Shouldn't have happened at all, but at least the hotel fired the shitfucker and tried to make this right, while in other parts of the country this behavior would have been celebrated.
I seriously think it is only a matter of time before ads end up in textbooks issued to schoolchildren.
I can imagine it in the US at least.
Chapter 3: The Indian Removal Act
The Indian Removal Act of 1830 was signed into law on May 28, 1830, by United States President Andrew Jackson. The law, as described by Congress, provided for an exchange of lands with the Indians residing in any of the states or territories, and for their removal west of the river Mississippi. Tribes such as the Cherokee were forcibly removed by the United States government in a march to the west that later became known as the Trail of Tears.

Zuck has been nothing but terrible for the state of VR. Oculus was doing fine before Facebook bought them, and since then all they've contributed is trying to fragment the ecosystem.
A lot of my vocabulary that I acquired to talk about the Civil War, be it from school and media and the like, was just conforming to the type of language everyone else used. All of the examples listed in the article, basically.
But if there can be a concerted effort to change the way we talk about the war that further contests the many false narratives that the former Confederate states have tried to establish, count me in.
Right, I just mean the concept of "courtship" (if broken down to the basic concept of starting a long-term romantic relationship) has evolved to the point that it is dated to even refer to dating as "courtship" anymore. I would take any dating advice from someone considerably older with a hefty grain of salt. Sex is human nature, but dating is a constantly-evolving system of social norms that most people won't experience outside of their own generation.
I'm on a mobile app which doesn't yet have mod log integration, so I guess I'll just have to trust you on that one.
But if your argument is that Lemmy.world isn't doing enough to police trolls spewing hate, do you have anything to say about the example .world user you pulled up who has since been banned for the type of problematic rhetoric that is supposedly allowed here?
Again, all within a day, mind you. I still have yet to see any evidence indicating a trend, and I'd wager I'm here a lot more often than you are.
Congrats, you found a troll who has been active for exactly one day, with one of their 8 existing comments having already been removed by a mod. Do you see mass upvotes like the pro-Russia propaganda gets on .ml?
At first I was like "Why would anyone want to change OoT's art and mess with perfection?", but I do have to admit that I have really been craving a modern Zelda game in the vein of the N64 releases, which is a formula they haven't touched since Skyward Sword in 2011. And Oblivion just recently showed me that sometimes a new coat of paint really is all you need.
Wind Waker at least is a game that (visually) aged very gracefully and I think can still stand against newer games even now, but I've played it to death and just wish we had something new.
Also not to discredit BotW/TotK or anything, I think they are still great games and I also really enjoyed them, but they're just built different. Zelda is now a franchise of 3 distinct styles, but only two of them (2D and open world) are still getting new releases.
The process of "courtship", if you want to call it that, is definitely something that has changed dramatically between generations.
Your parents never had to bother with things like a woman specifying a time to "debut", meeting with suitors under the supervision of an elder, the taboo of an unmarried couple being alone before marriage, the obligation for a woman's family to put together a dowry, etc.
I mean, women in most of the west have only had political agency for just shy of 100 years, and even less than that as "equal" members of the workforce. Social dynamics have radically changed over the past several generations, and are continuing to change even now.
There was some indeterminate point in western society when advice like "You know what would really win her over? Duel her most eligible suitor" universally stopped being good advice, and the same is happening today with many of the dating strategies our parents grew up with.
That's optimistic. The handlers are probably still at (or even orchestrating) the briefings.
