The difference is "indian" is objectively wrong, whereas "native american" has some semblance of correctness depending on your definition of "native".
There is no fallacious premise that has to be assumed when using the word "native" to refer to indigenous people. Native is quite literally synonymous to aboriginal in this context (i.e., colonization, not citizenship).
I'm sure you'll have other examples of things people refer to incorrectly like "tin foil". The difference is that it's not beyond reasonable doubt that people think some foil is made of tin, or perhaps they think tin and aluminium are the same thing. I seriously doubt anyone thinks "american indians" have any relationship to indians.
I spent a really long time deteriorating my own willingness to put effort into academics both because I fell for the "smart" identity trap, as well as feeling exploited by what continued education would mean. Fortunately it worked out for me, but it was by means of sheer luck and grit.
It's a dangerous cycle of thinking. I still think higher education in the US is absolutely exploitative and increasingly meaningless for non-STEM-related fields (it's also pretty meaningless for the majority of software related work), but the real issue is that I am still far from recovered on my sideways work ethic and fragile self-esteem.
If there's anyone going through this right now, my advice is to remember that your intelligence does not directly translate to everything that you do, and you will experience failure just like anyone else. Also remember that someone "less intelligent" than you who is more focused is going to do better than you in their particular domain. Again, this isn't something to be discouraged by -- 99.99% of people are not the best at anything, you just have to be good enough. The hyperactivity and non-focus has both its upsides and downsides. A jack of all trades is a master of none, although often times better than a master of one.
It's sensible imo. It's the same argument as with politicians.
What could anyone possibly expect out of a company putting lots of money towards a study or a politician? The default assumption should be that the study or politician is now tainted and has a vested interest in benefiting the backing company.
There should be a great big disclaimer on any medical research post that is funded by a processed foods company. What realistically does any company expect other than an outcome where it makes their product more marketable?
Ah brilliant. I suppose we're talking about the minimal decades of testing of people trying to kill themselves with psychedelics and failing miserably, as compared to alcohol, which very easily creates miserable people on the way to liver damage, or things like Tylenol and SSRIs which will kill you or put you into opioid-like withdrawal.
I do not like to consume alcohol. Marijuana (ingested) and LSD are on the menu, however. I'm sure it's ridiculous to you that I would use some critical thinking skills to consider the danger of something that has significant corporate interest in it not being considered harmful (health-wise, and especially behaviorally) and decide to use generally illicit (I live in colorado) substances instead.
I guarantee you people who don't know how to take it easy on alcohol are far more plentiful and FAR more destructive.
Navigation is actually literally the only thing it works well for for me. Most of the artists/albums I listen to have too odd of names for it to do anything useful for music.
It's a shame, because navigation and music are the only things that I would consistently use it for. Those are also the main valuable features of my apple watch tbh.
Google is lightyears ahead on this one. Honestly the only thing I miss from android.
> StackOverflow is where mostly new programmers ask for advice in very specific issues, I would never use it as a source for language popularity or development trends.
this sounds entirely untrue, but I can't prove it.
I'm not a "new programmer" and still use it daily to remember how to do something simple, and maybe every few days with a situation-specific question.
Maybe I'm retarded, but I have to use it multiple times a day to remember how to do very rudimentary things like concatenating arrays in different languages. I assure you my stackoverflow browsing history accurately reflects which languages and technologies I use.
Moreover, I'm paying for software development. The Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 were heavily subsidized and were incredibly good deals. That's long gone.
Now you have two options:
Pay Apple money for a Pixel -- decent device with a 2 year expiration date, still not the level of cohesion of Apple products, and certain to drop in value faster than an iPhone.
Or, get a value device from OnePlus or Xiaomi, still have an inferior experience, and still have out of date software within 2 years.
I spent a few years trying to convince myself that fucking with custom roms that fucked up my stability, GPS, and modem was a worthwhile expenditure of my time. It never worked.
Most retarded comment in the thread, congratulations. Perhaps even the most retarded comment on/. in the past week.
You realize you can apply this argument to essentially anything, right? "Well, AKSHULLY, the incentives or discounts you're receiving on a product that you were already going to buy were factored into price anyway."
The fact of the matter is that when you have the opportunity to take a 0% loan rather than paying upfront, you should always be taking it.
The general interpretation of things like sales tax and property tax is that the lower middle class is much more likely to spend most of their money on groceries and their home than the upper class. I.e., there's a minimum amount of money you have to spend on these things, and the lower middle class spends a larger portion of their income on them. Someone who is wealthy and is still paycheck to paycheck is doing something terribly wrong.
Moreover, I would imagine that the upper middle class benefits far more from taking home more of their paycheck than they would not being charged property tax.
in actuality, it puts the burden on the lower middle class, as these types of things often do.
Sales and property tax are as impactful as whatever percentage of your income you spend on groceries and your house. Who do you think is more likely to spend 90% of their income on groceries and their home, the lower middle class, or the upper class?
It's all finagled so that someone is always making out.
In Texas, property tax is high and income tax is nil. This is all part of the default upper class scheme to charge as much regressive tax (usually property and sales tax) as possible so they can pay as little income tax as possible.
yeah, only since their 3rd major release. my apologies.
wrap around back to A, like they have said? you experience two 8 o clocks in a 24 hour period, yet have little issue inferring which people are talking about. two letter B's in the past 12 years though, man.
not to mention the default is to either refer to them by number, or by both name and number.

You don't understand, EVERYONE should be writing apps for our app machines.
I love how we're still calling them indians centuries later.
I was thinking on Slashdot, whenever a sensationalist study is posted. It makes it easier to not RTFA when it's measurably biased.
I think it's both.

Is the use of tools and technology not the key motivation behind human evolution?
Psychoactive drugs can be tools, and are most definitely technology.

bad comparison. no points in time during your lifetime are optional.

still waiting for the update when windows becomes *nix, then I might think about windows being more useful to me than a video game console.

To clarify, it's actually probably the upper middle class. Everyone knows the upper class doesn't make regular income.

Truly a new standard for retardation.
Android and Ubuntu both use the exact same alphabetical naming scheme.
Yeah, it doesn't make any sense. Why would they name a service that you use to Google things "Bing"?
