Thought it couldn't get any worse

On the wiki page for the painting Saturn Devouring His Son there is the quote, "But never before and never since, as far as we know, has a major, ambitious cycle of paintings been painted with the intention of keeping the pictures an entirely private affair." But like, how would you even know...

To an extent, I'd just like to see them get taken down a peg. If I wanted to watch evil people continue to win, I'd start watching politics

Note to the person who submitted a work order for their "Ice maker intermittently making noises": You possibly, maybe, might be something that doctors like to call "stupid asf"

Seconds after finding out his first wife is pregnant, he thinks something like "I wouldn't mind having sex with my little sister at all (who is, don't forget, a literal child), but it would mess with the family dynamic too much" Normal people don't have these thoughts, those are actual predator...
