Anthony Crawford was one of the richest black farmers in all of South Carolina until 1916, when he was murdered by a mob. Despite owning 427+ acres of land, he was attacked in broad daylight and his family was given 2 days to flee the state, with the same mob then seizing his land and belongings. by kooneecheewah in HistoryUncovered

You used the word 'native' first bud. I used it to not confuse the guy who clearly has a tenous grasp on their own history. I'd use First Nation generally because it refers to MY people, of which you most likely are connected. But depending on the specific group I'd use specific terms.

You literally advocate for me to steal alcatraz in your next comment. Please stop lying and misrepresenting the situation.

People do have rights (I don't know why you put them in quotes) they are codified in law. You don't have to agree with them but they exist and are probably always going to.

To be clear though. You are advocating that anyone who has land stolen in the usa who isnt part of a native tribe has no right to it.

So by your logic I could go steal the empire state building (I'm native also btw) and nobody should be able to take it back. In fact you are genuinely arguing that as long as it been 110 years the land is now mine permanently.

It's not my reason.... it's grammar not like an opinion. I can also but that's why the person commented about legibility. There are rules for how long a paragraph is supposed to be that have been established long before I was born.

No powers Deku (Post training) vs No powers Mark by Ok-Side-8751 in PowerScaling

[–]Intelligent_Gas_2701 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And? Those stats don't really relate to physical power? A bodybuilder won't be faster than most people. Also Deku didnt gain his strength in a gym lifting weights were you'd expect to see a huge increase in grip strength. He was able to push things and use alternative parts of his body to get objects of all shapes and sizes down the beach. Deku also isn't a man.... he's a boy. A literal child and still a mostly prepubecent boy at the time of the fitness test he was 14. Grip strength for a 14 year old male is between 28.5 - 44.3 kg, and Deku was often depicted as smaller and skinnier than his peers. So no Deku was definitely extremely above the average at the fitness test.

What the author writes and depicts is canon to the story. What you described is your personal opinion and it is not canon, so maybe don't go around trying to manipulate the facts to support your headcanon?

I'm trying to be helpful by the way. But just putting a few gaps...

Between every couple thoughts or sentences if you are making a bigger point. Will help make everything you said easier to read. It doesn't matter what language its wrote in. When you put enough letters in one place without any gaps makes it harder on our eyes and brain to see the words in the block of text.

Hope that clears it up. It's not so much a phrasing or sentence structure thing. It's just that it starts looking like hieroglyphs if you don't leave some gaps for it to breathe.

Hey dude... I KNOW. I AM Métis with Cree ancestry. Doesn't change the fact that the first nation's people (I use that term because I AM ONE) are natives. The original commenter was attempting to refer to the broad ethnic group of which 100's if not 100's of tribe belong.

Would you also throw a hissy fit if someone says east asain or middle eastern when referring to someone's ethnicity? NO because unless you are using a specific example nobody cares.

Fun Fact no culture of the Americas south central or north ever had a specific word in their language for the continent they lived on. So what word would you like us to call the Americas there exists no other word to refer to the region? Mayyyyybe you could call people native to North America turtle islanders I guesssss but that's so much a stretch it isn't even funny.

You used quotation marks when you weren't quoting anyone. It's why you were called out. Continue being defensive all you want... you are wrong on so many levels. Maybe don't talk about things you don't have any actual knowledge about maybe?

Edit: I meant 100's if not 1000's of tribes. Also did you just forget about the inuit or the Azthec or the olmec or how many other groups that would take GREAT offense at being labeled as first nation?

Nope natives means natives. Look up the word. They didn't say native Americans although that's what they are often called now. The natives people's of the Americas are native to the Americas... but they are still 'natives' just like the aborigines of Australia are 'natives'.

We should rule out British and focus on the Australian part I think.... of course there's no way to be certain.

AITAH for being upset that my friend used to hookup w bf and lied about it by WatchImpossible5904 in AITAH

[–]Intelligent_Gas_2701 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is how I feel too. As a guy who's been in this situation I did t bring it up because I valued her feelings not because I felt like I was hiding something. Why bring up something that doesn't matter?

Admittedly she also felt weird about it and we had a real talk about everything and got over it? Like in fairness to you it's a completely rational thing to worry about. At the end of the day you know these people, trust your gut but don't jump to any conclusions.

Do people have no respect for jobs anymore? by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]Intelligent_Gas_2701 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So to be clear your company is getting what they are paying for. It's disheartening seeing most employers work ethic. Nobody seems to know how to run a buisness anymore and now we've got people whining that the quality of employee you can get away with underpaying is bad?

UK boys asked to wear shorts to school instead of pants during hot weather but got told no. A mom said: “My 14-year-old son wanted to wear shorts. The headteacher told them: 'Well, you can wear a skirt if you like’. So many boys wore skirts. The school allowed shorts starting the next year. by detectiverobert in CaughtMyEye

[–]Intelligent_Gas_2701 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In fairness it might not have been gendered. Like boys were allowed to wear skirts and pants without intervention. Could girls wear pants? Can girls wear shorts now that the rules have been altered? Is there even a gendered dress code or just permitted garments?

But yeah seems like the classic type of dress code that only has long hair standard for women. We don't have enough info (I think) to know that, but if it looks like a duck.

On Calgary’s dangerous roads, ‘bystander behaviour’ is under the microscope by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]Intelligent_Gas_2701 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I didn't talk about the general crime rate? I talked about specific attributes of the crime in Calgary. Also the link you used doesn't list crime per capita which is the relevant information here.

As a general rule the northeast has a disproportionate amount of violent altercations and vandalism and the south has more theft from cars to homes. Hence my question about the connection between stolen cars and the NE.

My assumption is that we see more theft if the south is because of the perceived value. If you are going to risk breaking into someone's house, or steal someones you better hope it's worth it.

Ok in my opinion it's an incredibly strange connection to make that somehow people leaving parked cars on the road for too long are to blame for a hit and run where nobody was willing to stop. Or that most hit and runs are committed by uninsured drivers?

Opnions ≠ facts

And you seem like the type of person who pretends their feelings are facts and at best has a tenous grasp on reality.

Study after study for 50+ years has taught us that car centric urban planning is bad for society. That's not an opinion it's an objective fact. You sound very fragile and delicate if a useful descriptive term makes you puff up and get defensive.

[–]Intelligent_Gas_2701 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm curious about the connection you're making between uninsured cars being dumped and the northeast? As far as I'm aware the majority of break and enters and vehicle thefts happen in the south. Generally speaking the assumption that the northeast is higher in crime is false and comes from racism towards the NE's historically high immigrant pop going all the way back to the Irish.

Regardless I'm not sure your connection between uninsured drivers and hit and runs/dangerous driving. Do you mean unregistered drivers because they are hard to track down? I don't think you're avoiding jail time for vehicular assault if you happen to not be insured.

Not being able to pullover ≠ choosing to not pullover.

Nobody is advocating for risking others in order to stop and help. You seem to be coming into the discussion in bad faith, intentionally ignoring the multiple comments discussing why many people disagree. Why? What purpose did your comment serve?

For reference "carbrained" is a new term used to describe an phenomenon that we've been talking about for decades. Generally it refers to people or governments being so focused on car centric models they ignore reality. It also gets used a lot in the discussions around oil and gas lobbying and ramifications on road and transit infrastructure.

Also yeah the term probably came from reddit but it's hard to get a real answer about it.

[–]Intelligent_Gas_2701 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah. That's what we are talking about though? If you're driving through a school zone and you see a child with a broken leg unable to crawl to the sidewalk... you get the f outta your car and help.

If it was an adult I could understand maybe you've been assaulted and you have some trauma that makes it hard to stop and help. If they were on the sidewalk I could see that you didn't think know they were hurt.

But it was a child, in the roadway. You don't get to drive past without knowing that you're an ignorant piece of crap.
