From the small amount of research I just did, it looks like either the Conoy or Powhatan tribes could lay claim to the area now known as Washington, D.C.
Could be good to know.
In case you can’t tell, I’m passionate about rationality and critical thinking.
However, I still appreciate a freshly-baked π.

that looks like gummy candy
I just realized Lemmy doesn’t yet have a “Forbidden Snacks” community.
Lots of people responding here are missing your point. If somebody you know voted for Trump is now struggling to understand what’s going on, and they voice this thought to you, take it as an opportunity. You shouldn’t tell them what to do (ie “Don’t watch Fox News”), but rather, follow the Socratic Method to guide them to question their sources. Start small - their entire worldview won’t shatter in one conversation. But if you see cracks forming in their beliefs, that’s something worth fostering.
No, not everybody is going to see the light. It’s important to know your “audience.” If you don’t believe they’re asking in good faith, or if you’re not comfortable engaging with them, then please don’t do it. At the same time, although it would feel really good to throw a We told you so! at them, it’s better saved for rants among like-minds. Responding with such hostility to somebody who already feels used and betrayed isn’t going to help them find their way back to reality.
Remember that we are going to need to be as united as possible on this war against the oligarchs. Whether someone has seen this threat coming for years, or only just now realized what’s going on, it’s not going to matter in the big picture. It’s better to educate than isolate.
Except when it hallucinates, draws from biased sources, or straight-up responds with false information.
I’d rather look through the available links myself and research the direct source things came from. AI isn’t trained to look specifically for factual information. Unfortunately, a lot of people aren’t trained for that, either. But we can still educate ourselves. Relying on a bot is putting one more space between the information you receive and the source that created it.
I’d rather get my information from as close to the original source as possible. Only then can I determine if the source is even worth trusting in the first place.
I went ahead and tried a couple suggestions from this thread. Last time I went to a head shop I asked about hot knives based on your suggestion. I ended up getting this one from Puffco (the price in the store was lower than that on the website, but it’s the same product.)
A hot knife was a fantastic recommendation! It’s simple to use, charges in no time, and is ridiculously easy to keep clean. This is exactly the solution I was looking for. Thank you so much!
I went and tried a couple things from this thread, so I wanted to provide some follow-up in case anybody’s curious.
Freezing concentrate worked great! The texture of a gooey budder became much more like workable sugar. It also became much easier to dose and I noticed no difference in performance (it heated up just as well and provided the same hit.) Thank you for the suggestion!
Bruh, real men use their tough, strong, manly fingers to bore a hole through a chunk of solid rock.
Then they throw the rock away and stick their faces directly into the river current. Bonus points if they catch a fish.

Not really. But after the election, I posted an impassioned rant on a queer social app. As a result, a woman I had been casually messaging on it asked me out. We are a resistance team now (and official girlfriends.)
I guess this was one of those “be yourself” moments that paid off. I hadn’t meant to flirt, but apparently if you declare that you aren’t scared because you’ve always been targeted, and that you refuse to stand down to fascists at any cost, that’s really hot.
It turns out that fighting fascists is the key to a woman’s heart.
Don’t go so easy on him. He lies when his fingers move, too.
Damn, his grievances are real and relatable. He’s clearly fed up with the system, as we all are, and sadly that led him to buy into lies people told him, based on the thin hope that he might have some modicum of power over his situation.
I get it, this system is absolutely oppressive. It’s hard to accept being on the low end of such a massive power imbalance. It doesn’t excuse the sov cit movement, but I definitely feel the pain this guy is going through.
Depending on where and when this picture was taken, it could be because the sand gets too hot otherwise.
I once got a burn on the bottom of my foot after one of my sandals broke on a south Florida beach. It was summer, and I was at least a half mile from where I entered the beach. I stuck to the shore for as long as I could, but eventually I had to walk back across these tiny, burning shards of dry sand with one bare foot. I do not recommend.
Ah, I see someone has been to Hilbert’s Grand Hotel.
How fucking dare you say something so disgustingly perfect
My mom got a food dehydrator so she could make treats for her dogs. It’s slices of fruit or meat, nothing added, just dehydrated. My nephews saw her slicing bananas to make more of the fruit kind one day, and asked it they could have some. She got some that she’d already made out of the fridge and let them try it. They liked it, and even helped her lay out the fresh fruit on the tray to make the next batch. It was cute.
That is, until they went home and proudly announced to their mom, “Grandma let us eat dog food!”
I went ahead and did a search. Apparently there is a community for it, but it has zero posts.
I’m so glad to hear from someone that did actual research about this! Would you mind sharing some of the sources that support your claim about protesters only caring about “feeling morally superior”? I can’t find anything about this, but it sounds like you can help. Was there a study?
The cool thing about Wikipedia is that if you have expertise in a topic and find something incorrect on it, you can edit the page to be more accurate. The trickiest part is finding and adding relevant sources. There’s a learning curve to it, but at least anyone who’s used to writing research papers should have experience with that already.
It starts young, too. These exact same mechanisms are used and reinforced in schools, both by administration and by students.
Bullies thrive on ganging up to attack those who are “different.” Ever wonder why school admin does jack shit about bullying? Part of it is because when a group of kids bullies another for not being like everyone else, they’re reinforcing the administration’s desire for kids to fall in line. A kid who blends in and stays quiet is favored by both groups for the same reasons - the quiet kid doesn’t challenge anyone’s authority.
