It's not "Ok", it just can't really be changed however, there is a decent amount of activities for indigenous people's now. It's about understanding and knowing the history. It's a joke, so not to be taken so seriously, despite being somewhat accurate, but they also aren't removing anything to send back to where it originated, unless something big enough about it comes up, which is very rare for it to happen.

very funny but at least the contents are not in the hands of a few filthy rich people and the entrance to the museum is free for all !
Does this add up though? As a Briton with an interest in scientific stuff. I have only seen this on BP. I'll happily agree that is true to some extent, however I'd also like to know how much other countries have taken for their national museums. Even if 'we' have taken many times more than other countries - which seems to be the argument - can *a few buildings* really hold significant proportions of all other cultural antiquities, such their native relics are seriously depleted because of it? Is it possible that, over the centuries, a larger proportion have been destroyed by war, sold to private collectors, or disintegrated due to lack of care? Three outcomes which I would argue did not happen through the BM.

Then everyone applauded. If you're standing within six feet of someone or you have covid, or you're likely to sneeze of cough, yes, you absolutely should wear a mask. The big controversy was this: the government said that the virus was found in aerosols (suspended particles), so you needed to wear a mask even if you were more than six feet. But the masks can't filter out aerosols (and with a surgical mask, most of your breath is not passing through the mask). Masks CAN however prevent particles from being aerosolized in the first place, so anyone who has any reason to believe they may carry the virus (recent exposure, symptoms, etc.) should ABSOLUTELY ALWAYS wear a mask when indoors and out and about or near someone.

(Traveled and went to a PGA tournament where many people from Korea and Japan were present) We didn't make fun of them. I actually like wearing a mask because I have pollen allergies. Who cares if someone wears a mask, it's not hurting you.
I know I shouldn't have laughed but, I would have loved to see there faces
Just as a digression (really OT.) There is a amusing aspect to people using the term 'sheep' as an insult. Mathew 25:31-33 has Christ separating the sheep (followers of Christ) from the goats (those that don't follow Christ) as a metaphor for Judgement, and the End Times. Where this gets hilarious is that most of the people calling out the 'sheeple' consider themselves Christian, if not saved.

When I was in university, I had an acting teacher who drilled into us the importance of “Dukes of Hazzard Turns”. I know all of you pandas out there might not get the reference (don’t worry, I didn’t either at first), so I’ll explain what he meant by that. In the 80s sitcom The Dukes of Hazzard, there were many reckless driving scenes where the characters would take abrupt, sharp turns, so anyone watching could have never anticipated where the driver was heading. What my acting teacher wanted to see from us with “Dukes of Hazzard Turns” was sharp contrasts in our characters.
It’s exciting to watch people quickly change their tactics in pursuing their objectives; audiences eat it right up. So I can’t help but think of that acting professor when viewing the photos from the “Hol’up” subreddit. All of these posts definitely have “Dukes of Hazzard Turns” within them. Some of them are surprisingly wholesome, while others get dark very fast. But as readers, we love these sudden plot twists, and we can’t get enough of them.
Florida
Fun fact: Florida gets all the wack-job news largely because its state laws make it super-easy for journalists to discover and confirm police interactions with crazies. Plus, between Miami, Orlando, the panhandle, the space center, the retirement communities, the recently arrived immigrants, the rednecks, the homelessness-friendly climate (California has 20x more homeless, however), the ports of entries for new types of drugs, ... you get a lot of cultures recombining in odd ways.

It’s no secret that audiences love plot twists. We see them in films like Get Out, Gone Girl, Parasite, Scream and countless other classics. But what is it about these sudden turns that we can’t get enough of? According to Vera Tobin, a researcher at Case Western Reserve University, movies “exploit our natural tendency to anticipate what’s coming next.” So it can be extremely exciting when our expectations are proven wrong by a shocking plot twist and extremely disappointing when we somehow stumble upon a spoiler.
Tobin explains that we all want to have some idea of what we’re getting ourselves into when we read a book or watch a film, so we’re interested in knowing the genre. But the “curse of knowledge” comes into play when we’re worried about something being spoiled. “You only have one opportunity to learn something for the first time,” Tobin writes. “Once you’ve learned it, that knowledge affects what you notice, what you anticipate – and even the limits of your imagination.”

Oh s**t. Imagine spending 20 yrs in the penitentiary cause a koala framed your a*s.
Tobin goes on to explain that plot twists can also do a great job of pulling everything together in a story. “A major part of the pleasure of plot twists, too, comes not from the shock of surprise, but from looking back at the early bits of the narrative in light of the twist,” she notes. “The most satisfying surprises get their power from giving us a fresh, better way of making sense of the material that came before. This is another opportunity for stories to turn the curse of knowledge to their advantage. Once we know the answer to a puzzle, its clues can seem more transparent than they really were. When we revisit early parts of the story in light of that knowledge, well-constructed clues take on new, satisfying significance.”

Kinda reminds me of the show Playing it Straight. One woman, 10 guys. Woman has to end up with a straight guy to win £ by eliminating the guys she thinks are gay. EDIT: SPOILERS FOR UK SEASON 1 (if anyone manages to find it) The guy she chose turned out to be gay and so he won, she lost. I remember hearing that he felt so bad (think she kind of fell for him) that he gave her the prize money and she split it with him 50/50.

Load More Replies...Easy Ways To Kill A Husband?
Actually as long as she isn't stupid enough to take her mobile phone when she drives his dead body away. She might just get away with it. 😕
Load More Replies..."We found this body 12 feet underground with a dead animal on top to throw off our hounds. Whatcha think he died of?" "pathology says undiagnosed diabetes" "Really? Ok, case closed then"
If it was undiagnosed diabetes the blood sugar would be ridiculously high. Insulin makes it do the opposite, so I really don't think pathology would conclude that.
Load More Replies...The insulin idea is very true, but my question is, how do you inject insulin under his tongue? Just tell him to say “ah” and he lets you? That part needs to be rethought. An insulin needle is so small that injecting it into his scalp, while he’s sleeping, he won’t feel it and it will be way to difficult to find the nearly invisible mark. But you have to get the fast acting insulin and inject the entire syringe. That will be that. Dead weight is true. It takes 2 nurses, three if he’s a big guy, to wrap in a shroud. Getting him to the car and up into the trunk will also need to be well thought out. Do you know how difficult it is to dig down 12 feet? And you’ve got to get yourself out after you’re done. Dead animal. Where are you going to get one. Kill one to bring with you? They’re going to be looking at you, first thing. You had your car detailed?🧐. If not, they’re going to match the dirt that will be in your car. Nope. This won’t work. Give me time to think. I may have some ideas.
That's too complicated. The easiest way it to inject air into someone's veins. The bubble will travel to the heart, the heart won't be able to compress, then the victim will go into cardiac arrest and by the time they're opened up to see what killed them, the bubbles will have popped and it'd look like a classic case of a heart attack.
Wow. You've thought about this? or are you in the medical field and just happen to know this?
Load More Replies...A lot of this is in the wrong order and why more people get caught. You don't put a dead body in your trunk and then drive around doing all that other stuff. You scout the spot, dig the hole, drive back and get more tools you didn't realize you need to dig a 12 foot hole, place the dead animal near the hole. THEN you get him near the hole and vulnerable on some pretext (surprise camping and bondage play?), do the rest, fill the hole, go home and act surprised that he didn't return home. Emphasis on "/S". If you are seriously considering any of this you are a bad human being.
Yep. That part is backwards. Perhaps they'd assume he was severely hypoglycemic. But not diabetic. And injected insulin comes in several forms, all of it synthetic. His blood sugar would be measured in the normal panel of tests, and detecting it abnormally low, he could be tested for more substances. Synthetic insulin would not show up as naturally produced human insulin.
Load More Replies...You would need a backhoe to dig a hole 12 feet deep. I would imagine that sort of thing would get noticed pretty quickly.
No you don't. But yes if you want to do it easily. I've seen 60 foot holes dug by hand (mines in Kenya) and the well on our family farm (deeper than 12' but not sure how deep) was dug by hand. Again, planning ahead and taking your time. lol
Load More Replies...or you can plant endangered plants over the body so the areas won't be disturbed
Yeah, but where would you get the plants? Wouldn’t it cost a lot of money? Wouldn’t someone notice?
Load More Replies...But the joy of being surprised doesn’t only come from plot twists in films and books. As this list makes very clear, we can have “Hol’up” moments in our daily lives at any moment, and our brains still love them, even when they’re not scripted. “It’s a strong neuro alert that tells us that something is important about this moment and we have to pay attention,” Tania Luna, the co-author of Surprise: Embrace the Unpredictable and Engineer the Unexpected, told The Takeaway, explaining the “surprise sequence”. “Our cognitive resources are basically hijacked and pulled into the moment. That’s one of the things that’s really uncomfortable for some people, but also exciting for some people because your attention is completely in the moment.”

Load More Replies...Speaking for the US: There are many different Native American groups and while many (if not most) prefer Native American to Indian, there are some who do prefer the term Indian or American Indian. They are also all individuals who, regardless of what group they belong to, have their own preferences. Most, if not all, groups prefer to be called by the name of their group, and better yet, their own name for their group. When I lived on the Navajo reservation I was told Native American was preferable to Indian, Navajo to Native American, and Dine (their own term for their people) to Navajo. Other groups and individuals will have other preferences. There are no easy one-size-fits all answers. The term "redskin" is generally always seen as offensive and should be avoided.
I feel I should add that some groups and individuals prefer the terms native (not Native American, just native) or indigenous.
Load More Replies...its funny that the people who said that it was offensive to have the native on land o lakes and aunt Jemima removed are the same ones that want representation across the board. Now with the native and aunt Jemima the only mascots or what not are white.

And if you’re a person who considers a surprise party to be your worst nightmare, Luna says that it’s possible to become more open to the idea over time. “I think about surprise in two perspectives: Embracing it and engineering it,” she told The Takeaway. “You have to train your brain to be more comfortable accepting surprise, and by that I also mean surprise readiness—being comfortable with uncertainty, ambiguity and change. Especially these days, that’s an incredibly important skill.”

' My grandma rocked.
😳
Seriously though, stop giving Christmas puppies; so many of them end up in animal shelters by February.
Even though she’s an expert on surprise now, Luna admits that she wasn’t always a fan. “I hated being surprised—I loved surprising others, but I hated being surprised myself,” she told The Takeaway. “[I hated] the feeling of loss of control and the feeling of vulnerability. As a kid, I had experienced a lot of change and my coping mechanism was to say, ‘I’m in charge. I control everything. Nobody controls me and I can control the world around me.’ I was protecting myself from negative surprises. But what I’ve learned is that I was also keeping out joy, wonder, and emotional intensity.”

I remember asking a question about this to the priest when I was in catechism. It didn't go well. I was put into an empty room to "pray and ask for forgiveness". I came out of that room an atheist. I was 11.
Asked my R.E. teacher at school this one and he said God made it okay for Eve to breed with her own Kids so it wasn't incest and also made it so the babies didn't turn out Mutated. Asked "when did God change his mind on that?" and he said "it's in the Bible" which I'm pretty sure it isn't - true story :D
My racist MIL said something racist so I (an atheist) asked her why she doesn't love all people since we are all related to Adam and Eve according to the Bible, I thought her head was going to explode. She never spoke about religion with me again.
I think the implication is that Adam lived to be 900+ years old (think about THAT all you need) so he and Eve probably had hundreds of kids. Only three of which were named in their relatively short section of the book of genesis. Either way, lots of glorious incest going on.
When I was in HS in the early 80's and asked my Rabbi this, his answer was they had daughters the bible doesn't talk about. The fact that they did have daughters that the bible doesn't talk about doesn't make this less weird... trust me on that
Adam and Eve didn't just have three sons. "The days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years; and he had other sons and daughters. Thus all the days that Adam lived were 930 years, and he died." -Genesis 5:4-5
well, this actually would explain a lot..... if it were not complete bullsh!t.
I told my very religious bible thumper aunt that according to the Bible we are all a product of incest. She went to my Mom and told on me. LMAO
What about Lilith? She refused to submit to Adam and was thrown out/fled the Paradise for her independence. Bible stories are like Aesop's Fables with punitive damage.

Everyone probably already knows this, but the reason drummers were included in battalions was for morale, coordination on the battlefield, and signaling to soldiers when to reload and fire, which you might think sounds ridiculous, but back then armies worked in line formations, and muskets were slow-firing weapons, so to maximize firing, one line would open fire while the back line reloads, then the front line would kneel to reload giving the back line chance to fire, and repeat.

in this game i play, before the match you can talk to the other players. once there was some kid making all these "your mom" jokes. so i said, "seriously, dude, are you three years old?" he said, "three inches deep in YOUR MOM!" so i came back with "so it's only three inches? not surprised." he left before the game even started XD
F*ck Cartoons
Class was cancelled so I went home and put on a homemade VHS of The Princess Bride, stopping regularly to check the news. Then, trying to switch over to the movie, I accidentally hit Record. So now my copy of The Princess Bride has news footage of 9/11 randomly interspersed. The worst easter egg.
I was in 6th grade. Ask the classrooms had a TV in the corner up on the wall. The TV turned on (office could do it, ask the tvs turned on) and without any warning or notice we watched the plane hit and the chaos. Some of my classmates thought it was a movie, but those of us that realized we were watching a lot of people die- yep. A ton of kids having meltdowns and terrified.
I was in fifth grade. We were having picture day in the library and the TV was on really low so we got in trouble as the teachers were whispering and telling us to be absolutely silent. My mom pulled me out of school pretty soon afterwards
Load More Replies...I was 21 and I thought it was a movie not the news! We always left the TV on for the dog at night. So when we woke up that morning, we just thought it was a movie on the movie channel we were watching the night before.
daycare isnt school. its basically just someone who babysits a bunch of kids at once. daycare and preschool r 2 different things.

Load More Replies...Oh I was in School in NY, as soon we heard, the teacher put on a radio and we listened all day through all out classes what was happening. Some people snuck into the janitors break room bc they had a TV (and they were watching the news, and nothing else all day). The School had to calm the panic down, while they went through their records to see which parents worked in the twin towers and try to contact them to let the kids know they were ok. Kids were crying in the hallways bc their parents worked there, etc. All these years later, and I remember that day in school very very well.
I was sleeping through intro to psychology freshman year at college. I was away from home and my mom called many times until I picked up. We live maybe an hour from the city but I was about 4 hours north at school; dad was out of the country so she really freaked out.
My old HS overlooks the NYC skyline. A lot of my classmates saw their parents die in real time. I saw the 2nd tower collapse driving home. You don't get over that.

I'm 90% sure that the answer is no it will not incriminate her and that it has something to do with needing the root of the hair to still be attached, but I can't quite remember.

Load More Replies...I worked at a hair salon, they never actually sent the hair to Locks of Love. They sat in a box in the closet.
Quick statement: never donate to Locks of Love. I’m doing the same thing with growing my hair and stuff, and I did research.
I believe they could get your DNA from the hair. However, unless you committed other crimes, you won't be in their database, so they won't know whose DNA it is.
I asked my coworker if her daughter considered that when she was donating her hair. I think she lost any respect for me she had then.

Not funny. True story. A friend had a dog she was evaluating as a potential seizure alert dog. She was in the grocery store and the dog suddenly left and headed across the store. In time to catch an elderly woman going down with a stroke. The dog stayed with the woman until EMTs arrived. If a service dog shows up unaccompanied, look around to see if anyone near you needs help. If not, follow the dog as their owner needs help.
I've got a pretty forgiving nature for what others my find funny, but as someone who uses a service dog, I do not find this funny.

Took me a moment to realize why he needed to "phone a friend". German is my native language. 😂😂😂 Yes, I get the actual punchline, but for a bit I was wondering "Why?".
Same. Saw the German writing and thought "How easy, is this like the 500€ question or what?!"
Load More Replies...Just watched the clip… it looked like the man who answered the phone was a show representative who was there as part of their standard process to make sure she wasn’t googling or anything like that, as the show host seemed to be verifying that someone from the show was with her before he passed along the call.
This reminds me of the phone call of a german radio station where you have to own a 10 Euro note with a specific serial number and the woman said her husband had the note, they called him and a woman answered. The kicker: the guy probably spent the winning note on a date with that side woman. If you understand german, just google "Wer ist Anette"
End the suspense! Did the guy know the answer to the question or what?!

I once worked with a very tall woman, about 6'/1.8m. One day I ran into her outside of work with her siblings (as tall as her or taller) and her mother (about 5'2"/1.57m) at best. So clearly they all got their height from their father, and - ouch!! - their tiny mother had to give birth to them.
Luckily babies aren't born at their full end height.

This is pretty common. In fact, there are websites where people "trade" kidneys because they don't match their own relative. I'm A positive and you are B positive(inherited from mom) and both are dad's are the other one. I'll donate my kidney to your dad and you give a kidney to mine.

Mans Had A Real Holup Moment
Not judging. But naked pictures are, by definition, pornography. I understand there are naked paintings and I'm not saying those are porn. But I sincerely doubt many people are using only fans pictures to display above their mantle piece..
Not really, pornography is intended to create or stimulate sexual arousal, quite different from nude art. When I was at university I posed nude for a friend doing a photography degree who was doing their end of year exhibition. Although I was fully nude and nothing was hidden, it certainly wasn't pornographic.
