That's true, but like physical attractiveness, large data sampling (surveying) has proven there's 'vast majority' results to be found... like Grace Kelly & the Exorcist.
Our minds are heavily conditioned to perceive the world similarly. But there's still a ton of variety in how individual minds react to the same stimuli. Yes? Grace Kelly: attractive, roger that. The Exorcist scary, roger that. But ... I was just talking to a young woman yesterday who only got scared in two scenes of The Exorcist, but found the Babadook really scary!

Definitely, lot's of variation in perception on pretty much everything, even ingested substances. I was just talking about when actual social science experimentation displays a vast majority of people concurring on shared stimuli.

A young woman, you say? Say, rachMiel, are you a male or female? My mind guessed your name was Rachel.

Unhappy

Someone in town had a dead coyote and a dead racoon hanging upside down from a tree in front of their house with a red bow on top of each carcass

Maybe they're a gift from someone who doesn't live there. If they were gutted, maybe they're 'meat hanging' (done for flavor and tenderizing).

For real? That's demented. Little kids could see that.

There's plenty of better tastin' wild game 'round these parts like whitetail and bear. I think it was an ignorant joke. They took it down cuz it was on a school bus route. Ahh rural livin'...... Preserve Wildlife!
