Demanding cites for things that would take you 2 second to look up is lazy

FTR:

The parenthetical in the title was added later by a mod.


I’ve heard the name “Skeletor” for years, but none of those other names mean anything to me; never heard of them.

I have some vague notion now that long ago I probably knew what Skeletor was, or had seen a bit of whatever show he’s from. Now? It’s just a name that suggests a skeleton and a super-hero/monster character.

This next snip is key.

One of the coolest things about the Dope is the huge variety we do have.

Urban or rural, rich or poor, religious or not, US or not, black, white, yellow or red. Straight, gay, male, female, or maybe all three? etc. etc. etc. It’s really amazing to interact with so many different sorts of folks. But we do sorta need to check our pre-conceived notions of homogeneity at the door. And yes, sometimes that leads to a bit of over-explaining for the folks who’re culturally close to ourselves. IMO that’s the better mistake to make.
