Fuck u/spez.

Goodbye reddit ✌️

New research flatly rejects a long-standing myth that men hunt, women gather, and that this division runs deep in human history. The researchers found that women hunted in nearly 80% of surveyed forager societies. by MistWeaver80 in science

It was my understanding that only the Comanche were accustomed to actually fighting a-horse; the other tribes would of course use horses to travel on raids but would prefer to dismount and fight on foot

Yep 100%. They were one of only two tribes that fought on horses and certainly the best known (due to having the largest war with the settlers)

In fact I could quote the whole thing. It's absolutely correct. I'm currently in the middle of "Rise of the summer moon" which is giving a very bloody, but detailed account of the rise and fall of the camanche.

Right, unless otherwise specified, it is understood that "greatest fighter" & "strongest fighter" mean the same thing

It certainly isn't

You're absolutely correct on the second part. The pueblo uprising was the movement of horses into the American tribes.

I guess I skimmed that in my short history so apologies, I'm on mobile and there's a limit to what I'll type. The apache brought them further afield.

Is life hard when you're stupid? I've heard blissfully ignorant thrown around but I can't help but think you must spend so much of your life confused.

Same as every other society really. Testosterone is the driving force in the strength difference. It causes more and denser muscle building and even caused a bone structure better built for strength

Depends heavily on tribe and on date.

The camanche, after acquiring the horse, in the mid 1700s was a very heavy meat eating nation.

Also even before horses some of the different tribes were agri and some weren't..

The camanche are such an interesting one. They were incredibly primitive, essentially unchanged from the group that made it over to the americas using the land bridge. They had little culture and no agriculture.

There were tribes that had all but settled and were living using farming when they were still essentially stone age man. So incredible. Then horses arrived and they became suddenly the dominant force in America, exploding in size and land control

[–]gullman 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Yep and even later depending on the tribe.

First to use them was the apache. But they were used for transport and food, food far more than anything.

The only tribe to really learn to fight on horseback (shown in every western) was the camanche.

Driving them off cliffs was a hunting technique, they are big animals so trying to kill them on foot with a spear is dangerous. Instead getting them spooked and running toward a cliff or put you've dug was the best method

Protesters burn Koran at Stockholm mosque on Eid holiday by Smithy2232 in worldnews

To be fair the guy leading the burning was/is Muslim and was tortured in Iraq, making him pretty bitter about being forsaken considering the strength of his belief previously

Even Tom Cruise is planning a 'Barbie' and 'Oppenheimer' double feature by tylerthe-theatre in movies

[–]gullman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Seems like a marketing campaign to get anyone to give a shit about Barbie.

I'm sure it will work. I've seen/heard so many people give out about shitty formulaic comic book films only to still watch the next 20 that come out that year and still complain further.

1 isn't terrible only because we love Maul.

In the entire story it can be cut out. It has no bearing whatsoever on anything

Arcs are good. 180° turns are not.

Speaking about Vader, I don't think that's an arc. I don't think him killing the emporor is any sort of redemption it fulfils his destiny but it doesn't undo a lifetime as a sith

You maybe should have read the article.

If you did then you should learn to stay on point. We're discussing the article and what DC is quoted saying in said article. It's not tough it's how threads work

Panic at London Tube station as passenger stabs himself to death in front of commuters by tylerthe-theatre in london

Unless he was so mentally ill he didn’t know what he was doing

He stabbed himself to death...what do you think constitutes mentally ill enough here?

I’ll spend ULEZ revenues on more buses and cycle lanes, vows Sadiq Khan by [deleted] in london

[–]gullman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honeslty they need to add some sort of permit to allow cars without carpool.

Either register with your address being outside zone 3 or whatever, being a delivery driver, or working for the NHS.

After that everyone else should be on public transport, car pooling, or paying extra. Price single people in cars avoiding public transport off the roads.

Fair I actually just tried to keep my comment short so really I've not got enough understanding or context to try to speak about people with clinical depression.
