@zonk hot take, deliberately missing the point of the joke: the way humans organize work has not changed fundamentally and they probably did have something not totally unlike this

arriving in city 18 like
“let me get that can for you :)”
“drink the water! they put something in it to make you remember!”
“you, citizen! be on your way!”

@sun @pingviini we must never conflate zealots and purists with reasonable people whom we can treat with a little more respect at little cost to ourselves
@pingviini @sun i specifically chose "immigrant" because it's somewhat unexpected, and most affluent white people wouldn't choose to call themselves that, despite the term being accurate in the literal reading. it's also somewhat in tension with acknowledging the struggle of people who had it harder than me, but that's what this whole question is about.
i don't know what that bit about hegemonic discourse is supposed to mean. i don't really care about that.

@grillchen @sun that's a pretty decent and obvious in hindsight compromise, actually. thanks.
@sun that's exactly the train of thought that led me to this question. i'll say this: i haven't encountered anyone who made that assumption and then treated me like someone who was "stealing valor". i'll probably cross that bridge when i get to it, if ever.
@sun calling myself a "white immigrant" in my bio might read kinda strange is what i'm thinking
@subnetter i am employed and have stability, though.
@sun what other ways would that be?
i have a question. anyone is welcome to answer, though i'd especially appreciate POVs from immigrants with a visibly different ethnicity from the majority of their country of residence.
i moved from germany to france. no one here can tell i'm from germany until i open my mouth and speak somewhat broken french. should i call myself an immigrant on this platform? i feel like that term implies things about me that aren't necessarily true, but at the same time i do not want to call myself an "expat" because i don't want to put myself above anyone else who came to this country.
i am asking for opinions here, not dictionary definitions.

@zonk nah u just need an algorithm graft. i got dutch femboy furries, exquisite brainrot, dog vids and weird uncommon mammals.
@7666 i have a super gay boomer opinion on that whole issue: the original rainbow flag is fine and represents the entire queer community perfectly fine. the progress flag seems like something you'd make up as a joke about leftist purity spirals but for some reason it actually exists
y'all use wiggets on yer desked tops?
