I would just challenge you to research some native history. They were savages in the same way the colonists were. In the same way that many conquering people were. Including vikings ,Romans, Chinese, Mongols etc. all in the name of their own religions and ideology. The native were constantly at war with one another over religion and land. They practiced some evil forms of torture some even conducted human sacrifice. And yes they did wipe out each other's culture. If you were not one of their tribe or allies tribe you were an enemy.

Yes the scale is the difference. The US settlers purged them and that was wrong but history shows that any conquering nation probably would have done the same. And any one of these tribes if they had invented the technology to wipe the other tribe out probably would have done the same. Not saying it's right. It's wrong but that's how evolution has driven the human species. The person with the biggest guns and beat technology conquers the most.

I completely agree it's wrong to treat anyone as less. And any current discrimination against these people is evil and wrong. It doesn't change that this post is over simplified and simply an appeal to emotion to get up votes - "white man bad". The US settlers weren't any more or less evil than anyone else and I would wager that the vast majority of them were doing what they thought was the best thing at the time.

And you reply in the same way accusing me of "justifying genocide". If we can't talk about these things with nuance then that's the real problem. We can bring some nuance to this and realize that what happened this is wrong and we can enact policy to change that. We have enough surplus to provide for everyone.

I also think one thing many do not consider in these kinds of talks is where would you fallen in this situation if you were there? If you had to choose between your family, starving to death or killing the "others". Id you refused I'm sure you would have just been another senseless death to the conquering force. I'm sure you would do what you had to do just like millions have in the past. It's really survival of the fittest. We are just completely removed from this empathy because most of us have not starved or been tortured or seen people brutally murdered in front of us.

I know this will get heavily down voted... But as if they didn't kill each other with bows, disease and in the name of religion? This seems pretty universal in history. Idk.

I have this with checking emails at work. I hate when I have a new email and don't know what it's about to say.

Nutty thank you for putting yourself on the list for science.

How do we know they didn't type something more explicit to get the result and just change what's in the search bar? Has anyone verified this?

Wow...same. It was pretty terrible. And soo hot

 

I have an old laptop that I want to use to replace the "smart" features on my living room TV. Can anybody recommend a distro and setup which could act like a dashboard / remote control setup?

I want the PC to auto launch to a menu where I can use something like a remote to keep it convenient for lower tech people in my home. Are there remotes controls for this purpose? Distros?

I appreciate any guidance!

Hope it gets better for you friend. My advice is to try not to tie your identity self worth to your job. Allow yourself to be a normal human. Spend lots of time outside, meditate and deep breath. Praying is also very helpful for your mind. Therapy is good too. Go to a gym that has a sauna. Start with just the sauna if you have to. Then do weightlifting. Try to start cutting out things which mess with dopamine...drugs alcohol porn etc. The sauna and gym will help a lot.

You can do it!

P.s. doing stuff you don't want to do is the start to kinda wanting to do stuff. There is a willpower part of your brain and it's just like a muscle or needs exercise and practice. The. You will get better at doing uncomfortable things which leads to growth.

Spot on. Migration is a major factor in affecting political change anyway.

Some of these comments are so out of touch. The irony is that people who blanket support pro choice will go extinct as they abort more of their children over time or don't reproduce at all (the people above you in this chain). Conservative people don't abort (now by law) - their population will grow. Thus more anti-abortion laws will happen.
