the closest thing I can think of is tamil and malayalam

which have the same roots, but a few hundred years of divergence

Rory Alsop

@MarkBuffalo that sounds like the dialects/accents in the UK :-)

Mark Buffalo

@RoryAlsop I talked to a guy from Scotland once... I understood zero words he said

But that was just one guy. There were plenty of other scots I could understand

silverpenguin

@RoryAlsop thats why the englishman, the irishman and the scotsman keep walking into pubs... getting drunk is the only way we can understand each other

Rory Alsop

@MarkBuffalo lol - @RоryMcCune has posted some excellent guides to the language spoken in Glasgow and that side of the country :-)

Mark Buffalo

(I have family in Scotland too)

Rory Alsop

16:07

@MarkBuffalo You'd easily understand me...until I speak in the Orcadian dialect

then most Scots can't

silverpenguin

my father is a laird of Scotland

Mark Buffalo

@RoryAlsop Orcadian? So you're an orc?

Rory Alsop

@silverpenguin did he buy one of the plots of land? Or is properly a laird?

@MarkBuffalo ...erm...yeah

silverpenguin

@RoryAlsop yes xD i bought it for his birthday xD

Rory Alsop

@silverpenguin lol

@RoryAlsop I would have had to shout at the man in the photo on top of the cliff... either hurry up and do it im trying to take a picture or dont do it you have everything to live for... something inappropriate of course

Rory Alsop

@silverpenguin Climbers do like to pose for scale :-)

Iszi

16:17

@MarkBuffalo So, there's tribes that require as little as 1/32 BQ for you to qualify as a member and some that require just one recognized tribal member in your entire family tree? Interesting.

silverpenguin

@RoryAlsop im terrible with climbing photos... I tried to take one of me at the summit of mt fuji... but I ended up un able to see anything other than my self

Rory Alsop

@silverpenguin I tend to photograph anything except me - I have a real dislike of selfies

Iszi

@silverpenguin That's not a photography problem, that's a psychology problem. I think they call it Narcissism.

silverpenguin

@Iszi s/narcissism/sexiness

Iszi

@silverpenguin Yeah, I think that actually just further demonstrates my point.

silverpenguin

16:19

@RoryAlsop me too but i needed proof that i made it lol

Mark Buffalo

@Iszi This is racism

On the rez, if you don't have high-enough blood quantum, people look down on you

"blonde, quarter-blood, son of a bitch"

They believe their quantum makes them superior

silverpenguin

@MarkBuffalo do they all have to get tattoos of the dark mark?

Rory Alsop

@silverpenguin that's where I was thinking of similarities :-)

Mark Buffalo

heh, no

silverpenguin

@Ohnana montana

Mark Buffalo

16:22

and if you're on the census committee, you can adjust your blood quantum

Raise it if you want, make yourself 100%

Iszi

@MarkBuffalo In a certain respect, it is. But there are so many laws that pertain to racial "minorities" - and to specific races - that it becomes necessary to draw a line somewhere.

silverpenguin

@MarkBuffalo what .... people are dumb... I hate people

Ohnana

@Iszi well, after President Jackson happened, i think 1/32 is the best you can get sometimes :\

Iszi

It's really a stupid thing here in America. (Are we even unique in this?) In order to prevent, or curb the effects of, unjust racial discrimination we have laws that actually end up promoting it - just in reverse.

Mark Buffalo

Also, you can adjust other people's blood quantum and expel them from the tribe to deny them benefits/memberships, even federally-bestowed benefits

This happens in larger tribes where more money is at stake, or they simply don't like you

It allows the council members to get a bigger cut of the check.

Ohnana

16:26

@Iszi overcompensation \o/

Mark Buffalo

littlewolf.us/Bloodquantum.html

Iszi

@MarkBuffalo The bit about federally-bestowed benefits is just plain stupid. The governing body granting a benefit should be the sole body capable of determining (and affecting, if that's possible) qualifications for it.

Mark Buffalo

But the leadership wants to be self-governed, even if they do a terrible job at it.

Ohnana

@MarkBuffalo this is just mind-boggling

Mark Buffalo

> Of all the cultures that exist in the United States, Indians are the
only ones who have to have membership cards to prove their
ethnicity.

Ohnana

16:29

who the hell thought they could legislate racial lines

Iszi

What I mean is: If the U.S. federal government is granting a benefit, then they should be the only organization who draws the lines to determine who gets it. And they should also be the only organization capable of affecting an individual's ability to qualify (if it can be affected by a government at all, which - at an individual level - should be impossible).

@Ohnana Same folks who probably thought they could legislate gender lines? (Runs from blast zone.)

Ohnana

@Iszi i see your logic

/shakes fist at PA government

Mark Buffalo

@Iszi agreed

Also, we have racist / unfair / nepotism-based hiring practices

"We're hiring for X job. Indians will be considered first. Oh, I mean our family and friends first... then anyone else."

Imagine doing that in the real world (America). "We're hiring for X job. Our hiring preference is white males. If we can't find white males, we'll extend this to white females... blacks last."

Ohnana

@MarkBuffalo ...i'm pretty sure that still happens

like, not to be all edgy and shit but the tech sector has had serious issues with that

Mark Buffalo

Do they publicly state that, though?

Iszi

16:34

@MarkBuffalo Wonder what would happen if you ran for President with a commitment to abolish all laws granting sovereignty to Indian reservations.

Mark Buffalo

We publicly state that we hire Indians first. It's right there on the job board

@Iszi I'd do that. I'd totally 100% do that.

but Indians would hate me

Ohnana

@MarkBuffalo true, they do have to be hush hush for it

Mark Buffalo

Their children would love me after they get jobs, and have a better life

David Freitag

@RoryAlsop Niiiiice.... and people ask why I don't drink city water.

Iszi

@MarkBuffalo Yeah, but what's the percentage of the active voting population that you'd lose with that?

Mark Buffalo

16:36

@Iszi I might actually run on this platform just to bring attention to all the issues on the rez, on the national level

David Freitag

It's 6°C and pouring outside.

Iszi

@MarkBuffalo A little late to join for this round, I think. Otherwise, I'd say "Go for it - I wanna see what The Donald has to say about this!"

Mark Buffalo

David Freitag

On some level I think nepotism isn't a bad thing

@TheBro21 No, the site's fallen over at the moment.

@Ohnana I have seen the deleted pages, but this one was different, so definitely this SE sites down

David Freitag

@Ohnana What about when it's your own question?

Ohnana

i saw one of the SE devs having a minor vent on twitter this morning, i think he hosed something up :OOO

@DavidFreitag same thing i think

TheBro21

@DavidFreitag AFAIK, when you delete your own question, you see it in pink, but I am unsure of that. Or it disappears from the main page

David Freitag

@Ohnana Really? You don't get to view your deleted question with the opportunity to edit it and try for reopen?

Ohnana

16:45

@DavidFreitag if it's been deleted, it's utter garbage that no editing can save

delete == try again fool

@TildalWave Pretty sure that's because MSE is hosted differently

SmokeDispenser

Is SO the only one with changing images?

Thomas Pornin

@Iszi That's the snag: the US federal government is not granting a benefit, but a compensation for past wrongs.

Ohnana

@SmokeDispenser are you refresh hammering the error page? you're the worst kind of person

Xander

@SmokeDispenser Yes, AFAIK.

SmokeDispenser

@Ohnana no. I came to realize SO had different images some time ago.

Xander

David Freitag

@Xander Fixed?

SmokeDispenser

TildalWave

@MarkBuffalo See, I know I'm late to this conversation, but I definitely don't see this. SE, as a whole, is actually doing a whole lot of things to ensure valuable contributors stay. That doesn't mean there aren't individual cock-ups and things that just don't work (tm) but on the whole I think they are doing the right things.

Iszi

I haven't paid much attention to the behind-the-scenes machinations of SE lately, but I'd hope at least it's better than the Atwood days.

kalina

@RoryAlsop bla bla bla you sound like you've been converted

Mark Buffalo

18:42

@RoryAlsop I guess I meant SO

On SO, on a previous account, I once had my post deleted by a mod who then used the content of my answer to propose his answer... and he began berating me in the comments

Rory Alsop

@kalina there was never any conversion. I do think the way you have been treated isn't right, but I don't think SE has ever been evil

@MarkBuffalo individual mods - sure. Humans with power going to their heads.

Mark Buffalo

then I would have people who replied to me and insulted me, but who didn't offer any advice

Rory Alsop

@kalina I've always just been treated well by most folks, met some people I am happy I have met, enjoy my SE experience

SE's indifference to the goings on that resulted in me forming my opinions the way I did is hardly saintly

Mark Buffalo

I like SE in general, but stay away from SO. Don't usually need it anyway

Rory Alsop

In fact the only really horrible folks were horrible specifically because I am a mod, so it doesn't really impact me too much

Rory Alsop

@kalina pffffft

but really it was the fact I got banned for complaining about their indifference that really bothered me

Mark Buffalo

@kalina That's screwed up.

@Richard You don't particularly seem to be enjoying yourself here, so I'll note that no one is forcing you to use SE chat. However, trying to lure people into sketchy off-site chatrooms isn't kosher. Don't do that again.

Rory Alsop

Some folks cope well with it, others not so much - they take it very personally

David Freitag

Seems like that's what got him in the end.

kalina

boo hoo, SE not happy with people luring others off the site

obvious sign that they're not confident in their chat offerings

Iszi

TIL (thanks to @SmokeDispenser):

The German letter ß is called the "sharf S" - in English, "sharp S".

According to Duden (German equivalent of OED), "sharf" has some 20 or so different meanings. Among these, it is also a colloquialism for "horny".

So, in a sense, it could rightly be said that the German alphabet actually has a horny letter in it - ß.

Of course this comes from the language natively spoken by Freud.

kalina

@RoryAlsop you know, the vast majority of the time I am merely being misunderstood

@kalina I liked the second one. It was only the third that really let the trilogy down.

@Xander tbh the second two are a good standalone movie

but they're hardly sequels to superman from the ending of the first one

who is "going to show these people what you don't want them to see"
