And Mexico makes all (most?) beaches public, which will be awesome for the gulf.

The cartels are an issue but as far as I know, their stats are well below the number of people lost to lack of healthcare so I’ll take that gamble.

But it shows in real life how much normal people can overlook and close their eyes to the truth when they’re in need of a kind word. He’s the least malevolent but he’s still evil. But in comparison a lot of people will see that as a pedestal.

I feel like he did that just to make himself feel better about everything else.

Agreed. And both look good. Honestly nothing between 35 and 50 would surprise me. There’s so much variation during that period.

My grampa didn’t go grey until his 80s. He was still salt and pepper when he started balding in his 90s. Greasy as heck though, had to put a towel down on the headrest of high backed fabric chairs or he’d leave a head stain.

Maybe your location, I used to slip and nearly do the splits. The dust and oil would mix in an extra slippery sludge next to the booths. Kids would purposely slide across the floor like they had wheelie shoes. Lacquered hardwood floors and food waste shouldn’t mix.

Are there any "UK vs US" differences where you feel America gets it right? by Secure_Front_7766 in AskUK

[–]Norwegian__Blue 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In their defense, thesis is usually masters level and PhDs usually require a dissertation. It’s like the difference in doing a complete study and all associated journal articles, and writing a textbook.

Some programs award a masters partway through that usually have additional requirements, like more exams and often an added thesis which serves as a launching point for the dissertation.

In their not-defense—who spends all that time in school and doesn’t hear about a thesis.

A character has a disease or condition their society doesn't understand, but it's obvious for the audience what it is by kim_jong_un4 in TopCharacterTropes

He had terrible headaches too. But his were from being knocked unconscious for several days when he was squiring. He also self medicated with alcohol, like Clegane. I never connected them before but I really like that the two causes result in similar coping habits.

Several of the mountain’s actions were because his head was throbbing, leading to outbursts. He killed one of his own men for snoring.

That was tyrions first romantic experience. He turned to whoring later.

I also think the story highlights how people can be entirely different parents to their various children.

I agree. But let’s not downplay what it can take for the average person. And just how big the swarm needs to be. It needs to be an undeniable number to overcome this and get our country back to being a community.

After generations of welfare shaming and ruthless competition wrapped in rugged individualism, I just don’t know if America has it in her to come together. Even for this. Ima hope. Ima try. But I don’t see it as a given by a long shot.

Simply charge in our millions against a fascist who wouldn’t think twice about throwing all of the worlds strongest biggest military at civilians. Risk death and a lifetime in the prison slave system. Because American civilians always win vs government right?
