Very true. One of my pet peeves is reading about female characters who, unlike other women, don't wear makeup and spend all their time doing nerdy hobbies only and never do anything at all to take care of their appearance because that's a waste of time... But their hair is always shiny and bouncy and they are fit and their skin is smoooooth and their boobs are perky (of course they are!) and, most importantly, they always fall for the main character for absolutely no good reason.

I loved it at the time too! But you're the first other person I've seen praise it.

I've gone back to replay it a couple of times and, yep, still love it. The story has its flaws but that's final fantasy for you.

Jim Carrey anytime he does comedy.

This is less of a specific good and more of a trend, but middle class people are more likely to buy bulk goods. Lower classes often don't have the means to do so (space to store it and money to buy it, or access to places that sell in bulk) and higher classes simply don't need to, or they buy luxury items that wouldn't be sold in bulk.

Similarly, middle class people are less likely to shop at places with high markups, such as convenience stores.

The times when people shop would also see trends, with lower and higher classes doing more shopping midday on a Tuesday and middle class working people with average 9-5 office jobs being unable to do so.

Yes, you are the odd one. Ads are literally designed to be difficult to ignore.

Therapy is also supposed to be confidential but exceptions are made when someone is in danger.

There's another possible scenario of a child making the confession because they're feeling guilty about the sexual act despite being a victim.

The Realm of the Elderlings series. All books. Most characters.

I'm still addicted to the books though.

I, too, would like to know. Asking for Bad Jojo.

Certain forms of laughter is from Satan? I guess feeling joy is a sin now? That has to have deep psychological effects on people. How traumatizing.
