I’m so stupid. I saw this yesterday and couldn’t wrap my head around it and moved on. Your comment proves my mind has a blind spot.

I literally only ask for this and people get like that guy lol I’m never sure how to get through to them.
Going through this right now
Yeah. I am Chicano but identify more with my indigenous side and am friends with plenty of Native Americans. I’ve always personally blamed Judeo-Christian thinking. The whole manifest destiny mindset is insane.
I mean read just a piece of how different things were before those religions came to this land.
A second, related factor was the absence of large domestic animals in North America, which meant that instead of the ‘intensive’, ploughing-and-manuring agriculture practised in Europe, Native American farmers used ‘extensive’ techniques, cultivating an area for a few years and then moving on to let the soil recover. Most groups - hunters and plant-gatherers as well as agriculturists - viewed land as a common resource rather than a commodity that could be owned. Tribes and families had the right to hunt, fish or grow crops in defined places, but the concept of a fenced-off parcel of land being the exclusive property of an individual would have been utterly alien to most, if not all, Native Americans. The Indian attitude towards land was part of a broader, more fundamental understanding of reality which underpinned the whole of native life. Although, again, there were enormous local variations in mythology and ritual, some of the essentials of this world-view were shared by many, if not most, cultures. Perhaps the most basic element was the belief in sacred power: the idea that everything in the universe was interconnected and possessed a spiritual force or energy that could affect the lives of ‘the people’ and of all other living things. Gaining power and the aid of powerful beings was absolutely vital: for success in hunting, plentiful crops, good health, thriving children and victory in battle. But power was also dangerous.

Technology@lemmy.world•The 4th Circuit Says Border Agents Can Search Your Phone By Hand, No Suspicion RequiredEnglish
3·9 days agoThe one time cops tried to search my phone (local police not border patrol) I wouldn’t give my pin. They eventually gave it back but they wiped my phone.
Acknowledging isn’t mocking (I am rude)
I’d argue they’re insane for tolerating the stuff
People act like I’m insane when I do this

politics @lemmy.world•In interview, Beshear says he received calls about McConnell 'suggesting he's passed'
1·14 days agoBrother you don’t know what we’re all doing in our private lives. We get on here to discuss. What the fuck is anybody supposed to be able to do on Lemmy? We are here to avoid the craziness out there and have a space for ourselves. I am involved in activism. I am involved in a couple programs locally. People are getting organized man. You are mad because you’re at home doing nothing but insulting people.
Maybe we should get into the field. there’s obviously a low bar.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Official Linux position on LLM usage in kernel development
3·16 days agoYes but AI doesn’t exactly learn like we do. It’s not about being afraid of mistakes. It’s about mistakes being made with no real accountability and a system that cannot critically think the same way a human can. AI can process massive amounts of information faster than us but it cannot apply knowledge the same way we can.
This one actually caught me off guard







Oh thank you for reminding me. Glad to hear it’s doing well
