"Familiars are most common in western European mythology, with some scholars arguing that familiars are only present in the traditions of Great Britain and France. In these areas, three categories of familiars are believed to exist:

familiar spirits manifesting as humans and humanoids, throughout Western Europe
divinatory spirits manifesting as animals, Great Britain and France
malevolent spirits manifesting as animals, only in Greece"

I'm kinda late to this but I think that a spirit animal would be closer to a tutelary spirit then a familiar. A familiar directly helps you, but a tutelary spirit is the guardian of a certain clan, place, person etc.

Plus it's fun to say.

Like, a mirror's always going to work (unless you smash it on something) and doesn't need firmware updates.

A friend had a problem with his rearview mirror. It had this feature that it darkened slightly to compensate for bright light from behind. Except due to some bug it went almost pitch black and couldn't be used until the drivers were updated.

Yeah, they're definitely being fired/getting insulted over imaginary offenses and people being mad, and not, for example, the things those people are mad about.

People arguing in your replies is pretty key to getting your engagement numbers up, which in turn is directly related to how much dark money gets sent your way. No comments, no money, no seat on the grift train. All because of Fartlow.

except it's not, it's just something a white dude made up, and most people figured out pretty quick, but they still named the state Idaho and their license plates still say "The Gem State."

If I were a legislator and all my state had to offer was potatoes and Mormons, I would probably go with fake history, too.

This just reminded me of one of my favorite recent stupid social media things: Those clickbait "article" ads that are like, "Here are 30 things a former burglar says you're doing wrong".

I clicked on one once out of morbid curiosity and it whiplashes between common sense crap like Rogan's thing there (e.g. lock your doors) to utterly insane, unrealistic advice like "don't keep your keys anywhere near your garage, put them somewhere really inconvenient deep inside your house or you're giving them a getaway car", "all of your jewelry should be hidden in secret caches, you should never have a jewelry box in your bathroom/bedroom or wear any of it", or "you should never hire anyone to come do work inside of your house, they either have fake uniforms or even the real ones are all just scouts for criminals".

All of them were in that vein of living in constant fear of a break-in, so you need to make your life maximally inconvenient to yourself and do things that aren't actually going to stop a determined burglar. You shouldn't keep anything in a location where you might actually want to use or enjoy it because that's the first place they'll look! Don't wait for it to get stolen to deprive yourself of it!

Well, I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure that would include a bunch of Israelis. I mean, I'm pretty sure it was Israelis who got rid of Netanyahu after getting sick of his bullshit. I'm not sure if his replacement is any better, but that's always the way. Nobody is going to seriously get me to believe that Israel is the only country in the entire world without corrupt, poo poo-for-brains politicians. Especially not someone who thinks being called "Eve Fartlow" on Twitter is the exact same level of suffering as the pogroms.
