They/hello!! Also @match@pawb.fun
the pama-nyungan language family is indigenous to Australia and all the languages in that umbrella are either endangered or extrinct already.
pick one:
a) it is already safely and thoroughly catalogued or reachable via the Internet
b) there’s already enough embedded researchers in indigenous Australian communities to study these endangered languages
c) it’s not humanities for some reason
d) probably should spend some money getting more students and professors out there to study it
(contextually: it is associated with headhunting, which is complicated but can be thought of as a type of community justice)
North America of course being any part of the Americas in the Northern hemisphere –
Humanities don’t need funding for expensive laboratories
i suppose so as long as all your humanities knowledge is already solved with no need to travel to new places, study new locations, or talk to new people
my ancestors used a mandau for this kind of community justice. is that acceptable for you?
they’ve been on it for generations, this is hardly 101
are you proposing some kind of Columbus effect where people heading to India will occasionally end up in Taino land by accident
they only think coconuts floated over on their own 500 years ago because austronesians are supernaturally invisible to white people
i know this is a verboten question for prison abolitionists, but, what does the ideal court system look like for you? the defense comes in with attorneys, the victims have to represent themselves and accuse the defendant with no legal team?
i literally agree with you except i think the guys with the guns who do street gang style violence are cops whereas the prosecutors are a reasonable part of an adversarial justice system
two weeks ago i tried searching to figure out where the fuck Biden had gone. couldn’t find a thing besides the talent agency he’d signed with
did you personally decide attorneys are cops
Russio-Yankee vs Euro-Sino actually
You didn’t?
What’s Russia gonna do instead, sell it to the US? Oh… oh no…

My money is that we’ll say the same thing about him in 10 years
I’m sure they’re excellent patrons of the arts, such as the fiddle
It’s a fine answer and I agree with it, except: sometimes one community wrongs another, and in precolonial Southeast Asia, those wrongs were rectified by headhunters. Now, two communities might mutually agree to allow headhunters jurisdiction, but: maybe it makes more sense for communities to agree to use an adversarial court system and a network of bar associations. At the very least, unlike the justice of headhunters, it separates the legal advocate for community justice (the prosecutor) from the walking beatstick (the cop)
