Definitely a better ratio than me, that's for sure.

I have a chubby boy (we're working on it, I swear), he can still squeeze through tight spaces if he wants to. He just typically doesn't want to.

Indeed, there's no one golden bullet that will fix all our problems. It requires multiple vectors, not just for freedom of choice but for redundancy as well.

After browsing the "History of Germany" wikipedia page, I found the German Empire that popped in around 1848, which had the the same colors of the modern German flag.

Commenting on posts about politics.

Oh, it was plenty clear, no worries. I just like taking things too literally as a joke. People totally think it's funny and aren't completely sick of me by now :D

I don't know that it is surprising, just that it is. And should be broadcast at every opportunity, just to catalogue the atrocities if no one is actually going to stop them.

Who would mummify a mannequin?!

Marketing videos, mostly. Ostensibly they're original videos showcasing some of the talent and content from the previous year. The last couple of years have been particularly bland, though, as I understand it.

Maybe they just don't know and are asking for community context.

The Farseer trilogy by Robin Hobb. It was my first experience with what could be considered a "grimdark" or where things consistently go wrong no matter how well the protagonists achieve their goals.

It was just a constant stream of the main character getting shit on and failing the people around him (despite doing his very best not to) without any successes. I think I got through two books before I finally had enough.

I'm sure people enjoy it, and it's well written... it just did not fit me at all.
