> The amount of xenophobia, generally coming from very non-native, non-Cherokee or very non-Apache American individuals is absurd.

You may want to clear or reset your AI chat context. Your earlier reply about its not "Crazy Horse or Geronimo sitting in the white house" Really did a number on its output regarding Indians here -- its not the Cherokee that some swiss worry about over-immigrating to their country.


No, they are not traditional shadow puppets. According to the wiki you linked, "Reiniger pioneered silhouette animation" where "shadow-play-like puppets are filmed frame-by-frame"

They are similar in visual style but different in form and method.

> In the 1910s, the German animator Lotte Reiniger pioneered silhouette animation as a format, whereby shadow-play-like puppets are filmed frame-by-frame.

> The lower polling on ICE is odd because, as a policy issue, deporting all illegal immigrants (not just ones who have committed crimes) is polling at 55-45

Deporting illegal immigrants is not the issue with ICE. The issue with ICE is their killing of US Citizens, trying to cover it up until video evidence show they are absolutely lying trigger happy murders only to have the admin shrug and/or defend the agents actions and blaming the victims; also detaining and deporting US Citizens[0] doesn't sit well with other US Citizens.

> Californian here, we're bigger than Texas, laughed at the plight of ordinary people who voted for the terrible outcome they got when there was a massive winter storm and no electricity in 2021. [...] I honestly could see the hilarity of that disaster ...

The wiki has the official death toll at 246[0]. It's estimated to actually be over 700. I don't see the humor at all. But then again, I also don't find humor in the death and destruction of all the wildfires out your way either, do you? or do you only conflate devastating natural disaster outcomes to voting outcomes in states with results you don't like?

It's a large country. Texas is a very large state, larger in size than France.

Texas recently voted to approve a $20 billion investment in water.
