It still weirds me out a bit that when my grandmother was young this was a real, serious take the majority of people had.

I’ve always thought that Terry Pratchett said it best:
No-one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away, until the clock wound up winds down, until the wine they made has finished its ferment, until the crop they planted is harvested. The span of someone’s life is only the core of their actual existence.

T. rex was unfeathered (or at least the adults were) but other members of the Tyrannosaurus family were partly or fully feathered. Yutyrannus, for example.
I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do because I notice it always coincides with their own desires.

Actually, a fair number of those that hold power are high on their own supply. They’re just also smart enough to use that supply to manipulate others too.
Meh, the original Cinderella stories were pretty dark too. And honestly I think in a creepier way. Nothing like a saccharine story where the sweet singing birds peck out the eyes of the stepmother and her daughters.
That’s because most companies cut the patterns out in bulk, so given how fabric wiggles you end up with an inch or two of variance across the group.
Unfortunately that just makes them shoot the women instead as punishment for being ‘whores’.
When you think about it that way it’s no surprise they worship the Orange Pedo as the Second Coming of Christ. You’ve been Living A Wicked Life and have Gone Down The Path Of Sin, and so you deserve to be smited by the divine! But the divine never answered his prayers; you and all those other icky upstart ‘sinful people’ kept having a nice job and everything that he felt should be taken from you.
And then Trump comes along and grants his prayers with deportations and shootings and everything else he thinks you deserve. Is it any wonder he’s willing to suffer himself, as long as you ‘get what’s coming to you’?
Yeah, my grandmother had it beaten out of her too.
