Reply to comment by TJR406 in TIL - Contrary of what everybody thinks, if you park your car at a dark spot at night, the chances of theft are smaller, because thieves don't like to use lights. by JosZo
Had a friend that went to juvie for that. His biggest mistake was doing it at the same parking lot multiple times. Tried it one time and a cop was in the car waiting for him.

The Sun also Rises by Hemingway. One of those books where everyone kinda sucks, but you feel for them anyway.

Call center jobs can be bullshit like this. I had a friend who was fired from a call center job because too many people who called wanted to cancel their service. Like, how is that under his control? What's he supposed to do? Just refuse to cancel their service? "Sorry, you're just going to have to keep paying your phone bill with us even though you got a new phone because I'll get fired if I cancel you."

Reply to comment by Atear in TIL The European 30 Years' War 1618 - 1648 began with Czech nobles throwing two Habsburg governors out of Prague castle window onto a huge dungheap. The corresponding carnage - fought over the issue of religious freedom following the Protestant Reformation - left millions dead. by Royal_Bumblebee_
It's still important context as to why we have separation of church and state in the US. Several States had established religions at the time the constitution was drafted, so leaving open the possibility of an established religion at the federal level could had led to conflict down the road that they wanted to avoid.

Southern Italy was also conquered by the Normans at one point too.
