For a big part, they didn't. Of course in smaller circles people knew exactly what happened, but nationally it was denied or downplayed and covered up by the South. Until sometimes they couldn't. Like in the Emmett Till case, who was on a family visit from Chicago and was lynched in Alabama. This got a lot of media coverage nation wide for a change.
Usually yes, and I will acknowledge that skipping this step is showing laziness or incompetence, but I don't think children are already reasonable, especially when they're tired (this happened late in the evening) and already committed to throwing a tantrum. And in this case the whole situation might have been already stressful for the parents anyway, which doesn't help. Probably they should have talked about it more way before they entered the plane, and prepared the kid for what was going to happen. And maybe they did. But the situation then being what it is I think options can be very limited, and there probably wasn't much time to try reasoning with the kid
Sure, we know what not to do, but do we also know what we should do instead then? Sometimes you need kids to comply within a certain time frame and that's going to require some pressure one way or the other and no, it's not going to scar them for life
The meaning is clear, but I never heard "it's curtains" irl. It seems it was popular in gangster movies mid 20th century and apparently (still?) well understood in the eighties, but are people in the US still saying that?
I read his books in German, but there seem to be English translations and unless they're really bad it should not matter for enjoying his writing or the stories. I read Noah first, but as far as I remember it's a very good thriller, but not that psychological, at least in comparison. After that I just started his books chronologically. Does not matter though, there is no continuing story line or returning characters. But I can vouch for the psychological character of at least his first four books (Therapy, Amok, The Child, and The Soul Breaker).
Switzerland. Taking the very busy cableway down the mountain. People waiting in line to get in. Next stop, I see some people exiting and immediately getting in line again there. Apparently they thought you need to get in line again at every stop. Crazy. Sweet maybe, but crazy.
Plus one for werewolves, a lot of fun and because of the debating element you get to see people getting creative, evasive, their ability to lie and what not
Jesus is not mentioned anywhere other than scriptures from hundreds of years after his supposed existence.
A bit off topic, but this is an exaggeration. There are several sources from the first century. That's decades at most, not centuries. The letters of Paul and the gospels, obviously, but also Jewish historian Josephus and some Roman governor from somewhere in what is now Turkey I think. There is actually not that much debate among historians that Jesus existed. Whether or not you want to believe he was saving the world is another thing of course.
I'm not concerned per se and I definitely applaud the MFA requirement. I mean I hate MS and don't like apps I don't need, and I don't trust them, but as others pointed out this would mostly just be whiny. That's why I asked for reasons why restricting users to MS Authenticator would be preferable. If it's more secure or technically way easier and thus cheaper to maintain then fine, I'll find an acceptable way to comply. If not, then it's them who are whiny and I'd rather make the case to let us use whatever authenticator we already have installed.

Wikipedia has a nice article about it. It's rare in European languages, but it does exist

Maybe check out Fragile (by Sting) and it's background story

I you like psychological horror/thrillers then Sebastian Fitzek will keep you busy (and maybe awake at night)
In Dutch for example you can call it "gemeentepils", which will translate to something like communal lager.
My main problem with it is that you cannot scroll using the pen

If you haven't seen it yet, try Death and the Maiden (1994)
No it was by trial and meant as punishment. Quite common even, but I first heard of it in relation to Cromwell c.s.
The fact that they dug up Oliver Cromwell's body for a posthumous execution. It's just insane on so many levels
