ehhhh this story's pretty complicated. As a Senator Cicero helped develop something called the Senatus Consultum Ultimum, a kind of one-off act of dictatorship. As Consul he used it a bunch to have rivals and troublemakers executed without trial, despite all the flowery things he wrote about the Republic and its just ways.

Indeed also the republic survived until at least Diocletian in the late 200s.

I just want to say I appreciate the Randy Savage Spencer's Gifts reference because Spencer's Gifts is also dead.

Also Rob Zombie isn't a trend anymore and neither is Hot Topic so that went deep on many levels.






That being said I miss Randy Savage and I miss walking into Spencer's Gifts and never buying anything.

I feel like there's a fine line between increasing representation in media and token character pandering. Why does every single new show have to have a deaf person, a gay person, people of various religions and linguistic backgrounds, etc? Since every show has basically the same lineup of human "archetypes", it feels so much less natural and more like they are checking off boxes for things they need to include to not be attacked on social media.

From a historical perspective these titles meant a great deal. This Tarquin king enjoyed a title that even Jupiter was never entitled. The greatest title that was bestowed upon Jupiter as it was known to history was that of "Optimus Maximus"; meaning "Most good" and "Most high"

If you referred to this individual as anything other than his preferred nomenclature you'd almost certainly be risking summary execution

Should have been Tarquinius Supertruck, sounds like

I was in a Spencer's Gifts like three months ago.

If you were to replace the Rick and Morty shirts with Invader Zim, it was like stepping into a time capsule.

Was in one last week. That part had somehow expanded with bdsm gear and sex toys. Like 1/4 of the store.

I'm very amused that an incredibly lovely meme sparked such a fascinating discussion over Roman conduct

Yeah, theres one in my mall, and i was really surprised a year ago to see that it was basically 1/2 nerd stuff and 1/2 straight up dildos and floggers. Theres not even a curtain, and i didnt see any "over 18" signage.

Comparing it to the Spencers of the mid 90s was concrete evidence that the glut of porn on the internet has really desensitized people.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.
