Throughout my life, I've befriended several people like that. They all have mental or physical disabilities, but you would never know until they told you.

I guess that would make Brazil the country with the most land borders shared with other countries.

Well, if you like your food warm, and don't know how to operate a microwave, your options are kind of sparse.

Vasily Grossman, a Ukrainian Jew himself, wrote this after WW II on Jewish Nazi sympathizers and collaborators:

The violence of a totalitarian State is so great as to be no longer a means to an end; it becomes an object of mystical worship and adoration. How else can one explain the way certain intelligent, thinking Jews declared the slaughter of the Jews to be necessary for the happiness of mankind? That in view of this they were ready to take their own children to be executed - ready to carry out the sacrifice once demanded of Abraham?

Yeah, that's what they do. People don't notice that? I've known several guys that worked this kind of jobs on and off when really strapped for money. Pretending to be women online. Unethical AF, of course, but this is more widespread than you could possibly imagine. And it's not hard at all to get hired. I feel sorry for the dudes falling for it, though.

Flea markets, anyone? There are several big ones in my area, occurring regularly. I go several times a year and it's always so much fun when I do. And it's very easy to chat people up.
