I like Pratchett’s take. The Tooth Fairy of the Discworld takes the baby teeth and hides them in his domain because pieces of a person can be used for sympathetic magic, like cursing someone, and he wants to protect the kids from that.

As a fellow American, we really don’t need any help looking bad at the moment, so you can stop now.

Or, if someone doesn’t have the enzymes to digest it, it sits in their stomach and rots, which is fun.

It’s even more fun if you’re actually allergic to the proteins in meat, but I digress.

Wow, who hurt this guy? They’re like, every bad terminally online never-talked-to-a-real-woman cliche.

They’re kind of being an asshole all over the thread. I don’t know why women asking men to not comment in a women’s forum has them so hot and bothered, but it sure has them on the warpath lol.

Ummm… what do you think the park picnic space rentals are?

Also, parks with camping have reserved spots.

Seems to me either you don’t get out much, or you are one of those assholes that refuses to leave a space someone already paid to rent.

Yeah, if they didn’t have such bad engine and transmission issues as they get older I’d probably go for another one. As it is, I was thinking of a venza, but like hell that’s happening anymore.

I don’t. I remember tales my grandparents told me of what their parents went through in the Great Depression. I have 0 interest in experiencing any of those things myself.

5 & 6. Wonder if 6 followed my great-grandmother over from Minnesota?

Wow. When I saw the article I figured it would be bad, but that’s even worse than I expected lol

What is it with these idiots trying to re-brand racism and reinvent phrenology every few decades? Are they stupid enough to believe they’re the first to think of shit like this, or are they hoping we’re dumb enough to fall for it this time around?

I mean, it does make sense if you have a tribalist worldview. Less people means more resources for your tribe, after all.

And, if you make it so that ‘other tribe’ has some kind of easy identifier they can’t change, like skin color, then you know who to throw out on sight!

Some people are just more tribal-minded than others. They’ve done studies and it’s pretty consistent that republicans/conservatives have a far more tribal mindset. Which tends to go hand-in-hand with a desire for a ‘strong leader’ and a strict tribal hierarchy.

Unfortunately that tends to translate to whoever bullshits the best because they’re reacting off instinct rather than thinking about things, which makes it easy for scam artists like Trump that talk a big game to appeal to them.

They just don’t care. Those people can’t add value to their companies, so they see them as ‘surplus’ and want them to die.

Grief is love.

Man, when Berry Goldwater thinks that’s a problem…

I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do because I notice it always coincides with their own desires.

The case was settled for £58 million, leaving the claimants with £12 million after legal costs.

Ewwww

So I don’t know where you live, but in the US the First Amendment covers pretty firmly that this is allowed. The Sheriff had literally no grounds to arrest him.

I mean, maybe, but in my case I’m sure a good part of it was neither of my parents were good cooks lol

If I didn’t watch them make it, it was pretty hard to tell if the veggies were canned or not; they boiled fresh veggies to the same consistency as the canned ones.

For women it’s a two-way street. Yes, it gets you more jobs and more friends, but it definitely also gets the creeps lined up around the block. Plus, some of those friends and jobs only happened because someone wanted to bang you, and that gets dangerous fast.

Source: one of my friends in high school had looks that I literally saw stop traffic. But hoooly shit did guys especially seem to think her looks were an open invitation, and most of them weren’t subtle about it either.

Because their definition of ‘white’ is ‘rich upper class’, because India is so classist it isn’t even funny. So they think they’re part of the ‘white crowd’.
