I feel like that’s the only thread of hope right now.

I’ve seen a couple, I’m pretty neutral about it.

People are seriously weird about dead bodies.

Go for the foxes they’ve been breeding in Russia.

They had to pick something other than a Chinese Crested because those ones always win and always will. They know they didn’t pick the ugliest dog. They are just pretending for variety.

Someone’s jelly.

Interesting, I have not heard anything about that.

I think there are some times in civil cases where it does not have to be unanimous as well.

How did this not move to a judgement by supermajority regarding the jury (in the UK 10-2 is an acceptable verdict)?

It does hurt people. When I steal from you, it hurts.

When someone steals from you, you don’t have it anymore. When someone uses your culture, you still have your culture and the full use of it. What that other person is doing, is not stopping you from living your life. No one has stolen anything from you.

No one…

According to Wikipedia the Cowichan learned to knit from Europeans.

I get that being told how to live their lives was very wrong. You’ll note that I’m against that very thing. Everyone has the right to live their lives how they want.

I can tell you not to take something that belongs to me. That is a choice you are able to make, but it is reasonable for me to ask you not to harm me.

Since Native peoples have sovereignty and never agreed to these laws in the first place, I think it’s not even asking for an exception.

Making decisions about who is a relation and can use/perform these things is about preserving cultural ideals regarding ownership/art/etc.

So when you say “make decisions about their culture”, what you really mean is make decisions about how other people can use their culture? Because I would call those two separate things.

I don’t even think those two dresses look that much alike. There are significant differences. For example, the Yellowtail dress is the same pattern on the top and bottom, the other dress has a different pattern on the top than the bottom. IN the middle of the Yellowtail dress is a band that goes all the way around…

You take away their agency to make decisions about their culture.

Where I live, only pizza places deliver, and their service area is smaller than what you can get with UberEats.

Maybe. But that doesn’t change the fact that good guys with guns are the ones who save the day.

I’m not trying to argue that we need less gun control, I’m just pointing out that you are being stupid about good guys with guns.

Which would have been more without them. Guns do actually serve a good purpose sometimes.
