I think the truth is women do like muscly men, but men tend to overestimate how muscly. Like swimmer physique is attractive, hollywood batman physique is male power fantasy; or something

There's really no good reason to believe that the devourer is Chronos/Saturn, that the devouree is even a child, or that either body is male.
There is a good reason to think it's a child - it looks like one. Just not necessarily the child of the devourer

Is American cheese any good? TV shows seem to imply it isn't but it seems weird you wouldn't have good cheese by now
Edit: I meant cheese made/available in the US, rather than the type called "American cheese". But thanks for the answers

I'm not really involved in US politics, but how do you change the voting system away from FPTP while still voting for Biden, who (as far as I'm aware) supports FPTP?

Worth remembering that it wasn't always a free-for-all before minimum wage was introduced. I think there was a mechanism to set minimum wages by industry, which got dismantled by thatcher (not sure on specifics but pretty sure there was some mechanism to set minimum wages).

A plan for a new mass rapid transit system that involves some underground tunnels under Bristol is needed, is achievable and work towards creating it should continue - that’s the conclusion of a report written by senior transport chiefs at the West of England Combined Authority. The report - a draft of which has been seen by Bristol Live - is to be submitted to a key meeting of WECA on October 6, and makes it clear that while it will be expensive and cause a lot of upheaval, Bristol, Bath and the wider West of England needs it and it ‘can be delivered’.

Ofcom has found that a GB News show presented by two Tory MPs breached its impartiality rules. However, the regulator only scalded the far-right media outlet over it not airing differing views. Ofcom failed to rule against the fact that two sitting Conservative MPs were posing as journalists interviewing a sitting Conservative minister. The problem here isn’t the fact GB News is a screeching, far-right foghorn amplifier. At the Canary we’ve never claimed to be impartial. They and we are private entities, and that’s our right in the UK. However, while GB News can present its programming with whatever ideological stand point it wishes, it should not be allowing sitting politicians to do it. The UK’s democracy is already a shambolic farce, which has become increasingly worse in recent years. Allowing sitting MPs to present news programmes is the thin end of the wedge. Ofcom, with all the might of a drain fly, is failing to act quickly enough to stop this practice before even more damage is done.
