Taking advantage of the lax rules to ask a very broad question, maybe too broad. Feel free to answer with your area of expertise, whether geographically or temporally.

Basically before the European conquest various states, groups, cities, federations, whatever existed in North America.

Unlike Aztecs and Maya which are very present in the popular culture, very little is talked about their northern neighbors. I would like to get a better view of what the political system on the continent looked like at the time.

The date is rough - anything goes that we have the data on.

Not that other countries don't have racism, but American sheer dedication to it is impressive

The company I work for has been bough out by private equity and then dismantled to be sold in parts. Last week a good part of employees have been laid off, and the rest of us transferred to one of the successor companies. Nobody's complaining, those laid off got compensated really really well.

But there has been a lot of talking how everyone feels, many people reminiscing about the "good old days" saying how it all went to shit after we were acquired.

And I'm just listening thinking how we finally have the same opinion about the company that I had since the very start. I absolutely hated the place but couldn't leave due to other circumstances in life. And now after a good few years I'm finally bonding with my (now former) coworkers during their last days. Weird feeling

We hear a lot about which destinations are overrated, too crowded, expensive, full of scams, suffering from overtourism, etc.

But which ones do you think are deservedly popular? Which ones justify the hype?
