I wonder why people don't want to be religious these days.

Comparing veganism to toxic masculinity is just wild. You have a completely skewed perception of what the vast majority of vegans are like out there.

You think that the act of vegans existing is morally superior, whether or not they've said or done anything.

Nothing is being misunderstood here. You don't get to say 'I don't care if someone's a vegan' and then say 'veganism is a yellow flag' in the same breath. That's some cognitive dissonance if I've seen any before.

Yes, annoying vegans who are very pushy about vegans exists. However, It seems like your bias stems from your intolerance towards any mentioning of veganism.

A vegan saying 'I am vegan' would be annoying to you, as if existing as a vegan is an offense. This is what you sound like when you say veganism is a yellow flag.

Personally, I find that there are far more meat eaters out there who are much more vocal and annoying about hating vegans than there actual annoying vegans. I like eating meat, but I don't find that I need to be defensive about it around vegans.
