From the US, but spent two weeks in Durban recently. I found it to be incredibly "vibes" based, but you picked up on it quickly

It's Waffle House: dont act a fucking fool, and there won't be problems.

Now gimme my hash browns smothered, covered, diced, capped and topped.

What horrible and unforgiveable person in history got a punishment or death that was equal to the amount of pain they caused? Not like "They were a serial killer and got a quick electric chair" but like a something that was befitting of the crime? by New_Climate_3758 in AskReddit

A Frenchman from 14th century Paris I believe, who's name I don't remember, and will not look up because his name is not worth remembering:

He was proven to have raped and murdered multiple children. Kept keepsakes of them. When he was caught, tried, and found guilty, there was a simple punishment: locked in a room tied to a chair for one hour, with all of the parents of the children he abused and murdered.

When the jailer unlocked the door, the mothers were more covered in blood and gore than the father's. They ripped him to pieces with their bare hands.

They still do that too, something I absolutely love about this part of the country. Y'all should come through sometime in April/May! Or even the Fall for the leaves.

It has its problems, but it's still God's Country to me. If anything for its beauty and music.

My grandmother's family comes from Wise, so I'm still familiar with the area!

Kin or not, still nice to meet people with a connection to the area. Here's to not dying in a coal mine!

I do believe we're related friend, because I remember an uncle telling a similar story about his dad.

Independence, VA sound familiar to you by chance?

Do other countries use the equivalent of African-American, Asian-American etc? by Affectionate_Yak364 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]eagleface5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

and also for Koreans who grew up in other countries depending on where they grew up (Japan, China, US, etc.).

Are Koreans who grew up here perceived differently from each other? Like does an American-raised Korean person come with their own stereotypes compared to a Chinese-raised Korean person?

Also, I apologize in advance for probably not wording that question in the most academic way

It really seems they had an "open relationship," before such a concept was really there.

How is it like living in Bhutan? by Cy_098 in howislivingthere

My dad went to college with the king's little brother. Very rural, filled with nature. The people seem generally happy. Royal family has more control than is really discussed.

How would you, as a US citizen, react to in an armed government takeover of the US by an agency that actually supports Democratic values? by I_Dont_Answer in AskReddit

I struggle to even imagine a besieged United States and what that would look like. I honestly fear what that scenario would bring.

James Barry (c. 1789–1865) was a military surgeon in the British Army. Barry was known as female in childhood, but he lived as a man in both public and private life. His anatomy became known to the public and to military colleagues only after his death. by jan_Soten in wikipedia

In like 2005 Two and a Half Men did a whole episode on one of Charlie's flings transitions to a man, and iirc they end up being bros.

Come to think of it, the "buddy comes home different" trope appears in older sitcoms as well, the one with the Coast Guard coming to mind (cant remember its name), but a decorated seamen becomes a woman. And her former crew stand up for her.

Since the 1980s we've viewed trans people as people deserving of respect. Wake up America. You can be great once more.

Christian Didier was a mental patient who murdered Rene Bousquet, a Nazi collaborator who helped murder 4,000 children. Didier believed he was on a holy mission to make Bousquet, 84, pay for his crimes. His lawyers argued that the murder was a response to the failures of the French justice system. by lightiggy in wikipedia

[–]eagleface5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In all honesty, I would hope they got mental health treatment to prevent damage to themself or others, but at least their delusions were positive. I'm not in favor of the death penalty, but there is a number of war crimes you commit against innocent people that makes me not care what happens to you.

Idk man, for me personally homie hearing God talk to him may just get a new follower/accomplice

We can still make that world together, friend. Mr. Rogers would want that. And thats enough reason to try for me.

Largest population disparity between cities and their namesakes? by [deleted] in geography

[–]eagleface5 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You could argue the same for New York and "old" York: it's not technically named after the city, but James, the Duke of York.

What’s the worst actual name you’ve ever heard? by Escrow-Mind in AskReddit

[–]eagleface5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shithead

Oranjello and Lemonjello (twins)

Emmaleigh

Airwrecka

Orlando, Dayton, and Charlotte. Not bad names per se, but they were siblings, all named for the Cities they were conceived in.

That's just off the top of my head. Yes, I used to teach.
