One bit of difference between forests in the UK and those in the western US and parts of Australia is that the forests in the second group included fires as part of the lifecycle of the forest. The release of seeds occurs after a fire and some trees are able to resist fires of a certain temperature.

The problem is that white settlers saw the fires as bad, doing a really good job at preventing forest fires. The problem with doing that is that the forests now have a far higher energy density than they were evolved for, so modern fires are a lot worse.

Trump’s anti-immigration push isn’t going to help things, but the USA has an oddly high fertility ratio given its wealth. It will be a problem, but not as bad as other countries.

I don’t think it will work. Obama got a Nobel Peace Prize for not being W Bush and then the USA elected Trump twice.

Probably only about an inch.

They’re posting them in a defined location called “No Stupid Questions”. I’d rather they get posted here then other locations.

Yeah, it does. It isn’t a perfect descriptor and it varies over time. However, if you are taking about a group self identifying as an ethnicity that other groups could recognize, you could probably get a timeframe of a dance that they started to do within a few years. You’re obviously not going to get an exact date and time, but you can get an approximate idea in years as to when a dance when from not being done to being done.

I’m talking about a self descriptor, not a genetic test. If a group of people self identified as “White”, what group would I expect to see.

This is an unpopular opinion I agree with.

At this point, I’d look for a new job. They’re looking for a reason to fire you.

People on Lemmy need to make assumptions so they can feel superior to you as they make you a straw man.

White people did?

Forgive my American centrism, but what other culture would use the term “white” when discussing a group in relation to Black and Afro-Carribean cultural elements?

I’ve seen somewhat similar responses to questions I’ve asked, so you aren’t alone. That said, your question is well within what this place is about. Also, this is Lemmy; downvotes really don’t matter as much as Reddit.

Likely mid 2000’s at the earliest. Southern rap was really the first popular genre to put the dance in music videos, which is where white people would have learned it.

Yeah, but it is an appropriate question as white people didn’t really twerk until the name was created.

There was a meme online of “drunk or a toddler”, which is a decent explanation of being drunk. You are still yourself, but your id is far more in control than typical. For some people who self medicate with alcohol (bad idea), they’ll likely describe their drunk selves as a more open and honest version of themselves; in the wine, truth.

He isn’t intentionally portrayed as heroic in the movie, but a lot of MAGA adjacent people have come to see him as heroic.

The problem with Daenerys is that her turn wasn’t well written, so it didn’t feel earned.

So MAGA?

It would be really hard to make the movie today without making the main character MAGA and making the frustration of the main character far more of a farce than it was in the original movie.

Once you make the character MAGA, you’re going to be seen as pushing an agenda no matter what you do.
