intellectual pursuits combined with recent-ish DNA test revealed to me that i’m from a very recently dead culture (american yaqui & tarahumara) whose very few aware decedents have been fighting tooth-and-nail to re-cultivate it by patterning themselves after their nearest cousins (mexican yaqui & tarahumara) along with a recent recognition from the american government for the pascua reservation in arizona.

they were literally wiped out by the pogroms carried out by colonial settlers in the american southwestern united states during the 19th and early 20th centuries and it was merely the imaginary line on the map called the mexican border that allowed anything from the culture to survive at all.

if it weren’t for people who rejected colonialist narrative of indigenous people happily becoming mestizos (or americans with Cherokee princess great grandma’s); there would be nothing but a fringe belief and, if it weren’t for DNA tests that heavily bolsters it, that fringe belief would continue to wane into nothingness.

you’d think that 2/3rds of your DNA being tied to a group of people and their genocide occurring less than 2 generations ago would ensure that something of that cultural inheritance would survive, but I’m living & breathing proof that the colonial narrative is MUCH more powerful than any heritage as the older generations of my family continue to strenuously reject both the science and the lore of their true roots.

like kissinger, i’m sure he doesn’t give a rat’s ass about the damage he’s done

both the basque and the catalonians have sought independence and were brutally pushed down by the conservative governments of the very recent past. the current left leaning government has made concessions to keep them on board; but the voting trends for the last 15 years makes it crystal clear that the conservatives will be in power again and both the catalonians and basque are well aware that the the peace will expire in the next election.

most catalonians and basque don’t think so

i bet whatever form california and texas (and maybe new york or florida) end up as would gobble up their significantly weaker/poorer neighbors and both would end up warring with each other at some point.

i’m REALLY feeling like this rn; this 4 quarter project is going to extend into at least 5 at the end of this year.

they’ll just blame Black people for not voting

and also not bother to do shit to help people who are blocked from voting

i want them candied lol

as i mentioned earlier: that content gets ignored on the fediverse, not a single upvote

my idle time is the 10/15 mins between tasks and i retain less than 5% of anything i read within 15 minutes of reading it.

i’ve seen others try, but the fediverse lacks reddit’s niche groups so the content seems to get ignored by the general/generic loving fediverse crowd.

i’ve run into people who did this and i wished for deodorant every single time.

Anyone who is not keeping some cash on the side to buy perfectly good assets (like gold) at bargin prices in the next year or so is crazy.

i’m willing to bet most just can’t afford it or are unaware

me three

i think that’s why the show gives me so much anxiety; it’s too believable

At least that’s in Europe. The US is much further along, it’s easy to see mass violence approaching civil war. Are milita’s on the increase there? I wouldn’t be surprised if they were.

our immigrants are literally rounded up like cattle by rope and kept in cages for a long time w the intent of making it so awful that they won’t come back if they’re healthy enough to try again after dealing with the health issues that normally comes from locking people up.

and the biden administration is expanding on both.

Yeah, if porn is causing you these issues then you need to ask for help.

The rest of us don’t have this issues unless you watch straight pron

It sounds like you’re having difficulty w porn and you should seek help; for the rest of us, it’s a non issue

and ansible along with it. (or atleast any other configuration management language).

When I tried tor it was so painfully slow that I have a difficult time imagining anything using it full time

this one must either have a conscience or is being pressured to subject himself to the law somehow.
