In my day, courting involved dancing skyclad under a full moon, burnt blood offerings, and—this is truly the worst one—you had to talk to people on the landline
Like, cables ran THROUGH THE EARTH, all manner of demonic voices came out & you were just supposed to say, “hi! this is Kerry speaking!”

for comparison (and it's not a direct comparison): when my wife arrived here at the start of 2016, they added a third language test but you only had to do it if you'd arrived within 6 months of it being introduced. expanding that out to "major rules can change inside of a 5 year period" is very bad
