Lots of employers would be vulnerable to ngo (taxpayer funded) discrimination lawsuits if they question obvious counterfeit documents, unfortunately.

The Rieu translation is my go to, though it's almost impossible to find the original unrevised version now.

The revision was by his son, and there's nothing wrong with it that I noticed (though I was pleasure reading, not critically reading).

Well that chick who chopped her tits off is still a chick no matter what anyone calls her. My mistake if I took it wrong.

The Taiwanese man who boxed against women in the last olympics is allowed back in, due to DSD, or 'differences in sexual development' which is supposedly different from being a fucking tranny. Sanity has not returned.

Meddle and Animals are probably my favorite albums but those preferences are tied directly to personal experiences. The Wall I feel like I 'grew out of' a long time ago. Pompeii is a great album for what it is but UmmaGumma is the truly refined taste in my opinion.

Achilles' mother received a prophecy basically saying he'd either die young in war and be remembered forever or live a long fulfilling life and be forgotten. She wanted him to live a long life so had he (and his best friend/cousin/whatever) Patroclus sent off to live as women with a bunch of priestesses to keep him from being pulled into what would become the Trojan war. The two best buds were living it up with the young ladies when Odysseus figured out where Achilles' mom had hidden them (Patroclus was hiding from a murder rap) and went there with a beautifully made spear, knowing that Achilles wouldn't be able to conceal his desire for the weapon.

Through this ruse Odysseus was easily able to convince Achilles to join the war, and gained the Hellenes their most able warrior.

So yeah, he cross-dressed, kinda, so him and his best bud could live secretly in the girls' dorm and have the time of their lives until duty called him off to kill the enemies of their people.

I'll reserve my opinion for when he's spent more time in jail than Smollet did.

His first book was Elantris, which also featured a Mary Sue type protagonist.

Interestingly, no matter what choices I make I get the, "you made the right choices" ending where Charlie has no friends.

I'm pretty sure mullvad is safe, don't have a confirmed list of unsafe ones though. I know Express vpn was one with questionable ownership but never checked into it myself.

Look into wind power as soon as you can, it's amazing what you can do with a three speed gear box and four helve hammers.

Agreed on your main point, just drawing a distinction.

Gloating over a natural death is in no way comparable to gloating over a murder.

It feels weird to paste a reddit comment here, but it looks like he died with covid, not of it.

"The specific details vary slightly in their inclusion per article, but the story and timeline remains consistent across all articles:

[1] https://www.thedailybeast.com/tourist-mads-mikkelsen-claims-he-was-denied-entry-to-us-because-of-vance-meme-on-phone/

[2] https://www.dailydot.com/culture/norwegian-tourist-barred-from-united-states-jd-vance-meme/

...a customs agent first questioned him about a sausage in his luggage. A plainclothes ICE agent approached and promised to “fix the issue quickly” before bringing him to an interrogation room. [2]

...Mikkelsen did not say if he provoked immigration officials in some way. However, he did note that he was exhausted having just deplaned a long flight across the Atlantic Ocean. “I had travelled for twelve hours, slept poorly, and was physically and mentally completely exhausted even before they started the questioning,” [1]

...Mikkelsen claims that immigration officials... quizzed him “about drug trafficking, terrorist plots, and right-wing extremism” [1]

...Mikkelsen claims that officials threatened ...if he did not grant them access to his phone [1]

...they [Customs]...signaled disapproval to a photo of him with a homemade wooden pipe. [1]

finally...

...agents found a meme on his device that showed the vice president’s face—digitally altered to make him chubbier, bald, and cartoonish

See No Evil, Hear No Evil. Those two made some great films together. Silver Streak and Stir Crazy are classics too.
