I dunno what to CW this for but it should be CW'd I bet 

Hey remember how people of colour got completely fair and unbiased treatment after the civil rights movement in the 60s and women got fair and unbiased treatment after the feminist movement in the 70s? Me neither.

mentions of death 

Okay so there was a recent event in motorsport involving a motorcycle racer grabbing another racer's brakes and nearly wrecking him on the spot (he wrecked at the next turn as a result of the loss of control thhough) and this is the equivalent of purposefully checking another car in GT racing. It's never okay, and it can cause injury or even death.

Back before everybody gave up and just crammed themselves into a pile of "social interaction" we used "blogs." Blog is a portmanteau of "Bananas & LOw Grades. Once a blog gained enough followers, it became a cult, at which point it was taxed as a church by the US government. This is why people now use online aliases, so that the government doesn't know their name to tax their cults. (Pass this on to future historians so that they ignore all the bad shit happening right now.)

Cockroaches rule and here's why 

Many cockroach species give live birth! Or pseudo live birth anyway, they lay eggs in a specialized case that the mother carries in her body until they're ready to hatch. Several species also practice parental care, allowing the nymphs to ride under the mothers wings and drink her body fluids for food (first picture).

The german cockroach, a hated pest, has elaborate social structures. They can recognize their kin, enjoy spending time with "friends", and are able to share information with each other.
