1/5 can only stop the 4/5 if they don't fight back. So many people have been culturally taught to be run over - through distorted ideas of 'respect' 'politeness' 'order' and more.

They won't let us? No. We won't let them. Get up and defy them. In whatever style suits one best. Economic strikes, go off grid, protest with weapons, join a hacker organization, stop paying taxes, boycott the companies you hate... List goes on. Any one thing might feel like nothing, but together it is everything. Online there's so much hopeless content, it is easy to feel like no one else is mobilizing. But they are and they need every single one of us to take action. It's not important that we have the perfect strategy, it's important that we all defy together.

The people of Texas are gerrymandered to oblivion and this is well documented. They didn't vote for this. Billionaires came to Tx and bought the politicians, maga spread through and removed the old style Rs.

Not that I think anyone should try to run from these problems. They should be faced head on. But, it's important to not blame the wrong people.

Breeds are defined by organizations that determine breed based on lineage, followed by conformation. They do not align across different countries. Dogs have the AKC, CKC in America. They don't follow the same definitions. It also causes lots of issues to classify things like this and leads to bad decision making by lots of people. Even as it is now, there's no clear definition for things like Pit Bulls. There's also a ton of health issues that arise from defining breeds and trying to follow this logic.

Humans are not controlled and bred based on these things so a Breed Standard would not be possible. There is simply a continuous line of people.

Perform a cluster analysis on dogs - they will kind of fall into clusters because we bred selectively for them. But humans, which have not been selectively bred even in smaller geographic regions, would not provide decent clustering results based on race categories.

Without good clustering, whatever groups you make have more inaccuracies than accuracies in your grouped statements. (Border collies are high energy, greyhounds are lazy > 65% true at best) this is because of the insane complexity of DNA and the lack of selective breeding artificially limiting the DNA diversity. Plus other stuff.

 

So there's a lot of info on growing food and whatnot in solarpunk settings. But is there info on medicine? Like, is there anything that's both scientific but DIY on making your own medicine past just basic herbs? But with ingredients you can grow or process yourself?

I'm not very knowledgeable about medicine at all, so I might be missing obvious things.
