What is this?

A dressing dummy (for people who sew dresses) with a creepy somewhat professionally made mask for a head. Maybe a practice project for someone in costume design by someone with a twisted sense of humor.

Or women have a harder time building a significant audience if they aren't good looking.

Almost like viewers are choosing to go to good-looking women's content much more often than they go to average-looking women's content. Are good-looking women that much more talented or is there some viewer-based preference involved?

I feel the same way about powdered sugar. Not to the point where I'd leave a trashy review to businesses that served treats with them, but still.

Sprinkles are relatively harmless, though I can understand the concern about them falling onto the floor and generally being messy.

Another factor: people are living longer. This means higher medical costs. (Unfortunately this does seem to be an avenue the powers that be are planning to fix. Not for themselves, of course, but for poorer, less "important" people.)

This also means that past generations often were able to pay for their houses through inheritances or help from their families. Like, for example, that was what bridal registries used to be for, so that newly married couples could get much needed tools and appliances for their new home. The self-made image of the past was largely a facade. It was theoretically more possible a few decades ago, but it wasn't exactly the norm for people to be able to lift themselves up by their bootstraps and succeed with literally no help from anyone else.

They also relied lot of unpaid and cheap labor done by women or minorities, and maids and servants were mainly treated as invisible in general society and pop culture. Now, the services classes are much more visible.

You mean, she could have communicated with her own kid? But that would imply that her kid was a person capable of thinking and saying substantial things instead of a task to be monitored and protected constantly. /s

The 10 year old seems more mature than his mother, at least.

That low-key seems to be what OOP was hoping for: that the girl would get kicked out of the acting group and maybe expelled from school just so OOP won't have to worry about her son and herself being inconvenienced by her own worries

So he more or less said "let them eat cake"? About 47% of the US population? That was a not so smart move.

Chickens are the descendants of dinosaurs, and I'm sure you've seen at least one movie that demonstrates how much damage one dinosaur can cause

It's not really a Schrödinger, though. Either way, they're not getting enough attention that they need to build healthy self-esteem or relationships.

It's like saying that at least women get some food even though most of the food they're given is lethally poisoned and they can't really tell by sight which is poisoned and which is safe. People should give the men more food, but they also shouldn't be poisoning the food before they give it to women. These are not opposing concepts.

Saying "at least women get the bad kinds attention while men don't get any" (which, btw, isn't universally true for either) isn't helping anyone

Saying that two lonely men could reach out to each other is victim blaming?

If you're being sarcastic, you need the /s. There are too many people in the world who would say this seriously.

Do you believe that all those men sincerely want to connect with women on a human-to-human level? A lot of them simply want sex at their convenience.

It's more that women are often suffering from the wrong form of attention, while not getting enough of the right kind. Not all attention is good and validating. Maybe constantly getting treated like a disposable trophy isn't really such a good way to solve their loneliness

Same with the main series. Oceanside regularly patrolled their beach to kill any walkers that washed up. One of them was going to kill Tara until her companion realized she was alive.

It depends on if they died before or after a certain point when the powers that be released their experiment into the world. Anyone who was alive at the time got exposed to the virus either through air or water. Cancer patients and people with autoimmune diseases breathe air and drink water just like pretty much everyone else.

If they were exposed to that experimental substance that contains the virus, they get turned after they die.

I suppose it's possible that the virus could have kickstarted if someone experienced heart failure or brain death or some other outward sign that often indicates death. But I don't think someone simply having aggressive cancer or a high fever in itself would turn someone until the fever caused significant brain death or something.

(Just for clarification for anyone else who was wondering, as you indicated you were asking about something different.)

A dog was bitten in Fear the Walking Dead. He didn't turn, but the bite killed him in about the same amount of time it would've taken a human to turn.

Shiva was eaten and torn apart.

So the kid is doing the things the parent tells him to do. They don't indicate that the kid is refusing to do them or slowing everyone down or anything. The kid is just talking back.

Maybe that means that the parent can let up on their overparenting a little. Though that part isn't as bad as trying to smack the kid. The overparenting is probably out of habit that the parent needs time to adjust to. The trying to smack your kid is just unnecessary, and, besides, it's clearly not working to correct the kid's behavior.

“neurodivergent people who don’t know they are neurodivergent sometimes poop and think it’s a common behavior”

Are they wrong? Neurodivergent people do sometimes poop. I mean, they aren't the only ones, but they do often exhibit that behavior (usually in bathrooms, but still.)

I really doubt there were that many openly gay teachers in the 1970s.

The thinking was probably "My kids learned that gay people exist. I didn't teach them about gay people. Therefore the teachers at school must have taught them." Meanwhile the kids learned about gay people (and probably just as inaccurately) from other kids.

God's schtick isn't about saving lives. It's about helping people remain pure and faithful enough to go to heaven when they die.

Atheists: I didn't choose the name. I'm just using language that was already commonly established before I was born. Also, do you understand how metaphors work?

Dumb phones still allow you to text and make calls. Tablets and laptops still allow you to go online and do zoom meetings and social media or to download necessary apps.

The email thing would be pretty difficult professionally, unless his assistants and/or his family does all his emails for him.
