We remember Jeremy Bentham and he seems to be respected just fine. We chose to preserve Lenin so he'd be extra-respected. It's a thing you do when something is so important that it shouldn't rot like a worthless human corpse.

My collection is willed to my old college, too, so even when I die my collection will go somewhere that they'll be appreciated.

catholic, orthodox, and buddhist relics are the most respected things around

the brooches out of dead loved ones makes sense though because a lot of it must have been happening before photography and portraiture was just the province of the rich so making something beautiful out of your dead relatives would kind of be the only tangible connection you'd have to the dead, especially if you lived far away from their graves

that's why you take photos of their corpses, which is another thing people did back then

Things to do with dead peeps. When my uncle passed he was cremated and I was tasked with going to Montana and scattering his ashes in his special place. My grandfather made the odd request of saving a very small bit and returning it to him. So I got a frame and mixed the tablespoon of ashes with Elmer's glue and secured a picture of the scattering site to it. He seemed happy.

I am shocked at people never having the flu before, I had it yearly or more as a kid until my 20s, then it was once every 2 or 3 years. As a kid I was pretty much death warmed over with the flu, I guess I was just sickly :(

Find out what little ethnic markets are in your area, and buy your spices and things there. They'll be much cheaper and usually better quality than grocery store stuff as well. Those places usually have really good produce too

Just think, those panels have now filled up a part of your memory which could've been used for something more valuable to humanity's future, like inventing new color names that correspond to toenail fungus, or how far you could stick an ordinary pencil into someone's ear without causing a serious injury, or memorizing the names of British battleships by commissioning date.

I don't want to shop at Modcloth due to things I've heard about their terrible service and the lovely material the dresses are made of. I really want to avoid shopping online at all if I can help it.
I've had no problems with the material of the dress I got there--Modcloth sells a whole lot of different companies' clothing, so I guess some are good and some are less good.

just fyi it's not illegal to seek asylum by boat. the 'illegal' thing is a complete lie and it shouldn't be given any traction in the media and no one should tolerate people calling refugees 'illegal', much less the government. our government is the one breaking international law

my grandfather, on the other hand, came to the us illegally

if he had tried to enter legally he would have been denied due to racist / eugenicist quotas on the number of southern Europeans, so good for him

my grandfather ran away from the russian navy and snuck in to avoid being shut out by the white australia policy. once he'd learnt english he apparently didn't have a problem, because he could pass for white despite being some mysterious romani/jewish melange. then he defied russian stereotypes by becoming a tragic alcoholic and dying of liver failure. :smug:

People like your grandfather make me feel like a big, lame, soft loser.

My granddad joined the US Army as a Ski Patroller in order to emigrate from Canada.
i have a friend whose grandfather walked from south america to california after he took a boat from japan to south america by accident. it took a year or something. then he married a picture bride who was flat terrified to go to the us and marry a man she had never seen, but she did it anyway

then the us government took their little farm and put them in an internment camp during world war 2, and when they got out they started over
