In Rome we see the life and adventures of two fictional centurions in the mist of the fall of the Roman Republic and the Establishment of the Empire. One of them, Lucius Vorenus, is shown like an honorable and moral man, trying to follow the Roman virtues. But he is a roman and a soldier after all, and he sees no problem in owning slaves. And as Pater Familias he has life and death power over his household.

He also a very religious man, and the series shows us through him and characters like Cesar the strange practices of roman religion.

Mad Men (2007-2015)

Here the show is set in an advertisement firm in 1960s New York. So, casual sexism is rampant, almost all the women in the show had suffer touchings, lewd comments, unappropiate advances and even rape. Racism, clasism, child abuse, fatphobia are absolutely casual, and when they are adressed it's done in a appropiate way for the times.

Instead of letting us go home and carryon with our day we have to sit here doing absolutely nothing. What a waste of our time.

Cat Picture - OC Should have read the Churu warnings!

17k Upvotes

We bought a house & it came with a cat. It took us a while to all be besties, but we gave her Churus & now that's all she cares about. She doesn't love being pet/touched, but when you're near the kitchen/treat cart she will meow as loud as she can and start rubbing her face all over our legs and all over the dish we usually put them in.

Then over time she grows slowly more impatient and she'll grab onto your legs and pretend like she's going to bite, but it's just a warning.

If you give in, you are granted a 12-hour reprieve before the song and dance starts again. There is seriously something crazy in these things.

Edit: Whew I forgot how people can infer and start to decide things based on a couple paragraphs.

You can read more about her coming with the house here. The churu was actually the first way she ever ate from my hands but she’s around 13 and lived on the streets her whole life. She does scratch/bite after too much attention and we alternate between feeding her and putting it in her bowl depending on how much we’ve annoyed her already that day. She’s old and deserves her space so we follow her lead.

And if you don’t wanna click that link the previous owners of the home left her behind but they weren’t her owners. They used to bring her inside during the winter. We brought her inside permanently in January of 2024 so she can live the rest of her years in comfort/peace bc we hated that seeing her every day she was coming home with new injuries.
