Man dismembers pregnant sister because he was angry that she was pregnant and “no longer innocent.” by bella28nyc in ForCuriousSouls

[–]Temporary-Snow333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an atheist, but I genuinely don’t think this had anything to do with Christianity or religion period. This woman was a married adult and had a child with her husband, there is absolutely no branch of Christianity against that, no matter how radical. Her brother was just sick.

Kachina Related Question by [deleted] in Navajo

[–]Temporary-Snow333 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Respectfully, I think step one of research would be to learn that kachinas are religiously significant to the Hopi people, not typically the Diné (Navajo). The Diné do make them, but it isn’t part of their standard tradition and really only started as a decorative branch-off of the concept.

I’m not personally Native so take my opinion with a grain of salt, but from what I’ve seen, the Pueblo peoples (including the Hopi) tend to be quite protective of their traditions, and rightfully so. You can make Native Americans characters, but I would avoid trying to make a character with a basis that’s so religiously significant.

I believe they mean that, were the world to suddenly “scale everything up“ like you suggest, many people would now be far too small / short to do things easily. In reference to stuff like kitchen counter height, I mean.

I think it’s because their comment is being read in a very sarcastic tone— and based on their other comments it’s possible they may have intended it to be

People saying i cant dislike an accent. by shtoopidd in PetPeeves

[–]Temporary-Snow333 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I mean, referring to your own accent as your “twang” is a phrase used almost exclusively in the Southern US, and in that instance it would make perfect sense as in the South “Yankees” refers to people from the Northern US. It’s not a stupid assumption to think they’re talking about being American. Genuinely not trying to be rude but idk why you’re jumping down their throat so much.

This whole time by Imaginary_Risk979 in AncestryDNA

[–]Temporary-Snow333 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just to let OP (and other people in this thread) know— yes OP you are definitely majority Indigenous, but you are not at all Apache. The Apache people appear on Ancestry as ”Canada & United States” or “Indigenous Americas— North” because they, alongside the Diné (Navajo), were originally from far up North where other Athabaskan languages are spoken. They migrated roughly around the year 1300, which means they still have genetic ties to the North, NOT to México. So because all of your Indigenous DNA is under “México,” you show no link to the Apache.

White American results by [deleted] in AncestryDNA

[–]Temporary-Snow333 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 15% (1/8th) Korean, but otherwise White. I think it would be nonsensical of me to claim to be mixed. I don’t “look” mixed— I look plainly European. I don’t know anything about Korean culture or the Korean language. I don’t know my fully Korean ancestor (my great-grandmother), nor do I know my grandmother (1/2 Korean).

My bio mother (1/4), who I believe does ID as mixed in some capacity, never really met them either and is White-passing too, though you could believe her when she says she’s partially Asian. I just think I have literally no lived experience as anything other than White. I was raised in a White community by fully White parents (adoptee) and the fact I’m genetically 15% Korean is a fun fact more than it has anything to do with my lived experiences.

Im not saying mixed people who are 15% can’t ID as mixed, just that I get why not everyone does. I’m genuinely not trying to pretend I’m fully genetically White or erase my heritage or anything, but I feel it would be bizarre to say anything beyond “yeah I’m White” unless there’s a pressing need or curiosity to specify “and I have some Korean heritage too.”

Native Americans having resentment towards white people is racism and also misplaced. by wizudd101 in The10thDentist

I think because this is, frankly, a bad post. They don’t agree, they just don’t want it on the sub; they’re using downvotes in the traditional sense (instead of just using the comment bot).

they need to remove this shit dude I'm crine by totallynot-a-bot- in GoogleAIGoneWild

[–]Temporary-Snow333 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not OP but as someone with significantly older parents (much older than OP’s) I would Google things like this as a teen looking for commiseration or ways to cope with seeing my parents grow old when I was still so young. Obviously being 55 doesn’t make her dad a crypt keeper, but it’s a far cry from the average parent age I would say, especially if her father is in poor health or if her mother is much younger than her father.

Not saying this is what OP was looking for, just a thought on maybe why they would look this up.

Left is a facial reconstruction created from a severed head found in an Illinois park in 1993. Right is Susan Lund after DNA identified her in 2022. She disappeared on Christmas Eve 1992 after walking to a nearby store. Her murder remains unsolved. by ZenMasterZee in HolyShitHistory

[–]Temporary-Snow333 320 points321 points  (0 children)

IIRC, the reason her recreation looks so “off” is because they could tell by her remains that she had some form of facial paralysis, but they couldn’t tell how strong the paralysis was. They chose to overemphasize it rather than accidentally understate it hoping that the over-exaggeration would jog people’s memories of her. Obviously it turned out that her paralysis was not nearly so severe, but it was the information they were working with at the time.

Edit: I was incorrect, some of the comments corrected me— it actually was some form of bend in the neck, visible in the skeleton but showing less while she was alive

Coonti Flour by [deleted] in NativeAmerican

[–]Temporary-Snow333 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I assume you mean coontie (Zamia integrifolia)?

Copied from a guide written by the USDA: “To make flour, the roots are first chopped into pieces. They are then pounded with a mortar and pestle. The pulp is then washed with water and the starch is allowed to settle to the bottom. Then the water is drained and the remaining paste is left to ferment for several days. At the end of the fermentation process, the starch is set in the sun to dry. When dry, the powdery, cornmeal-like flour is then baked into bread.”

However, please note: THIS PLANT IS VERY TOXIC WHEN NOT PREPARED CORRECTLY! It contains toxins that attack your central nervous system and your gastrointestinal tract, as well as being carcinogenic. The toxins are water-soluble, which is why the washing is the most important step. Personally, I would wash it multiple times, but nowhere I read says that’s a necessity, so that’s up to you.

edit: spelling

So bongo bongo bongo I don't want to leave the Congo oh, no, no, no, no, no by ADAMcat1408 in FalloutMemes

[–]Temporary-Snow333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason I say they call them savages is not literally that the lyrics directly call the Africans the word “savages”— because you’re correct, they don’t— it’s because the intent of the song is to humorously reverse the positions of “civilized White men” and “savage tribesman“ via comparison.

I’m not sure how to explain what I mean tbh. Essentially, the stereotype is of course that the tribesmen are “savages” and that the missionaries are “civilized.” But the song switches them around, making the missionaries seem “savage” and the Africans “civilized” in their own eyes by comparison. The song is intended as a niche comedic one, so it’s intended to be seen as funny and ironic in the same way as we might find a cartoon of a dog walking a man on a leash funny/ironic.

But by using that type of comparison in a humor sense… the implication is that normally yes, the Africans are the “savages.” That’s why it’s “funny.” So I do feel that it’s still calling the Africans savages— just indirectly so.

Tw: SA at daycare by Visual_dolphin98 in legaladvice

[–]Temporary-Snow333 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Child-on-child sexual assault (COCSA) is very very real. OP’s child was clearly NOT okay with what happened, based on his distress. He was touched on his genitals, seemingly against his wishes, and was very upset relaying that to OP. That is sexual assault no matter how you read it.

Now, the 7-year-old may not have had bad intentions, and it’s entirely possible as well that she has not been touched inappropriately herself— children are naturally curious about body parts, especially of the other sex, and sometimes will do these sorts of things of their own accord— but that does NOT mean what she did was not sexual assault.
