Thanks for the heads up. Fortunately it's only a minor spoiler, and it's nested quite deep in the overall thread.

It's interesting because the spoiler displayed properly on my phone, so I wouldn't have known if you'd not said. It's probably unsurprising that my app uses the Reddit style spoiler, given that it's Sync for Lemmy that I'm using. I've been meaning to switch to a different one (preferably one of the FOSS ones), but inertia is a bitch.

I loved playing as a Malkavian. My late best friend said that it might not be best to play as a Malkavian for one's first run at the game because of all the weird shit, and I replied "oh, now that's sealed it for me, I've got to pick Malkavian".

I like how a perceptive player of a Malkavian can pick up so many hints and clues. Like how >!spoiler [minor spoiler][your character refers to Therese and Jeanette as "daughters of Janus", or how the thinblood Malkavian near the start of the game says "don't open it"]!<

Edit: formatting

My cat would sometimes act as if she was anxious for our wellbeing while we were eating (this started after she surreptitiously tasted some food that she clearly did not enjoy the taste of.)

A few years ago, I read about how Mary Molony was an Irish Suffragette who disrupted a speech Winston Churchill was giving in Dundee by ringing a bell every time he tried to speak. She wanted him to apologise for remarks he had made about the women's suffrage movement.

I remember when I read this, it reeked of something awesome that you find online that's actually false (the story was shared on social media via a captioned photo with no sources), so I went digging for a proper source to check. I found some newspaper articles from 1908 and I learned that this event did happen, but also that people fucking hated Molony for this. There was a lot of "see, this is why everyone hates the Suffragettes". (Sorry for saying this and then not sourcing)

It makes sense that people would be salty - Churchill was an asshole, but also a great orator, so I can see why one might be disappointed in missing the chance to see him speak, but I was shocked at the level of vitriol aimed at Molony and other Suffragettes from the time. Until this I hadn't realised just how unpopular they were at the time. It's drastically changed my perspective on protests and public perception.

Pro tip, next time you shave your legs, change your bedsheets. Freshly shaved legs on fresh bedsheets feels divine. Also, make sure you exfoliate

If you're confused because you came here from /All, then for context, this community is for Vampire: The Masquerade (VTM), a tabletop roleplaying game (TTRPG). In the background lore of the game, Cain was the first vampire, and all vampires in the game are descended from him.
