No joke, this administration will probably try to conceal his death for as long as possible through AI. They must be aware that he is their golden goose; neither Vance nor any of his other ilk have the same cult leader status as he does.

I'm autistic and I probably would have interpreted "pet names" like that as well. 😭

Also, I would be too embarrassed to assume the other person is talking about romantic pet names. What if they were not and I'd make the situation awkward? Too much of a risk.

Not just innuendos but themes that are more mature than we would associate with children. Not only for the parents accompanying their kids but good writing makes it possible to teach a young audience about otherwise difficult topics. Kung Fu Panda 2 deals with a whole genocide, for example. The Hunchback of Notre Dame had all that about religious fanatism and the deliberate racial persecution of a certain group of people. Thinking back on it, 101 Dalmatians had a woman chasing puppies to make a coat out of puppies. Innuendos are funny if you look back at them as an adult but that's also what makes movies timeless and rewatchable even after aging out of the main target group.

TIL Ancient Roman farm women made wine, oil and profits. Historians dismissed them as 'housekeepers'

Sounds absolutely ridiculous. Even if you look at it through a narrow lense of "man weapon woman.. baby??" being buried with weapons doesn't have to mean one was a warrior.

And it's a double whammy because sexist notions are obvious but you see SO many people cry about "feminist revisionism of history" because it doesn't reaffirm big muscly manly masculine dudes (even though of course they still existed).

Cat sounds are the best ones, I don't make the rules. Then peacock and shoebill stork. If I went into all the bird calls I'd be here for hours though!

So many pick-mes among women who vote like this. They think they are different and will be seen as "one of the good ones" with special rights to be part of the "cool kid in-group" while the other side just thinks of them as useful idiots.
