Romania too, but definitely better than a hamburger. It’s more like a sausage.

One guy’s defense was “I thought she was dead”.

His Agenda47 plan also aims to restrict school content on topics like race, gender, and sexuality, dismantle diversity initiatives, and promote “patriotic values” through teacher certification and curriculum changes.

How exactly is this all going to be done without a Department of Education? One paragraph says give states more control and the next one says control the curriculum.

Our eyes can

In my country unlimited fiber was $6/mo. Imagine the shock when I moved to the US (also in Mountain View initially). Eventually I got AT&T fiber for “just” $40/month, but now I moved to an area outside their coverage and it’s back to Comcast :(

Maybe dodos

Some people grew up eating that shit and it provides them with a sense of comfort and familiarity.

That’s exactly it. It’s confort food for a lot of Americans. I grew up in a different country, where home cooking was the norm and fast food was considered a huge waste of money. I of course tried it when I got my own money, but there was no reason for it to stick with me. So now fast food places don’t even register as an option for me if I ever find myself needing to eat from outside the house. But I’ve seen my friends in the US talk about fast food, their eyes gleaming talking about the Whatever Burger at Whatever Fast Food and the Whatever Taco at Another Fast Food and always get the Whatever Sauce at Yet Another Fast Food. The same way they talk about Twizzlers or Twinkies or other absolute junk that they would never touch if it didn’t bring them back to their childhood.

Don’t those photos always have a small print disclaimer on them that says the actual product may not look like that or something along those lines? Is that enough to protect them in a lawsuit?

At least triple the price in my area. 4x if the schools are good.

I like that getting rid of glasses today is rejection of technology, while in Asimov’s Caves of Steel, wearing glasses was rejection of technology.

I only ever browse All->Top 6 hours. I’m not subscribed to any community.

Started smoking at 12 too, also in the 90s. Quit in high-school.

What the sigma?

Some great ones were already mentioned. I’ll add Life Is Beautiful (1997).

Aren’t all three dipshit weirdos?

I’ll never understand consuming this type of information in video format.

Some info on the first one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meșterul_Manole

I can only find the full text in the original Romanian or in Spanish.

The second one is The Goat and Her Three Kids, an adaptation of the Grimm fairy tale The Wolf and the Seven Young Goats, but somehow much more grim. I can’t find a full translation, but the Wikipedia article tells the story in good detail. The story has been adapted into a horror movie in 2022.

One of the mandatory texts in my country’s curriculum was the story of workers building a church and the head architect had to bury his pregnant wife alive into one of the walls, because creation requires sacrifice. The entire crew killed themselves once the building was complete. But that’s in high-school.

The first story that starts the 1st grade textbook is about a goat with three kids. The wolf comes and kills two of the kids while the mother is out (third kid hid too well). He then places their severed heads in the window, grinning, to make it look like they’re waiting for their mom. The grieving mother proceedes to invite the wolf to a feast (he’s family), which is actually a trap to burn him alive as revenge.

Awestruck seeing all those calls in a one hour interval. It would have been at least 2 weeks for me. Making one phone call requires a full day of pre-call preparation and after-call recovery.

Why are some of them prolapsed, and is that even possible?
