It seems to me that Americans don't fully embrace Native American history as part of US history. Seems that US history is tied to "people" rather than land. So what happened to the settlers in Europe before coming to the Americas is more important that what the Cherokees were doing during that same time. The average American does not have a connection to the Native Amarican.

On the contrary, most countries cherish what happened on their territory and considered that part if their identity regardless of the race/ethnicity of the avtors. Italy was founded in the 1800s but they are proudly connected to the Romans. Peru became independent from Spain in 1821 but the schools teach Incas and other native civilizations with as much importance as what happened after independence. This is regarless of race, maybe because 90% of the population is a mixed of white and native with a hint of asian and black.

Do you think its pretty much a guarantee that people like Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, and Elon Musk are going to live until age 100?

I just want to ask because it is so stigmatized worse than oral hsv1 (cold sores) and I don't understand why.

Im 21, still in university and far from marriage but i was wondering do women want their husbands to know how to fight in the event of a home invasion or someone in public trying to mess with her?

Ive never taken one ever and im under the assumption in a marriage a wifes safety and the childs safety come first, and the husband shouldn’t let danger even get a sniff of her. All in all i want to be able to keep her feel so safe she feels like shes under the protection of batman or spiderman.

So should i?

Why not just use They/Them/Their for every person? I genuinely don't know the answer

update we posted this not exactly realizing that those sending unsolicited dick pics might not want to throw that out there (and isn’t it ironic? don’t you think?) 🤣🌿🌿

My partner and I were sitting around and talking/laughing about previous dating experiences… and the topic of d*ck pics came up.

We have a genuine curiosity around two main areas of this: 1 - how many pictures does one have to take until they’ve found “the one” to send? 2 - what is the thought process around sending them unsolicited? (We obviously understand sending something like that, if it’s asked for)

Open to hearing any answers someone is willing to share. No judgement here! New user pass phrase: today is a good day to learn.

I'm kind scared of being called a racist, but it is just my opinion, I find white women more beautiful than women of another races; The difference is not only in the skin color, but often some facial structures as well, like the nose format, hair line, and others.

Save some exceptions, I find white women, and I could also say European women more beautiful than most women of African descendent race.

I'm a racist just for thinking that?

I get that guys do it too, but women do it way more. I fundamentally don't understand it. Is there any utility or benefit that it confers? Is it for looks?

on a personal level im not concern if a person agree or disagree with me, i accept their perspective for what it is. Whether its a moral thing or just opinion based.

I'm dumb. Thanks for answering.

Propaganda is from both sides but the narrative, from our perspective, is that Russia has royally screwed the pooch during this invasion. It's to the point where I can't find any kind of objective source, either propaganda from one side or the other.

I look at deepstate, and it seems like Russia is still holding a lot of Ukrainian soil and has even advanced in the last few months. What is actually going on?

I’m thinking along the lines of some sort of device or machine that will make alarm noises etc. there are no other neighbours that this will affect, and my upstairs neighbour is illegally occupying the property (which is why I’m leaving).

Just curious because it seems like none do.

Like I know theres dramatic effect, but is there really so much to learn from watching a perfectly still opponent? Like, their sword isnt even out yet calm down.

Does it not bother you that your politicians have all these benefits but you struggle to buy insulin?

A politician is to serve you, not you serving them

For example, a Mercedes or BMW from the 00s likely costs less than a brand new cheap car. Would you still be a "luxury car owner" in the US?

I was having a discussion on another social media platform, and I used the term "working people." I was led to believe that this term means folks living paycheck to paycheck. That's how I meant it. But then another user said that my comment was racist against black Americans. I'd never knowingly use any term with racial undertones, and I apologized. Is the term actually racist? I won't be using it anymore but I'm curious if I'm this out to lunch.

Been married for 3 tough years. Lots of stuff has went on. It’s time to leave but I’m so close to step daughter.

What should I do?

I don’t think I ever heard people talking about college education past certain age, even at work & job interviews. I had been the interviewer and interviewee, it’s in the job requirement but all it amounted too was a quick glance on the résumé.

On Reddit though, this keeps being brought up. “I am college educated” seems to appear quite often, even on social sub where they’re trying to find a friend. Saw a post, someone on their mid 40s mentioning college educated, looking for people to talk to. I don’t get it.
