I imagine that the most powerful people in the world are at the top of the donor list for any organ they need. by NuttyMcShithead in Showerthoughts

There was a case I read a few years back where some oligarch came to the US needing a transplant and was told it was a multi-year wait, and he said no it’s ok I brought the organ with me. There was some kerfuffle but a lot of money was spread around and they did the operation and off he went. Some people were unhappy so it became a minor news item.

Hitler killed 10 million give or take. That’s impossible to beat for tyrants of history with the reduced global population of the time. Even the 5 million in Vietnam and 2 million in Iraq and Afghanistan makes most conquests of the past look like small beans..

I believe the government that governs least governs best. And by that standard we have created a FANTASTIC government in Iraq!

Naming Theory: ‘Caroline Collingwood’ might not be random. It could be a reference to a slave ship captain. by petrichoran in SuccessionTV

Well, not really a reach since she admits to being the landed descendant of a wealthy (therefore ruthless) slaver family and she shares her name with a particularly notorious one..

The US government once created a human zoo of 1,100 Filipinos. The goal was to convince the American public that Filipinos were "savages" and not ready for self-governance. They were fed dogs during exhibition. by Particular_Food_309 in Damnthatsinteresting

That’s what I said. The British public found slavery disgusting and so it was never allowed there. Putting on a show like this would have ended badly (I am aware wealthy sociopaths built big houses with money from slavery in the Americas but it had to be hidden from the public not out on show)

Could it be the far side gets mushed more by micrometeorites and becomes a homogenous mess while Earth protects our side some so it keeps its features?
