There’s so much happiness behind these tears

Lei Feng was a People's Liberation Army truck driver who died age 22 when a truck he was directing backed into a telegraph pole and killed him. He had lived a selfless life and spent his time helping his fellow soldiers, writing about his love of the Revolution and Chairman Mao, and getting his parents to pay for expensive photo sessions in which he posed with a Type 50 PPsh SMG (which he had no business carrying as he was a truck driver) and his trademark enormous hat. You can see pictures of him all over China with patriotic slogans extolling his virtues and telling us to be more like him. Of course, there have been attempts to make movies of him but they're never successful as 2.5 hours of a guy in a big hat ironing all the shirts isn't much fun. In fact, one film in 2013 failed to sell a single ticket in Nanjing and government workers were ordered to take their families to the cinema to see it.

Anyway, now you know... and knowing's half the battle.

The algo is more concerned with engagement than who you're subscribed to, but you can sidestep this effect by deleting your viewing history.

A cad is a man who is not gentlemanly or honorable, especially toward a woman. He asked the waitress for her phone number and left you with the check? That cad!

After seven days he was quite tired, so God said:

"Let there be a day-

Just for picnics with wine and bread."

He gathered up some people He had made

Created blankets, and laid back in the shade

The people sipped their wine

And what with God there,

They asked him questions

Like: Do you have to eat

Or get your hair cut in heaven?

And if your eye got poked out in this life

Would it be waiting up in heaven with your wife?

God shuffled his feet

And glanced around at them

The people cleared their throats

And stared right back at Him

So he said:

"Once there was a boy who woke up with blue hair.

To him it was a joy 'til he ran out to warm air...

He thought of how his friends would come to see

Would they laugh, or had he got some strange disease?"

God shuffled his feet

And glanced around at them

The people cleared their throats

And stared right back at Him

The people sat waiting

Out on their blankets in the garden

But God said nothing...

So someone asked Him,

"I beg your pardon.

I'm not quite clear about what you just spoke...

Was that a parable, or a very subtle joke?"

God shuffled his feet

And glanced around at them

The people cleared their throats

And stared right back at Him

A proud day to be a Bulbacel

Netherlands, leading the way of societal progress. Weed, the right to work in their undies and now beating poor farmers.

There's a great deal of debate on this matter, but this song essentially started the electronic dance music fad
