I adapted something like that when making my comics (I mean there's a reason they call it Comic Sans) and it has stuck.

Did you learn how you got that?

As a parent or as a kid?

 

What’s their story?

That is situational. Preferably people don't lie. However, nuance can make it inevitable.

I once watched an anime called Usagi Drop. In it, the oldest member in an enormous family, who was in his eighties, ends up, ahem, "going around", and he dies having fathered a girl, who, in the big picture of the family's family tree, is the great aunt of several of the characters who are well into adulthood. Japan is a nation that considers such matters highly controversial and stigmatized, and this was a major plot point in the show. The young adult characters decide it's best to "adopt" her and not reveal her origins as a form of protection. Would totally recommend the anime nevertheless.

Can you imagine if the Allies were fighting the Axis powers, and while making the ghost army, the Allies were like "yeah, those tanks are inflatables, it's Normandy we'll be going after"?

If I was a mother to a poly teen, I'd welcome them as if it were any kind of relationship. People who prefer a type of relationship typically do so because something in it is beneficial (obviously). Poly relationships are no different from LGBT ones where there is a driving force towards it, and there's nothing "wrong" with it. The rules of love are what the participants make of it and agree on (look up relationship anarchy).

Did they use tokens and prize tickets too?

I like that game too.

I've heard of the rabbit plague but never would've made that connection.

Always found it akin to the perfect example of Murphy's Law that humans are the one invasive species that doesn't thrive well there.

This would probably be the gist of my answer as well, both as an observer as well as someone in a dispute.

I've watched my best friends fight battles one could say are incredibly unnecessary, from the guy best friend having his family torn apart by the CPS based on false accusations before they went after his mom to harass her since they couldn't successfully arrest her like they could with his dad on a false basis, to his GF (my other best friend) constantly having friends pulled away from her, to what me and my BF have gone through often (it should be noted what we consider the actual issue and what their active ingredients are has differed).

Ironically I generally don't have the negative relation with officials that these other experiences would imply I would have. I'm more accurately described as someone the people always seem to be after, not the officials in a society, albeit it might be said semantics don't do that justice until it has been paraphrased a few times. Another way it's been explained is that I incur "guerilla dissatisfaction" and that even seeming technicalities have some element of that, even when I'm being productive in its face, with their "three weapons" being denial, justification, and pretending to not understand.

On the authoritarian side of things, it has only been recently (as in an epiphany that dropped out of nowhere some weeks ago) realized that an enormous amount of what could be called covert targeted bias against some of us, especially when the individuals who the bias is in favor of have the bias in favor of them as a form of some sort of social prestige, has been or is boiled down to secretly wanting to "humble" the person the bias is against.

Example:

A superior might say out loud "you acted in self defense against a killer, but it was still assault, so I'm going to give you a bigger sentence than the person who killed your dog."

In their minds: "maybe this is the perfect tool to humble them, they never seemed humble to me and an extraordinary large sentence might serve as a good character builder, not actually given to punish them."

And people wonder why sociopathy exists.

 

So I'm fairly social for someone like me and have done my fair share of talking to people as well as toward people, some talks being more passionate than others, so I guess having my odds of this reduced is a factor here when I say occasionally "projecting" will be brought up during a conversation. One should "stop projecting" they might say. It's always in an accusatory kind of context, with being described a certain way by someone else often being connected to the latter person fitting what they're thinking of.

Is this... a meme for a lack of a better word? Where does this conceivably come from? Seeing such a thing all the time, I can't fathom the mindset, it seems so faulty my mind groups it in with grievance misapplication. Why would someone play hot potato with things even deemed to be things nobody should be handling like it's second nature? How could someone in control subconsciously see instinct in this? What happened the last time this came up for you, when did it turn out to be the case?

 

This seems to be something people don’t always give second thought to. When people talk about the homeless, the first things thought about are images of people on busy city streets in rusty clothes waiting around near allies. In there, the answer is quite static, because it can be I guess. But if that’s the case, change the setting and that changes too. In the places where I’ve lived, people often needed that mapped out. Where are they known in your rural locales?

 

To those from the Western hemisphere, it’s always fascinating to hear that some homes and businesses from the times of the Greek philosophers still have inhabitants, and then you remember that the Western hemisphere is itself not without its own examples, for example some Mexican villages still have temples from the times of the Mayans.
