I'm still sad that he was gone too soon. His work was always enjoyable, and he seems to be a good person.

Me too, sad that he left us. Such a beautiful young man, and I wonder how much he was suffering on this earth. I hope he found peace.

Generally in society men are not expect to be happy. They’re expected to have a job, wife, kids et cetera provide, “be a man” but happy doesn’t come into the equation. Just look at the lack of mental support for men specifically. This goes to the just man up type of attitude which is prevalent. Thankfully, this is changing but not quick enough.

Oh please women are expected to give up everything to "make their man" happy it's eyeroll inducing heating men whine when they have it incredibly easy im comparison to women 🙄 and if you want to see change for men's mental health services then you need to make men step up!

im relatively happy. i have what I call "points" in my life. they last for a couple months each, and they switch between "high points" and "low points". Ive been at a high point for the last month. it'll probably change sometime in the summer, but im doing good in my life for now.

In my experience at least, most people who ask if you are happy don't really want to know the real answer to that. So if you are going to ask someone, whether it's someone you just met or someone you have known for a while, be prepared to hear that the answer might be No.

I disagree. The people that ask "how are you?" are the ones that tend not to care either way, whereas the people that ask "are you happy?" are the ones that genuinely care because they are the type of people where happiness is a rare commodity

The photo is "blind girl" taken in Hiroshima by Christer Strömholm. He took haunting pictures of the victims of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. The close-up of a blind girl with scars on her face is surely the most well known of the series. Once seen, it is never forgotten. Like most of Strömholm’s photographs, this one seems unpolished and shadowed, since it was taken spontaneously and in the light available. Using the existing light was a central credo to him. Disturbingly, Strömholm confronts the viewer with a reality that is taboo and all too eagerly repressed. He lets the viewer experience unadorned human suffering without compromising the dignity of those he portrays. The girl stayed anonymous..The photo is often claimed to show the face of a girl blinded by the nuclear bomb. This seems unlikely, since the girl appears younger than 18 years. It is also possible that the photo was taken earlier but not published until 1963.

Revealing her vagina would have had serious irreversible health consequences. You might be talking about vulva perhaps?

Very healthy diets these tribal people had. I'm sure it's the same with New Guinea tribes as well. (Look it up. It's very good for inducing insomnia and waking nightmares.) I think one of the rockerfellers was their "guest" too.

Legend has it that Frank secretly resented Dean Martin because Dean could just show up and smooooth out songs while Frank worked his asss off..... Dean Martin was LEAGUES better than Sinatra, imo, and less of an assshole...... though Frank did have his moments of going to bat for folks, especially Sammy....

If that was actual bone growth around the spike then he survived for some time after injury. Can't speculate how long he could have lived or how mentally and physically challenged he would have been. If it is just museum repair job to hold spike in place, then it would mean he did not survive injury.

George Junius Stinney Jr., who at the age of 14 was convicted, in a proceeding later vacated as an unfair trial, and executed, for the murders of two young girls in March 1944 — Betty June Binnicker, age 11, and Mary Emma Thames, age 7 — in his hometown of Alcolu, South Carolina. He was convicted, sentenced to death, and executed by electric chair in June 1944, thus becoming the youngest American with an exact birth date confirmed to be sentenced to death and executed in the 20th century

My dad used to love to tell this story of how the Nazis marched into Paris in 1940, and when they got to the Louvre, there was nothing inside but the Winged Victory of Samothrace. After hearing this story a few times, I found myself in the Louvre, where they have a photo of the Winged Victory of Samothrace, crated up and being slid down a ramp so it could be taken away and hidden. When I saw Dad again I said "Dad, what the hell?" He said "I just figured it was too big to move!" Well they managed to get it from Greece to Paris in the 1860s, so why would it be a problem getting it into the countryside in 1940?
