      The Hapsburgs, a Spanish noble house that held the Spanish throne, made a practice of the inverse of this with uncle-niece marriages to keep power in the house. This was the closest marriage the church would allow. The generations of inbreeding produced the distinct “Hapsburg jaw”. Eventually that led to the poor, ugly, absurdly inbred Charles II of Spain. And remember, those portraits are official portraits that paint him in the best possible light. He died without an heir, ending the Hapsburg monarchy.

        It has always been kind of funny to me that the painters of these official portraits had to at some point get directions along the lines of “I want it to be flattering but clearly me” for some of the portraits they had to do of what had to be pretty bridge troll ugly looking people.

        Talk about going home that night after getting the assignment, having a stiff drink, and wondering how the hell you are going to get out of this one.

      Welcome to NA, SMS is still the norm despite there being objectively better alternatives like WhatsApp

        Bro over here said WhatsApp is good, lmao. Add all the filth available in other countries, plus the Meta AI and the UPI integration we have over here in India - it’s a privacy nightmare, a locked monopolistic ecosystem, a data farm and a huge attack vector for insecure system.

    I did this once… with my boss.

    I was trying to respond to the gf and my fat fingers hit the wrong name in my texts. Didn’t notice until afterwards, and by then it was too late. I was never more glad to have someone pretend a thing had never happened.

      I was tripping and accidentally sent the most insane shit to my coworker instead of my wife. We didn’t like each other anyway. That was only a couple weeks ago so still kinda waiting for the shoe to drop.
