    1. ^^^^This and/or anywhere in the shithole -stans and India anywhere outside of the megalopolises. Stone age people pooping in a field without the sense to dig a hole first.

      The sewers in Rome were built by the Romans and are still in use today from what I've read.

  5. I can't watch anything narrated by a computer-generated voice, especially when it speaks in neo-Valley Girl cadence and diction.

    The female principal at my two youngest childrens' high school talks that way. She's in her late-30s and sounds like she's fourteen.
