I feel you. Sometimes titles can be really misleading just to get that effect though, too. Last week there was an article talking about "the highest score in the history of Olympic surfing". Sure, it was true, but. Surfing was added to the Olympics in 2020. That's 1 Olympics ago. Stop implying so much more.

Yes and that too bad, I'm not sure if it was the novelty or just the naive rose-tinted glasses of youth but trailers seemed Awesome when I was a teenager.

Now? Eh.

I feel like I've seen too many trailers with shit exploding and the one and only funny scene of the movie, that they don't really attract me anymore.

Yeah, we have chickens running around where I live, and those mfers can really sound creepy as fuck. That sort of muted muffled gutteral shriek thing they do? That's never mentioned in children's farm animals books...

When I'm falling asleep or whatnot, I place my hand between my thighs or on my crotch (under all clothes). It's not a sexual thing. It just feels comforting, for some reason..

Don't Look Up. As an environmental biologist, I feel they really nailed the constant feeling of crisis that everyone either chooses to ignore or use for greed. There came a point where I couldn't stomach it anymore, I watch TV to escape reality not be reminded of it lol.

Would that mean anything if it were?

I always confuse that first ETA between Estimated time of arrival vs Estimated time to arrival.

I'm no expert, but my first thought is, molten metal is so hot it would probably do more damage than it would fix. Also, the shape is quite neat/precise, rarely the case when pouring a liquid on a curved surface. There doesn't seem to be any pooling in the cracks and depressions. The edges are very clean.

Furthermore, and to me, most convincingly, it looks like it's been hammered. There are no bubbles, thickness looks regular, the surface looks like it has been worked on, there are even what seem to be folds, to adapt the shape to the wound.

The bones have fused back together, which shows that there was healing, which takes time. So that indicates that the person survived the wound (and the procedure).

So that's what I would guess based on those photos.

I'm very impressed it worked. Look at the wound. Someone seems to have had their skull crushed in by a big blunt object, rock or hammer or whatever. I wouldn't really expect anyone to survive that, even with modern medical abilities.

Edit : I think I sort of misread your question. But either way, the info above still stands.

I would add, re: the execution idea. In most early civilizations, metal is a rare resource. Why waste it one someone you want to kill?

Huh, this one doesn't ring any bells for me. Is there some reference in particular I should recognize it from?

My unwillingness to knowingly hurt people. I think I would be happier doing my own thing, but would hurt or disappoint do many people by leaving them (my boyfriend, family, colleagues, friends....). So I'm just wasting my own life instead...

I'm semi-fluent in German and Spanish, and my strategy is guesstimate. I figure that I've probably read/heard the word before, so I just test out the genders on it and whichever one "feels more natural" or "sounds less weird", it's probably because I've heard it that way before, so I go with that.
