Humans have had a taste for the macabre at least for as long as we have written history. Public executions used to be a past time activity (even Jesus' crucifixion is told like it was a public show), the morgue of Paris was a tourist attraction, even the sanitised (and controversial) Body Worlds exhibition has no trouble finding an audience. Maybe what's weird is our relationship with death and putrefaction. It happens to everyone yet it's somehow in bad taste to talk about it.

Or we can go Ursula Le Guin and say "waiving shifgrethor"

I also want to know. Same with Tony Blair. Alas, I'm not a legal scholar.

I think the naysayers don't live in Germany, or at least are not used to the idea of mixed use neighbourhoods.

For a family trip? Toilet break, coffee, cakes for the kids, that's 15-20 minutes on a rest area. We do this on a weekend, so need a quick grocery run (our supermarkets are famously closed on Sunday), that's easily 30-40 minutes total.

Isn't it an old video? I saw it back in the heyday of Carpool Critics Movie Podcast

Really? But most consumer products work so easily nowadays.

What do you mean, I can plug this USB stick in and it works without me having to turn the system off and start another boot cycle? Then when I finish, I can just unplug it and it doesn't break?

It's like magic.

I also love me some toned abs. The guys in my skate park wears crop tops and sometimes I just sit on the ground eating cherries.

Rich white women of a certain age might have been the ones whose parents chose to not send to college over their brothers. Perhaps this goes for rich women of any colour. My mother's (now 68 yo) parents sent her brothers to college, not the girls. My mother got a vocational training, contributed to the brothers college funds, and then finally paid for herself through college. My mother's not white.

I believe that most people have a certain hunger for information and education, and if college wasn't an option, they'd look for these educations elsewhere.
