Tecumseh (c. 1768 – October 5, 1813) was a Shawnee chief and warrior who promoted resistance to the expansion of the United States onto Native American lands. A persuasive orator, Tecumseh traveled widely, forming a Native American confederacy and promoting intertribal unity. Even though his efforts to unite Native Americans ended with his death in the War of 1812, he became an iconic folk hero in American, Indigenous, and Canadian popular history.
Tecumseh was born in what is now Ohio at a time when the far-flung Shawnees were reuniting in their Ohio Country homeland. During his childhood, the Shawnees lost territory to the expanding American colonies in a series of border conflicts. Tecumseh’s father was killed in battle against American colonists in 1774. Tecumseh was thereafter mentored by his older brother Cheeseekau, a noted war chief who died fighting Americans in 1792. As a young war leader, Tecumseh joined Shawnee Chief Blue Jacket’s armed struggle against further American encroachment, which ended in defeat at the Battle of Fallen Timbers in 1794 and with the loss of most of Ohio in the 1795 Treaty of Greenville.
In 1805, Tecumseh’s younger brother Tenskwatawa, who came to be known as the Shawnee Prophet, founded a religious movement that called upon Native Americans to reject European influences and return to a more traditional lifestyle. In 1808, Tecumseh and Tenskwatawa established Prophetstown, a village in present-day Indiana, that grew into a large, multi-tribal community. Tecumseh traveled constantly, spreading the Prophet’s message and eclipsing his brother in prominence. Tecumseh proclaimed that Native Americans owned their lands in common and urged tribes not to cede more territory unless all agreed. His message alarmed American leaders as well as Native leaders who sought accommodation with the United States. In 1811, when Tecumseh was in the South recruiting allies, Americans under William Henry Harrison defeated Tenskwatawa at the Battle of Tippecanoe and destroyed Prophetstown.
In the War of 1812, Tecumseh joined his cause with the British, recruited warriors, and helped capture Detroit in August 1812. The following year he led an unsuccessful campaign against the United States in Ohio and Indiana. When U.S. naval forces took control of Lake Erie in 1813, Tecumseh reluctantly retreated with the British into Upper Canada, where American forces engaged them at the Battle of the Thames on October 5, 1813, in which Tecumseh was killed. His death caused his confederacy to collapse. The lands he had fought to defend were eventually ceded to the U.S. government. His legacy as one of the most celebrated Native Americans in history grew in the years after his death, although details of his life have often been obscured by mythology.

I saw this on social media, so now you have to as well.
classic millennial/gen z thing but finding work in an economy that’s averse to hiring is a pain, and no one believes me when I complain about my struggles.
I swear, the concept of people saying “no” when you apply is practically foreign to boomers. Like they look at me like I have two heads over being underemployed and I explain that “yes, I apply and people turn me down. Companies prefer masters over amateurs and there’s no such thing as entry level jobs anymore. Even internships are too competitive and the thing about competition is PEOPLE LOSE!”
I swear, they’re a generation that thinks losing is impossible.
It’s the underemployment that really drives people nuts. I’ve literally never worked for someone smarter than me, just once in my life I want a boss that is good at math.
I think they may literally have never actually struggled and don’t talk to people who fell through the cracks - or don’t talk about the times they did, cause it’s “shameful” somehow. Struggling with which china cabinet (boomer solution: Both!) to put in your house ain’t struggling. I know there’s the occasional story of a someone older with a boomer style mindset being laid off and them confroting how shitty the job market is now.
It’s so weird that they were insulated for so long and grew up in a time of such intense rate of profit that you COULD just walk across the street and get a different job that day - a lot of it was an illusion and they just didn’t acknowledge the people who didn’t make it, but still. Weird to imagine all it taking is seeing a manager and being hired for the first shift in the mail room in a week.
Creating entry level jobs is probably a billion dollar industry because you have a pool of people who would be down to train to command giga salaries from assholes while doing a perfectly good job at your relatively mundane tasks.
“I need you to create and market a newsletter. Feel free to use Google. If you could take notes so we know what to do once you leave that’d be really great.”
I’ve been unemployed for a while now and it feels like I may never find a job again lol

Never understood the popular image of chefs being these jolly people who just love to eat. Have worked in a lot of kitchens and most chefs were very irritable and seemed to think you were weak if you couldn’t take their verbal barrage.
Gordon Ramsay and his consequences have been a disaster for the human race
Chefs have chilled out more and more in recent years and Gordon Ramsay having a reputation for being a dick when he kinda acted like most boomer chefs cause he was in TV and people outside of kitchens saw it probably helped.
Lotta uppers in kitchens, only way to deal with the absolute shite conditions and the bullying
Huh, so Marco Pierre White, if not Gordon Ramsay, by their own verbal barrage, don’t seem too far from reality…
me when i’m building assembly lines and shit in factorio and i see big train whizz by and make the autism go wheeeeeHave you ever played Workers and Resources: Soviet Republic? It’s got a steep learning curve, but it definitely scratches that same itch for me
tried it for a bit but it never really clicked for me. that was like 50 odd updates ago so maybe if i try it again idk
Very fair, I bounced off of it really hard the first time I played. It was only because I was unemployed and could devote an absolute criminal amount of time to it that I actually started to enjoy it. Which sounds like less than praise now that I write it out, but I swear it is “fun” eventually lol
they put “only 2.99” on the hot cheeto fries bags like we’re supposed to collectively forget that it was 1.99 just last year
Frito-Lay’s greed is ridiculous. I noticed the same thing on santitas tortilla chips. Like, the fuck you mean, “only”? That’s a 50% percent price bump!
because this was literally a bit in the book.
Just made up a new white person name: Darrence
Continuing to terrorize the zoomers by being the old guy who asks them for band reccomendations when i’m waiting in line at shops.
went to a cheesecake factory for the first time recently… not great!
Which made me think, honestly, eating out is one of the most overrated things you can do. I’ve never gone to a restaurant and been like “wow, that was an amazing meal, so glad I came out here and sat here for forty minutes.” All food is aggressively mid. The decor sucks. It’s all garbage.
Being a chef makes eating out kinda suck because generally I’m like “yeah I could have made this, better, and not paid 20 dollars for it” but sometimes I like to not spend an hour cooking + my partner wants to go out sometimes
I went to a restaurant with my parents and family my sous chef recommended and got a steak because i wanted to try whatever bordelaise sauce is. It was a good steak but for the price i could have made 4 equivalent steaks and much more sauce. It was like, not enough goddamn sauce
I live in a really good town for restaurants and there are a few places I really enjoy but they’re for sure the exceptions. I’ll also generally try to order stuff that I either can’t or wouldn’t make at home
As a cook in a pretty nice restaurant where I can honestly say our food is high quality af, all I can say is, I’m trying my best, I know this shit is overpriced and I’m genuinely trying to make it as close to worthwhile as I can, my sympathy lies way more with the customers than the boss. Also I think the food I make is good, everything is from scratch, we get high quality locally sourced ingredients, as far as bang for your buck goes it’s one of the better deals out there, especially cause our main thing is pizzas and 2 people could get a solid meal out of a 11" one for around $20 and our 16" ones are usually under $5 more and can feed 4-5 people. I’m doing my best dammit.
I’m sure you are, I respect what you do. I’m in food service myself so I can sympathize on some level. It’s more just my own exhaustion with everything about modern life and all the gentrified, boring restaurants around here.
I totally do get that and the owner has made the place more and more boring by the year because she now has a Social Media Manager as her grima wormtongue
Instagram and its consequences
It doesn’t even translate to more business. It just makes em feel like they’re doing stuff
Tbf those chain restaurants are extremely mid. Local restaurants can be a lot more fun if you’re willing to look in the right places.
Most chain restaurants seem to just be microwaving food these days.
home cooked meals are almost always better! it’s just nice to cook for and with people
Yeah at least you’re creating something this way.
I like cheesecake factory. I just get the bread and a desert though. If you just get the bread and cheeseit is reasonably priced and it feels like a hobbit type meal.
There really just needs to be a kind of resteraunt where you can get just like a simple cheap hearty meal. Like some vegetable stew. That would fucking slap.
Resteraunts are now about getting slightly fancy versions of regular food with just more butter and sugar than a reasonable human could apply. With the bonus of them overcharging and cutting every corner they can.
Standing School
Had a “great” exchange on another instance. OP asked about how to increase interest in amateur radio. I said run a whole bunch of pirate FM stations. OP proceeded to give me a lecture about esoteric nerd shit and tell me about how the FCC would come down on anyone who tried to do low power FM transmissions bc of harmonics, even though I specifically said harmonics should be properly filtered and most FM spectrum is dead air.
Make my useless hobby useful and appealing to the general public? No, it is the federal government that’s right.
What a weird and gatekeeping community that is, but like, not in a good way.
And yes this is me whining in my safe space.
Hams are extremely cop brained. Idk why. It’s always put me off even trying. Why would anyone want to talk to hams? They seem like miserable people.
It’s a shame because it has so much potential as a radicalizing and subversive medium. Like here is a way of communicating that’s free, almost everyone has the equipment to receive the transmissions, cost of entry are well within reach for an upper middle class individual or a small pool of folks in a community, and yet all we can muster in terms of a vision is alternating 30 minutes of Dad Rock with 10 minutes of commercials on 93.7 the eagle
For real, the rise of semiconductor RF circuitry should mean amateur radio (pirate or otherwise) is booming but it’s not :(
I fucking hate it
I am a licensed radio amateur but I need to find/make some radio pirates in my area or something… idk :(
I only have equipment for VHF and UHF operation cuz I’m extremely broke rn and the bands are just dead most of the time
cw: fascist violence
The hobby, at least in
, also skews extremely old, male, and white. Love tuning into the local FM voice repeaters to hear old boomers talking about shooting their romantic partners if they got an abortion, I definitely want to talk to those people 
Maybe I’ll go tune to the local repeaters in a bit, see if there’s anyone on (there won’t be)
I feel like cops/excops make up a large proportion of radio amateur.
May do a little
Tired of radio cops
So much whining about possible interference and it’s like where the fuck is it then
, it’s basically unheard ofGood RF circuitry has never been easier to make or acquire
So many of these nerds act like one low-power FM station means you’re just blowing up the spectrum and no one else can use it which is just wrong
There’s so little spectrum available to working-class people at this point for whatever purposes they want it for. In the US, the feds/cops/cell phone companies have enormous allocations set aside for them that aren’t even being used most of the time, there is no harm being done even if you consider interference with the violent organizations of the state harm lol. And you have to really be trying to do any damage to cell phone networks this way, they are specifically designed to be hard to jam outside of the tiniest area lol
They’re just mad people aren’t adhering to the century old rules and norms about how to be an “acceptable” radio amateur
3 years before people start fearmongering about how every genalpha is insane and dangerous, 7 years until we find out they’re relatively normal, 11 years until every magazine for millionaires decides they’re ruining the workplace.
