I read somewhere that - during WWII - the Brits shipped more tea, by weight, than ammunition to their units.

The Westminster System is more børked than rotten. If the PM doesn't keep enough of the fringe elements in the majority happy he's out of a job and might be asking King Charles III to disolve Parliament. Bonus: there ain't a whole lot preventing the next Parliament from undoing practically...

Heck, the Inquisition thought accusations of witchcraft were flat out nonsense. Their general response was to harshly punish the accuser.

Evidence indicates our ancestors needed about 3-4 hours/day to take care of basic needs (food, clothing, shelter, tools, &c). The rest was available to do whatever. Suppose they start their day at 6AM like someone with an 8-5 job and typical commute has to. They're done for the day before their...

Depending on what's in it a procesutor might be able to press criminal charges which stick if a school hands that to minors and the police get a complaint.

Side effect of the art style for female characters in my observation. A 17yr old girl and a 40yr old woman are usually going to look like they're about the same age if you stick them in the same outfit.

Any adult telling kids to keep secrets from their parents is probably up to some shady shit. Drilled that one into my kids at a young age.

They do, but they go unnoticed because the sane and normal ones aren't part of the Alphabet Soup Movement. They're everyday people you wouldn't notice as LGB unless they tell you they're LGB or you notice that their same-sex friend is more than just a friend.

I wasn't joking.

Where I live: if a 9 year old doesn't have at least a teenage babysitter DCS might get involved and someone might get arrested. I peeked at the wikipedia article about him. He drank Kool-Aid that's too toxic for even Satan to offer.

What is this I don't even ... *checks date* April 1st. Nevermind, carry on.

From what I know: - behaviorally modern: 50,000 years ago - anatomically modern: 250,000 years ago Fire? There's evidence that Homo erectus was using fire 2 million years ago. Wokists can't accept that and are revising things so that Homo sapiens did it first. For agriculture and cities I'll...

Clothing might have been invented by our pre-human ancestors or Neaderthals. The latter - who weren't Homo sapiens BTW - would not been able to survive a European winter without clothing.

Last April someone posted a not-ok image supposedly from Biden's laptop. The mod response to that: "The next person who does this will not be shown any mercy." (I didn't see either ... only the fallout.)

It's still naked greed but of a less obvious sort. Instead of a blatent "I want as much of your money as I can legally get" it's a supposedly subtle "I want as many children to do with as I please that I can get ahold of".

I'm not. If I were to take someone from LA to my parents lake cottage they'd probably want to take a casual stroll around the lake to "enjoy nature". Um, no, you aren't doing that. You see that pier over there with a ship next to it? That's about five miles away.

IIRC the LA river is where the drag racing scenes in Grease were filmed. What LA did to that river is a crime against nature.

If you're in LA a coyote is the least of your worries. Heck, my parents' back yard is about 1/6 the size of downtown LA in terms of area and seeing a coyote through a pair of binoculars is kinda-sorta "Tuesday".

20yrs to retirement means you're about my age (mid-40s). My grandmothers were born in '28 and did remember the Great Depression and WWII Chicago. The post-WWII rebuilding of Germany is something your grandmother certainly remembered. Her parents remembered WWI and the immediate aftermath during...

An orgy that is somehow not X-rated is my best guess.
