According to the article, they were not there as groundkeeper or landscaper or anything practical lol. Even funnier, the earlier trend seems to have been to create an impression of someone living in their garden (like a garden gnome) before they actually went on and hired a real human being as accessoire for their garden. In that way I can totally see rich people one upping each other with their new ‘toy’.

In some early instances, hermits were simply represented or hinted-at, rather than personified; outside a folly or grotto, a small table and chair, reading glasses and a classical text might be placed suggesting that it was where a hermit lived. Later, suggestions of hermits were replaced with actual hermits – men hired for the sole purpose of inhabiting a small structure and functioning as any other garden ornament. Hermits would sometimes be asked to make themselves available to guests, answering questions and providing counsel. In some cases, the hermits would not communicate with visitors, functioning instead like a perpetual stage play or live diorama

It’s already a law for anybody born there. Not the otherwise they’ll bomb your home part, but the send money part for sure.

On the one hand yes, that’s why at some point people started using the + to make up for every missing letter. An easy way out would to be to say non-hetero-non-cis-folk but then you still miss some groups. You could just say gay people, or queer people, most people will still feel represented. But I like the long string of letters which is a true abomination because of all those letters, exactly because each letter represents someone (a bunch of them even) and it allows for conversation going. The number 2 for example got a lot of people who read this post informed about two-spirited people who maybe never heard those poeple exist before. That matters a lot. If you see for example now republican politicians talking about biological sex even though they never seem to have heard about intersex people it shows how much of the hate comes from not knowing and not understanding. If you’ve read all this, I hope you’ve not read it as an attack because it is not. You going on google is exactly the point. But if you don’t like doing that, please know (most) gays dont believe you have to, people know they are a minority and often don’t mind just telling you about their sexuality or gender when you ask.

I don’t disagree, and this is a fail from the side of the french government. But at the same time, ‘large company diverting money put aside for marketing to safer roads’ is actually good news if you ask me.

According to BETC, Paris, rubber speed bumps have been banned in France since 2009 due to their slippery surface during heavy rain. Despite this, they are still largely used in France as small municipalities lack the financial resources necessary to upgrade them.

Alongside the agency, French car brand Citroën is offering to substitute France’s outdated speed bumps with safer branded alternatives – the cost of which is equivalent to a billboard ad. The Bumpboards, white with a logo and tagline, are installed in partnership with local authorities in full respect of all regulations in place.

Thank God they’ll soon have a Trump phone to sell, imagine how lost they’d be without all that revenue compensating for these losses.

Nice

The trend continued through the 1830s, when the idea became less popular as estate landscaping concepts evolved.

Can’t wait for Nat geo to make a series about maga-inventions. Must be some wild never-published concepts in there.

Totally, this is how you play Trump if you don’t have a handwritten letter from your king

horse wurst?

Considering manufacturers will all have to use the same software it might still be useful info to compare different models and different brands, because a similar amount of mAh doesn’t necessarily result in a similar battery life.

Love the image

I know but it is already in use ;)

Lol indeed

Do they already have a name for Nato without US?

Even they found that too creepy I guess

Hope your neighbor checks that with actual black people, but I guess she doesn’t know any.

Damn it’s been a while since a political nottheonion was actually a good nottheonion

I came to believe this bullshit is bought by people who can afford to also buy the normal variant and just flex their shitcoins and digital cards at a Trump dinner to prove their loyalty.

If you have to pay 100$ to someone and then choose to pay in a different currency, I would assume the credit card company withdraws a value high enough they don’t loose money when paying that someone.

Don’t know about Canada specifically but as far as i know asylum laws are about having a valid reason, so being from a specific place is less often a valid reason than being from a minority (can also be religious or ethnical) or having certain political views. They would likely sooner accept for example Amish , indigenous or democratic people only before just accepting anyone from the US. I think you’re wrong in believing that is unlikely to happen if you see how anyone with a Hispanic demeanor is being treated right now.
