I figured it was a culture thing that I was just unaware existed.
I was thinking:
That too, but is properly shown as Na. Example: NaCl
When you refer to yourself using ethnicity/race, do you typically say Native American, Indian, Indigenous, or do you prefer to specify your ethnic group, what was once referred to as tribe? At least I think tribe has fallen out of favor.
Thanks. Add that to my list. Native American
As someone who is possibly up to 1/64th NA due to uncertainty in my genetic profile lab results, Iād like to say that expecting people to act a certain way because of their bloodline is exactly what our ancestors probably did.
This wisdom of my people I give to you for free, but my somewhat plausible potential NA ancestors probably would have wanted me to make sure Iām making sound financial decisions with my education focus. It is the way.
Usually just āNative.ā Iāve had people ask if Iām, for example, Mexican, so Iāll say, āNo, Iām Native.ā
Iāve presented at conferences (just using as an example of where you might find people from a wide variety of places) and had people afterward tell my peers that they donāt know/have never met a Native person, so in situations where I donāt know the people or where they come from, Iāll probably say Native American to be more clear.
I donāt mind Indian. Itās definitely still what the older generations use. (See: American Indian Movement.) One of my grandmas still refers to people as breeds and skins (half-breeds and redskins). I use it sometimes but not as often as Native. One of my coworkers is from India and was asking me something about where I was from. I almost used the word Indian in our conversation but stopped myself, just cause I figured that could get confusing for her.
I never use the word indigenous unless referring to people from another country, because I donāt know what words are best appropriate there (Native/Indian wouldnāt make any sense when referring to the Sami or whoever). Itās a real word but it seems like one of those politically correct terms thatās only become popular in the past few years, so I tend to avoid it.
Iāll only use the tribal name (Lakota) when talking to people whoād have any clue what Iām talking about. Much of the country still uses the word āSioux,ā a French word, so if I say Lakota to someone from Florida, theyāll probably have no clue what I mean unless theyāre a history buff.
I donāt think of tribe as problematic. Tribe comes to my mind before ethnicity. Most Lakota people will say oyĆ”te, the Lakota word for tribe/nation/a people that most people know, whether or not they speak the language. But we still refer to the ānine tribesā in our state. Now that I think of it, I guess I do see many moving toward ānationsā instead of ātribes.ā That may actually be more politically accurate. They have their own governments and everything.
Feel like I wrote too much. Just wanted to address each term.
Thank you, my uncle.
Haha.
Narcotics Anonymous.
Mostly a room full of dudes trying to bang 3 half dead strippers.
JD Vanceās interview with Rogan just got released
Iām interested.
Nah. Its way skankier than you can imagine.
Yeah, I was being facetious.
I know. 
It is really skanky though.
Then everybody hugs. 
Rogan is so much more relaxed with Vance itās pretty funny.
Iām an hour in and I like Vance more the more I hear him speak. He just seems like a normal guy who is quite intelligent. I agree that Rogan is also a lot more relaxed. Letās see if he tries to get Vance to smoke DMT.
Kamala would only do the show if it was on her terms, which is just silly. Sheās incapable of having a 3 hour conversation that gets filmed because it would completely shatter every media narrative they try to prop up about her.
Just like Bidenās debate.
I really wish she had done The Sean Ryan Show. That would have been an amazing and unique form of self annihilation.
I thought his endorsement of Harris was hilarious.
Like, whose fuckin vote is this swaying?
I think itās quite telling how many neocons have actually supported Kamala.
Tell me youāre part of the corrupt blob without showing me your finances.
All for saleā¦except Trump. And itās exactly why they attack him constantly
The best thing about this election cycle. All decent, thinking people are now on one side.
Trump has RFK Jr. on his team and seems prepared to give him quite a bit of authority, which I think is fantastic. I think Trump will keep him on the right set of rails, but weāll just have to wait and see.
I still have 45 min of the Vance podcast to go through, but I think he nailed it when he pointed out that a lot of people in government and well-connected businesses are afraid that details of their conduct will be made public if Trump wins.
That sure explains why so much of the establishment lined up against Trump the minute he became a serious politician.
Edit: In another reassuring update from Maine, my kid just sent me video of his Uber driver Mohammed expressing his support for Trump.
