the whole theory about the land bridge between Britain and the mainland and how it was possibly flooded in one giant catastrophe, killing pretty much everyone living on it, it pretty interesting

Taking our jobs and living on benefits since 10,000 BCE. I forget where I saw the article, but there was a real interesting piece about a lawsuit between scientists and a First Nations tribe about the “ownership” of a skeleton discovered on their land from like 10k years ago. There might have even been a third party involved trying to claim it. I don’t remember much, but it had a lot of info about the migration from Asia to the Americas and how those ancient peoples were related to modern humans. It was really interesting.

That's because they know you're going to spend money and leave I would imagine the reception would be different if you were moving into the neighborhood

I believe you need to eat some kind of fermented shark, split a sapling with a Viking sword, and cut the pigtail off your spouse with a thrown battle axe before they truly welcome you into the community. Could be wrong though.

Needless to say this is generally not the case unless you're talking like, big business types maybe.

Once you get to the back teeth it's hard as hell to get a good result. That's why this was invented (costs a couple €, infinitely reusable with regular cheap-rear end floss):  e: People who buy the expensive single-use flossers that aren't even anywhere near long enough to be useful are complete morons.

I didn't know this was the bad opinions thread but the last 20 pages have just been getting worse and worse. The amount of people who have the energy to disagree with blitheringly idiotic ideas like "The US is the greatest country on earth!! Make america great again!" will eventually dwindle to zero, or maybe I am underestimating goons for their penchant to blather at fools?

Make no mistake, these are shallow attempts to test the waters with right wing beliefs and slowly figure out how blatant they can be about them in these here forums. Like, we already know the forums are being stalked by Kiwifarms trash, we are already of Interest, for whatever dumb reason (Mostly so they can stalk trans folks). And I've already seen a dozen or so left-wing voices die down in the thread as they tire of combating this.

alexandriao posted:Depends on if you come from a "white country" or a "poc country" I don't think that is really true. The US has a lot of Asian and Hispanic immigrants. The US immigration system is almost certainly classist, but I suspect that all immigration policies for rich countries are similar in that way.
