Mine was the fact that Anne Frank and Martin Luther King Jr were both born in 1929 😭
  • Huh, I never read too much into it but it definitely sounds like that might be the case.

    This Billboard article from the time of the 2005 legal settlement mentions:

    "The settlement ends a legal dispute that some of Parks’ own relatives had criticized, saying she wouldn’t have minded the use of her name in the song “Rosa Parks” had she not been mentally impaired. "

    ...

    "After that lawsuit was filed, some of Parks’ relatives began questioning her well-being and the actions of her caretaker and the lawyers who filed the suit, and alleged she is probably unaware of the lawsuits."

    So perhaps while she did technically live long enough to sue OutKast, she was suffering from dementia at the time and it's possible that she was unaware of the actions taken in her name.

    The more you know!

  • Anon doesn't tip
  • Id be amazed if a single commenter in this whole thread has worked in hospitality in any capacity, let alone waiting tables.

    Most of these comments make me wonder if the poster has ever even once had a good night out at a nice restaurant.

    Disclaimer: I live in a country without a serious tipping culture. But still...

  • Ukraine cannot defeat Russia – the best the west can do is help Kyiv plan for a secure post-war future
  • I try to be open minded and give things a fair shake but when your article opens with "a guy I know compared Ukraine to the Germans in 1945" and follows up with "Russia is undefeatable therefore resistance is futile" I gotta assume I'm not looking at fair, balanced and transparent journalism. Downvoted.

  • Let's discuss: Uplifting Games
  • Like everyone else Journey was the first thing that popped into my mind.

    Id give a shout-out to Death Stranding, too. The game is far from perfect but it's basically a hiking simulator which I find soothing. You also carry things so you could say it's uplifting in the literal sense haha!

  • Can anyone ID this succulent?

    Saw it in the botanic gardens at Williamstown and thought it looked nice.

    Would like to know the name of it.

    Can anyone help?
