Yeah, but here are my thoughts.

There is so much that is actually happening right now and stuff that is still unconfirmed shouldn't distract us. This should be pursued for sure, but until it becomes actionable, we as people not in the press, should focus on stopping what we can.

I'm sorry friend. I urge you to continue to support the USPS and not give the capitalists your money.

I'm in the opposite situation, FedEx is fucking inept here.

Anyone have an archive link? Gonna go digging for it. Hopefully it's fake or inaccurate, I'd prefer the people up top to just be incompetent

Edit: seems fake to me. The source is just a Facebook post. I'm gonna be skeptical until we can get more information

This is why I prefer Star Trek over Star Wars. Characters in Star Trek, by and large, work their asses off for what they think is right.

Star Wars, you are born a Lord or a peasant and basically accept your lot.

This is a good read that talks about it https://www.salon.com/1999/06/15/brin_main/

Yeah, it was European colonialism with a side of antisemitism. Amazing how it turned out.

I guess I'm saying, instead of building new toll roads, let's use that money to start fixing it.

Well if we can't fund so many roads with taxpayer dollars, maybe we should have less roads and invest in reliable public transport.

We don't have to live in a world paved over with impermeable surfaces that are only for our multiton death machines that help destroy the planet.

Was about to post the same damn thing.

Toll roads piss me the hell off.

Thats a good point. It's a shame the data is gone, but who cares if the topic is dead. It will still make great reading for some bored soul one day

I used to be sad that I couldn't find the same communities here, but I realized I need to be the change.

If I want to chat about something that doesn't exist Ill create a dead community and post in it from time to time. Come watch me grow algae at /c/spirulina

I guess my sticking point is, does it matter if it was intentional? Contact with Europe destroyed them from both accidents and outright malice. It was still genocide even if it was on accident, imo.

We pioneered race science too

Active or not, the Europeans and then the Americans caused the collapse of their civilization.

Imo all deaths are related.

It is truly staggering the extent of the destruction we caused on the natives to this land.

Wiki says 96% of them were killed. That's something like 3.6 million humans were slaughtered.

And most all of their land taken.

It's an injustice in this country that we don't learn about it more and try to atone as best we can.

A pretty fucking transparent power grab. 🤮

I know it doesn't help you, but weed really helped me curb my alcohol use. I'm in the same boat. I self medicate and drink too much. I'm worried about my liver, but I don't drink and drive and only drink beer.

I stupidly have given myself a nicotine addiction with sachets recently that I need to fucking stop. I noticed nicotine makes me grumpy, which is a drastic change for me.

I forgot that chode was there. Holy shit

I'm saying that Russian and US relations at the top are good enough such that we won't go to nuclear war with Russian. Sorry if I was confusing or inaccurate

To be fair, Trump is in Putin's pocket, so I don't think we need the deterrent from that front. There are lots of other nuclear powers that are mad at us now though. Europe (France at least) has nukes and they are not happy with us.

Pretty sure China has them too.

You just said this, but reiterating from why I had heard. Japan designed these to be aircraft carriers and called them helicopter carriers with the intent of converting them when they were needed.
