Pro tip: used book sales do not generate royalties. I bought the full set of HP from a local used bookstore with no guilt.

Only unborn ones- ones outside the womb can pull themselves up by the bootstraps and learn to defend themselves. /s

The Catholic church expressed clear support for Hitler's Nazi party. It's almost like shitbirds of a feather flock together to oppress minorities.

The Battle of Britain during WW2 destroyed a lot of British cities, major ports, and industrial centres, to the point that the rations system continued into the 1950s because the country was broke and rebuilding.

I'm sure Nestle has already thought of that.

This scam is as old as time. A person in a bad place in their life and/or let hormones make their decisions is vulnerable to these. People considered 'intelligent' get duped in scams too.

The government's efforts have been misguided because they won't acknowledge the systemic issues: work culture and sexism. Instead they have pushed monetary programs and are confused as to why they're not working.

When discussing demographics, fertility simply means the number of children born (TFR- total fertility rate).

Brief answer: prosperity gospel

Bayer was also an equally immoral company before it bought Monsanto. What the buyout did was open opportunities for groups seeking legal action against Monsanto.

If I understand correctly, there's a way to get permission to enter if it's been a certain amount of time after the conviction and it was a non-violent offense.

When I worked in retail, anecdotally, it was my understanding that most theft was internal. At Real Canadian Superstore (think Walmart Supercenter, but not Walmart) I saw lots of my coworkers steal all kinds of things. We went through one loss prevention after another, fired for, you guessed it, stealing (ironic, I know). Most of my co workers stole their food for their meal breaks. I very rarely saw or heard of a customer being caught stealing. And no, no one reported others to management.

With the state of some public utilities, dysentery won't be far behind.

Apparently the proper term, 'natural decrease ', is much less sensational. It's all about clicks and views now, not delivering good content.

Paper terrorism is probably the best way to explain it. They will bombard courts, banks and civil services (ie- utilities, child support payments) with pages and pages of useless documents and waste hours of people's time on the phone, in person, or by mail.

Combine that with the belief that no response is acceptance and rejections are based on lies, you get the most aggressive and ignorant people that make Karen's seem pleasant.

My local Costco doesn't require a membership to buy from the cafeteria. You order from a computer and pay.

The descriptions of blood pressure headaches are inconsistent with tension headaches. Primarily, a headache that worsens with exercise/strain does not align with symptoms of a tension headache, which will remain unchanged. That being said, I am not trying to downplay the legitimate link of headaches in general with blood pressure.

China does flout the trade embargo with NK though. It's very one sided in China's favour, and there's even an exclusive train line from Dan Dong into NK. China sells NK consumer goods, and then extracts natural resources using cheap NK labour.

People who had chickenpox as children are at risk of getting shingles in later adulthood, which is supposedly awful and very painful. There's not much to like about that.

That's what LUSH does. I can barely walk by the stores without it's intense cacophony of scents assaulting my nose. It's awful.

Variable rate mortgages and loans are also available. They have not been as popular in the past few years, but when rates were lower, they were more common

She's the female Don Cherry.
