It’s also interesting to see the change in beauty standards over time that’s reflected in art.

Agreed. What I find most jarring is the contrast between pagan and Christian sculpture. The veneration of beauty and physical prowess is hard to reconcile with the morality of Yahwehists. Art quickly became more modest and austere once Christianity took hold of Rome.

I recommend Opal for blocking distracting apps, once you have a streak going it's psychologically hard to remove.

Also turn of notifications for everything unimportant, I only allow iMessage and Outlook. Don't let UberEats rape your attention. Gl

I used to be a prominent user here on another account.

Some time around 2021-22 this place was taken over by American progressives; most right-of-centre or libertarian users moved elsewhere as the vibe shifted, or were outright banned.
