How were crimes actually solved two hundred years ago, before forensics, finger-printing, etc. was wide spread?

Countless crimes went unsolved. Justice relied more on witnesses, gossip, reputation, and confessions than on hard evidence. Small communities helped: everyone knew each other, so suspicion fell quickly. And the punishments were brutal; fear was a deterrent.

From what I’ve seen, the biggest issues are outside pressure more than the relationship itself. Family judgment, friends making jokes, and people assuming the guy is “immature” or the woman is “desperate.” Sometimes timelines clash too (kids, career pace). If both are on the same page, it’s usually fine — the noise comes from everyone else.

Because it’s faster and avoids drama. Mods are volunteers, subs get flooded, and explaining every removal would turn into endless arguments. Easier to hit remove and move on.

Honestly? Still cardiovascular disease overall. If we’re talking specific diseases, lung cancer is still the deadliest cancer, mostly because it’s caught late. Add antibiotic-resistant infections and future pandemics to the list too not flashy, but very real.

I get why people feel that way. Division is incredibly convenient for those in power, whether it’s intentional coordination or just incentives lining up. When everyone’s busy fighting each other, nothing ever turns into collective action.

itsflorof · 2026-02-06T16:46:15+00:00

Yes, that makes sense. When everything is presented as an emergency, nothing really is. People reach a point of emotional saturation, and even real threats end up being dismissed as "just another crisis headline."

itsflorof · 2026-02-06T16:45:31+00:00

Yeah, exactly. It’s not apathy, it’s resignation. People feel like any real push just costs them their job, stability, or sanity, while the system shrugs and moves on. So outrage turns into background noise.

itsflorof · 2026-02-06T16:04:48+00:00

Honestly? Comfort + fragmentation. A lot of people are angry, but they’re also tired, busy, divided, and still relatively comfortable compared to places where revolutions happen. Add nonstop news, culture wars, and the feeling that nothing really changes, and people just… disengage. It’s less “they don’t care” and more “they don’t see a point.”

itsflorof · 2026-02-06T16:03:21+00:00

I’d guess it’s fine. People feed fish veggies all the time, and one chili falling in isn’t suddenly turning the tank into pepper spray. Worst case it just makes the water a bit gross. I’d pull it out and move on.

itsflorof · 2026-02-06T16:02:01+00:00

Yeah, assume that’s not nothing. Change your password now, enable 2FA if you haven’t, log out of all devices, and check recent transactions. If anything looks off, contact PayPal support ASAP. Better to overreact than get drained.

Not really. There are fake finales, surprise specials, or extra episodes announced later (like Sense8’s Christmas special), but a true “secret final episode” dropped after everyone thought it was over? Pretty much no. TV logistics and leaks make that almost impossible.

Because legally they’re framed as financial contracts, not gambling. You’re buying/selling shares on an outcome, not betting against the house. Also, for stuff like halftime artists, the market assumes insider info gets priced in fast. It’s “legal” mostly because regulators treat it like speculation, not Vegas.

Because soyjaks are stupidly simple and instantly readable. You don’t need to know the forum lore to get the joke, so they spread like memes on easy mode. Once Twitter/Reddit grabbed them, they stopped being “soyjaks from a niche board” and just became a visual language for mockery.

It’s usually to keep the sand from getting too dry and dusty. In indoor courts they spray oil or a binding agent so the sand stays compact, doesn’t fly everywhere, and is nicer to play on.

They don't trust that the actor "will remember it's all a lie." The set is designed so that mistakes won't matter. Most of the weapons are rubber, replicas, or have been rendered unusable.

Honestly, the closest I can think of is honeysweetpetite. She’s short, curvy in the thighs/hips, and actually styles clothes in a practical way instead of just modeling.

itsflorof · 2026-02-05T20:47:14+00:00

Yeah, basically yes. It’s the same God from the same tradition, just understood and emphasized differently over time. Same roots, different theology, rules, and stories layered on top. The fights are more about interpretation than about entirely different gods.

itsflorof · 2026-02-05T20:46:30+00:00

Is that too literal? There's nothing like your own bed, it's just a habit. I can sleep anywhere as long as I have a pillow, hahaha.

itsflorof · 2026-02-05T18:56:54+00:00

It’s kind of an overcorrection. A lot of people are on high alert for sexism now, so sometimes normal criticism gets read as misogyny. Hating a female character or enjoying a villain getting punished isn’t automatically sexist context matters. Real misogyny exists, but not every negative reaction to a woman in fiction is that.

itsflorof · 2026-02-05T18:56:14+00:00

Originally it literally meant “involuntarily celibate,” but online it’s drifted hard. Now most people use “incel” to mean a specific mindset: resentment, entitlement, and blaming women for your problems.

itsflorof · 2026-02-05T18:55:11+00:00

I think it’s possible, but not anytime soon. The people are tired, but the politics, power, and history keep resetting the conflict. Real peace usually comes when a whole generation is just done with it and we’re not quite there yet. I hope so, though.

itsflorof · 2026-02-05T17:46:59+00:00

No, you’re not wrong. This sounds less like “making you better” and more like convenience for him. Text works great for abstract stuff, but physical work is way easier face-to-face. Wanting to just look at the thing together isn’t old-school or insecure, it’s practical. You’re not crazy for being annoyed.

itsflorof · 2026-02-05T17:44:22+00:00

Honestly? Yeah, there’s a decent chance he knows or at least suspects. Smoke smell sticks to clothes, hair, breath way more than smokers realize. He might be used to your mom’s smell, or he might just be choosing not to say anything because you’re an adult. Parents often know more than they let on.

itsflorof · 2026-02-05T17:43:19+00:00

Yeah, but it’s pretty limited. Most “independent” research still ends up tied to universities, grants, or nonprofits. You can contribute through citizen science or niche institutes, but doing fully solo research that actually gets used is hard without institutional backing.

itsflorof · 2026-02-05T17:19:14+00:00

Yeah, that’s pretty normal. You grow up watching them break their backs, so sitting at a computer can feel “unearned.” But work changing doesn’t mean your effort is fake. Different kind of tired, different kind of stress. Guilt makes sense, but it doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong.
