urban design and how everything is car-centric

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 years ago (1 children)

"If we didn't have such car-centric infrastructure, you'd be able to transport me at much lower cost to you and you'd be less identifiable. I don't know you, so I don't know if you own this van, but if you did that would be ok too. It's not about 'no cars', it's about options."

traditionally in the Philippines, only women could be the magic users / spirit-callers ("babaylan"). however, people born male could become women ("asog") and those women could be babaylan! some notable AMAB babaylan leaders included Dios Buhawi ("Whirlwind God") and Papa Isio ("Isio the Pope"), who led revolutionary insurgencies against Spanish colonial powers; contemporary photos show them in women's clothes but they also had wives, as they were pre-1900s indigenous trans lesbian witch revolutionaries.

fun fact: babaylanes continued to fight the US Army after the surprise US takeover of the Philippines. the spirit-worshipper rebels wore magic charms ("anting-anting") that they believed protected them from bullets, which was somewhat true because cultists with swords successfully ambushed and charged on American positions. the concept of "stopping power" developed specifically to fight tribal warriors (especially "juramentados") who could otherwise take a few bullets and keep charging - the Colt 45, for example, had enough stopping power to immediately incapacitate a target, and the US Army made sure to supply soldiers with them after shifting armies from the Philippine-American War to the Boxer Rebellion

The Mandela effect and the Fruit of the Loom logo

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I am once again convinced the Mandela Effect is a government psyop to retcon history and target anyone who doesn't fall in line and accept the new reality.

I mean,

Fruit of the Loom never had the cornucopia. It must have been the wind.
