Except the water faucets ("taps") come in pairs, one with cold water and one with hot. So, not so much like going into the future, but more like some primitive land too stubborn to change for the better in even the most straightforward, obvious ways. 😆

For a lot of women the bathroom is the only way to escape unwanted male attention.
Bill Gates signed his pledge more than 10 years ago. His wealth doubled in the last 7 years, meaning that he's gotten average increases of like 10% per year.
Mr. Gates, you're going the wrong way!
Didn't Bill Gates sign a pledge to give all of his money away? And he is billions richer than last year? Huh.
I'm learning Chinese now and it seems to have a similar change in pitch as European languages when asking a question. 你说汉语吗？

The first rule of Christianity is, "I am the Lord thy God. Thou shalt have no other gods before me."
There is no probation against killing in general in Christianity, only murder, which makes an appearance as the 5th commandment. Murder being unlawful and/or unjustified killing, so clearly wartime killing is a-okay in Christianity.
Now, you could argue that "love thy neighbor as thyself" might implicitly forbid killing, but if you start looking to Christianity for morality or even simple consistency you're going to have a bad time.

The Scots are a violent, savage people. I was attacked there and beaten, and everyone I met on the rest of my week stay regaled me with stories of people they knew who had been similarly brutalized. "Oh yeah my sister got a kicking last week." "My mate Barry tried to pull some geezers off a bird and then she helped them give him a kicking!" And on and on. Amazingly even more vicious than the English, which hardly seemed possible.
