If we just extend that rule to everyone we'd have better cheaper stuff and fewer rich people to boot.

When I worked in a mall, there were no staff toilets. So I was subjected to a slightly less extreme version of that maybe 2-3 times a week.

I call that symphony "ringing the taco bells".

When WC1 first launched the one selling point that everyone mentioned was that if you click on units enough times they get annoyed and say "stop poking me!"

Warcraft was always heavy on the whacky, that's its whole thing.

As medieval and renaissance scholars regained interest in the pagan past, they wrote about it in latin. That's why we still largely use the latinized names.

These scholars used latin partly because it was the lingua franca of their elite audience, but also that way the only people who could read it would have had a proper church education. And thus less likely to be lead from the path of righteousness by these pagans and all their wicked thinkin'.

This practice of using latin for religiously risque material continues well into the modern period, where the sexy parts of native american myths were marked by an abrupt shift into latin. I believe the first scientific account of penguin necrophilia was written in latin as well.

Rebury the disarticulated ochre-painted bones of an important deceased community member!

Under the house is the best place for them.

Yeah, I've never seen or heard that either. I'm sure there our plenty of dialects where those two words sounds similar or identical.

that affirm your position.

I'm looking for news that affirms reality. Trump's public record words and actions already left no doubt that he's molested children. This writer's credible but unsourced account is just to remind people that trump has molested children, something that most people realize from trump's words, actions, associates attitude.

When something looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, hangs out with ducks, eats bread at the park, and admits in public and private to being a duck - it's unreasonable to argue that we can't assume it's a duck.

Twitter is run by a russian influence actor. Facebook has been hosting russian influence operation content for what a decade now? Fox gleefully pushes that stuff. There's a host of grifters and alt-right entry-point content online that's lousy with it.

It's crazy how much of our media space has been seized by brutal foreign oligarchs. I feel like it wouldn't have been this easy for them if we hadn't spent decades letting brutal domestic oligarchs take almost all our media space.

Take Trump out of it for a second

But then it becomes a completely different scenario.

Trump has repeatedly admitted to molesting women, he's bragged about forcing his way into women's locker rooms, he joked openly and without judgement of epstein's love of kids, he has scores of sexual assault allegations, he has enough money and clout to cover up his rapes and he's been convicted of illegally covering up legal but embarrassing sexual encounters.

Trump has definitely molested children, it is a fact. It's literally beyond a shadow of a doubt.

"Edomite!"

I was getting onto a bus, someone looked me over and spat out the word. It was clear from the tone that it was an insult, but it also sounded suspiciously bronze age, so I was very excited to find out what it meant.

Turns out it's a biblical reference used by some black nationalist groups in the US to refer to white people as unclean or diseased. Edom was one of several late bronze age Canaanite kingdoms. At one point the torah describes them as slightly paler and dirty, hence the insult.

Ah! Yep, definitely the same place!
