Acorns are a major source of food, especially fats and proteins, wherever oak trees flourish. Black bears in some regions may get a large portion of their calories from acorns. Reply #hexbear for more bearfax!

Well shit. Last I'd heard it was showing effectiveness in about 85% of cases.

I legit think the reason for the decline of observed effectiveness is that as psych treatment has become more widely available they're running in to a much higher number of people whose symptoms are caused by either more severe traumas or more intractable socio economic circumstances than ssris can overcome.

Yeh. If you mash up acorns and steep them in hot water to leach out the bitter tannins several times, then dry the mash and grind it to a powder you can make protein rich acorn flour, which is probably the source of squirrel girls powers or something.

Might fuck around and make brutal Stardew valley, which is just like regular Stardew valley but the soundtrack is lofi covers of E1M1 and for some reason you harvest everything with a chainsaw.

If all you have is a needle, thread, and old sofas then a fop is a good thing to be

Stay in the surf or we kill you is as about as strict as border policies get these days

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Yeah. People visited them back in the day but they've generally never allowed visitors to come ashore. You have to stay out in the surf or on your boat and they'd come out to greet people even then, it was only a small number of people and the north sentinelese apparently adopted stricter border policy years back and idk if anyone drops by regularly.

I fear only two is government institutions. Treasury, and the Postal Inspectors.

Not gonna watch this but it is normal to bring gifts when you visit people. I'm sure they were shitheads about it but my Xenia brained take is "civilized" people have forgotten all hospitality and are infantilizing some society because they they're different.

One of the things I picked up from anthro is basically the only people in the world who have "limited contact" are the north sentinelese. Everyone else is up to their tits in missionaries, NGO's, government workers, and whatever else. Everyone trades with their neighbors, there are cell phones everywhere.

Okay I did watch a bit of it. Those folks know what a damn cigarette is. No one smokes for the first time without choking or takes pulls off a bottle of liquor easily. Ffs. If anyone can turn up the name of the group I'll poke around google scholar and see if I can find some info on them. The right wing toolbags who did the stunt and shits but don't infantilize the people they visited.

A lot of the angry comments are like this

: “That was a trashy move. Tribal communities are surprisingly healthy and some of them live very long lives. Bringing toxic products to them doesn’t help them.”

Just a lot of extremely patronizing stuff. Indigenous people have all kinds of problems, yeah, but being children who cannot make decisions for themselves isn't one of them. There a lot of s old school white man's burden racism going on in the comments.

A good knife, and you wouldn't need 590£.

Shoes or boots, as others have said.

A good solid power drill if you're like me.

Whatever you use every day, most of the day, get a real solid version of that. Shoes, bedding, office chair, anti fatigue mats, knives, tools.

Dental work, too, though idk how much 500$ will get you.

On the same kind of note, a mattress and good quality linens, or blackout blinds and a humidifier. Anything that improves your sleep is huge.

Wait so could you keep two computers in sync by sending each one half of this bell state thing but with no direct communication between the two synced computers?

 

Not working right now and listening to trueanon talk about selling shirts at trump rallys. Things are going to be insufferable for the next few months, and i'm not working. Should i make some drumpf/brandon merch and try to cash in?

 

Hell to the yeah

 

Because the USSR was "authoritarian" and that makes them right wing.

Political Science is a real field of inquiry and Political Scientists are real scientists who deserve to be taken seriously, and other lies.

big-honk

The shit political scientists say is just baffling. Like whether you like the USSR or not, defining right wing politics as being "authoritarian" is just bizzarely ignorant and weird. And, like, the definition of a nation state is partially an entity which effectively monopolizes the legitimate use of force within it's borders, so what the fuck does authoritarian even mean? Authority is the definition of a state, it's what makes a state a state. Fucks sake.

 

Okay I'll give you a hint...

It involves the dialectic.

And beanis.

Nation states are real if you believe in them!

 

It sounds like Canada is freaking out about consular offices doing consular office stuff. Wtf is going on?

 

Like if it was 1947 and you met an O'Houlihan and the train was out of control and you needed something to tie off the brakes while you jumped in to the snow bank you wouldn't ask O'Houlihan for their knickers because they definitely weren't wearing any, but if you needed a french letter to fix a fuel line you'd definitely ask them.

 

This is a good quick read about the Alaska Native Brotherhood and the decades long legal and political struggle that lead to the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act. IDK how well known the story is, but Alaska natives weren't confined to reservations like most Indigenous people in the Lower 48. However, they weren't given title to their land and resources, either. Starting in ~ the 20s the ANB was formed to press Alaska Native's legal and political rights to their land and resources. The result was teh ANCSA which granted Alaska Natives rights to large segments of their lands organized under regional corporations. It's good to know about.

Tlingit interpretation of the mandaloian. Back in the day the Tlingit used armor made from wooden slats bound with cordage for a very effective protection.

Tlingit people mostly lived in SE Alaska in coastal communities, but they're all over these days. Their are a lot of cool Tlingit artists and artisans out there, definitely worth looking up.
