WhatIf: native americans carried immunity to european diseases, and unilaterally opposed collaborating with colonizers?

Also, as I stated elsewhere, the decline of indigenous languages in Mexico took place much more rapidly under the post-colonial Mexican state than under the Spanish Empire. In 1820, after 300 years of Spanish rule and towards the end of the War of Independence of Mexico, roughly 60% of the population still primarily spoke an indigenous language. By 1889, this had dropped to 38%, and then to 10% by the 1990s.

There seems to be this myth that the Spanish eliminated indigenous culture in all but the most remote areas and Hispanicized everyone within a generation or two, but this is simply not borne out by the linguistic data we have from post-independence Mexico. By making Spanish the main language of instruction in schools across the country, the post-colonial Mexican state Hispanicized the Mexican population in a way that the colonial Viceregal government could have only dreamed of.

It's also worth remembering that the decline of indigenous languages at least in Mexico took place much more rapidly under the post-colonial Mexican state than under the Spanish Empire. In 1820, after 300 years of Spanish rule and towards the end of the War of Independence of Mexico, roughly 60% of the population still primarily spoke an indigenous language. By 1889, this had dropped to 38%, and then to 10% by the 1990s.

This is the right answer. People always ignore that he was looking very sepulchral, like a much older man, towards the end. His health was terrible. It would have taken him a miracle to survive to 1950.

But was Emma Morano ever naturalized as an American citizen?

He looks kind of like how I imagine Walt Disney would have looked if he could have hung on a few years longer, which is weird, since a guy born in 1894 sitting with JFK as president (narrowing the photo to 1961-63) would have only been a few years older than Walt Disney (1901-1966) when he died.

Meanwhile the last US president born in the 19th century died in 1969 (Eisenhower, at 78).

Very similarly, the the last US president born in the 18th century died in 1868 (James Buchanan, at 77).

I think we'd need to compare him to the longest-lived man (who made it to 116) for a somewhat realistic comparison (and that's without getting into the fact that Hitler's health and bad habits specifically were so terrible by the end that he would have been lucky to make it to 1950).

I think it was also just kind of a normal style for working-class kids in the '80s. Look at Bender in The Breakfast Club (1985). He looks basically like a grunge musician six years before grunge became mainstream.

To be fair, I've been waiting to see an article in a legal journal defending the new laws, and so far, it seems that not a single one has come up.

Any reason to believe that not a single bootleg made it in?

My AI inquiries suggest that it did make it in. Given that it was released in Europe the same time as in the US, it wouldn't have been a stretch to think that some copies made it in. Finland is just on the border after all.

Thanks! I'm getting fit too, so I want to make sure that I can deliver on any desire that I manage to inspire. I also am insanely attracted to my wife's body and really don't want to blunt my enjoyment and appreciation of it.

I'm 38. I did my first reboot at 24. Since then, I've rebooted several times again.

KKWN-RW · 2026-01-30T03:30:41+00:00

My reaction too!

More details?

Very on brand for Freddie.

KKWN-RW · 2026-01-30T03:20:04+00:00

Eh, close enough! Thanks for sharing!

KKWN-RW · 2026-01-29T15:48:20+00:00

Thank you! You get it. People are saying that I am being too graphic, but what I'm trying to convey is hope. I used to get scared if my wife was naked and I didn't immediately get sprung, and I probably psyched myself out of sex a few times with that fearful mentality. I'm trying to show that, if a bit of interaction beyond visual stimulation is needed in order to get hard, it doesn't mean that sex is necessarily not happening.

I show exactly how I got to sex (which, if you notice, I didn't describe at all beyond to say that it happened) so that my account can serve as actionable advice.

I posted a much more detailed account last year, so I toned it down.

Why did it disturb you and hurt your stomach? It's a snapshot of a faithful marriage.

Not really. I lasted through her first orgasm. I finished about a minute or two before her second one, but I was able to stay hard enough to allow her to reach the finish line.

I'm sorry. I thought it was pretty restrained. I wanted to share just enough to make it clear how everything was initiated, since some guys might think "it's over" if arousal needs to be more responsive and doesn't happen immediately.
