One of my service users gets mega constipated due to his meds and will lie about when he last pooped. Literally poo poo that didn't happen.

Do you tell him he's full of poo poo?

Overtly sexual / flirtatious behaviour in children can be a sign that they have been molested or abused in some way, just to add another layer of creepy to your experiences :smith:

Overtly sexual behavior in 16 year olds is a sign they are 16 years old.

poo poo, even a .22 pistol has been tested to penetrate interior walls just fine. There's extremely little in the way of ammo that won't pass into another room if you miss. The only surefire way to not risk it is to not miss the burglar.

Drywall is surprisingly not very resistant to bullets.

British Texas sounds like it'd be the worst place in the universe

The Republic of Texas had fairly good relations with the British Empire (if only out of desperation for allies), and Britain hoped to use it as a counterweight to the United States, even offering to guarantee Texas' borders against the US and Mexico to try to ward off US annexation. Britain's antislavery stance and unwillingness to piss off Mexico by officially recognizing the republic torpedoed it, though.

I don't get the pledge thing either. The fact you decide to continue to live in and pay taxes to a country shows your devotion more than a pledge

The Pledge was invented during the last wave of mass immigration from Europe, and was meant to emphasize the cutting of ties to the Old World and embracing their new American identity.

Also the film completely ruins the message it tries to tell: Wonder Woman shanks the dude she thinks is Ares and is dismayed when it doesn't end the war, and the real Ares tells her that man is inherently corrupt and he just gives them the tools to use themselves.....but as soon as he's killed, all the German soldiers stop fighting and start laughing and hugging each other and World War I ends in the next scene.

It could've been framed better, but The War was ending anyway. The heroes were trying to stop Ares/Ludendorff from sabotaging the armistice.

Why is it that whenever a person is given the chance to pass judgement on another person it always turns to poo poo :negative:

I would even go as far as to say that the people who are particularly obnoxious about it (with the aforementioned "crotchspawn/breeders" stuff and the childfree folks) often secretly want to have a family and just tell themselves how terrible it is as a way to cope with not having their desires fulfilled. Sorta like someone who doesn't get something they want and then says "WELL I DIDN'T REALLY WANT IT ANYWAYS."

Or it's because if you ever mention that you don't have or want kids, you get stared at like you just grew another head and then swarmed with "who'll take care of you when you're old" "you'll change your mind" "you were a kid too!" "no see, constant screaming is actually cool and good" "i can't eat ice cream without hiding in a locked off room, but you're weird!" etc. etc. and it really gets loving old.

I know this is from last page, but whatever.

They could have ended Wonder Woman by having her realize that killing one entity won't end war and deciding to save the people she can instead of trying to be an agent of retribution. Like if, say, they made it so that she had to leave Ares behind to go save her squad buddies or something. You know, something that meshes with the point of the movie rather than saying that war is part of human nature, but then having WWI end when she kills Ares.

The war was already ending. The whole thing was to stop Ares from loving up the armistice going into effect.

That's leaving aside the massive amount of cross-pollination that happened in the lead-up to the Renaissance (which would have been impossible without Islamic scholarship)

Eh, the biggest kick off was Byzantine scholars fleeing the Muslim conquest of Greece, bringing long-lost (to the West) classical texts with them. Islamic scholarship was in a downward swing after the Mongols loving annihilated Baghdad, one of the world's greatest centers of learning, in 1258, and they never had the Ancient Greek texts that Byzantium preserved.

Not to dispute your overall message, though. In fact, one of the crusading knightly orders is still around, the Knights Hospitallier - and they're currently working to help the refugees in the Mediterranean and Syria.

I think you're stretching. Childfree poo poo is a reaction to heavy social pressure that if you're not married and cranking out kids by 25 you're broken. The constant nagging about "when are you giving us grandchildren?", that kind of thing.

A girl in high school seriously tried that. She was nuts and alienated all her friends, so she fell over in front of them and lightly tapped her head on the ground. She woke up doing the “Who are you? Where am I?” routine.

Brain scan showed absolutely no damage, but she stuck with it to everyone, parents and teachers included. It conveniently only wiped the memory of the last few years and only what she needed to have reset. We were advised to play along with it to keep her from doing something even more drastic.

That was 10 years ago now. Never talked to her since, so I know she got pregnant and married right out of high school but I don’t know if she kept it up.

...I mean, I'm kind of impressed by the commitment.
