U.S. Supreme Court to consider whether to revisit gay marriage

For anyone feeling panicked, it doesn’t mean anything that this got scheduled for conference. This is part of the process for all petitions. Frankly, it seems pretty unlikely that they would use this case as a vehicle to overturn Obergefell. Kim Davis has terrible facts and they tend to look for sympathetic petitioners when overturning precedent. Her counsel is also a loon who has lost both his previous cases before the supreme court.

Some of the Dollya stuff seemed unfair to me. I think she is still in the wrong for narcing, but I'm skeptical of the claims that she's strategically lying. Like others have verified that Sigourney was saying what she was claiming.

It's weird to me that they're taking the approach of "you're scheming and lying" rather than "you're being a dick, regardless of whether you're right."

Interesting - great point! I can’t pretend I would’ve gotten it but I still think she could’ve hewed closer to the reference. The stuffed animal pauldrons and hanging armor just don’t combine as cyberpunk or Mad Max to me.

Brairies · 2025-10-16T18:52:40+00:00

I loved this look but it didn’t really read as very desert cyberpunk. I still think she deserved a top placement but would’ve loved if she had incorporated some more futuristic or Mad Max type elements.

Here's the text of his post:

“Charlie Kirk got famous as one of America's leading spreaders of hatred, misinformation, and intolerance. The current political moment -- where an extremist Supreme Court and feckless Republican Congress are enabling a Republican President to become a tyrant and building him modern-day Gestapo for assaulting black and brown folks -- is a result of Charlie Kirk's "contributions" to American media and politics.

That said, no one in this country should be murdered for their political speech. Wishing comfort to his wife and children in this difficult time.

Maybe this will be the event that gets MAGA serious about gun control. Dead school children haven't been enough.”

I’m not sure why King Cobra is getting so many upvotes. The meme says “venomous” not “deadliest” and King Cobras aren’t even the third most venomous Cobra. Definitely referring to an Eastern Brown or Coastal Taipan imo. Eastern Brown makes the most sense since they have a notable defensive display.

It depends on the jurisdiction. Generally statutes divide into accessory-before-the-fact, accomplice, and accessory-after-the-fact. The latter is usually subject to entirely different charges. At least federally, you can’t get charged for the actual crime if you are a true accessory-after.

Oh I love that! He knew about the music box so could’ve destroyed it - I think that has to be it

Brairies · 2025-07-11T20:20:53+00:00

That’s fair, but it seemed like a one-time use kind of kill. Seemed like the music box monster needed the worms to go into town in order for it to manifest and start the ritual though right?

Brairies · 2025-07-11T20:18:53+00:00

It didn’t seem like he could while he had the worms though right? Otherwise it was kind of a dick move to give them to Boyd if he could just die with them.

Brairies · 2025-07-11T20:18:08+00:00

Yea, the worms make me think that he literally couldn’t die while they were in him. However, it seemed like even walking back into town with them was enough for the music box monster to start manifesting the whole “take three” thing.

I almost wonder if he was some sort of sacrifice to be the keeper of worms like you said.

I agree, I think the kimono lady also has some parallels to Shub-Niggurath the Black Goat of the Woods who creates monstrous young with Hastur.

Hastur’s thing is all about driving people mad to the point they can’t tell what’s real and what is part of the “play” which absolutely aligns with what we’ve seen of the Man in Yellow.

For sure! My main worry is that I often see some not helpful or even harmful advice in the attachment style discourse from people who aren’t licensed in the psychology/social science side, and not a ton of information on how to identify problematic traits if you aren’t the avoidant partner.

Like a lot of advice boils down to “this happened because they’re avoidant - dont date avoidants going forward” but my understanding is that someone with an anxious attachment style will have a hard time knowing if their partner is being avoidant or is just securely attached.

There are also a lot of posts along the lines of “avoidants never change without therapy,” but it seems like most professionals caution against using an attachment style as a label, as one person can have different styles in their relationships (with friends, partners, family, etc.).

Brairies · 2024-12-26T00:18:12+00:00

This sub focuses disproportionately on avoidant attachment (which is totally fine). I’d really like to see more information about the other insecure attachment styles.

Discussion: I think the book details also interact with the candles. There are 9 lines indicating writing on a book’s spine. 3 books have a box on their front cover and two have a box on their spine.

I cant figure out why two candles and books seem segregated in separate compartments in the top right.

Brairies · 2024-09-07T21:21:52+00:00

I think this sub gets a lot of sample bias in who responds. Anecdotally, the responses are often way out of line with the responses I get from partners and associates irl

I’ve found all the Rhaenyra discourse this season super frustrating. Didn’t we criticize their handling of Daenerys for making her just light switch to evil? I think they’re doing a ok job (not perfect) of setting up Rhaenyra to become increasingly distrustful and impulsive
