" instead primitive tribes that modern day society has glorified and romanticized in order to make white people feel bad about what they did" It doesn't matter whether they were primitive or not and the conquering nations absolutely should feel bad - they committed terrible crimes despite their lofty ideals & religious truths. In short, thieving & murdering hypocrites.
Quit letting people from terrorist prone countries or parts of the world into YOUR country...where they refuse to assimilate and become pots of festering terrorist ideology waiting to unleash itself into the host country.
Someone should have told the Aboriginals & Native Americans that a long time ago
Funny thing is that was Nixon's plan way back, and then Carter's after the oil shock. A huge amount of foreign oil money got donated to both parties to stop that sort of energy independence so now we spend a far larger amount giving free military support to the Saudis.
The Daily Show did a segment called "8 Presidents" years ago on POTUSes promising energy independence by year X, where X varied from 1980 - 2025. Both funny & sad.
"american english slang" Obviously you've never heard of the BRITISH sci-fi flick The Man Who Fell To Earth which although written by American Walter Tevis, was adapted into a film by Nicolas Roeg & Paul Mayersberg and the title role was played by David Bowie.

His 2nd wife Julia Gardiner was 24 & he 54 when they married and he was 55 & 70 respectively for the birth of their 1st and 7th kids. Tyler remains the champion stud among presidents as he had previously fathered EIGHT children with Letitia Christian
Grover Cleveland, the only POTUS to serve 2 non-consecutive terms, was 49, and already President, when he married 21 year old Frances Folsom and was 54 when their 1st child was born and 66 for their fifth. Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau was also already in office and 51 when he married 22 year old Margaret Sinclair and 52 when their 1st son, current prime minister Justin Trudeau was born on Xmas Day of the same year, was 56 for the birth of their 3rd and 72 years old when he fathered his only daughter with Deborah Coyne, then aged 36
Nice firm wooden bench so you knew where your ass was when it came time to kiss it goodbye. And a couple things nearby to grip if turbulence got really bad.
A family member posted on Facebook, “He sent me a snapchat shooting a bookshelf of encyclopedias and said lets see how many books it would go through it didn’t make it past the first book but its different if you have 20 books stacked than just 1, dammit man i can’t believe it.”
The story about it I read last week said that he did test it on another book and showed it to her to convince her it was safe.
The moron did his test with a stack of hardcover books, not realizing that the reason the bullet didn't make it all the way through the 1st book was because the force was transmitted & absorbed by the entire stack. Unfortunately, he already has one child and another is soon to be born so his stupidity hasn't left the gene pool.
And the headline is completely wrong - it was his idea that he coaxed & pestered her into go along with as both were equally ignorant of physics. She did NOT kill him seeking fame, he killed HIMSELF, while seeking fame, using her trigger finger.
"what country you are from, we ALL want to MAKE MONEY!"
Christians & the nations they control should not be preoccupied with making money. Read the Bible if you don't understand why. For over a thousand years, Christians did not charge interest on loans to other Christians. That was a crime, called usury.
Than just a plain old TBM. Yeah ok, so he is drilling tunnels with it, but I dont see any differences to any other run of the mill TBM out there. Elon being Elon, I would have expected at least a plasma drill or maybe even better, a subterrene: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
One of his goals was to find ways to speed up tunneling, by as much as 10X IIRC. At this point, there's no indication if their Boring is any quicker.
Look, it's not really that people don't believe THIS story. The problem is story selection. Everyday, someone with an agenda pulls a "OMG the sky is falling" story from some alarmist website. We're simply sick of it. What you're seeing is the backlash. If everyday I pulled stories similar to what happened to here this weekend (end of JUNE in Toronto it was HAILING) filled with snarky comments about "global warming", you'd be annoyed too.
Oh I've seen plenty of "hey, it was a bit cold today, where's my global warming". But after all this time, the deniers & the clueless don't understand what tipping points are, that once certain events are triggered, there's no quick path back to what we used to consider normal
I spent more than a few of my childhood & adolescent years in tropical regions. It's all lovely, until you meet the critters. Centipedes that can kill snakes, swarms of flying cockroaches, GAAAHHH, and bugs that get under your skin - ever have scabies? I did and it sucks, a lot. I'll gladly suffer through winter as long as it means never having to face those critters again.

Stop spreading lies. Or at least post proof.

That doesn't jibe with history
