Giving birth is f***ing tough, pardon my French.

That's actually Pashto

Same thing

French is a Evropan language and noble.

After doing it without any drugs I totally understand why many women choose c-sections

Pashto is related to French

My first thought after my son was born was that I would never judge another woman for not doing it all natural

@Papa Pizzagate yeah she was a midwife and involved in various spiritual practices. Several practices I found interesting but did not hold in equal respect. Herbalism is very useful. Crystals probably aren't...

>mention obscure ethnic group
> @Nemets appears

I can't imagine popping something that size out of something that small... 😳

It's pretty versatile @Asatru Artist - MD

Maybe not the most precise of descriptions.

Ainu are Finns - Thoughts, @Nemets

The Ainu are Jomon/Nivkhs

@Nemets a proper response to my bait

The Nivkhs have the same bear ritual as the Ainu

Jomon made the undersea ruins off Japan, no?

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN lol. Yeah, for sure. Eschewing modern medicine is unnecessary and dangerous, but dismissing ancient knowledge is prideful and foolish.

I'm no hippie, but I use coconut oil, tea tree oil, rosemary, garlic, apple cider vinegar etc in my medicine cabinet, right next to Neosporin.

The Jomon were the only people in japan until near-historic times

@Asatru Artist - MD I can assure you there is no popping lol

The (chief?) ancestors of the Japanese, the Yayoi, came from Korea, bringing rice farming

<:nervous:359009898115104770>

The Yamato (generic Japanese) are the result of a mix of the Yayoi and the Jomon

@Papa Pizzagate very smart. Yes a bizarre array of superfluous chemicals in every product. Natural stuff can make effective and more healthy subs. The "hippie" / "trad" overlap zone is real and mostly a good thing.

@missliterallywho 14 hour "pop" in my case. <:pepe:359012488920039424>

Balance between "trad" and "futurism" is the key.

~~Knowledge~~ wisdom in both.

We invented medicine.

Much of the modern world is bad- much does not mean all.

trad futurism = white space colonies with nuclear (literally?) families everywhere.

No one wants polio to come back

Open borders people do.

Look at all the weird outbreaks in "diverse" areas in Cali/MN/etc

Archeofuturism is a fun book

it's our strength, y'all!

That's actually true.

Testing your body to the limit trains it.

Another of the Alabama members was telling me about an article where someone claimed that migrants actually *lowered* the rate of disease

I'd rather not "train" my body with polio or whatever else diversity brings, thanks.

Survive polio? you just trained your immune system. Thanks diversity!!
