I was thinking more of how it was said the Jews helped the Moors once they came in (which makes sense seeing how poorly they were treated). I didn’t realize there was a belief they let them in. Whether they let them in or not, Visogoth Spain was bound to fail.

They will absolutely turn it against you and accuse you of being a Soros-paid feminazicommie who loves to take a good man down.

Oh thank God I’m not the only person here old enough to remember that show...

What a coward.

Hm...I don’t know. I think this kind of article might hurt your friend’s feelings, since she obviously wants children very badly but can’t have them.

Wait. I’m over 40 and childless and the chart says that I’m now an outcast. Is it too late for me to go back and have “fast life” and engage in “dissipation”? I didn’t know how to do debauchery right when I was in my 20's.

This is the kind of underestimating of an enemy that can bring us trouble.

I’ve told the longer story elsewhere on Jezebel but the short of it is my wife almost died from an ectopic pregnancy. We generally fall back on “well we tried but God tried to kill my wife so I figure its out of our hands. Take it up with him.”

My favorite antique shop find:

Interesting question. 2050s? When us olders who still think of “turn of the century” as 1900 die off?

Me, defiantly:

I wonder when “turn of the century” will finally start referring to our current century rather than 1900.

I was to understand that narrative was long gone. No one but racist wackjobs insists the mound builders etc were European anymore.

Finds are happening all over - the ruins of a settlement on Vancouver Island that was thought to be a local First Nations legend were found recently...and turns out that ancient village was 14,000 years old. As in “there during the last ice age” old.

Maybe France can send over an old guillotine, they probably still have the one from 1977. They were invented to kill fast and painless, you just have to sharpen the blade every few heads.

It’s even worse. They haven’t executed anyone since 2005 but now they’re rushing to kill everyone because of the drug situation. I mean, if you didn’t kill anyone for almost 12 years, why not hang out a while longer and see if a new drug becomes available in the next few years. What’s the rush??

I remember that. Charles did go to the hospital, but after the doctors said William would be OK but had to stay overnight for observation, Charles left to attend some sort of charity event or something while Diana stayed overnight.

Literally yesterday my mother was exclaiming about why this generation was so emotional, because a younger family member just went on medication for a mental illness. She disapproves. She wants them to just stop being mentally ill, but doesn’t seem to approve of any treatment. How it reflects on the family seems to…

I will never forget the flower arrangement on diana’s casket with card that said Mummy on it. So heartbreaking.

The older british people of my experience are stiff, formal, concerned with outward appearances (“what would people think”) and prone to suppressing emotion at all costs. Plus Charles and family had to go through it in public, with such a majority mourning Diana and considering Charles emotionally responsible for…
