I read the headline and thought “wow that makes it sound like they actively worked to place children with people who would abuse them, but surely it’s going to be a case where some children were placed with pedophiles because of a grievous paperwork error and they’re finding out now, thirty years later. That is also within the literal meaning of the headline.”

Then I clicked through to the article and oh god oh no it’s the first one.

Yeah clickbait has made me jump to far less conclusions when reading headlines so I assumed this had to be a case of not vetting the adopting families nearly well enough. Turned out to be a hell of a lot more blatant.

While I'll readily agree that Timtams are too expensive I got the impression that the UK has shortages of more urgent things, medicines for example.

I'm glad to learn that everything is just terrific and no limey has any worries beyond their tea time assortment.

Welcome to the jungle, it gets worse here every day

I always thought that the calendar ended when it did was because some bureaucrat realized that his subordinate was still extending the calendar out, asked him how far ahead he was, and said "Holy poo poo, that's far enough, go work on something else".

It's not even that, it's just that December 21, 2012 was their equivalent of 31/12/999 (except in base 20 e: and with a 360 day year and starting from a few thousand years BC)

If Mayan culture still exists, you can bet a lot of them are going to use the 21/12/2012 excuse to buy a sports car or get their crush to gently caress them or something.

The Maya, as an ethnic group, definitely still exist. There are millions of them. I doubt they use this ancient calendar in their daily lives, but who knows.

The origin of the Mayan calender is basically the Mayan gods like to delete the old save game that got too boring and start a fresh one. I think the one that ended in 2012 was like the 4th one.
