Let’s not do the ‘every Christian’ thing. It’s worth remembering the US has a very ‘unique’ type of Christian.

This. There is evidence that a preacher called Jesus existed, was crucified, and was well-regarded enough to start a following that persisted even after his death.
There isn’t, however, strong historical evidence for any of the magical parts of it.
Is that actually true? I suspect not.
Most people start “enjoying their own company” years before getting to try for real.
If there was a question of insensitivity, then surely problems would be much more prevalent at ages when people are enjoying themselves more frequently. But it’s not the case at all.

Just for balance, I can see how you could think shipping slaves from Africa to America via the Pacific and then the North Sea (of all places?) was unlikely. Maybe this person just isn’t aware of the Atlantic Ocean.

Is this what happens if you type 5318008 too often?
Fact 1 - sexually active people subconsciously look at peoples’ crotches when meeting them.
Fact 2 - evolution doesn’t fine tune things if they’re good enough to get the job done well.
So the fact that pubic hairs are unsightly crazy-looking things might not be because they are fine tuned to be like that - it might just be because they do their job well enough and they just ended up looking like that.
What job could that be?
To confirm visually that you are sexually mature.
That may literally be it - a localised fuzzy indicator of whether or not you’re able to make babies.
We’ll still have diversity (such as it is) - we have more than two parties.
If the local elections are anything to go by, however, the Tories have slipped into third place for the first time in history.
(Of course, I’m not daft enough to think local elections accurately predict general elections).
I’m not trying to downplay the reality of serious health concerns sometimes being behind food habits, but I think I need to say…
Picky eating is an absolutely normal part of child development. Anecdotally, both of my kids went through two distinct phases of picky eating, at around 3-5 and 8-11.
They gradually grow out of it. All you can do is try to make sure what they are eating is nutritious enough while they are going through it.
Dry cereal always worked (still does!) as a nutritious snack. Granted, the nutrition has all been sprayed on, but it’s still there.
A little mixed tub of Cornflakes/Branflakes/Rice Crispies/Coco Pops always goes down well.
Nerf Herder have a song called Courtney about Courtney Love.
You have to remember that America’s political spectrum is skewed heavily to the right.
‘Liberals’ only appear left-wing because your centre ground is much further to the right than many other developed countries.
In other countries ‘Liberals’ occupy the centre ground, with the left and right wings on either side.
I always wanted a Nokia - I know it was a cliche, but I was amazed at how indestructible they were. Even when they did actually break apart, you could just pick up the bits, clip them back together, and it would just work again - with no visible damage.
Also, SNAKE
I know it doesn’t help, but Europeans have always been amazed how much you guys were charged for SMS. Even in 1999, over here messages cost a fraction of what you were charged - that you pay for them at all these days is just mind-boggling.
I think it depends on the convention used in each country, so there isn’t one global correct answer.
In Britain the convention is Ground, 1st Floor, 2nd Floor.
As a Brit, I always assumed the American system worked like that because of freedom or something.
Disclaimer: I’m making absolutely no political commentary here - my brain just likes playing pattern spotting games…
The groups of three images to the side of the lower red box and lower green box are also the same as the groups of three immediately above and below the upper red and green boxes.
Edit: found another four.
Primary sources? No, but there are independent secondary sources by people with no skin in the game.
Antiquities of the Jews by Josephus (circa 93–94 CE).
Annals by Tacitus (circa 116 CE)
The earliest Christian writings are also more about the teachings of a disruptive Jewish preacher who was then crucified, than they are about magic.
