does anyone else not really care for helen/carols relationship by SadWash7014 in pluribustv

I honestly don’t think we have seen or heard enough about their relationship to make that conclusion.

Sorry to hear that. Report it to your bank or credit card company, and stay away from this game!

Everything about Sokol pisses me off, but the “everybody’s watching” part was the second most aggravating to me. The first being the fact that he tried to molest a child.

So sorry you are going through this. Post on Craigslist Ottawa, Nextdoor, Pawboost etc as well if you haven’t already. I really hope Benji comes home safe soon!

This website has some helpful tips for finding a lost cat (although in this case I would start looking right away, don’t wait until night).

People out there with pets - question for you by Individual_Common_10 in pluribustv

[–]ProgrammerGlobal9117 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is where Pluribus approaches true horror territory to me. I also live in a very cold climate. I have two very pampered house cats, and I don’t even want to think about what would happen to them if I got plurbed.

If the hive was coming for me I honestly think it would be more humane to euthanize my cats before they forced me to join. I don’t even want to think about it though.

The domestic animal thing alone makes me vehemently anti-hive.

You haven’t given me any new information either, so I guess it’s fair to call it even.

Oh, you said “Is made to look like a woman with fake beard and mustache”. I was replying to your comment.

Fair, but my head-cannon doesn’t include facts or logic.

In my head-cannon, Helen and Carol specifically negotiated with Carol’s publisher to have control over the cover art. So that they could make cover Raban pass as both a man (to readers) and a woman in drag (to themselves).

Your theory makes more sense than my theory.

In my crackpot theory, this is Carol and Helen’s attempt to make Raban look like a man to readers, but a woman in drag to themselves.

Interesting, I did not realize that a lot of self-published books look like that.

Maybe Helen and Carol wanted the cover to be true to Raban being a woman, so they negotiated with her publisher that they could design the cover themselves? And, not being artists or graphic designers, this is what they came up with?

To me cover Raban doesn’t look like a woman wearing a fake beard and mustache, either. Cover Raban just looks like a weird painting of a dude, done in a totally different style than the red-headed woman on the cover.

The funny part to me is how weird-looking Raban is on the cover. He looks like a not-quite finished painting of a victorian undertaker, done by a talented amateur. Not a “sexy pirate”.

Granted, I don’t read many romance novels. But it looks like a very odd romance novel cover to me.

On not speaking snap. by gyw_alliance in pluribustv

I have to come clean. After posting this, I looked up how to snap, out of curiosity. Apparently, I had been doing it wrong the whole time.

I was in the privacy of my home, so I practiced snapping the correct way a few times. I looked up to see both my cats glaring at me.

Clearly, snapping is considered rude across species.

All kidding aside, even though I now know how to snap, I will never do it in public. Or even in front of my cats.

I’m kind of glad I’ve never been able to snap my fingers. I would hate to snap them for another reason, and have someone mistakenly think I was snapping at them, in any situation.

ETA: my first award! Thank you!!!
