Christ, he was just cartoonishly evil. Like if you made a movie where the villain was a wealthy child sex trafficker who had cat heads sent to his enemies like some kind of low budget Vito Corleone knockoff, critics would be like "this is a bit much, don't you think?"

Couldn't read the article but from the headline, photo, and first few linesA huge number of genetically diverse skeletons keep showing up in what's commonly referred to as "skeleton lake" in the Himalayas. Skeletons of genetically diverse people have been found in the high altitude lake near a known Silk Road trail, and more show up from time to time.

The lake is just uphill from what was a heavily traveled Silk Road route, and people who went up there were either looking for a better viewpoint or maybe climbing to do religious things. A lot of them are found with walking sticks that indicate they intentionally climbed, there are no signs of violence between groups or individuals that I've read about. They got lost and starved to death.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
I thought they had all head traumas from enormous hailstones. Unless there's multiple skeleton lakes

That is an old theory. Not all the skeletons have fractures and many died years apart. It could be some died that way, but it doesnt explain the rest or the significance of the spot.

Hell some lakes are even better at making skeletons, and the people don’t even have to be close to them for it to happen

It doesn't surprise me that Fox News doesn't know what a Shtreimel looks like. That is not a cowboy hat, that is the traditional headwear of an Orthodox Jewish man. In the picture it appears you can even see his Payot, (hair curls). While it would surprise me if the robber was an Orthodox Jew, but dressed as one, because a large portion of the Diamond District vendors are of Orthodox Jewish origin.

Well actually their poor quality of life is down to who the elect and the violent crimes they commit. Lucky that gerrymandering isn't a thing and the systematic criminalisation of poor people in America is a myth.
