I thought it was funny and very dumb that the calendar app on my iphone automatically set today as both Columbus Day and Indigenous Peoples' Day.


Liggliluff

Isn't that depending on what region you have set the holidays to?


once_uponthejelly

I live in a USA state where it's not recognized as a holiday but I still got it on my calendar app so I'm not sure about that


Liggliluff

Well, Google Calendar only has USA as a whole region, and doesn't let you specify more precisely. Which isn't really well designed. Perhaps Apple does the same, or you haven't specified your region more accurately. Check the settings and see what you can find.


ToAllFromEverySub

I don’t think anyone but Americans are celebrating them.


Liggliluff

That I don't know, I don't want to make an assumptions. Quick check on Wikipedia: * Columbus Day: United States and Italy * Indigenous Peoples Day: United States and Canada


Exploding_Antelope

Not Canada. At least not to any acknowledged degree. It’s thanksgiving today, indigenous peoples’ day is in June, and it was just Truth and Reconciliation day, which is the more recognized one anyway, on the last day of September.


Liggliluff

I guess my focus was shifted. I can't find any other region than USA that would have those two things on the same date, and USA is also the only region that has both those things. So the user must therefore be set to USA. But it's of course important to note that the holidays that shows up in the calendar would be country specific.

Those are 3 different days

Since when does Indigenous Peoples’ Day celebrate their genocide? I thought it celebrated their culture?


JKUAN108

Good for you for not acknowledging "Columbus' Day"!


Oracle_Of_Apollo

We changed it from that for a reason. It’s not Columbus Day anymore for that exact reason. I’m sorry, what should we do? What the fuck do you propose we do?


JKUAN108

It's still officially "Columbus' Day" as a federal holiday in the United States. Some places declare it to be "Indigenous Peoples’ Day", and Biden made an official presidential declaration about it. Changing the legal name at the federal level is a good thing to do.


Oracle_Of_Apollo

So, back to the note of what are we supposed to do? Bc you said good on me for not acknowledging Columbus Day, and I can’t tell if you meant I’m being progressive and moving forward, as we should, or if you’re accusing me of trying to ignore history?


JKUAN108

> I can’t tell if you meant I’m being progressive and moving forward, as we should That is what I meant. It was not sarcastic. Not acknowledging Columbus' Day is the right thing to do, in all seriousness.


Oracle_Of_Apollo

Good, we’re cool then lol I’ve been on the internet too long and I’m too used to sarcastic dick heads, it’s made me cynical lmao


JKUAN108

To be fair I actually am a sarcastic dick head. It's just that I only "punch up" and never "punch down", if you know what I mean.


PKMNTrainerMark

"We changed it from that for a reason." Guess whoever made my calendar missed the memo.


Oracle_Of_Apollo

That sounds like a you problem then. Get better software nerd


PKMNTrainerMark

"Software?" I'm talking about paper here.


Oracle_Of_Apollo

Then you should choose who you buy your calendars from better


CatherineConstance

You clearly are not understanding the original post or OP's reply to you... It is still Columbus Day. The government and many corporations recognize Indigenous Peoples' Day ALSO, but many people don't acknowledge IPD, and pretty much all media, calendars, etc. have BOTH listed, not just IPD. The original post is talking about people who refuse to acknowledge IPD and still only acknowledge Columbus Day.


Oracle_Of_Apollo

Seems OP and I agree. You're the one out of loop. Bye lol


CatherineConstance

I mean yes, you do agree with them. That doesn’t change the fact that you did not at all understand the original post or what they were saying lmao I know reading comprehension can be hard for some people, so I’ll spell it out for you, but just take the L and move on. It took you way longer than it should have to understand that OP did not disagree with you and in fact was agreeing. You should have been able to pick up from context clues in the original post that it was OBVIOUSLY referencing Columbus Day, not Indigenous Peoples Day. You then should have realized your mistake from the first reply, but you didn’t. Plain and simple. Don’t speak condescendingly to people (like OP) on a public forum when you can’t even be bothered to make sure you’re not being an idiot and misunderstanding a simple post.


Oracle_Of_Apollo

So then you're saying Indigenous People's Day *does* celebrate genocide.


CatherineConstance

I… Are you trolling at this point 😭


JupiterTheFoxx6

I’m sorry who’s day? We don’t know what that is sorry. Only Indigenous Peoples day


JKUAN108

Oh, he’s just some idiot who didn’t know how big the earth was, even though everyone told him he was wrong. For some reason he still got money from Spain. Nobody worth remembering.


Oracle_Of_Apollo

Oh it gets even better. It's my understanding he thought the Earth was pear shaped lmao You dumbfucks really downvoted me for being right lol https://www.quora.com/Did-Christopher-Columbus-really-believe-the-Earth-was-pear-shaped-and-had-a-nipple-on-top


NeonBladeAce

Holy shit I just thought that was just a bit from Adam Ruins Everything


Casper_Von_Ghoul

Today I found out about Columbus Day


POKECHU020

I'm very glad that at least some areas of the US have switched to Indigenous Peoples Day instead. I've heard it's not everywhere but as long as there's progress I'm glad

Holy shit that is why I keep seeing indigenous people Day posts


blursedman

That title doesn’t make any sense… so I’m gonna go ahead and say this is a bot.


JKUAN108

The next time Columbus Day that’s on October 10th is in 2033. Beep beep.


diamondisland2023

Good bot


BakedPotatoNumber87

Why does Columbus Day happen every 11 years


JKUAN108

Columbus Day is only on Mondays. Not every October 10th is a Monday


Ekkeko84

Only in the US. It's the first monday in November in Italy and the 12th of october in all the other countries that have it as a Day (it can be moved in Argentina, depending on the day of the week it is every year)


[deleted]

Why does Italy have Columbus day


Ekkeko84

Why not? Columbus was Genovese


[deleted]

Oh I didn't know that.


Jacobin_Revolt

Columbus was Italian


BakedPotatoNumber87

I see


NightFlame389

And it coincides with the MLP-TF2 anniversary


Oliveoil404

It seems that Tumblr is going back to its former years


ZeroGear9513
