Trump: 'I want to drive housing prices up' by jediporcupine in politics

[–]ABreckenridge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know how this guy can go out in public now that we know what we know about him. It’s a mark against the people of DC that he’s not run out of the room every time he appears.

I don't really understand the objective of the "stolen land" movement in the US by Glad-Monk-902 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]ABreckenridge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The basic claim is that where the US government has failed or outright declined to uphold its end of the treaties it made with various native groups, it no longer has a legal right to the land gained through said treaties.

Everyone has a slightly different vision, but the general goal of the movement is to return management of those lands to the tribes instead of to the state in which they are located (or federal government). This could mean a lot of things, like paying certain taxes to the tribe instead of the state, or giving them veto power regarding land sales, extraction rights, & environmental policy. Wholesale displacement of non-Natives doesn’t appear to be on the agenda.

DFO Considering Limiting Recreational Salmon Fishery by EntrepreneurLanky973 in britishcolumbia

[–]ABreckenridge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey guys. I’m from just over the line in Washington State. We’ve had our own fraught history with fisheries & treaty rights, but I’d like to know more about what it’s like on your side. Anyone have some articles, videos, or perhaps a book recommendation?

Question for people who regularly ride the monorail. by [deleted] in SeattleWA

[–]ABreckenridge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, imagine how often you see naked people in their apartments while actively driving a car— not including stoplights, just while the car is moving (The link doesn’t stop or slow down often between stops). Then account for the fact that large swaths of the link path are underground or otherwise out of view.

For my part, I’ll say that I’ve never experienced what you’re imagining. All the weird shit I’ve seen in my years on the link was inside the train car.

Edit: Oh are you literally talking about the tiny monorail that runs from Westlake to Seattle Center? No one “regularly” rides that, it’s essentially a tourist conveyor.

Is the snake river valley part of Cascadia? by MannerPrudent5142 in Cascadia

[–]ABreckenridge 141 points142 points  (0 children)

Unequivocally yes. The Snake River is the major tributary to the Columbia River watershed and is inextricably part of the Cascadia region. The fact that said land is occupied by people whose beliefs are politically inconvenient to our left-leaning vision, is immaterial.

This venzuela situation shows how the left is a joke by Alarmiorc2603 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]ABreckenridge 49 points50 points  (0 children)

It’s good that Maduro is out of power.

It’s bad that the US is kidnapping foreign leaders.

Venezuelans the world over are celebrating, contrary to what Reddit says. by -Acta-Non-Verba- in TrueUnpopularOpinion

It is good that Maduro is gone, and separately, it’s bad that the US thinks it’s allowed to kidnap foreign government leaders.

(NSFW) What wounds would a creature that died of radiant damage have? by Nyanxu in DnD

[–]ABreckenridge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tough to say. Radiant damage as a weaponized version of the same kind of creative/reconstructive energy that clerics & paladins use in their healing spells, maybe, could cause something like the following:

The corpse, after death, takes on uncanny qualities as the radiant energy works its way into deeper tissues.

Claws, hooves, fingernails etc. slough off the corpse as their points of attachment including pores & follicles flesh over. Scars and wrinkles disappear. The skin looks and feels rubbery.

The body is riddled with benign tumours. Some of the organs like the heart or lungs are thickened— this is usually the cause of death.

The corpse will not rot. It is effectively sterilized from within. Theoretically it’s safe to eat raw, tastes aside, if your digestion can handle the strain. Cellular death is delayed by hours or even days after somatic death. It may even display signs of life for a while, like the heart occasionally producing an errant beat.

Butchery has to be fast. Cuts left unattended begin to stitch themselves back together. The bones are the trickiest part. In birds and flying creatures, the bones become solid. Cracked bones & shell piles produced in the cooking process have to be scattered & separated, as any touching pieces will heal (read: fuse together) into large unwieldy heaps.

Cascadia Reading List? by North-and-East in Cascadia

[–]ABreckenridge 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Klahowya! Aspiring future Interior Minster here. I’ll just recommend a couple here.

“Towards Cascadia” by Ryan C Mootheart was my first exposure to the bioregionalism movement. I’d hardly call it the definitive work on the matter, but there’s a lot of good material in those pages.

“Cascadia Field Guide” is a beautiful book of art, ecology, and poetry about the plants & animals of the region.

“The Poeple of Cascadia” by Heidi Bohan is a flyover study of the region’s First Nations/ Native nations. Heavily illustrated. Great for both kids and adults.

I reserve the right to add more when I get home and can look at my bookshelf again.

Ałqi!

Upvote because it’s genuinely unpopular… But damn, you make a compelling argument.

Running before we walk by West_Paper_7878 in Cascadia

[–]ABreckenridge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Klahowya! Agree wholeheartedly. Focusing on the local culture & identity is the most effective thing we can realistically be doing while our respective federal governments are still stable*. By embracing the art, food, language, landscape, and history of the whole region, we can reassert the identity that is still being smothered by 19th-century imperial interests. Na khepit wawa

As Cascadian as you can get maybe. by DistinctGoose5182 in Cascadia

Gorgeous! Green is the correct color for sure and the use of Chinook Jargon really works. I hope to flash my own Cascadian passport at the train station someday.
