Let’s not do the ‘every Christian’ thing. It’s worth remembering the US has a very ‘unique’ type of Christian.
This. There is evidence that a preacher called Jesus existed, was crucified, and was well-regarded enough to start a following that persisted even after his death.
There isn’t, however, strong historical evidence for any of the magical parts of it.
Garfield and Jon at hospital. Garfield, his pipe lit.
Is this what happens if you type 5318008 too often?
Fact 1 - sexually active people subconsciously look at peoples’ crotches when meeting them.
Fact 2 - evolution doesn’t fine tune things if they’re good enough to get the job done well.
So the fact that pubic hairs are unsightly crazy-looking things might not be because they are fine tuned to be like that - it might just be because they do their job well enough and they just ended up looking like that.
What job could that be?
To confirm visually that you are sexually mature.
That may literally be it - a localised fuzzy indicator of whether or not you’re able to make babies.
We’ll still have diversity (such as it is) - we have more than two parties.
If the local elections are anything to go by, however, the Tories have slipped into third place for the first time in history.
(Of course, I’m not daft enough to think local elections accurately predict general elections).
I’m not trying to downplay the reality of serious health concerns sometimes being behind food habits, but I think I need to say…
Picky eating is an absolutely normal part of child development. Anecdotally, both of my kids went through two distinct phases of picky eating, at around 3-5 and 8-11.
They gradually grow out of it. All you can do is try to make sure what they are eating is nutritious enough while they are going through it.
Dry cereal always worked (still does!) as a nutritious snack. Granted, the nutrition has all been sprayed on, but it’s still there.
A little mixed tub of Cornflakes/Branflakes/Rice Crispies/Coco Pops always goes down well.
Nerf Herder have a song called Courtney about Courtney Love.
You have to remember that America’s political spectrum is skewed heavily to the right.
‘Liberals’ only appear left-wing because your centre ground is much further to the right than many other developed countries.
In other countries ‘Liberals’ occupy the centre ground, with the left and right wings on either side.
I always wanted a Nokia - I know it was a cliche, but I was amazed at how indestructible they were. Even when they did actually break apart, you could just pick up the bits, clip them back together, and it would just work again - with no visible damage.

I started university in 1999. Pretty much everyone had a mobile phone there. They were fairly new, granted, but they were pretty ubiquitous.
I know it doesn’t help, but Europeans have always been amazed how much you guys were charged for SMS. Even in 1999, over here messages cost a fraction of what you were charged - that you pay for them at all these days is just mind-boggling.
But this is exactly the point - the market isn’t free, it’s being controlled. Primarily by companies that are buying up as many properties as they can.
The trouble is that ratcheting up the tax on additional homes won’t discourage anyone - the additional costs can just be passed on to the renters.
I’d suggest making it illegal for companies to own residential property for longer than 12 months.
Hopefully this would free up enough homes to bring prices back down.
I think it depends on the convention used in each country, so there isn’t one global correct answer.
In Britain the convention is Ground, 1st Floor, 2nd Floor.
As a Brit, I always assumed the American system worked like that because of freedom or something.
Ayyyyyyy-ch P Sauce.
if they don’t have some already, 100% on the Brio train set - except not Brio. The generic wooden railway sets are just as good nowadays, and many many times cheaper.
You can buy a whole dinosaur themed wooden railway set on Amazon for £37. I’d want that, even as an adult!
FWIW, both of my kids played with their wooden railway for years - seriously good investment.
