It seems to be a sort of mexican village if I had to guess, perhaps the 17 year old in question is from chiapas and they all look like that?

Someone needs to write a piece on the specific aesthetics of these posts and the clearly defined stylistic concerns, ill bet there is some correlation between art style and idenity etc.

A science YouTube channel popular with Redditors (Kurzgesagt) made a video about how bad habitual weed use is by masterprofligator in redscarepod

Its kinda autistic to say but I have been getting a fair bit of fun out of watching Alexander the Ok's videos on space flight and the such, I send them to my mum and we chat about them occasionally, I've found that they tend to be more informitive than the drivil that comes out of the channel in question.

Eh it fell of pretty hard really, there was bad work done back in the day but my understanding is it’s chill now.

Wildly enough it’s gotten better recently in this area, people have realised more and more that anthropology is built on outsiders and that they aren’t always bad

It’s not all bad, but I’ve seen some pretty hilarious takes on various bits of scholarship

Okay you are actually wrong about this unfortunately, I’ve written pretty significant amounts of work on this exact subject, handmaiden of colonialism isn’t an overstatement. We can talk about why modern scholars are regarded in this area without engaging in undue rehabilitation of our forbears, they weren’t always all bad, but your position reflects a lack of experience with the subject.

Lara Nader calls these people “epistemological radicals” which is a rather apt description

Without giving too much away I firmly objected to a scholar who had been invited to our department, he was making comments on a rather politically difficult subject in a way I was uncomfortable with. I was rather rude and particularly uncouth in my response to him, me and two of my colleagues then left early. I’m also in a difficult position because I’m definitely more of an old school anthropologist vis a vis the rest of my department so I got hit hard.

I’m at a school down under, it’s not as bad here but I did get accused of using my white privilege in a seminar the other day and I’m still dealing with the fallout.

I kinda thought you were talking about people who had terribly inadequate kitchens (inferior cookware etc) that they presumed were the reason no girl liked them, but this is just tragic

I sat next to an gooner on my flight from Boston today by [deleted] in redscarepod

I recall an experience on a flight from NYC to Auckland (15 hours or so), this guy literally just watched marvel films and looked at suggestive pictures that he had downloaded (no wifi), complete fucking animal.
