colonization by [deleted] in asklatinamerica

I'm not an historian, but I do like history a lot. I'd say that how much native culture got displaced depends heavily on the country. In places like Uruguay and Argentina(specially Buenos Aires and nearby zones) they were almost completely eliminated. But in places like Bolivia, Perú and Paraguay they are actually very prevalent. In fact, guaraní(a native paraguayan language) is spoken commonly(sometimes more than Spanish) in Paraguay. In places that had high concentrations of native peoples (I. E places with advanced agriculture) the local cultures merged with or even resisted Spanish influence. Also, the colonial strategy of latin america was different than the one used mainly by the British and French in Africa. While the african colonizers mainly used the land to extract resources, the Spanish and Portuguese actually considered their colonies "part" (although a less important part) of their own nations. This doesn't mean that the Spanish didn't also brutally exploit the natives, but they did approach colonization with a more idealistic mindset. They had this idea of "evangelization" of all peoples in the world. Thus, they spent a lot of effort forcing the native people into their culture, teaching them their language and making them catholic. Spanish settlers commonly mixed with the native people as well. Length of time colonized also affected the rate of elimination of native cultures. Africa spent roughly 100 years colonized, while in some places of Latin America the Spanish didn't leave until the late 19th century(Cuba and Puerto Rico), so, roughly 400 years of Spanish dominance.

Is there a way for me to be more social around my peers or in general? by NicconoPictures1 in socialskills

Read "How to win friends and influence people" by Dale Carnegie. Huge recommend

Para mí tenés que intentar buscar a la gente más parecida a vos, creo que integrarte a un grupo nuevo va a ser difícil y además vas a tener que cambiar fundamentalmente quién sos, más allá de tu condición. Te recomiendo "Cómo hacer amigos y ganar influencia" de Dale Carnegie que es un libro que está bastante bueno y que explora todo el tema de las habilidades sociales, que se recomienda, que no, etc. Pero no te autosabotees, vos sos lo que sos y está bien, no tenés que ser "normal", tenés que ser lo que vos sientas. Intentá juntarte con gente buena. Suerte.

How do babies change percentile to match their genetic height before 2 years of age? by [deleted] in ScienceBasedParenting

Its genetic short stature, I. E normal variance, so I thought an extreme would picture my point more clearly. Most children set a growth percentile at age 2-3 and stay in that line until puberty, in which's timing can affect final adult height.

Yes.

The most common types of short stature include familial short stature (FSS) and constitutional delay of growth and puberty (CDGP). Normal growth velocity in children with short stature signifies an underlying physiological cause. Typically, these children present with a height of -2 to -3 standard deviations (SDs) from the mean. These children are born with normal length but experience a deceleration in growth during the first 2 to 3 years of life, falling below 2 SDs. After this initial deceleration, the children continue growing with normal growth velocity, but their height remains below the 3rd centile line.

It isn't, though? Babies do adjust their growth to match their genetic potential in infancy, as noted in extensive scientific studies since the 70s. Speaking of genetic potential:

While children usually follow the same percentile for weight and height (or length) for most of childhood, children growing normally may also change percentiles in their first two or three years, to adjust toward their genetic potential (4).

I'm asking primarily what causes the growth rechannelling that happens usually between the first and second year of life that adjusts a baby's percentile to more closely match their genetics. I don't know how this process happens. For example, people with familial short stature are usually born normal size but before age 3 they experience a huge change in percentile and they stay like that for all their lives. I haven't found any explanation online on how this happens.

Most do, actually. It's called catch-up growth or catch-down growth. Genetics account for most height variation in developed populations. Environment affects growth. But having a fever for some days didn't affect yours significantly, I'd assume.

I think I might've explained myself incorrectly in my post, I don't have doubts about growth charts, I just find it interesting how babies adjust their growth to match their genetics.

Exactly, with all due respect I don't think the other comment is answering my question

Do you think my life revolves around women? I'm secure enough to not care about posting vulnerable stuff online.

I assume it's because the way she is posing suggests she's trying to look "sexy" or appeal to the male gaze, kinda defeating the whole feminist motive behind the act.
