I debated making the title “Donuts in the parking lot” but the real question is, will you go to a grocery store parking lot at midnight for donuts?

It is still good. Though I wonder if they get enough business to stay in business. It feels like the location is out of the way enough where people don't go to it because there's nothing else around it.

That robber is lucky he didn’t die. Critical condition for a stupid bike.

What the Europeans did to indigenous American groups during the age of colonization was, in essence, genocide. Stealing land, toppling civilizations, conquest through guns and disease, forced conversions, mass killings… it was not simply “immigration” lol
And yes, intermixing between oppressive colonizing cultures and native cultures tends to lead to the erasure of native cultures.

They never went away. They’re the indigenous people of Guatemala, southern Mexico, etc. same with the indigenous of the US and the indigenous of the Andes descended from the Inca. What doesn’t exist anymore is an independent Mayan civilization or country/city state. But they never went extinct or were intermixed with non-native Americans. There are some indigenous groups from Latin America that have functionally gone extinct either through excess intermixing with the colonizers who came to their land or by dying through disease and conquest. An example is the Taino people of the Caribbean. Their descendants have some Taino ancestry but it’s mostly mixed with African and European and not many, if any, genetically homogenous Taino exist.

That’s why the government needs to fine these instances to the point of oblivion.
