We are deeply ignorant about our history. We all realize fairly quickly that what is taught to us in schools - is crazy incomplete, bent, and often enough wrong. We complain about it- but do nothing. Most of us have heard of "cuneiform" clay tablets recovered from Babylon, Sumeria, and the Hittites. What we don't know much is that they have been extensively translated now, and are available for anyone to read. It takes some effort- a lot of what is recorded are long religious prayers or poetry- so some perspective is needed. But some are long records of agreements between countries- and lists of laws. I find it very telling that a great deal of time is spent outlining the penalties for Farmer A cheating and lying about Farmer B, and stealing their crops and land. Ask a farmer- has any neighbor ever tried to move a fence- to their benefit- without telling you? If you dig into truly ancient history - and it is available - you'll find that today's problems - are really identical. That's what's so scary- we haven't changed- have NOT "improved" - and we don't know it.

The last Indian Residential School closed in 1994. The rest of society of kept in the dark of what was going on in those Catholic run schools until survivors started speaking out years later.
It was more than dressing Indigenous kids in school uniforms and making the learn in a school setting.
Boys and girls were sexually assaulted. Students were not allowed to speak their native languages, wear their own traditional clothes and boys hair was cut short, a practice of humiliation and degrading. It would be like cutting off all of a girl's hair, but maybe worse.
If a student spoke in their native language a teacher would stick their tongues with pins.
When the students got to the schools they were harshly scrubbed in baths all over, at every age. It has been described as "trying to erase the Indian out of us."
Students were not allowed to have any contact with their families. Parents and other family member of the children would try to sneak around the school, but if they got caught they were arrested.
During the "60s Scoop "children weren't sent to the schools by their family's own free-will. The kids were taken by force at gun point.
Sometimes a girl will become pregnant. The baby would be taken at birth and killed. Some say the father was one of the male staff, like a priest.
Many children fell ill and died due to lack of care. They were buried around the school in unmarked graves and their families may or may not have been told. Just left to guess what may have happened to their child.
The effects of the abuses and cultural genocide have affected multi-generations of the Indian Residential School students, leading to generations of poverty, mental health problems, lack of belonging and their own understanding of their culture.
There is still a lot of negative attitudes towards the Indigenous. Even with people disregarding and discrediting the abuse and neglect claims.

There are over 12,000 nuclear warheads operational and active around the world, and not all of them are accounted for. And if you live in a major city or close to a large international airport, military facility, industrial complex, infrastructure or communications hub or a large power plant, chances are there is a warhead pointing at you right now.
To cap it all off, there have been several instances of these weapons going off by accident and computer errors falsely alerting an attack.

Most floors in public places have traces of urine and fecal matter on them. This is why you should never wear outside shoes in your house.

As a person with arachnophobia, I can explain. People are scared of them for many different reasons. For me, I’m scared the ones with disproportionate bodies. (Small bodies, big legs) Some people find the way they move to be creepy.

First of all I recommend that you should definitely NOT read serial killer Albert Fish's Wikipedia page before going to bed, if you are a minor and if you are of a very sensitive The reason being because his tale is beyond horrific. Just thought I'd warn you all first.

Secondly one of the many horrific things (and there's a lot of them) that shocked me is how the psychiatrists diagnosed him with (and testified about also) around 13 different psychological abnormalities of a certain sort. His defense counsel James Dempsey even in his summation noted that Fish was a "psychiatric phenomenon" and that nowhere in legal or medical records was there another individual who possessed so many of these abnormalities.
