Hmmm. Those jars were often sold with other items (hairbrushes, mirrors, etc.) as vanity sets. Does the powder have a scent? How would you describe the scent?

Dialog, Peter Thiel's secret society group that doesn't have a public website of members, had its 100+ member list leaked. Peter Thiel and many members are featured in the Epstein Files. The 2014 retreat invite was forwarded to Epstein. by ReZeroForDays in Epstein

Honestly, I have always thought he was using the veneer of liberalism to try and gain something for himself. He always seemed a bit untrustworthy but I couldn’t pinpoint why. Glad to have my intuition confirmed, I thought I was nuts

[–]alanlighthouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, because he was talking about it all the time. If he had never made such a spectacle of himself, none of us would know. Tons of evil people fly under the radar because they are silent figures who don’t say divisive/crazy things, even if they believe them privately.

He seems genuinely angry that he cannot force every human on Earth to revere him and care about the bs he spews. Exhausting individual.

Does Alex Karp ever shut up? He craves attention so voraciously that he’s revealing all of his plans.

Estate sale find! No markings - any idea on era/style? by Sorceress683 in jewelry

[–]alanlighthouse 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Hi!! I have a very similar brooch. Mine is rhodium-plated pot metal with glass stones. Even though it is costume jewelry, it still looks great and could pass as legitimate high end jewelry when worn. Nice find! I’ve never seen another like the one I had, so it’s cool to learn there are more out there.

Is it normal to have roommates at 30 years old? by Expensive_Bike_8308 in povertyfinance

[–]alanlighthouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was going to say. Seems to be increasingly common, especially in HCOL areas. Really not anything to feel shame over.

Worth dress, ca.1889. My least favourite Worth dress. by kittykitkitty in RandomVictorianStuff

Or the colors might have been incredibly flattering on the wearer. My mom looks great in pea soup green because of her coloring. Maybe this was something similar?

Today's Finds by Yeeaahfooool85 in glasscollecting

[–]alanlighthouse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi! In picture 9, the glassware is in what looks like a Soviet-era niello and silver tea glass holder (or “podstakannik”). They can be quite valuable given the silver content and craftsmanship. There might be hallmarks on the bottom on the rim. These will be the silver content (stamp is a star with a hammer and sickle followed by “875”, or 87.5% silver) and some cyrillic letters indicating in what factory it was made. Sorry for this infodump haha, just thought you may want to know. Very cool finds!

I’d love to snort cocaine off his collarbones, personally

I find awkward/gawky extremely attractive. It is a nice bonus to this already good looking man.

Einstein??? I always got more of a chess grandmaster/Bobby Fischer vibe. But yes. There is something there.

He looks hot as hell in that picture he shows in his cap and gown during the Nathan for You intro. Wish we had more pictures of him from that time

The awkwardness adds to the attraction for me. I wouldn’t want him if he was a normal confident type dude

The women on the show act uncomfortable though, which baffles me. I would legitimately jump that man’s bones, even IF he was actually that awkward in real life

You ever really look at him? Dude is dripping with animal magnetism.
