    I haven't read much about the theological dimensions of the later stages of the Roman Empire. But I would contest the premise of the question. Instead I would argue that the Western Roman Empire more or less continued until the death of Theoderic the Great in 526. Yes, in name he wasn't Roman Emperor, but only because of the might of the Eastern Roman Empire, whose regents would have been irate if he called himself that. But he was considered to be a Roman Emperor by many Roman citizens of the time, not only largely accepting him, but in many cases even celebrating him for trying to restore old buildings, roads, institutions etc.

    Hitler was pretty animal friendly and, for all we know, in a fairly loving relationship with Eva Braun. Pretty much no real person is evil to everyone, always and in any situation. That doesn't make Hitler any less of a bad person. I would even argue it makes him more evil: He knows how to treat living beings with respect, he just thinks a majority of humanity isn't worth his respect.

    Why do you think is it that seemingly we as a community all get basically the same starter pack when trying out feminine clothing for the first time? Like I feel everyone gets a black and/or pink skater skirt, black-and-white thigh highs, an oversized shirt with print, a black crop top, a cropped hoodie and either black arm sleeves or mesh sleeves. How did that start and why do so many start out like that?

    Edit: Not that I think it's bad or anything. It's fine to have a go-to and I even think these starter pack items look really cute. I still like wearing them. It's just kind of odd to me.

     

    Me and my partner adopted 2 cats about a month ago. They are very cute and friendly most of the time and we love them very much. And it seems like they like it here too. But sometimes they tend to fight out of what seems like jealousy. Like if they both want to be pet at the same time, I try to do that. But often one of them hits the other one in these situations so they go away. I would like to show my cats that they don't have to fight each other for attention, but I don't know how to do that. Anyone have any tips for that?

     

    I have neither time, resources nor know-how to like go all out on data privacy. But I try doing things like using Proton for Mail, browsing with DuckDuckGo or Ecosia, messaging on Signal instead of WhatsApp, etc.

    But I'm having a hard time responding to people who say "why do you do that, it's completely pointless since companies like Google have all of our data anyways unless we go all out, and nobody has time for all the effort that takes".
