Just like internalized misogyny is very much a thing in women, internalized racism is a thing, too. It's sort of like a poor person aligning themselves with the rich against their own interests, if that's easier for you to visualize. All that to say, I agree with the other commenter— that cop is blue.

He wrote this for himself in his Meditations. So he wasn't telling this to anyone but himself, therefore not 'gaslighting' anyone. Beyond being a roman emperor, he is also a pretty respected philosopher, and that generally doesn't happen without having something interesting to say on the subject.

Following up with an "You're right, I don't know you"

It looks like fabric scraps roughly stuffed with fluff. With a little help/guidance, a five year old could definitely make this. Working with needle and thread isn't some archaic lost knowledge, lol. I've found that if we have faith in them and let them try stuff, kids can do all kinds of stuff we don't think they should be able to.

Have been? It's already done for the most part. AFAIK, there's only one, maybe two companies still making phones with headphone jacks. Drives me up a wall, I fucking hate it.

Is it just me, or does she look GINORMOUS compared to that child? He looks at least 3, but is the relative size of my 5 month old?

Dammit, this is why you always secure your lifeline before entering the Rabbit Hole

Yes. Then later, throwing up hair balls together will be a bonding experience.

I would click through some of the examples in your wiki link and try and notice a few things that most of the antebellum houses have in common. They're usually defined by the their blocky shape and the large columns in front; very Greek-revival.

This house, however, has completely different details and layout. Beyond the fact that it's missing the telltale columns and imposing silhouette, the design is more intricate and a touch more delicate. The Victorians loved fine details, and were very 'extra' in that way.

But honestly, all of that aside, the biggest tell is just the date it was built. A different style was simply the fashion then compared to earlier in the century. Just like how mid century modern was it's own thing outside of WW2 era suburban homes, though they're similar.

I mean, yeah. It's just a different style altogether. Parlors and room number has nothing to do with what the house looks like and the architectural era it belongs to.

It would be more accurate to say that it smacks of the gilded age (a time of the greatest wealth disparity in our history) than of the civil war era, even though that still isn't quite right, as the Victorian era is its own thing outside of the Edwardian era.

The US has had more than one age of servitude beyond just the obvious slavery era, sorry to say. It's kind of our brand.
