@jackyan As far as I know it they didnt have fore and surnames. It depended largely on the tribe how they named, but people knew eachother, the world was much smaller. Names would be things like "Standing Bear" or something roughly translated.

Just a reminder, it is perfectly ok to ridicule or insult an idea, just dont do it to people. But also the flip side to that, be ok with your ideas being mocked, but expect personal respect.

I run into this often, people think im rude cause I will call an idea idiotic and they say "ad hominem is weak, you just called me an idiot" to which I will often reply "No I didnt, I only pointed out you said an idiotic thing, I am sure you have some things to say that arent idiotic too"

@jackyan Sadly there are few natives left who are actually full-blooded, so very few native last names survive.

I am obviously mixed and my last name is not native. But I have great respect for my native side even if it is fractional.

> Wow! You seem like a free speech type, so I assumed you’re familiar with the idea that China or North Korea aren’t allowed to see what’s on the Internet or share porn.

Yes I am aware that china has a firewall.. What you said was:

> The existence of the #GreatFirewall of China is an #orientalist myth

Which seems to suggest the opposite, that it indeed does not exist. But since I've literally seen it doing what it claims to do I can confirm it is not a myth.

While I see why you would say that it just doesnt work. If they have parties then media will focus on which candidate they cover given preference to parties. This in turn requires a candidate to join a party to be electable. This furthermore requires a candidate to be subservient to the party because should they be kicked out of the party they wont get media coverage and again be unelectable.

We have already shown the media do this to silence the many third party candidates we have each year, so we already know its a problem.

@jenny_wu

Huh? I've seen it at work more than once, so not sure what that means.

@realcaseyrollins @LouisIngenthron @robryk

@jenny_wu

Well I certainly would support banning of all political parties in the USA. Only independents should be allowed to run.

@realcaseyrollins @LouisIngenthron @robryk

@jackyan

Oh you didnt mean me putting up with racism towards me. You mean more generally racism in my country.

Yes we got more than enough racism, trust me I dont doubt you and plenty of people expirnece it, including from ChatGPT. I was just confused how ChatGPT could even know your race. You pointed out your last name and now it makes sense.

@bonifartius

Ahh yes, crude and mineral are different in english. Mineral oil is similar to crude in thickness, but it is purified, so it is clear, and has all the lower fractional volatile stuff removed as well. Its usually used as a laxative, topically, or even a lubricant. It has no nutritional value though.

@realcaseyrollins

Honestly some politicians on the level of a saltine running the show sounds like something I'd vote for right about now given my current options :)

@Grandtheftautism @LouisIngenthron @robryk

@realcaseyrollins

Its ok as long as the law is "trump being a jerk should wind him up in jail"... the second it becoems "anyone who is a jerk should go to jail" .. which would have to include people who are jerks towards Trump and his supports... all of a sudden that proposal sounds a lot less appealing :)

@jenny_wu @LouisIngenthron @robryk

@bonifartius

All mineral oil is distilled, some (I dont know) may go through extra levels of cleaning. I do know that some is meant for human consumption, which should be fairly pure. What I dont know is how much cleaning the stuff for human consumption goes through compared to the normal distillate.

But yea all mineral oil is a fractional distillate from the same process that produces gasoline (just a higher temperature fraction than gas)

@black6_

@bonifartius

mineral oils is a distillate process. While I am sure it needs some additional cleaning for the stuff that is fit for humans, it shouldnt have any sort of heavy metals in it. Mercury is the only heavy metal that distills at any reasonable temperature but if that was present it would wind upin a different fraction than the mineral oil.

But yea, regardless im sure there is some additional cleaning and/or processing for the mineral oil intended to be used for humans.

@black6_

@Grandtheftautism

True, or republicans for that matter. The only politician we would have left would be berny with nothing to stop him from collecting all the treasuries money and burning it.

@LouisIngenthron @robryk @realcaseyrollins

@jackyan

> Guess you didnʼt have to put up with this racist stuff in your country!

Why would you think a native american in the USA wouldn't have to deal with it? Probably one of the races that has experienced the most racism considering virtually all my people are murdered at this point and we have handfuls left...

So the answer to my question was "It doesnt know who i am but it does know im not of eurpean descent from my last name and from that can infer racist things"... thats a perfectly fine answer, thank you for explaining your view.

@jenny_wu

That doesnt sound like what he was arguing for at all...

@realcaseyrollins @LouisIngenthron @robryk

@realcaseyrollins

Well more to the point, in order to use the insurrection caluse he would have to actually be found guilty in a court of law, a **federal** court of law, and possibly need to be impeached by congress itself. But regardless someone at a federal level would have to make that ruling.

That said, the 14th amendment specifically says "incite". So assuming they can prove he incited it then they could have a case. But they do have to prove it.
