I don’t know much about bell peppers. I’m guessing the yellow ones are African, green europe, blue America?

So all art should be dropped until everyone is no longer poor?

I’m guessing the arts in Canada across the country amount to far more than $24 million. Some films and tv shows cost far more.

Yeah I’m not arguing he was a dick or not. Like Stalin, he helped stop the world falling into fascism. Stalin was also a dick. So we’re many people throughout history

Though I don’t know why such a guy was against using napalm. Maybe he grew a conscience in the 50s

I wonder how much the American politicians of the time resented British politicians for not getting involved. Did they just ignore it or were they vocal about it?

Edit: I mean Vietnam not Korea

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Sleep duration declines in early adulthood until age 33, and then picks up again at age 53. The study, involving 730,187 participants spread over 63 countries, revealed how sleep patterns change across the lifespan, and how they differ between countries. by Wagamaga

Similar age. I sleep 7.5 hours a day but I work 9-5 Mon-fri. Before when I did random shifts I’d sleep 5 hours at night and random nap where ever I could get them. I think a set routine is the biggest thing that helped my sleep pattern, more than diet, exercise etc.
