Since both are undoubtedly created by hoaxes and frauds, that's an interesting observation. I guess all artwork really is derivative. It would be neat to trace that artistic lineage back to its sources. Then again, there is a commenter

I have some ancient greek pottery that would VIGOROUSLY disagree with you. Also fertility statutes. Also a mural I got from Kanamara Matsuri (Japanese penis festival) last year. Pervasive sexually explicit (by today's standards) imager

I can speak to this as someone with a disability and social work degree. It's not a popular sentiment but IDGAF at this point. Yes, this will largely be abused by people who don't need it. Just look at how many students malinger f

I won't spoil it in a thread about it, but you can skip to the second last paragraph of this article if you want to cut to the chase. https://slate.com/culture/2021/07/roadrunner-anthony-bourdai...

I opt into personalization and am constantly getting ads for tampons (not a woman), essential oils (yuck), iced tea (I only drink water), chinese clothing (lol), and then sporadically... 100k+ metal 3d printers and other industrial engineer

I am also surprised but you can check and it does indeed seem the majority (90%+) that apply for citizenship every year are accepted... I would hazard a guess this is because of their population crisis, maybe? They have one of the oldest po
