  • Dude you need to read up on how native Americans dealt with Europeans and Americans until they were forced on reservations, the black hills were a focal point of war and and while the Lakota Sioux are the current tribe most associated with them in the American cultural zeitgeist the Cheyenne and Arapaho have older links to those hills if I remember correctly. Hell going back to the sale of Manhattan was not the local tribe selling it but their enemy neighbor who sold the land and helped depopulate the island for the Dutch.

    In short native American tribes had conflict and hatreds between themselves and fought eachother to their detriment until there was no other way to go forward than to unite.










  • If you don’t have any savings it will be harder but you and your wife may want to try Ireland or the UK for English language jobs, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia work as well but the cost of living may go up a bit at first. If you are in the US Canada would probably be the easiest and cheapest to move to. If you are able to sit through the ESL equivalent for the respective country’s language the whole world is your oyster, just see which countries have more open immigration policies and fewer human/civil rights violations that has low unemployment that you are interested in moving to for work, south Korea has a program for people to teach English and while that may not be a long term thing you don’t need to speak any Korean when you get there from what I remember.






  • So this just in Tech bro billionaire CEO is just like the others, be it Elon Musk or Steve Jobs they are posers who managed to put out a very persuasive mask of competence and knowledge but in the end they think they know a lot more than they do and are some of the worst people causing long term damage to society. Altman with his backtracking on open source and working for the public good for private gains, Elon Musk with everything he’s ever done, or Steve jobs being directly responsible for the lack or repairability of our own electronics or being able to install what you want on your own smartphone without going through Apple’s walled garden, Bill Gates making it almost impossible for competitors to rise through the 90’s and only now is Linux starting to see a rise in its userbase due to Microsoft’s own stupidity, tech bro CEOs have been the worst.


  • All religion when put in power in a nation does it, you think the IRGC or Israel with the Orthodox Jewish stranglehold on their respective politics in their cou tries are better than the Christian Nationalists in the US? Hell even India has a pretty shitty history with Hindu nationalists starting out with Mahatma Ghandi and his religious zeal leading directly to the bloody conflict and genocides between Pakistan and India when they just got their independence from the British. Religion is and has always been the great divider, and the few times someone with religious convictions tries to use that force for unity with other groups it is coopted and perverted in less than a generation.




  • How often is the moon completely invisible in our night sky? We reflect to the moon the same way the moon reflects light to earth, but that is the visible side, on the other side you have all the stars, gravitational lensing, other planets reflecting to that side of the moon, and even the small amount of luminescence all matter emits. But for easily visible on the dark side I’m pretty sure if there isn’t a small amount of the “dark side of the moon” lit up by the sun that it will appear like a lunar eclipse on earth minus the effect of our atmosphere, or it might be more of a solar eclipse situation and it would just be black with a very bright halo or outline.
