It's absolutely not. Fuck these tech companies.

Apple put this shit in their iCal years ago (all sorts of non US holiday crap). I found a way to remove it, but it wasn't easy.

It's really easy to do it.

Go to your Calendar app, and click on Calendars at the bottom.

Next to US Holidays, tap the colored circle with the checkmark, and turn it off. That removes the default US Holidays calendar.

Now, you probably want a US holiday calendar without the extra junk? That's the next step. Go to this URL:

https://www.calendarlabs.com/ical-calendar/holidays/us-holidays-76/

Click the Subscribe link, and it should import the calendar into your phone, and keep it updated each year.

If you want to see what holidays are included, view the PDF at that link, first.

It's amazing how you got to jump through hoops just to get the right calendar loaded. If these devices were so fuggen "smart" it should just load the correct calendar based on your locality. It's just like they use this as an opportunity to say "fuck you, dirty Americans"

The iPhone does select a calendar based on your locality. But, it only does so when you first start the phone and select your country/region. However, it doesn't change after that.

Yeah it gives you such a relevant calendar based on your us location. Fuck aapl/msft/facebox et al.

DisgustedByMisleadia -1 points ago +1 / -2

There's a setting here:

Settings->General->Language & Region->Region

United States is just one of the many choices that are available at setup, or now. If you choose another region, it should change to a calendar for that region.

This article describes the process for MacOS:

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205367

I haven't been able to find an equivalent one for iPhone, but it should be similar.

It's inaccurate. Missing something like 52 holidays: Sunday Gunday

DisgustedByMisleadia 1 point ago +2 / -1

I know you are joking, but bear with me.....

The *.ics file is just text:

https://www.calendarlabs.com/ical-calendar/ics/76/US_Holidays.ics

(Save it to your laptop and open it with any text editor)

But, the file specification provides for a repeating entry: only one would be needed for every Sunday.

Maybe someone could create a TD.win calendar file, with notable events to be observed?

STEVE_HUFFMANS_BULL 28 points ago +29 / -1

False. Allah is very real, he’s just known as “Satan” to Christians. Fun fact: after his first encounter with “Jibreel” in the cave, Mohammad was convinced he had encountered an evil jinn (basically a demon), and became suicidal. He got out of that phase after he talked to Khadijah (his first wife of many) and was persuaded that he’s actually a prophet of the Almighty, and the being that visited him was an angel. Really tells you a lot

Jesus spoke of a false prophet that was to come that would deceive many. The false prophet was mohamhead (piss be upon him).

And the Beast in revelations speaks of, not just a man, but a nation. A nation that the whole world think is dead, but could 'miraculously' rise at any time. The only thing missing is a caliphate the imams approve of and the Ottoman Empire has a major foothold in every country on the planet.

I remember Apple putting some of these "holidays" on my calendar so I stopped using their recommendations. I can understand they are trying to be inclusive, but Muslim holidays are not US holidays.

15
TD_Covfefe_Crusader 15 points ago +15 / -0

If they want to have a selection called "World Religious Holidays" and put it in there, that's fine, but putting it under "US Holidays" is horse shit. They have Earth Day listed there as well.

I unsubscribed from the default iCloud calendars because Apple kept adding certain holidays and holidays celebrated by like 9 people in the world. Typical SJW bullshit from the silicon valley mafia. I found a replacement calendar comprised of nothing but normal US holidays.

My brother has taken over making our family calendars. It's an old tradition where we print up calendars with photos of everyone in the extended family each month who has a birthday or anniversary. The first year he did it, a couple years ago, all of the Muslim holidays were printed. I gave him so much shit for it. Our family isn't Muslim and we don't celebrate or recognize any of the holidays. They were just "on the default list" and he saw nothing wrong with keeping them.

Next year they were gone, though.

Nope! A holiday is what happens when we declare islam is not a religion and we ban that shit.

As a Dutchman, I would say that every day is a US Holiday called Freedom day.

I don't want to be a Dutchman anymore. Our contsitution, sovereignty and freedom are on fire.

I hope immigration into the US becomes a legal possibility again soon, otherwise there might be an illegal alien supporting Trump in the US some day in the not so distant future. ^(I mean that in jest; to immigrate illegally would be contrary to the fundamental ideals that the US is currently succesfull upholding which in the first place would move me to do so.)

Islam is not compatible with American values or Western Civilization and no coexistence is possible. Therefore, Islam must be destroyed.

Muhammed was a schizophrenic pedophile who enjoyed sex with animals and other men.

Muslims inbreed at a very high rate.

Burn the Koran.

Glass Mecca.

Deport ALL muslims. They are agents of a hostile political ideology that disguises itself as a religion. Islam is not protected by the United States Constitution and has no place in our Nation.
