@designmom these people need to go through any archives and they'll see jobs listed against women ( washerwomen, maids, sellers,...) they were simply not allowed to keep their own money. Stop being so blind and short-sighted that you can only think about the american middle class nodel.

My daughter came home from school and said,
“Mom, you’re not going to believe what happened in history class today.”
Her teacher told the class they were going to play a game.
He walked around the room and whispered to each kid whether they were a witch or just a regular person. Then he gave the instructions:
“Form the biggest group you can without a witch. If your group has even one, you all fail.”
She said the whole room instantly lit up with suspicion.
Everyone started interrogating each other. Are you a witch? How do we know you’re not lying?
Some kids clung to one big group, but most broke off into smaller, exclusive cliques. They turned away anyone who seemed uncertain, nervous, or gave off even the slightest hint of being guilty.
The energy shifted fast. Suddenly everyone was suspicious of everyone.
Whispers. Finger-pointing. Side-eyes. Trust dissolved in minutes.
Finally, when all the groups were formed, the teacher said,
“Alright, time to find out who fails. Witches, raise your hands.”
And not one hand went up.
The whole class exploded. “Wait! You messed up the game!”
And then the teacher dropped the bomb:
“Did I? Were there any actual witches in Salem, or did everyone just believe what they were told?”
My daughter said the room went dead silent.
That’s when it hit them. No witch was ever needed for the damage to happen. Fear had already done its work. Suspicion alone divided the entire class, turning community into chaos.
And isn’t that exactly what we’re seeing today?
Different words, same playbook.
Instead of “witch,” it’s liberal, conservative, vaxxed, unvaxxed, pro-this, anti-that.
The labels shift, but the tactic is the same.
Get people scared. Get them suspicious. Get them divided.
Then sit back while trust crumbles.
The danger was never the witch.
The danger is the rumor. The suspicion. The fear. The planted lies.
Refuse the whisper. Don’t play the game. Because the second we start hunting “witches,” we’ve already lost.
@therobotdreamer@hassanrahim yup, they messed up on purpose. Their strategies to get people to spend are vicious: you can’t find easily what you want which allow them to expose their users to as many items they wouldn’t buy.
@ADHDForReal it's just the digital equivalent of having everything on your desk: best way to find sth again because you'll see it at anytime if you're looking for sth else.
@vikare06 Maybe bc the studios are now devaluating the effort it requires to make good animation bc "tech makes everything faster" and keep killing quality by crushing deadlines while under-paying animators. Creativity comes from time and financial safety.
@CinemaScene404 This film is harrowing. unnamed Middle-East. She has a child with a man from another religion. She marks the child with a 3 dots tat. The child is taken away, her man killed. She joins the rebels. The child is trained to be a torturer, he will rape his own mother in prison.
@Enezator That's Aurelia Agel, one of the best stuntwoman in Hollywood. She's the double for most of the badass female characters. With her boyfriend (the blong guy at the beginning) they do a lot of these vids to play up fights choreo.
@drctmglesss2 @Enezator In a public gym yes. They do these choreo in their own gym. Her boyfriend is a trainer for other stuntmen so all these videos are made in their own gym studio for professional stuntmen.
@realEstateTrent Saving trick from old times: Batch cooking in the weekend then unfreeze blocks for meal times during the week. Also, if the kids are old enough: make them make an easy to put together meal :) - e.g burgers, pizza... They'll feel empowered and there's less work for you.
@nic_carter ... and here's the difference : the left thinks in systems and understand the knockdown effect of AI at large (depletion of ressources, mental atrophy...) while people on the "right" are into easy and cheap self-serve. You won't go anywhere by yourself if the whole ship sinks.
@Spartakussug You’re incredibly blind to the reality of women‘s networking and socialisation patterns. The only women beyond 40 who feel lonely are the ones whose lives revolves entirely around their husband or children. Co-dependency is unhealthy, whatever the gender.
@itsme_urstruly I stopped my unconscious self-blaming. I would blame myself for not being on top of things, not good enough etc…etc… all that was wasting my energy and I resented going about my day. Things change when I tuned it off and focused the energy saved forward.
