Reply to comment by crispy1989 in Norwegian government funds research to find out if white paint is racist by EntertainmentNo2044
The context you're missing is that titanium white is a superior white pigment to what we had before, it made white paint affordable and more durable and so this lead to far greater use of white as paint worldwide.
The cultural effects of that is essentially what this study is about.

I once visited a farm and there was a bunch of piglets, some of them didn't have tails and the farmer said the only way to tell which piglet was biting off the tail of the others was to wait until only one piglet had a tail. Same vibe.

That's true in movies, less so in real life. People with low intelligence have the same amount of mental health issues as people with high intelligence. But they're less likely to understand their own issues and less likely to have the financial resources to get treatment for them.

Lol, it’s ok, they just need to tell her the truth: the police don’t have the resources to DNA test for low level offenses. Harsh does of reality right there. 😂

Back when WoW came out my rather large guild would all mail hams to the same person. Hundreds of hams a day for months that they'd have to clear out to get their real mail.
edit: Just to be clear, this happened in 2004. Almost 20 years ago.

Don't overlook the last line of the article:
>The Mad Butcher - Sir Peter Leitch, who is a Waiheke resident - says he has never heard of the incidents and has yet to be targeted himself.

Reply to comment by antiquemule in Expert says ‘Trees are the enemy’ when it comes to water production by alxzsites
I don't know nearly enough to say: overstating the case for deforestation or thining and the emotional 'enemy' language might just be because it's a very unpopular move and they feel they need to combat that, but generally if someone lies it's for no-one's benefit but their own.

Say car ramrod
Also: there was a time when we would take guys like this out back and beat them with a rubber hose but now you got your goddamn unions.

All I need to know is that my husband, a pilot and GIGANTICALLY HUGE (I’ve never seen anyone bigger) space nerd said “No, thank you” when I had the chance to get tickets to a meet and greet with Aldrin more than a decade ago. He did have Story Musgrave (who would recognize him on sight?) on one of his flights and he was over the moon. 😉 See what I did there?

It’s one thing to do it once and leave someone confused.
It becomes another (harassment) to do it consistently in an effort to distress someone.
Hope this doesn’t blow up with the guy getting further harassed by others thinking it’s funny to them.
