  • It’s a story about Phryne, she was courtesan in Greece born around 370 BC, an actual person. We don’t know much about her life other than she was self made and one of the richest women in Greece at the time. She also happened to be very famous.

    This version of the story is likely a dramatization after the fact. Where she is brought on trial for impiety by a man known for frivolous trials. She bares herself and beauty is seen as a blessing of the gods and is acquitted. May or may not have actually happened but it’s a good story.

    We do know that there was a trial, there is an account by the man who spoke in her defense, Hypereides. We also know she was beautiful and popular enough that she was able to charge very high prices even in old age.

    She is also said to be the model for the original Aphrodite of Knidos statue. Which was destroyed but there were of boat load of copies made in antiquity.




  • If you can talk your way out of it in person the account isn’t frozen, at most it is flagged as potential fraud. Most bank fraud departments have first line fraud detection analysts in a call center where if the system detects fraud that department are the only ones who can remove the account freeze and if they get even a whiff of suspicion from a “customer” calling in to get the freeze removed it gets pushed up the line to specialists whose whole job is to do deep investigations into accounts to catch potential fraudsters. The first line might have you get in person to a branch for ID verification but the fraud department are usually still the ones who have to manually remove the freeze once it hits the work queue.

    Putting an account negative like that on purpose is an easy ticket to the bank being audited. Hell doing it on accident would probably get the bank audited.

    Actually, like most sitcoms of that era, it was filmed in front of a live studio audience, it’s not a canned laugh track. The reason it lasts just long enough to overlap audio is because the actors wait for the laughter to die down before continuing. The whole point of the laughter isn’t to make it funnier to the viewer, it’s so the actors can see how the jokes land and tweak their performance, it’s constant feedback. It’s done for the same reason comedy has an audience even when it is a filmed special.

    This is like the backbone of a lot of hip-hop and EDM. It’s been a major thing for a while. You are probably just noticing the the full range of songs that do it because they are current, over time the bad and average ones will be weeded out and fall from memory and the good transcendent ones will be remembered just in time for you to notice it with a new decade of music.




  • Yeah it doesn’t actually matter which way you take it, just that it is consistent. Won’t actually help your liver more either way since the stuff that can harm your liver is actually one of metabolites of the medication made when your liver turns it into usable estrogen not the medication itself.

    People worried about their liver should be doing patches or injections if possible.

    Maybe cause most archetypical examples people can think of are going to be from Hollywood and that pushes a muscled bodytype but the reason women are attracted to them is every reason but the bodytype. Look at the descriptors again, they are all based around the vibe.

    This whole thread is dudes missing the forest for the trees.
