The homeless problem in LA has been made fun of since the 80's. Mel Brooks made the hilarious Life Stinks in the 80's.

On the other hand, the homeless were talked about in Victorian fiction all the time. It's one of the reasons why so many don't realize Sherlock Holmes was more modern. The homeless network he uses has been known for a while.

Before all the insanity, I would have argued that Middle class was expanding. I knew tons of people who lived in poor neighborhoods and had nice modern stuff. They could afford it as well. They bought modest homes, filled them, and lived happy lives. The riots went after those homes and neighborhoods.

The girl from the other side. A demon raises a little girl because she has the power to heal.

I think it's because the best version of him as white is the Hoff. That is a very different movie.

The artist created an amazing webcomic called Last Halloween. Then she stopped the second book to make this and hasn't been back since.

I didn't know it existed until this morning, so I didn't know that either. It makes sense though. They all seem fairly hipsterish.

Why not both? Imagine a themed experience where you are hunting and being hunted by monsters.

He was white, and a WWII vet in the regular universe. He was based on Jackson in the Ultimate series.

I just know I got the comic names wrong...

Nicholas Cage films are the best bad films. That's why you always ask if it's a Cage movie, or is he just in it?

They would also make great haunted houses or themed experience areas.

Somehow Takis are involved. My son wants the Mr Beast meal at Zaxby's all the time. We had never gone to it till then.

This doesn't come as a surprise to me at all. My son and foster kids all want to be YT stars and mimic stuff from those shows. I watched them and realized how scripted it was in one video. They don't believe me and make sure to squawk and scream whenever they game or put on a VR set.

Finally we get to admit that some people aren't as intelligent as everyone says they are. Let's try an easy sentence with some difficult words, "we looted Worcester then went down the Thames to loot Leicester square for a lads night out."

You can read that fairly well, but there are those who can't say it. England, do you know anyone like that?

Ok, all kidding aside there are papers about intelligence and pronunciation. It gets into a subject that anthropologists don't enjoy talking about. Well are the biggest racists because our entire job is to explain the other to normal people. As someone else point out, the Japanese don't pronounce L and R as different. That's because they don't have those letters and use a rolled L in their language. We can say the same for the Welsh ll sound. It's not in English, but we can find it in Polish, Navajo and even Mongolian.

But, trying to explain that to the common man has problems so the simple statement like it's not a common word, or they shortened it to save time doesn't work. Soz the explanation is given that the other can't pronounce it. There is a whole section of anthropology proving this, and it's older than most of the other forms of it. Even papers written today have stuff like that in it.

Navajos are stupid and need to be kept in their primitive state. The anthropologist says that with a bunch of softer words and makes it sound like they're helping. We need to protect the indigenous cultures from modernistic ideologies! It's incredibly racist, but they claim to be the good guy. Black people need to preserve their culture and you are racist for telling them to clean up. That's being used as a control method for the black culture. If black people get smart, then they won't vote Democrat or buy stupid products aimed specifically at them.

Someone else mentioned how brand names are used as the generic term. This is why Nintendo had a campaign to make sure people knew that their consoles were specific. We don't actually have a generic term for nappies or diapers. Baby strollers and prams are also brand names.

In parts of the US if they ask if you want coke, they mean soda. As opposed to Texas, especially Waco where they ask, "do you want Dr pepper or do you wish to sin against God and man?"

That's why I enjoy studying culture, the details are fascinating. History does the same for me. Combining the two means seeing a very different world from others. So yes, there are papers like that, but it's a sign of who is talking to who than actual evidence.

You should see some of the adoption groups I've seen. There are women that use pregnancy and adoption as a free check from adopters.

Amazon also had something, but it's the 21 year olds you mentioned.

Argentina has highs and lows like a roller coaster. If you see a high, know a drop is coming.

He's definitely not an average one and does know how it works. He's also trying to prove he made the right choice to himself, and I can see that in the writing.
