    My cat licked my tofu while i was cutting it. Had various flashbacks of my brother joking about heartworms and had to throw it away from fear of the mighty heartworms devouring my inner organs. FFS what kind of cat licks tofu?

    Anything nerdy loved by nerdy people tho, anything that is loved beyond what is the hype at the moment by enough nerdy people, whether it is considered sexy or not, cool or not, if there is enough nerds that love it, it will live forever. The hype trains usually dont have enough nerds backing its why they die quick hahaha Nerds have loyalty. Its the secret strength of the IDMz. Dwelving in thy basement, in thy bedroom, keeping the IDMz alive. The power of the Nerd.

    Anyone in the IDM scene knows IDM is a dumb name. It mostly used ironically in a non-serious way or as a hieroglyphic appellation it seems to me. I must say i never get tired of the myriad of various jokes on the IDM acronym. It's still just the best. The Intelligent dance music name is so self-serious you just have to mock it. Innuendo Dad Music.

    Feels like we're gonna see lots of these 6-3 insane supreme court rulings...

    https://www.cnbc.com/2022/06/30/-supreme-court-says-epa-lacks-authority-on-climate-standards-for-power-plants.html The Supreme Court on Thursday limited the Environmental Protection Agency’s authority to set standards on climate-changing greenhouse gas emissions for existing power plants. In its 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court said that Congress, not the EPA, has the power to create a broad system of cap-and-trade regulations to limit carbon emissions from existing plants in a bid to transition away from coal to renewable energy sources. The court’s ruling on the case affects the federal government’s authority to set standards for pollutants like carbon dioxide from power plants under the landmark Clean Air Act. The decision is a major setback for the Biden administration’s agenda to combat climate change, specifically the goal to zero out carbon emissions from power plants by 2035 and cut in half the country’s emissions by 2100.

    Get better mate. Did you get tinnitus? no earing loss? If i had one thing to advise is watch out for sudden energy crash upon effort if you felt hardcore fatigue. Happened to me and a few other people i know, you feel normal and boom it hits you again. Will not necessarily happen but it's one thing to watch out. Hopefully you won't get it.

    i watched this one video with geneticists trying to convince everyone that getting old is just an illness like any other and that one day there will be a pill against it... i was like ''this totally doesnt sound like an advertisement for billionaires to give them money for a miracle fountain of youth pill''

    Man the concept of the Jury (citizens randomly selected, to serve justice for a defined amount of time ) should just be extended to all area of politics. Randomly selected citizens of all social backgrounds constantly monitoring every aspect of politics. Watching politicians at every corners. Having no interest in the matters other than duty. Short-medium terms. No voting involved, so no deception, no sale's man politics. Chosen by luck.

    And i am not naive about the modern situation. We just cant go back to the past. We have to play the game with the cards we are dealt. But i dont like the current technological civilization and modern man superiority complex towards any culture less technically advanced.

    Alright, i know i am emotional about this, i will probably overract because i have seen the direct results of colonialism on human beings, people very dear to me and it really is not pretty to say the least. So sorry about that. But am i wrong to think that the classical definition and concept of civilization brings along with it a certain imperialistic definition of progress and evolution? Doesnt The guy with the bigger gun/the bigger boat/the bigger castle gets to define himself as the best/smartest/superior one and the end of the chain of evolution because he built those things? Aren't other cultures too often compared with these dominant narrative terms and scales? And this is still a very real problem right now. I see anthropologists and scientists talking about hunter-gatherers, even if it is done in a very cloaked and almost unconscious way, as somehow less evolved, less capable, less intelligent and less worthy very often. The narrative that technology and industry are the main marker of evolution in a culture, and the things that define them, a marker that overweight things like philosophy, way of living, relationship to nature and other beings, music, art, language etc. is still very much alive right now. How often i hear scientists just insulting so called pre-historic men because they lived maybe more simple lives? The infamous ''go back to live in caves'' line i hear very often. Like if living a simple life in caves would make you instantly inferior.

    Flashback of History books in high school describing entire cultures with two words ''hunter gatherers''. It's just such a lazy attempt at describing complex and varied cultures. I cringe everytime i hear those. And hell, are they used all the time still to this day to put the most reductive framework on many cultures around the world.
  20. thefxbip
    Extremely reductive views of what constitutes a civilization, the worth of civilization or development imo. Very materialistic and technology centered. And very biased indeed.

    I wonder what behavioural patterns/brain anomaly/social construct/biological need, from an evolutionary perspective, is responsible for the compulsive need to collect goods and money and power to the extent it will probably destroy your whole species chances of survival in the next few hundred years. Must be some fuck up with addiction and the brain reward system going on here? It's just so fucking illogical and irrational and against all survival instinct. Wonder how many other species have that behaviour of unstoppable greed until self-destruction. Are we incapable of perceiving threats if they are not immediate and even just a little abstract?

    By the way youve heard of this? : “Within days, the conservative majority on the Supreme Court is expected to hand down a decision that could severely limit the federal government’s authority to reduce carbon dioxide from power plants—pollution that is dangerously heating the planet. But it’s only a start. The case, West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency, is the product of a coordinated, multiyear strategy by Republican attorneys general, conservative legal activists and their funders, several with ties to the oil and coal industries, to use the judicial system to rewrite environmental law, weakening the executive branch’s ability to tackle global warming. Coming up through the federal courts are more climate cases, some featuring novel legal arguments, each carefully selected for its potential to block the government’s ability to regulate industries and businesses that produce greenhouse gases.” https://news.climate.columbia.edu/2022/06/21/the-supreme-court-and-radical-environmental-deregulation/

    My point is: of course things were never perfect, but RIGHT NOW Indigenous voices could help us tackle problems like climate change, destruction of biodiversity and political unrest if we listened to them more.
  24. thefxbip
    Fair enough, humans are gonna be humans. Fucked up shit did happened. But the lands were in near pristine state when europeans arrived. They did take care of the territory. And some of the tribes lived peacefully. But the fact that you are so willing to only talk about indigenous society using words like ''widescale human sacrifice, cannibalism, slavery, large scale genocidal warfare'' and calling it pre/proto-civilization makes me wonder if you are not just a bit biased toward the good ol' ''barbarian uncivilized savages'' excuse to destroyed them. These were not proto-civilizations. They were STRAIGHT UP COMPLETE CIVILIZATIONS. With laws, systems, languages ,cultures and ways of living. You see those things were and are still used to portray indigenous society as deserving no respect. I might be biased, i take notice but so are you.

    One good thing about the Star Wars and Marvel shitfest is that it is showing the world the importance of artistic integrity. Without a good director with a vision, without a good screenwriter that has something to say, Cinema is a just a meaningless videogame cutscene or worse. You cant fake your way into a movie with only special effects and rapid editing.
