Ironically, even at their height Sparta was average in terms of their military record despite neglecting every other part of their (lovely, brutal, slave owning) culture in favour of pursuing military prowess.

I thought about getting a marble statue tattoo but maybe that's a bad idea. Hell, I have wanted to get a tattoo for some time but one of my main concerns is how on earth do you pick a symbol that doesn't potentially change its meaning to something bad eventually?

Just get this so everyone knows you like gummy bears and rear end  Also you should get tatts of things you like and not worry about if they become some dumbfuck symbol down the track. It doesn't retroactively make your tattoo bad

I just get a bunch of amtrad flash because it looks cool. Also have a giant baphoment on my arm because dualism, 19th century orientalism, and the slander levelled at the Knights Templar are "badass"

It is kind of annoying that the swastika is basically ruined forever, though. It's a geometrically pleasing shape and one that holds a lot of cultural significance for entire groups of people who had absolutely nothing to do with nazis, even!

It is both tragic and hilarious that a bunch of lead-poisoned degenerates from 2000 years ago are basically indistinguishable from modern society.

Yeah, literally every culture had their own variation of the swastika because its a very basic symbol of the sun

I have a four leaf clover on my arm. It looks similar to but is not the exact same as a common tattoo used by members of the Aryan Brotherhood (they use three leaf clovers). I’ve been told by guys who’ve been in prison that this tattoo would be a problem for me. Now luckily I don’t intend to go to prison or otherwise hang out with gang members afaik but I probably would not get the tattoo again if I had a redo.

hitman is still good and cool but sometimes it's a bit of a let down when they build these massive set pieces and complicated scenarios and stuff, but the simulation doesn't account for even main-story intended events. Biggest example is this racetrack level, big arena and the two targets are a father and daughter, the daughter is a racer actively racing. You can sabotage her car, or just shoot her on the track, or place a remote explosive mine on her car and explode it. The problem is, the game doesn't care. You blow her up, shoot her up, whatever, she dies, and the race goes on, the ceremonies go one without mention of her death, the medical staff seem to still be expecting a check-up after, the pit-crew staff who would likely be held responsible are a bit freaked it for a second but then go back to work. The dad doesn't seem to care or notice, doesn't skip a beat in his routine. Why are they even related in the story on this map since they don't interact or need any blood contrivance to have them both there.

My wife has multiple tattoos for a musician who has been canceled, one tattoo for a musician who is on thin ice, and ALMOST got another tattoo for a different canceled musician Moral: If you're in show business don't let my wife get a tattoo of you

They did say that the two have a very strained relationship (one guy at the lounge claims that the daughter secretly worked at her dad's company for years and the latter only found out during the meeting appointing her at CFO...and instead of being shocked or proud, he simply told her "don't screw this up"). You can also trick Robert into killing Sierra himself. While that video cuts him off right before he says it, he pretty much immediately gets over his shock by assuming (technically correctly) that Providence is getting back at him for defecting and promising to be loyal from now on. So he's basically just a sociopath. Just like Musk, whom he's clearly based on.
