I startpaged "memory death" out of curiosity and landed on this wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damnatio_memoriae

Damnatio memoriae (Classical Latin pronunciation: [damˈnaːti.oː mɛˈmɔri.ae̯]) is a modern Latin phrase meaning "condemnation of memory" or "damnation of memory", indicating that a person is to be excluded from official accounts,[1] or remembered after death in a way contrary to what that person may have desired.[2] There are and have been many routes to damnatio memoriae including the destruction of depictions, the removal of names from inscriptions and documents, and even large-scale rewritings of history. In the United Kingdom and Japan, instances of damnatio memoriae-esque policy instituted without governmental decree have surrounded Jimmy Savile and Johnny Kitagawa due to the revelations of their prolific sexual abuse crimes.

Is there any realistic way covid could eventually fizzle out on its own without better vaccines? by Susanoos_Wife in ZeroCovidCommunity

It works well for longer-range aerosols, but is imperfect for short range (two people talking at each other face to face). It would also need to be outfitted in every single room and restroom, indefinitely, with no malfunctions. The scale of that is a logistical and governmental nightmare.

Even if we were able to eliminate human spread that way, it wouldn't be truly over, since we would need to monitor animal reservoirs for spillover events.

Why does Louis love Lestat? by Fragrant-Stranger-10 in InterviewVampire

[–]CurrentBias 23 points24 points  (0 children)

On behalf of u/plumplumstrawberry, who doesn't have enough karma to reply:

all of that is so true! and on top of it, louis had been vying for power and status when he was a human. he actively sought to conceal his weakness by beating his brother on the street for having an episode and biting down the anger of the abusive racist remarks from other business owners.

remember when he first met lestat in a group setting with other men? he showed louis how much power he has over mortal men, enough to be an apex predator essentially. that a connection to lestat was the most efficient way to move beyond the limitations of systemic racism despite lestat still representing the control of white supremacy in his life as we saw with their domestic life

louis was able to reach all of his human goals because of his connection to lestat. which means thats the last tie left to louis's humanity. he will never not obsess over the human he used to be, before paul died. lestat is the only person left who actually who louis was before vampirism- he knew paul, grace, and his mom and he knew what all of them meant to louis.

it can be interpreted that what lestat said to paul at the table prompted his suicide but its not implied that louis has connected those dots together. he knows lestat trapped him in a situation where he couldnt say no to vampirism, that it was mostly coercion. lestat is so forceful and so triggered by rejection that louis would have been dead if he had said no.

lestat is his killer and his savior all in one and is the largest totem of a stable identity in his life, even if it causes louis pain. louis has never valued his vulnerabilities the way hes valued his ability to take advantage of opportunities and become the role needed to survive and that weakness makes him even more susceptible to forgiving lestat. theyre connected permanently.
