I made a few adjustments: “This piece, consisting of a standpipe connection and highrise pack, really makes me think about the critical infrastructure needed to maintain a stable and safe building. I think the artist intended it as a statement on the intersection of infrastructure and safety regulations in our society.”

If you mean what I think you mean, then you’re being down voted because your phrasing isn’t clear. I interpreted your comment to mean that removal any of dark skinned characters would often make the depiction less historically accurate, due to their historical presence as a minority of some sort across much of medieval Europe. If so, I agree that is amusingly ironic.

They are characterizing patterns seen across various medieval inspired fictional works, ranging from historic but not really, to full on fantasy inspired by medieval Europe.

Took me a minute, but it’s comparing the story to observed hermit crab behavior.

Neither, in this case it’s an accurate summary of one of the results, which happens to be a shitpost on Quara. See, LLM search results can work as intended and authoritatively repeat search results with zero critical analysis!

In English, you can often just verb a noun, and the meaning is still clear.

I would argue that doesn’t qualify as trivial.

For me it’s having a very distinct feature of some sort. I don’t know why, but if she is very short or tall, or has a prosthetic limb or weirdly shaped boobs, or a nose like a racing yacht’s keel, it just really does something for me. Like otherwise I generally find most of the same features as many people do attractive, but add that standout trait and whoah, be still, my heart.

Jesus: I came not to enforce the law, but to fulfill it.

Paul: Well, what he AKSTUALLY meant is blah blah ceremonial law vs moral law blah blah sex is yucky, I mean sinful!

I mean, it’s more complex than that, but Paul wrote like he understood the necessity of reproduction, but didn’t really comprehend what sexual urges actually feel like. He also wrote such long rambling sentences that he makes Charles Dickens look concise and clear.

A valid interpretation of ambiguous photo. I suppose it’s impossible to know for sure.

On a closer look, the small hand is the guy behind him holding a phone to his ear

Fine, I’ll paraphrase it for you then. “Towels are really useful when you are traveling the galaxy LOL.”

“A towel, [The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy] says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapors; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-boggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can’t see it, it can’t see you); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.” ― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

As a Millennial, I’m now too old to tell the difference.

Sam: “Go on. Now! Throw it in the fire! What are you waiting for? Just let it go!”

Elrond: “I just want to tell you both good luck. We’re all counting on you.”

They won’t be expecting it, so that’s exactly what I plan to do. And don’t call me Shirley.

Domestic worker isn’t exactly a euphemism here. It refers to the type of work done, ie someone who does house-work. Slave refers the situation the work is done under.

I completely agree that the word slave accurately describes their situation and is conspicuously absent from the article.

This is it exactly. “I am at home” describes your location. “I am home” describes your current state.
