    I mean if you're org is doing land acknowledgements then it's free to say them as aggressively as they want. Or even better, actually do something about it. For us the passive language came from the local first nation itself so I'm not really gonna question it. I've always read the request to do land acknowledgments as "In case of revolution, we call dibs".

  • Anyone have experience with using morning glory seeds?

    The 420chan /del/ board was a fun read back in my youth so I'll share what I gathered:

    1. Datura (morning glory) is very difficult to dose as the toxins are not evenly distributed throughout the plant. You can take 5 seeds and feel nothing or take two seeds and be gone for two days or worse.
    2. it is a delieriant, not a psychedelic (hence /del/ not /psy/). You will see shit that is not there, think you are in different locations, talk to people who dont exist, etc. It is more like of doing a bunch of benedryl than of shrooms or acid.
    3. It was never described as a "good time". Instead more like some spiritual journey. At best you think youre having a deep conversation with your unborn daughter, when you're really pacing back in forth, leaving a trail of partially chewn doritos on the floor. If you think you're going to chill and listen to some music well actually you're watching family guy for hours, actually the tv has been off this whole time, actually your on your deck and you've broken your favorite bong.

    Have a trip sitter.

  • What's an elegant way of automatically backing up the contents of a large drive to multiple smaller drives that add up to the capacity of the large drive?

    Im going to say that doesnt exist and restoring from it would be a nightmare. You could cobble together a shell or python script that does that though.

    You're better off just getting a drive bay and plugging all the drives in at once as an LVM.

    You could also do the opposite, which is split the 4TB into the different logical volumes. Each the same size as a drive.

    Is the black wolf supposed to mean something? Like if this was a Ukrainian someone would be trying to connect it to some fascist iconography. What's the overlap between Zionist and and other white supremacist aesthetics?

    No one is claiming that Japan would've "just surrendered" if the US "did nothing". The piece your missing is the USSR had finally started attacking and was sweeping the Japanese out of Manchuria. The invasion began 1945-08-09 same day as the second bomb.

    Theres a leftist conspiracy theory that the Japanese high command actually surrendered because of the soviet invasion, not the atom bombs. But surrendered to the US not the USSR, since the US would probably be more favorable. The logic is the US had completely destroyed entire Japanese cities before but that never stopped them. Doing it with just one bomb was new, but thats it. Soviet invasion was basically game over. Holdings in China were doomed. And now they were looking at a joint US-USSR invasion of the home islands. Any general could see that's game over.

    Alas its all a conspiracy theory. It hinges on if a bunch of japanse generals in a closed room decided to lie or not. I think one is on record as saying it was the soviet invasion but others hold to it being the atom bomb.

    Germany and Japan were recruiting child soldiers and suicide bombers by the end of the war. After the US forgave far more of their leaders than they should have, dumped tons of cash into rebuilding them, didn't settle their land, and stopped bombing them.

    The US did build bases on some Japanese islands though and they are indeed pissed at that.

  • From a materialist perspective, why did the the global north, the western global north in particular, become so powerful it could loot the rest of the world with borderline impunity?

    You still need the permanent war though:

    1. Permanent war.
    2. Spain dumps new world gold and silver on the fire.
    3. War intensifies
    4. Capitalism finally emerges
    5. Northern Europeans start colonizing either as capitalist for-profit ventures or to escape capitalism.

    The core reason is you have many small to medium sized states in constant competition. Geography is a factor but its not the entire picture. They militarized first, then they colonized. But they did not militarized for the sake of opening markets. They opened markets so they could continue militarizing.

    You said there were no crops for massive scale farming yet we do massive scale farming with american crops. Also corn was grown at some scale all along the Mississippi and the deep south, thats how you get Cahokia. It wasnt just limited to Mexico.

    The fact that those crops weren't used at such large scale as the Europeans is due to the societal structures of the Americans not the lack of capable plants. Europeans enclosed the commons and privatized land ownership, the Americans didn't. It has nothing to do with the lack of correct plants.

    China would have to be in a permanent waring states period for centuries to develop the debt systems necessary to start capitalism. It had all the resources but none of the motivation. The Mongol Empire had little to do with that, unless you meant "returning China to dynastic rule". Honestly that theory just sounds like chinese nationalist cope.

    Also constant war necessitating more and more complicated systems of debt that both necessitate more war to pay of that debt but also allow financing large naval expeditions to loot not just the new world but the entire Indian ocean. Even after all this they are still in constant conflict with each other so the exploitation of the rest of the world accelerates to keep up.

    Because its literally illegal to support Palestine in Germany. It got written in law decades ago so now every political party must support Israel. Who is going to articulate to them the reality? Online foreigners? Thats just people who never had to face their antisemitism.

    Western and northern Europe had been flooded with German nomads so kingdoms were constantly being carved out and borders were in constant flux. Also in the western roman empire, the pope ruled over Caesar, unlike in the east where it was Ceasar over the pope. This meant these new German kings were constantly jostling for the title of holy roman emperor and back stabbing whoever got it.

    Baltic sea ship building (viking) mixing with Mediterranean ship building led to caravel built ships. The Arabs were just as capable seafaring merchants as the Europeans. But they didn't have systems to finance expeditions around Africa to fuck with Christians like the Portuguese would with them.

  • When the Ukraine war kicked off there were Ukraine flags all over the place. All the lib houses with the "we believe in signs" had it up. Now I'm not surprised they aren't flying Palestinian flags right now, but I haven't seen a single one and I'm in "blue hole" part of the country. I would expect to see something more than the occasional pin or button. It pisses me off that people still have out their sunbleached Ukraine flags while there is a blantant genocide going on. Truly it reveals the liberal libidinal urge for _permission_. Is there a better place to buy a Palestinian flag than amazon? EDIT: I dont expect the same houses flying Ukrainian flags to fly Palestinian flags. I just expect some homes in my city to be flying a Palestinian flag. Its such a blue hole that theres actually a socialist presence. I know there's people who support Palestine here. I'm not worried about a Zionist lynch mob.

    On a long enough timeline they will eventually convince the US government to build a Gundam. Maybe General Dynamics will do it, doesnt matter. Its the inevitable trajectory we are on. The only reason why they haven't yet is the execs dont know what a Gundam is.

    I thought they might just go full genocide. The west has uniformly given them a blank check to do so. Maybe they've got the composure to go through the motions. Maybe they might do the genocide anyways and say "we gave them the choice to run". ![doomer](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/e29727db-5b25-4c11-9d6a-46a0b389e114.png "emoji doomer")

    Investment firms will buy the music rights of famous artists before they die and after they die, the firm will generate "official" and "legal" AI music of that artist. They'll do this with all the famous boomer musicians like Bruce Springer, etc. All other ai music generated from that artist will be banned.

    He's the richest man in the world because thousands of older rich people are giving him their money. No matter how dumb you think he is, there is a vast sector of capital even dumber than him because they believe the stupid shit he sells them. His whole grift is convincing boomers that he's going to do the 1960s sci-fi tech they grew up with but never came real.
