i just don’t see why anyone that’s not bluesky would ever want to run a bluesky instance. you’re just paying money to assume risk for bluesky

bluesky is a lovely idea and i hope it dies on the vine and jack goes and crawls into some crypto hole and stays there

my favorite thing about caligula is that his name means little boot, because that’s what soldiers called him when he paraded around in miniature armor as a child

Well his name was Gaius Julius Cæsar Augustus Germanicus (Augustus coming after ascension). Even given the frequently insulting nature of Roman cognomens (Cæsar is among other things thought to be mocking the family tendency towards baldness, Cicero means chickpea, Brutus means "stupid-looking", Pulcher "pretty boy", etc) Caligula fuckin hated it and its usage in histories is another posthumous "gently caress you"

And fun fact: the Horace that started this thread of conversation deserted the battle at Phillipi and returned to Rome under amnesty. (His cognomen, Flaccus, well, I'm sure you can guess what it means but I'm not quite sure the context is the same. Also a patrician, which is surprisingly less common than you might think when it comes to portrayals of the period.)

diss culture run amok!

catallus really had a way with words :allears:

my partner and i have been (slowly) teaching ourselves latin, but reading this is well beyond my grasp, so i had look it up, and funnily enough, she already had it open in a browser tab by total coincidence

also fun: out of curiosity i wanted to see what google translate would make of it and it translates the opening line as “I will follow you and I will visit you” lmao

Google Translate doesn't work with Latin. Like yes, they offer it as an option, but the output is so bad that it's really only good for getting an idea of what the text doesn't say.

yeah, it’s not even useful for translating individual words, i use it for lols exclusively

i was taken by that suggestion but then realized it just devalues the single ball. more balls will paradoxically make it more boring because any single ball is meaningless

what if the additional balls only count for half a point

my solution for golf is that as it stands, its all offense and no defense. I propose that when you're first teeing off or whatever for those long shots, the other dudes are along the green with shotguns and can shoot at your ball like it was a clay bird.

instead of playing through the course linearly, each hole our unlocks two other random holes, first to hole out each captures it and the winner is whoever captures the most holes

Do you ship discreetly?

The regular way we ship is in a black plastic bag with the JO logo on it. On the mailing label it says JOpants on the return address.

Inside the bag, the pants have an internal label that says JOpants. There will also be a packing slip letter with the product(s) you ordered on it.

Most people don't associate the letters JO with jacking off, but if this is still not discreet enough for you, please write the word "discreet" in the special order instructions at the bottom of your shopping cart before checkout or just email us. We will make it completely discreet with no JO letters anywhere, except for the internal label on the pants.
