First off, thanks for the quick reply and for taking the time out of your day, I guess, but after reading it, it feels like you didn't actually intend to say anything useful—just kind of aimed to dismiss my post and take a cheap shot at me.
So, yeah, it would be pretty cool if you could just answer the actual question.
Plus, your tone is incredibly sarcastic, which seems to fly right in the face of what the admins recommended, and honestly, it just feels like you're trying to belittle me.
And that suggestion of mine to send her to DMs? Why?
I don't see the point, really. I doubt she’d be interested in talking to me professionally anyway, since pathology and forensics are my field—aside from construction, obviously.
Given how your protégé keeps complaining that nobody understands her—from what I can tell by the threads, anyone with half a brain could figure out she already knows what she’s talking about. It's just pure ego, I suppose.
It’s pretty obvious you’re playing the Good Samaritan here, acting all high and mighty, but I should probably remind you:
A blade has two edges, and I noticed I'm not the only one asking questions that test her comprehension... I wish her the best, truly; hopefully she finds her way, if not wisdom, then at least some luck.
Whether this whole thing is serious or just her being ridiculous by failing to grasp the saying:
here are the facts:
quoting her:
"If they have no bread, let them eat cake"
her response was basically—well, that back then, they were baking cakes at the same price. 🙄
The fact that people didn't have money isn't the point, right?
And here’s a little more "culture" from Florence:
"Josef Fritzl didn't commit a crime"
It seems to me we've known each other long enough for you both to jump to conclusions immediately, and it's pretty clear you're both just clashing because of some sort of vendetta and condescension.
Why does that premise matter?
As for your claim that I'm experiencing some kind of fixation or projection... no, that's just not true. What we're seeing is just a lack of understanding and basic knowledge from your starter, combined with inhibitions against rational thought, an inability to handle different viewpoints, and just total dadaism.
There's more:
Look, I’ve always been an animal lover—really, I can't stand seeing them disrespected—and honestly, it seems like people are missing the point about what "culture" actually means. It's something you're supposed to find within yourself, which was kind of the whole idea behind the question.
Sorry, but that's just how it is. It rubbed me the wrong way seeing her make those kinds of comparisons, whether they're accurate or not.
I guess I'll just prove my point over at the philosophy department, since it feels pretty out of line to act all condescending and arrogant here.
Nothing personal, really. I wasn't trying to take shots at such a harmonious trio, but maybe it's time we look at who's actually steering the ship in the humanities... I mean, even from a plane, it's pretty obvious when a tree isn't bearing any fruit.

Thanks for your time, ma'am—consider this a polite little bow.

Florence said:It's super obvious you're just being biased, especially with the whole "eat cake" thing. Did you even know that back in the day, bakers in New York were legally required to sell cakes at the price of bread during shortages? Probably not, because if you did, your perspective wouldn't be so narrow.

And here’s a little more "culture" from Florence:
"Josef Fritzl didn't commit a crime"
Florence said:He's definitely just an unfortunate man built on shaky foundations. Unhappy people can't spread happiness...
Well, Fritzl got sentenced—to life in a mental facility. Do you even realize what that means? Personally, I think that's way worse than the death penalty.
