Reply to comment by bozho in TIL about Deaf lifeguard Leroy Colombo, who overcame childhood paralysis through swimming and saved a record-breaking 900+ lives during his career. His swimming talent and use of sight rather than sound to identify drowning swimmers allowed him to save people other lifeguards would have missed. by lemontreelemur
Lol. Not even close to how that works. Just because you can exhale does not mean you can inhale.

There might be more Chinese historical objects at the National Palace Museum in Taiwan.
China went through a pretty hardcore "no fuck you dad" phase around the mid 20th century and destroyed a lot of stuff.

Remember that time a judge had to stop Trump from giving Covid relief to corporations?
Oopsies. Totally not intentional. They definitely are not trying to hurt native American people on purpose.

If the punishment for a crime is a fine then it's only a law for the poor.

Covid aid for native Americans? Fuck that. Basic healthcare? Fuck that too. Education assistance? Double fuck that, don't want the browns to get too uppity and start asking for more rights.
Want to build an oil pipeline right through their backyard? By all means, have at it.
Oh yeah, they can have some feathers too. Wonderful.

The Catholic church heavily downplays that incident.

All Jesus did was make a bunch of fish and wine, yelled at a tree and brought 1dude back to life.

Reply to TIL dunce caps were originally a sign of high intelligence and wisdom. Philosopher and theologian John Duns Scotus was a proponent of pointy hats as a way to funnel knowledge to the mind and his followers, called Dunsmen, wore them. By the 1500s the Dunsmen fell out of favor as “behind the times”. by Aequitas05
If you follow a dumbass fad and wear a stupid hat it's not "a sign of high intelligence" it's a sign of being an easy mark.
Just like Mensa.

>America is a relatively good country to be a minority in in spite of our culture
Lol. How fucking oblivious are you? The US has ~25% of the planet's prison population, ~33% of which is comprised of black people, when they are ~15% of the population in the country as a whole.
Get your head out of your ass dummy.

You've never actually been to another country in your entire life, have you? American white people are hilariously naïve.
