I've seen a lot of bad history on this, and I would like to add to it.
Something I've noticed about the Spanish vs. English colonialism is that it seems the Spanish were more interested in ruling over established nations, while the English wanted to find unsettled land and send civilized people there.
The Spanish, as a result, never really traveled much into North America. They were okay with Mexico, thanks to the Aztecs. The only "civilized" people in what is the US today were in modern day New Mexico and Arizona, the Pueblo, and so that area occupied most of the Spanish interest in the modern day US. The Spanish had a lot of success "de-tribalizing" them, but struggled with the surrounding tribes like the Apache, forcing the creation of towns in New Mexico like Abiquiu, Belen, and Trampas as forts manned by genizaros (pueblo converts and subjects of the Spanish crown).
As such, New Mexico and Florida compete over the title of the oldest Europeans settlements in the US. The general agreement is that it's Saint Augustine, Florida that takes it in terms of "continuous habitation", but there are several communities in New Mexico that also have a basic claim to the title.
However, like I said, the Spanish never really penetrated deep into the US, they stuck mostly to the coast. This wasn't the case in New Mexico. Santa Fe ended up being the capital for the region.
But this also ended up being a massive drag on the Spanish. The government had a lot of colorful words for the area, and described is as "remote beyond comparison". Resupply trips from Mexico City to Santa Fe took 3 years, one way, and towns or regions along the path were given names like "help" and "route of the dead".
As such, the only Europeans who lived in Santa Fe were clergy, there to convert the locals to Christianity. The rest were genizaro, of which there were only a few thousand in the entire region. This created a problem, as even the Pueblo / genizaro would revolt against the Spanish government from time to time trying to start their own state, the biggest revolt being in 1680. After that revolt, many large settlements were not rebuilt or returned to until the 1800's (leading to the dispute with Florida over the title of the oldest cities).
And this was where the Spanish did MOST of it's work. They were in Louisiana, or Florida, or Texas, but despite those areas being under their thumb, they never saw massive migration from Spain, or even New Spain / Mexico, except on the borders.
The Russians were even able to establish colonies in California, like at Fort Ross, just 60 miles from present day San Fransisco, in the 1820s-1840. Oh, but it was full of Mexicans too, who just didn't notice this going on?
Which brings me to my point with all of this.
The left is currently claiming that "Mexico owned it, so everyone there was Mexican, that's why there are so many Mexicans chud". It's one of the stupidest ideas ever. No, they were mostly Indians (feather not dot), and then the US settled it with European immigrants, and now it's being flooded with Mexicans from Mexico.

@Purp1Lady @Doll @blankdeblank @Frondeur I don't like vegans because all of the food they make is horrible, and you have to pretend you like it to not hurt their feelings. -

It's important to remember this isn't an accident. People ask why Millennials are such shit writers, when it's the wrong question. What happened is that during the 2010's (probably starting pre-gamergate, 2007~2009), video game companies, producers, and schools teaching game design deliberately started gatekeeping hard. You couldn't find a scholarship that wasn't explicitly for women and minorities only, or explicitly targeted them. This is probably still going on to this day, but I have not looked at scholarships in about a decade so idk.
This isn't to say "women and minorities are shit writers", but that those who found this practice distasteful probably ended up not applying. Those who did were likely filtered by the culture in those areas, which I imagine was filled with "tumblr liberals". Those who survived were either supportive of it, or learned to keep their heads down. What they loved became a job, and they did and said whatever they needed to keep their jobs.
These people were myopic. They had limited to zero real life experience or hobbies outside of gaming and television. Their personality was their political beliefs. They were spiteful and uncreative. They wanted their hobby to be taken seriously, and so sacrificed fun game play and interesting stories for being pretentious.
And so instead of hiring the best artists for the job, they hired people for the novelty of hiring them. They hired stupid women, and stupid minorities, just to reach a quota, and then they bragged about doing it.
It took a generation, but the people first recruited back then are now entering into management positions. America's creative industries are going to have decades of putting up with this fungus that they cultivated and allowed to spread.
The saving grace is that making your own games, and making money off your own games, is now easier than ever.
I'm begging you, please, learn an art. It can be writing, game design, it can be drawing or painting. Just LEARN how, and PRACTICE EVERY DAY!
This is probably the most important thing you can do with your time. I'm not even joking.

@snappler @qwerty Yeah. I do find it odd that he would agree to go into a debate about god though, when his position has long been "I don't know what god is" and "I don't like to be boxed in". Basically, he thinks fence sitting makes him smart. He fundamentally does not understand that the only reason he's popular is that he was a college professor who called trannies out on their shit, and he used IQ stats to call Blacks retards. -

@snappler @qwerty "Okay, so what do you believe?" To which, Jordan can only go "What do any of us belief? And what is belief?"
Which is why this was made, like, 5 years ago. -

@pwm @ceo_of_monoeye_dating So when it becomes 10pm, you'll have two suns? (one at 8am and 7am)? -

@pwm @ceo_of_monoeye_dating Like, I get that each dot is probably an hour time, or that the sun being at seven means "sunrise is at 7am", but then there is the gap at 8, so it that supposed to be 12+ hours back to 9pm (which is when sunset is)? -
