It tended to be that Native Americans would do it in or after battle/fighting an enemy. But in response, colonists, particularly those “settling” the West, started offering standing rewards for every Native Americans scalp people could collect. Many white colonists then ended up scalping every Native Americans they could find, regardless of enmity, and even scalping others as well, such as railroad workers, in order to pass off their scalps as those of Native Americans. All to say that, yes, much like many things, scalping was a tradition of another culture that colonists adopted and took much further.

And their response is literally “you farted!”

Maybe they can’t fly, but no one said chickens can’t be fly

Hippest new bar in town, drinking 6 Michelob ultras in a snowy parking lot

Important that the headline notes both adults AND Republicans support it

This is a political community, not solely a news one. It’s for political commentary and reporting. Especially when it comes to politics, everyone should be reading the source anyway (obviously) and even finding alternate sources to corroborate and test bias etc. It feels ridiculous to say that someone can’t add their political comments to a post in the politics community

Good riddance

Ahh thank you

What is Barold?

Accurate on all counts.

What if you have all of them (minus pods)?

I have some obscure tastes and have been shocked by what I can find on soulseek

A very good point

If only quotes, evidence, and objective reporting had any hope of getting through to his supporters…

Here in the US, a huge population goes straight to their phone any time they have more than 20 unoccupied seconds. It’s just reflex for many, not sure it’s specific to any given country at this point.

Thank you. The hardest part are the people who reached out a few times who I neglected, making it feel much more one-sided. But hopefully looking and paying it forward will help with how I think about the past. That’s a great point and idea.

I can’t stop myself from thinking about the people who have helped me in the past who I have since allowed to grow distant, and with whom I’ve failed to communicate during my tough times (and since, tbh). I don’t have (m)any memories of doing actively cruel things, but my brain won’t let these ones go, and always brings them to mind in the moments where it’s obvious I can do nothing about it. Why?

Certainly not

Fair, low-risk not no risk, but a good buy

And the article you’re commenting on is about their global share of gold. So, rather than just propagandistic, I guess your pro-China rhetoric is also irrelevant here.
