When my daughter was younger, she’d watch this channel that was approved for YouTube Kids called HobbyKidsTV where the parents were exploiting (I think) three kids with a fourth to come for YouTube income. And it worked. They had millions of views. I got my daughter back then to stop watching when I pointed out that they gave their kids nicknames and what they named one of them. One was “HobbyFrog.” However, there was an overweight kid (only a little bit) they called “HobbyPig.” Even at 5 or 6 when she watched it, she realized that was just a shitty way to talk about your kid.
On top of that, they did toy unboxing videos virtually daily. You could tell that toys were just not special for those kids anymore and that the parents were just making them do it.
My favorite part was how her hair was in a beautiful and much more complicated knot in the premier episode, then it was a mangled mess after Voyager was thrown to the Delta Quadrant, but they make a show of her fixing it into the simpler knot with her bare hands while walking the corridors from one disaster to another....

I remember when some asshole racist told me that black people smelled bad when I was a kid. I spent ages sniffing the air when I was near a black person trying to figure out if I could smell them. I’m glad I can’t see me doing it except from my perspective, because that’s embarrassing enough.
As long as there is also a negligent attempted manslaughter charge (or whatever the charge for ‘almost killing people with your car you stupid fuck’ would be). Hopefully more than careless driving.
His reputation, future, and even perhaps the White House’s destiny, will on Wednesday be placed in the hands of 12 citizens of his native New York City, proving that not even once-and-possibly future commanders in chief are above the law....
When did I say anything about being injured or killed? If you don’t know how awful it is to be personally attacked by a bigot for just being who you are, congratulations on being privileged.
But like I said, there is pretty much nothing I could possibly say to convince some people that Israel helps foment anti-Jewish sentiment.
There are some people I cannot convince that there is any antisemitism at all, which is its own form of bigotry.
The original Wikipedia article had a link to that. Sorry, I should have added it.
But I love that Chico told his wife to put a pretty blonde in his coffin with him. Apparently he was also quite the gambler and spent most of the time on set when he wasn’t filming playing cards, so that makes sense.
They really wanted to let you know how important they were back then. Which actually makes things hard for historians sometimes because it’s not clear that when they say things like, “The king who marched from opposite Tigris (from the opposite bank of the Tigris River) up to the Lebanon and the Great Sea, ruled over the land (and) the land Šabate I brought under my authority.” if that’s actually true or just bragging.
There’s definitely a lot of bragging about sizes of armies. They’ll claim they’re things like 100,000 strong when there weren’t enough men to make up an army of that size and still have society function.

If you want to show me actual evidence to support your claim that most Americans haven’t heard of it, go for it. Good luck.
Anyway, we’re not talking about the average person. We’re talking about the sort of person who hires Harvard graduates. If they don’t know about really good universities in other countries, they really suck at their job when they’re hiring people at the high end like that. So if you want to claim HR people who hire Harvard graduates suck at their jobs… well, good luck.
