Hahaha more kelvin is cooler

I agree that aboriginal treatment of women was often horrific, but when it comes to sorcery, you have to understand that the white people’s idea of reality simply wasn’t present in precolonial Australia. Singing was and continues to be a serious issue with serious consequences, and if someone has good reason to believe sorcery was used in the carrying out of a murder, they should be able to present that evidence to the local authorities (the tribe elders) and seek payback.

Payback is a much more humane approach to criminal punishment than the white people’s prison system. White people lock a lad up for years and destroy his relationship to his community, so as often as not he’s forced to commit crimes again to survive. Payback is quick and simple, and once it’s done, the victim is expected to forgive the criminal. No bloody cycles of revenge, no more hard feelings. It’s exactly the opposite of the “tribalism” we see in white society, with ancient blood feuds between different groups. This is just another example of white people assuming their social flaws are human nature, and that they are somehow the best at rising above it. Projection, in other words.

As you read in the excerpt I shared, aboriginal tribes would go to war, and the leaders would instruct the warriors to avoid shedding blood. And if no blood was spilled, it would be considered a great victory. Look at the Crusades and tell Me what we’ve discussed today fits your idea of “tribalism” better than white people’s greatest “accomplishments”. The truth is, the realists are more militant in their quest to destroy opposing social groups than any tribe.

People would dedicate their pages to whatever interested them

I did that a few years ago. Check out https://soulism.net/, it’s got those old internet vibes. I programmed it in raw HTML, JS, and CSS. The text expander is done with DOM calls, no framework.

I dunno what to tell you, man. Tribes are good and tribalism isn’t as warlike as the turn of phrase implies. You’ve seen the numbers. The international legal structure was engineered to prevent bloody wars between tribes. It was like the UN, but actually effective.

There is no prison for billionaires. Look at New York v. Trump. The only way to fix this mess is a revolution, AKA civil war.

Ĝi ne havas Esperanton :(

I think the question is about Java servers

I used to use Duolingo, but they enshittified, so now I use Drops. They’ve got plenty of problems, but they let Me choose which vocabulary to learn. I jumped straight into the Pride topics after revising the basics

Mi lernas Esperanton! Mi faris la kviran Esperantan komunomon, !glat@multiverse.soulism.net! Se vi povas legi ĉi tiu, venu paroli!

I’m the same. I played Watch_Dogs, I know what the Bellwether is. I’m not giving them that data.

Getting used to a new UI can be stressful and taxing to the audhd brain. If it’s your own choice that stress and effort can be fun, it can be an adventure. But if you perceive the world around you to be forcing you into it, it feels like being attacked. Other people forcing you into an exhausting situation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathological_demand_avoidance

I had a meltdown for most of a day the last time I updated Discord on My phone.

I’ll do you one better. The rich convinced the people that the fundamental nature of reality is both objective and knowable, and that it generally agrees with white people’s existing cultural biases.

And they convinced white people to spread their idea of reality, because believing in a different reality (or unreality) is some kind of moral crime.

And that’s why people hate schizophrenics, for struggling to see reality. That’s why they hate trans people, for ignoring what cis traditions see as real. That’s why they hate abolitionists and suffragetes and socialists. That’s why they hate muslims and indigenous and pagans and twospirit. That’s why they hate anyone who thinks differently than they do. For not conforming to their moralist idea of objective reality.

Despite the quarrels of the past, we have finally – partly through Darmangeat’s work – arrived at a basic idea of the two main types of inter-tribal confrontation that occurred in Indigenous Australia. The most common, devastating warfare seems to have been stealth attacks – raids or kanudaitji (secret or revenge expeditions), for instance in the Western Deserts.40 These were usually small parties of men, but sometimes scores or more, who would sneak deep into enemy territories to commit assassinations or theft (usually of women).41 In contrast to raids there existed what we can call open, regulated battles (some prefer the word “tournaments”), which were much more formalized and lengthy events, involving anywhere from 60 to over 1,500 combatants, drawn from several allied groups.

…

At any rate, battles, raids and duels were intended more as a form of cathartic venting rather than a field of slaughter. In South Australia, an Indigenous Australian informant described what he considered a recent “glorious” (successful) battle. He defined it as successful because “nobody tumble down, only big one yabber [talk]. … My king … say ‘don’t throw spears, only yabber.’”

Even when battles involved very large numbers of warriors, they generally resulted in flesh wounds and very few, if any, deaths – although there were some very violent exceptions, depending on the intensity of the dispute. Raids were more usually fatal, and highly unpredictable (indeed, it was expected that women and children would suffer), but often only the targets were slain.

You don’t need to throw tribes under the bus, you can call it sectarianism.

Tribes were actually pretty good at coexistence. Here in Australia before colonisation, tribes went to war sometimes, and often, nobody died. They had rules for how to conduct war that made it safe. Nations are way more violent than tribes.

I think the government should ban animal agriculture except the most vital medical and scientific uses. Customers should need to prove they have a serious medical disorder that can only be treated with meat in order to buy it. It should be regulated very tightly, the same as medical amphetamines. That’s how we reduce the harm suffered by the animals.

Damn. I hope she isn’t proud of that.
