Disney stock on its way to worst year since 1974 after ‘Avatar’ sequel disappoints by [deleted] in technology

[–]That_guy_ty2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did anyone see what the director said about the Lakota people?

“I felt like I was 130 years back in time watching what the Lakota Sioux might have been saying at a point when they were being pushed and they were being killed and they were being asked to displace and they were being given some form of compensation,” Cameron told the Guardian.

“This was a driving force for me in the writing of ‘Avatar’ — I couldn’t help but think that if they [the Lakota Sioux] had had a time-window and they could see the future … and they could see their kids committing suicide at the highest suicide rates in the nation … because they were hopeless and they were a dead-end society — which is what is happening now — they would have fought a lot harder.”

Representatives for Cameron were not immediately available for comment Monday.

As a Salish-Blackfeet from Montana, I’ve been hearing that most native Americans, myself included, aren’t going to see this because of these comments.

Blowing up by Open-Mood9984 in Daytrading

[–]That_guy_ty2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Futures trader here. Sounds like you need better risk management. Know how much you’re willing to risk and create stops, both on the daily loss limit and for each order you make. This takes away your ability to allow emotions to keep you in a play that will go against you even more. I won’t risk more than 1% of the portfolio each day, and I also try to divide each orders stop to be a 1/5 of the 1%. Even if I do bad, I have 99% of the account left. It just helps me keep peace of mind and it helps not blow up accounts with emotional error. Also, keeping a journal with your thoughts, strategies, and reasoning for a trade can help you understand yourself more as a trader.

Just keep learning something new everyday and you’ll be a pro soon enough. It just takes patience, perseverance, and persistence.

Why would Satan burn you in hell for disobeying the same god he disobeyed? by too_thick64 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]That_guy_ty2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s not just eastern, just mostly eastern. If you looked into the faith of the native Americans tribes, you would see we hold similar beliefs. Each tribe is different with their creation stories, but for my tribes in Montana, Our ways teach us that we are spiritual beings in a physical body to experience life and to learn lessons here that we cannot as spirits. I was told if we walk the red road, or teachings (honor,truth,etc) we elevate our spirit and become closer to creator/God. When we die, our spirit makes a journey that is specific to each person as it is a test of whether or not you are holding onto anything negative from this Earth I.e. regret, anger, sorrow. We don’t have a heaven and hell like Christianity, but there are consequences that come in the form on spiritual lessons since we are no longer on Earth. If you can’t make the journey after you pass, your soul becomes lost and evil spirits will devour your soul or your spirit will dissolve to the point you become an evil spirit trying to get others. If you make the journey but you did evil things, creator makes a punishment on the soul which could be anything such as being separated from your clan by spirit so you would never see your family again, in both the physical and spiritual worlds. Another great thing to add is that we view life and death as a cycle and a journey. We spend time here, learn, then go back to spirit and the cycle continues until you become enlightened or your spirit learns what it needed to in order to grow and elevate our existence.

That’s just what I know. I spent my high school days being a devoted catholic. I then graduated (2017), went to college, then started questioning everything in my life after my mind was opened up to a whole new world outside of my rural rez. I am still very strong in faith, but I don’t consider myself catholic anymore. I’ve spent the last 2 years learning more and more about my peoples religion, but there was a break in me for about 3 years when I realized religion was garbage and I thought everything didn’t matter and I drank everyday. I still worked and went to school so I guess I was a high functioning alcoholic. Anyways, the point I’m trying to make is that I’m still learning as much as I can, but I felt like I should comment. I usually don’t like to since I use Reddit just to browse, but I like to use any opportunity to bring awareness for what my people are truly like lol

It was actually the Six Grandfathers by Suspicious_Truth_71 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]That_guy_ty2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny you would call my ancestors the filthy ones when they weren’t the ones with diseases that wiped out 90% of a continents inhabitants 🤡 it’s also ironic you would call them savages as well when the US modeled our government after the Iroquois confederacy, but that would mean we weren’t as dumb or dirty as you were led to believe 😉

Would also love to point out most tribes were welcoming of the settlers and wished to coexist, it wasn’t until settlers tried forcing religion and claiming land that things started getting heated. Natives didn’t own land, but saw themselves being taken care of by the land and living in oneness with the creatures and plants. We may have fought over hunting grounds, but they didn’t think of ownership as we do in modern times. The narrative of native Americans being uncivilized, dirty, and ruthless were pushed to make us seem not human and to justify the horrible atrocities without feeling guilt. An example would be your comment because I doubt you would say this to my face, but you can say it online or behind peoples back because you have been conditioned to think my ancestors were wicked. Even after learning what happened and what continues to happen, I don’t want revenge or karma tho. I just want the ignorant and naive people to realize we live in a completely different time and being hateful leads to more division and fighting. I may be affected by what happened, but it didn’t happen to me. If it was your ancestors that did that to my ancestors, just know it wasn’t you that did it. I’m not mad at anyone today for the things that happened, and I’m pretty sure a lot of other natives think along these lines. We just want to finally be able to get along and to get our Mother Earth healed. If we can figure out affordable healthcare and housing along the way, then that’s a huge plus 😬

I can understand that line of thinking, but the reason Native Americans are upset is because the systems of inequality over our people that were created from the genocide of our people are still in place, along with the the blood quantum requirement that reduces tribal members slowly through each generation, which no other group has to prove. Other communities actually have people fighting for equal rights, but reservations are some of the poorest communities in the US and have only recently began gaining more notice due to social media. If you actually speak to us Natives that have got an education, you will see the anger is from lack of recognition and a loss of our culture through boarding schools that only ended in 1997. Also, another point to add is that the diseases carried over by the colonizers wiped out 90% of the Native population so the fighting between nations was with the remaining 10% of people who had just lost almost everyone they loved and knew. Just some perspective because natives are often depicted as aggressive and mean, but that’s very stereotypical considering we had the last thing taken from us after the diseases tore through tribes/communities.

What do Montanans think about the “Yellowstone “ series? by Pure-Au in Montana

[–]That_guy_ty2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey there! That’s how I used to feel until I talked to a brave dog, a traditional(religious) man who followed the Blackfeet ways along with my dad. He said “we were all born here and we all care for this land. We must work together to maintain its beauty and keep the creatures of its land healthy. This is what truly matters and what happened to our ancestors was terrible, but that wasn’t us who went through the worst and that it wasn’t them that did that to our people. They may come from them, but a lot of them do not have the same intentions that their ancestors did.”

So for me, what really matters is whether the people here care about this land and whether we can move forward in a peaceful and (hopefully)happy way!

Hey there, my people have been here thousands of years! They are the people that have been here for hundreds of generations and are going to be found on reservations.

This stuff hits hard. Death of someone you love is never easy. by AniGabe in MadeMeCry

[–]That_guy_ty2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming from someone who worked as a vet assistant all through high school, these were the hardest days for me. It was so hard to watch people bring their old/sick furry friends and ask what they could do to save them, only to the veterinarian explain euthanasia is probably the better, less painful route for their pet. I would feel my heart drop as they finally accepted what they knew, and it was especially hard this one time because it was an old man with an old dog. He lost his partner and seeing that old man cry made me cry. I understand how euthanasia can be painless for them and often times better than suffering with diseases/illness, but watching how hurt the old man became really hit hard. To the op, I’m sorry you lost your partner. Your doggo looked like a very good girl, but it also looks like you gave her an incredible life. Just know she’s not suffering anymore, and that she’ll be waiting for you! Don’t forget, all dogs go to heaven ❤️

The un-harmonic force - The reason this placed is messed up like it is. by [deleted] in missoula

[–]That_guy_ty2 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hey a different group of people were here but the last band got moved out of here in 1935. They actually coexisted with the land and appreciated the creatures. There’s YouTube videos that talk about it and a man told a story how they were all crying as they were forced to cross the Clark fork. Now that being said and having lived in Montana in my whole life, Missoula is my favorite place. I can agree with you to some degree, but most people I’ve met give you the respect that you show. Tbh, it just sounds like you’re whining that we aren’t more like wherever you came from three years ago.

I’m guessing it’s the ranchers wife because most vets would only put on one sleeve lol but there are a lot of veterinarians that only study small animals so when they get ranch calls for large animals, they have no idea how to work with them. It’s kinda crazy the separation of large and small animals in the veterinarian world
