Just like internalized misogyny is very much a thing in women, internalized racism is a thing, too. It's sort of like a poor person aligning themselves with the rich against their own interests, if that's easier for you to visualize. All that to say, I agree with the other commenter— that cop is blue.

He wrote this for himself in his Meditations. So he wasn't telling this to anyone but himself, therefore not 'gaslighting' anyone. Beyond being a roman emperor, he is also a pretty respected philosopher, and that generally doesn't happen without having something interesting to say on the subject.

I personally think the company you choose to keep says a lot about you. There's being polite with your partner's friends and then there's being all over someone like a bestie. It's amazing how well her PR machine works that she gets white knighted so much, even on Lemmy. May I remind everyone that she is a billionaire and didn't get to be one accidentally. She's just as bad as the rest of them, she just pays people to make her seem not as threatening, and it's clearly working based on all the free defense she gets on the internet.

She's not your friend. Arguably, she's Brittany Mahome's friend.

Following up with an "You're right, I don't know you"

Idk, the recent pic of her chummy day/night out with Brittany Mahomes planted quite a bit of doubt for me. There was a lot of speculation after those pictures released that she'd come out for Kamala, to get ahead of any backlash.

It looks like fabric scraps roughly stuffed with fluff. With a little help/guidance, a five year old could definitely make this. Working with needle and thread isn't some archaic lost knowledge, lol. I've found that if we have faith in them and let them try stuff, kids can do all kinds of stuff we don't think they should be able to.

Have been? It's already done for the most part. AFAIK, there's only one, maybe two companies still making phones with headphone jacks. Drives me up a wall, I fucking hate it.

Is it just me, or does she look GINORMOUS compared to that child? He looks at least 3, but is the relative size of my 5 month old?

Dammit, this is why you always secure your lifeline before entering the Rabbit Hole

Yes. Then later, throwing up hair balls together will be a bonding experience.

I would click through some of the examples in your wiki link and try and notice a few things that most of the antebellum houses have in common. They're usually defined by the their blocky shape and the large columns in front; very Greek-revival.

This house, however, has completely different details and layout. Beyond the fact that it's missing the telltale columns and imposing silhouette, the design is more intricate and a touch more delicate. The Victorians loved fine details, and were very 'extra' in that way.

But honestly, all of that aside, the biggest tell is just the date it was built. A different style was simply the fashion then compared to earlier in the century. Just like how mid century modern was it's own thing outside of WW2 era suburban homes, though they're similar.

I mean, yeah. It's just a different style altogether. Parlors and room number has nothing to do with what the house looks like and the architectural era it belongs to.

It would be more accurate to say that it smacks of the gilded age (a time of the greatest wealth disparity in our history) than of the civil war era, even though that still isn't quite right, as the Victorian era is its own thing outside of the Edwardian era.

The US has had more than one age of servitude beyond just the obvious slavery era, sorry to say. It's kind of our brand.

Do you mean plantation era...? Because it doesn't seem like any plantation era house I've seen. More like a pretty standard Victorian, imo, which tracks for when it was built. I'm just a lay person, however, and certainly no architect, so I could be wrong.

Fun fact, licking can be a sign of dominance in cats. So when they lick you while biting or wrestling, they may not be trying to make amends!

If you're looking for a more schlocky horror experience, give Resident Evil 8 a try! Extremely fun to play with a story that would be kinda 'eh' if the performances didn't elevate it to cult-following b-movie perfection.

Subnautica would be a good game to transition from the end of summer to the beginning of fall. Spooky atmosphere where you play (almost) entirely underwater.

Crow Country came out earlier this year and definitely capitalizes on PS1 era horror games. In that vein also, Signalis is an excellent cerebral sci-fi horror.

Horror comedies are definitely a thing, but tbh I'd still consider Alan Wake 2 an outright horror even with the lighter stuff! Very spooky elements, with great writing and story crafting. Bonus points if you play Remedy's other games for the Easter eggs

None of the others are as good as Until Dawn, imo, unfortunately :(

I keep hoping, but no joy every time

Just came across this guide, thank you for your consistent work on it :)

Alrighty, yup that's nasty. Didn't know they came in cubes

Oh, is that not spam in the pic? Thought it was, my bad!
