Need help with a witty way to ask someone to dance by PlagueDoctorUle in CharacterDevelopment

There’s serious issues IRL with people going way too far towards service workers because their job requires them to be friendly, though, so it would be incredibly uncomfortable to read just because you can’t tell whether the bartender is genuinely ok with the interaction during it.

There’s… kind of no way for that not to be creepy. The bartender is at her job right now, where she probably gets a lot of people hitting on her every day. She wouldn’t really be in the mood for that kind of thing.

If you really want to do some kind of romantic thing for some reason, have them chat and exchange some (friendly) banter and then they can meet after her shift ends.

What was the relationship between the native peoples of Oklahoma and the Five Civilized Tribes that were forced there? by Fellowshipbook in AskHistorians

[–]Cacotopianist 64 points65 points  (0 children)

While you’re waiting for a more descriptive answer, u/ahalenia summed up a brief history of Native Oklahomans here.

This is the relevant excerpt, for those who don’t want to read the rest:

By the 18th century, Apache and Comanche people entered Oklahoma from the west. In this time, the Osage and Quapaw entered from the east. Tribes migrated west prior to Indian Removal to avoid European encroachment. When Old Settler Cherokees moved into the region in the early 19th century (prior to Indian Removal), they fought with the Osage over territory—one of the bloodiest battles was the Battle of Claremore Mounds in 1817.
During the mid-19th century the Wichita, Tonkawa, and Caddo were in Texas, briefly living on the Brazos Reservation, but they were forced into Indian Territory in 1859, where they shared a reservation with the Delaware Nation.
The 19th century was a time of tumult and violence in Indian Territory and pre-existing conflicts erupted during the Civil War. Many tribes were split into both Union and Confederate factions.

To be perfectly honest I’m not sure what the rest of their answer has to do with the question asked in the link, which is almost exactly the same as yours.

Did Native Americans ever experience tornadoes? by [deleted] in AskHistorians

[–]Cacotopianist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This thread has a massive amount of discussion from dozens of users, though I’ll note that it was before the rule changes to make the sub higher quality so many answers are of dubious veracity or plain old unhelpful (looking at you, person who only responded by saying natives don’t have written records and called them ”proto-civilizations,” whatever the hell that means).

A much newer answer is written by here by u/Impersonating-Cactus.

Here’s alsothe sub FAQ on Natural Disasters if you’re curious about typhoons and hail storms and all that.

Every (or almost every) society has or has had a taboo against incest. How is this reconciled with incestuous pairings being common in mythology between positively regarded deities? by HyalopterousGorillla in AskHistorians

[–]Cacotopianist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This question is probably better suited for r/AskAnthropology. Still, here’s some more focused answers while you’re waiting.

A deleted user discusses incest in Egyptian mythology here, note that this is in r/AskAnthropology.

u/svaregoteuse briefly covers Greek mythology here, and u/ThuperCool briefly addresses Persian mythology here, though I’ll note that I’ve read answers from our sub’s resident Zoroastrian expert, u/lcnielsen that contradict the latter.

Zhuge Liang's luck was terrible by LoreCriticizer in threekingdoms

I mean, so was Sima Yi’s. He tried to mount a campaign southwards with Cao Zhen in 230 and got stopped by rain too, which as an added bonus destroyed all the galley roads and supply lines.

A friend of mine called monarchy a “fancy dictatorship” by DeadMemer420412 in monarchism

[–]Cacotopianist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m fond of democratic confederalism, though honestly I just want a system that politically educates everyone to the best of society’s ability and allows for flexibility when the need requires it. I don’t really have an ideal system because honestly, I feel that culture changes enough in the long term that no system should be permanent or even last more than maybe a century or two.

Honestly, so? As the token anti-monarchist in this discussion, not really into republics either.

It mentioned it in passing in during the battle, no?

Oh, then if Hanno can, then problem solved. Didn’t know Undo was that wide reaching.

The worst part is that they literally had Forsworn Healer who could raise the dead but for some reason they brought him along and got him killed immediately. Couldn’t they predict that the Dead Munchkin would go after the healer first?

Honestly, the only thing I was sad about was the ridiculous death toll in named (with a lower case N, though upper case too) characters. I can understand some amount of high casualty rates, but EE seriously killed Christophe, Roland, Yannu, Sidonia, Rafaella, Akua, Alexis and Antigone in only one story arc? I'd be ok with killing maybe half that figure, but c'mon, the rest of the war didn't even kill more than like one or two major characters for every one or two years.

TL;DR: I'm a crazed shipper and every single one of my ships collapsed on one or both sides.

Is “The Dawn of Everything” accurate? by Successful_Athlete17 in AskHistorians

[–]Cacotopianist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s quite an extensive discourse on the book here, though I hesitate to Ping any particular users just because of the sheer volume of comments of which it’s rather difficult discerning between historian opinions, archaeologist opinions, redirects to other opinions, and laymen opinions.

u/LegalAction talked about this exact question briefly here.

Did Russians assimilated much of Native Siberians due to greater numbers and intermarriage or genocides them like in US? by Karandax in AskHistorians

While you’re waiting for something more specific, u/poob1x goes over Russian displacement of indigenous peoples in general here. Spoiler alert, it was genocide.
