Remember when Trump moved the US embassy to Jerusalem declaring Jerusalem the capital of Israel? People are kill-informed if they think things get better for the Palestinians under Trump 2.0.

In the US, know that insurance companies hire private investigators to follow and video people making injury claims. Especially higher dollar ones.
Maybe we should be seeing the realities of the world, even the horrors. It’s a lot easier to support things like war if you’ve never witnessed the brutality. This person was making a political statement by setting themself on fire. I imagine they wanted people to see.
I’ve never known “college town” to be used as a denigration, though sometimes students from big cities who go to school in college towns are eager to return to what those big cities have to offer and perhaps don’t enjoy the college town vibe as much as others.
College towns are great in my opinion. Especially many of the small(ish) towns where large public land grant universities are located. (Penn State/Happy Valley, University of Florida/Gainesville, heck most every SEC school for that matter, Cornell University/Ithaca, etc.) The towns often grow around the universities. The schools bring in events that the towns otherwise would never have (concerts/plays/art exhibits/speakers/etc) not to mention college sports. You have some of the best and brightest, including students, faculty, researchers, doctors, in a confined local area. Education and diversity are valued. The universities are often the biggest employer in town, pay well, and attract lots of companies and people who benefit from the symbiotic relationship. You have people from all different walks of life. And usually the cost of living is reasonable. All in all, usually pretty good places to live.
They know. The point is to be known to the politician to whom the corporation is pitching monetary woo. And conversely to be known to the corporation to whom the politician is too pitching the woo.
He was an excellent (arguably one of if not the best) race car driver in the American NASCAR series.
This is reddit copypasta. Change the name of the famous person and insert whomever.
Your understanding and articulation of the joke is correct.
People don’t like Rick Scott but he spent enough of his money to get elected. And Bloomberg is 50 fold wealthier. And Bloomberg seems much more personable. So I don’t know.
Roger that. Already learned something new today. Thanks.
Ah, that is outside my wheelhouse then. I do kind of like the idea of the outsized body parts based on how much of that part of the brain is used for that body part (or whatever that etymology said.)
I’m not seeing that definition in the few places I looked, but perhaps it does. I did find this:
homunculus /hō-mŭng′kyə-ləs, hə-/
noun A diminutive human. A miniature, fully formed individual believed by adherents of the early biological theory of preformation to be present in the sperm cell. A tiny human being that may be produced (according to a fancy of Paracelsus) artificially, without a natural mother. A little man; a dwarf. A little man; a dwarf; a manikin. Similar: dwarfmanikin A little man. The nerve map of the human body that exists on the parietal lobe of the human brain. A tiny fully formed individual that (according to the discredited theory of preformation) is supposed to be present in the sperm cell. A person who is very small but who is not otherwise deformed or abnormal. The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition •
Love the work! Confused about the Homunculus title though.
But maybe could do something along the lines of this part explaining the etymology of the word: The term lends its name to the cortical homunculus, an image of a person with the size of the body parts distorted to represent how much area of the cerebral cortex of the brain is devoted to it.
Idk just spitballing

My very good friend, third or fourth generation American but 100% Mexican descent, maybe or maybe not got a little smart with the border agent. We did have to wait a few extra minutes for him in the parking lot on the US side. Meanwhile, the Middle Eastern international student with us had zero issues and whipped out two cans of beer out of his pockets while we waited. If you’re out there Fahad, you rock!
Yes, very much so. And essentially the whole of the US eastern seaboard and a lot of the western seaboard (where it’s beach and not cliffs). However, many are second and third homes that people can afford to lose, so I don’t know if sea rise provides the proper amount of impetus for change. But I do know some people who have or who are planning to sell waterfront properties in anticipation of possibly being stuck with worthless or non-existent property, so maybe. But they are mostly people for whom the loss while not poverty-inducing, would be a major financial hit.
Why so serious citizen?
