You might want to look into what’s called promession. It’s a way to turn you into fertilizer.

Your question is hard to answer. Because when it comes to how corpses are dealt with, the rules aren’t federal in the US. So you need to look at the states. And the rules for burials, release of the ashes, etc. are possibly set at county level. Likewise in Europe, the rules differ by countries and even within those by whatever subdivisioning applies. I looked it up for Germany, which has some federal rules about how to handle a corpse. But then 16 state laws on what is allowed in terms of final resting places. So far as I can see a Viking burial will not be allowed in places where cremation must happen at a specific temperature, the ashes may not be spread outside cemeteries, or other environmental laws forbid it. So that’s basically nowhere then. Being shot out of a cannon will probably fail at an environmental hurdle or the fact that civilians can’t own active military equipment.

I think this is a common language divided by an ocean thing.

I grew up with # being pound as well. The use of the pound symbol to highlight shit came from coding. Hash is another word for the pound symbol. It tags stuff. Ergo hashtag. Born in the glory years of Twitter.

Those thoughts are not crazy. I feel like that every time I take a picture off a bridge or tall building and I’m leaning over the edge to get a better angle. I found peace of mind in a lanyard strap.

That is a valid point. As the question has been answered already, I was just wondering what prompted it.

Specifying American English is unnecessarily specific. The other Englishes do it too.

Why do you ask this? Is it that inconceivable that people could just say “comma” in their languages like you say “point” in English? Or were you hoping it’s a weird word? Like seven thlumpf five?

He wasn’t supposed to be alone in the cell. They were supposed to check on him. The surveillance cameras were supposed to work. It’s possible this is 3 human fuckups in a row with sad consequences. By which I mean his victims could never see him in court getting convicted. It’s also possible that he was killed in custody. We like conspiracy theories. We may never know. Because you would need to be able to prove this. And unless they filmed themselves hanging him, which I doubt they did, then this will take its rightful place among the great myths of our time.

It’s also possible he offed himself. He may have suddenly discovered a conscience and developed scruples (low chance). He may have not felt like discussing his pedophilia in open court again and chose the coward’s way out (higher chance). Somebody may have pressured him. He knew shit about many of the rich and powerful; the reverse may also be true (highest chance of these three).

If you’re being spat on you might be talking to a llama. The extra L is for liberal. Don’t say antisemitic stuff. That’s my sincere answer.

Edit: OP is a troll who edited the post.

There is no entity called “the world” that can flick through contingency plans. You can bet those who benefit from oil that would have sailed through the strait with no problem hadn’t the orange toddler started a war have a plan B. Whether that’s reactivating a few old pipelines or just sending ships the long way around, fuck knows. I’m not swimming in petrodollars. None of these plans will cost the same. All contingency plans cost more money. They might be raising fuel prices too much but they couldn’t not raise them at all.

No one foresaw this development because it is - and that’s the diplomatic term for it: fucking stupid. And that’s why there isn’t a plan B in place that can be used in the same way right away.

Y’all were under a king before and managed to change that.

Your imagination is wild.

You can’t bitch about your government spending if you don’t do the legwork;) Good luck to you!

Normally, I would say the answer to a “Am I the only one who thinks …?” on the internet is always no. There will be another person who thinks that. In this case, my guess is though it’ll be hard or sheer luck to find that other person.

Do you live a life of asceticism? Do you spend money on anything just as a treat for yourself? If the answer is no, then well done you. Hope you’re happy. If the answer is yes, then you are just like the rest of us.

The Greek ones are older than the Roman ones. Jupiter = (Zeus + pater) * a couple of sound changes, where pater = father. It’s my favorite fact.

It’s conceivable that the Greeks also copy and pasted their cannon of deities from whatever was en vogue at the time. I doubt there was a process. A story was created, it somehow stuck in the zeitgeist, and a century later through a game of telephone, Bob was elevated to be god of hemorrhoids.

The Egyptians had a lot of gods for everything. Moses had to beat the poly-deity lifestyle out of the Israelites with stone tablets. The heathens in the North of Europe had concocted their own family of gods. If you go even further afield, you’ll find more and different gods.

They all kind of had a father big boss figure and then a complicated network of subs. If you have no printing press and no microwave ovens, humans naturally gravitated to stories like that to make sense of the world. The systems grew organically.

I imagine it’s because a lot of the relationship posts are outrageous tales of betrayal, violence, or gas lighting.

You’re asking a question and then you answer it yourself.

Well adjusted individuals are less likely to build a murderous drug empire. I think organized crime is a little bit like politics. If you’ve made it to the top you’ve been through so much shit that you have nerves of steel and a Teflon soul. You will have found a way to deal with it or you already went swimming with the fish.

They can probably afford a real therapist out of pocket but my guess is that’s the exception rather than the rule. The inevitable influx of millennials and gen-z into crime may have driven those numbers up since Tony Soprano but still.

Yes, it’s TACO Tuesday in Teheran.
