This screams "I'm so insecure that I must silence any and all criticisms."

What a pathetic human being.

What do you think Clarence Thomas would do for a Klondike bar? Do you think he'd support this weird, smart person recruiting bullshit? Absolutely.

That makes me unreasonably happy. Thanks for sharing!

Give them a taste of their own medicine and they shriek that you've poisoned them.

Okay, this is off topic, but when did the media start photoshopping Trump's hard water stained hair from yellow to white? I almost didnt recognize him.

Also, people need to realize that Trump goes through scape goats like paper towels. Need a group to blame for something? Choose from a list of people white supremacists hate.

Really? Because I recall the first woman hung in Salem for witchcraft was hung because being unable to say the Lord's prayer in english(she spoke gaelic) means you're a witch.

I wonder which one is canonically correct? Can the devil say bible words or not? Or is it specifically the lords prayer? Because if that's it then we can prove we ARENT the devil.

I hate religious rhetoric so much. My brain hurts now trying to make it make sense.

My old early 2000s Ford focus that had manual windows and locks died a few years ago. I miss that car, but towards the end every door handle broke and only the back passenger door opened from the outside... which means I always I had to leave a window down(no key hole on that door) or climb through the trunk.

Unfortunately Ford decided to make car doors using a tiny piece of plastic that holds the wire that moves when you pull the handle. When that breaks the handle goes limp and does nothing. But you can't just replace that piece of plastic... nope. You have to buy a whole new internal mechanism.

Like i said that car died finally, but I'm still salty about the doors. Those broke one at a time about 5-10 years before the engine went. Anyway, sorry about the rant. I loved my not electric windows and doors, but never expected that issue with it down the road.

That guy sucks for keeping wild animals without the proper certification and training resulting in no medical care for the animals.

At the same time I'm also skeptical of how the state handled it because I feel it's important to remember that policies and how situations are handled can always use improvement.

For example, how did the investigator get bitten? Were they wearing proper protective gear and following procedure? Was he or she properly trained to detain animals like a squirrel? If the state is going to send people to confiscate wild animals a bite incident is a big fucking deal and there should be an internal investigation as to how that happened. For both the future safety of the employees and animals.

This whole situation sucks.

Do people really buy new phones every year? I keep mine for a minimum of 4-5 years and always have. I had one for so long that it was no longer supported and I was forced to upgrade.

I guess I just never paid attention to how often other people get new phones, but every year seems excessive.

I wanted to find that article before I responded to you, but like I said it read about 10 years ago and not having much luck finding it.

But yes wetnurses were available to all women because not all women can produce breast milk.

If one poor woman's baby is starving it was not uncommon for a friend or sister to fulfill that role to help them. Women were pregnant more frequently due to no birthcontrol. So a woman lactating was more common. However they weren't hiring a wet nurse in the same way the wealthy were, and if a poor woman could feed her baby she would. A rich woman(almost) always hired a wet nurse regardless of her ability to produce milk.

I read once that it had more to do with not seeing wealthy women's nipples. For example wealthy women would hire a wet nurse to breast feed their babies. It was a way to show off wealth and social standing. So the hired help in the form of a wet nurse could show her breasts, but her wealthy employer would not because its beneath her.

So not showing breasts, even for the purpose of breast feeding became affiliated with wealth and power, whereas the inverse was true, showing breasts meant you could not afford to keep them covered.

And that's not even including the influence of brothels and prostitution.

Let that cook for however many hundreds of years, mix in religion and you get whatever the fuck we have now.

It was an interesting theory and seemed to make sense to me. I'll have to try to find the article later. I read it maybe 10 years ago so it might take some looking.

You should look up 'proud flesh' on horses(warning, its a graphic skin condition). It's what I think of everytime I see proud boys, except somehow they're more disgusting.
