[…] forced resettlement from land these people lived on. But this obviously doesn’t mean the land is owned by those people now […]
the subject of this thread is about land that indigenous people who are alive right now had access to before it was turned into a concentration camp right next to their homes.
The research team does not believe the satellite suddenly came back to life for a moment. They suggest it is far more likely that an electrostatic charge built up on the craft and reached a certain point and then discharged. Such discharges have been seen before, the team notes. Another possibility is that the craft was struck by a micrometeoroid, releasing a very small cloud of plasma.
i think it would be more symbolic to extend the rainbow peace flag over it.
growing up, the most common 'counterargument' (read: dismission) to 'global warming' i heard was 'great, i love summer!'
i had to become a singer before i had the lung capacity to sigh hard enough.
my guess is it was trying to get you to help one of its friends or something.
that was my first guess, but it didn't seem like it was leading me anywhere.
i'm a little worried now.
I’d have had a good search around the area befriending crows can actually bring you some benifit like shiny gifts
when i was homeless, i shared my food with a crow. i got them to bring me coins by feeding them double portions when they brought monies.
or in some cases crow bodyguards as they actually recognise individuals as friends etc.
that's my current relationship to the corvids in town. a long time ago i rescued a magpie from two seagulls, and since then all the corvids no longer fly away when i come near them. the magpies even defended me from a seagull one day!
but they otherwise don't approach me, and we don't 'communicate'.
that was my first guess, but after i tried getting back on the path they only kept putting grass on my feet. i tried holding still, backing away, moving toward them, moving back into the grass, making noises, and checked in the bush — it just kept putting grass on me. i didn't immediately see anything. i was afraid of scaring or upsetting them, so i left.
someone else suggested they're a juvenile that doesn't know how to feed themself.
aside from the autotherapeutic, vibes-based and reactionary 'veganism' mentioned here, i've often encountered the misanthropic 'vegan'.
they've typically experienced chronic complex interpersonal trauma and have arrived at some quasiconsequentialist position that animals — as a category representing the 'opposite' of humans, and lacking the same capacity for evil — represents the apex of innocence and morality. they assume anything bad brought upon a human is brought upon themselves, and would see humans collectively punished(/ put into collective suffering) for [insert list of examples of decadence] or as repentance for animal cruelty. it doesn't matter how humans suffer, or that they all suffer the exact same way. it only matters that everyone everywhere is feeling like shit. even better if the suffering is caused by another human, which they warpedly see as some kind of 'irony', so it makes sense they'd promote hateful ideology. at the far end of the spectrum: they dip into ecofascist accelerationism territory.
the reality is that this is an outlet for their hatred for their own (varied) abusers, and their hopes that a ubiquitous suffering will extend far enough to reach even these abusers and bring everyone down to their level.
(i speak a tiny bit from my own past experience)
she's alluding to the fact that these characters — the 'soyjack' and 'gigachad' — are historically, and still actively are, alt-right charicatures. together with their friends, 'tradwife' and 'doomer (girl)': they represent misogynistic, racist, antisemitic, and white supremacist tropes.
this one's for you peepaw r.i.p.

this assumes that:
the natural gas situation wouldn't have been avoided if Europe were more 'competitive'; neither would any other geopolitical situation. instead the EU should have — and is currently — diversifying its domestic energy sources. the EU could also work on energy coöperation and reducing energy usage.
interdependence works for everyone. independence is a destructive mindset.
i have been unironically told by someone who refused to install an adblocker: 'what if i might get an ad for something i want?'
