Also even in several passages in De Bello Gallico, Caesar acknowledges Titus Labienus is a sadistic martinet. Patriot, yes. Unafraid to speak truth to power, yes. Legitimately clinically sadist, getting in various scrapes because he brutalized cadets, also yes. Maybe Patton's delusion of having been...

It honestly tweedles my dee when I hear other people saying Cicero rocks. He often gets painted with the same shitbrush as the entire legal profession because countless shysters and crooked judges have plaster busts of Cicero installed in their workspaces. It's almost a cliche in movies featuring al...

Nebraska man pulled over while driving car with giant Watusi bull named Howdy Doody riding shotgun Look, I know it's not safe, but apart from the calling the cops part, this is the kind of news story I can get behind. https://globalnews.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Howdy-doody.webp?w=2048 (apparen...

yeah watching this going on while an old lady dithered and fumbled with her debit card was somewhat entertaining and a bit of a relief, since the old lady in question was not me, for a change

This is me, down to the square chin and puffy raw spud face with the clenched gash in it for lips

Or what they looked like 350 million years ago.

HOT AMPHIBIOUS ONIICHAN LAYING EGGS IN ONE POND, AND RUNNING OVER LAND TO CATCH MOSQUITOES IN A TOTALLY DIFFERENT POND

7 Days to Die raid on the construction site, but with cute

Like I said before, my hometown burning down was just a preview of the megafires to come. Not California, but relevant: Lahaina, Maui has burned to the ground. https://i.imgur.com/YMoWtR8.png One of my favorite places to grab a bite when I was on Maui. Beautiful and historic town with a wonderful m...

The minis world does need more table-commanding dominatrices, especially ones with colour gradients that are impossible to get right unless you're an airbrush shugenja

Honestly, I don't think Schwarzenegger would be any worse a president than Biden is. And Biden winning as a Republican would be pretty fucking awesome news. It still points to a larger question, "why are we tapping Hollywood and/or WWE for our future leaders? Aren't these basically incubators ...

On another game server for a shitty clone of D2/D3: <Fuck You GGG>: blizz is like that gf that cheats on you 38 times but u still pick up when she calls <Basketball_Jones>: [Grinding Gear Games] is the drunken bf that beats you up every time you do literally anything outside of the kitchen, and thro...

A lot of this kind of shit is genuinely unintentionally exploitive, but I would not put it past any corp to seed in an overtuned reward or two on purpose, to feed the FOMO rush of early birds. As soon as there's enough buzz, the nerf patch comes along and removes or nerfs the honeypot because other ...

2023: man all the box office buster leading roles all look virtually the same
2025: man all the box office buster leading roles are all literally Harrison Ford and Halle Berry reskins

The legal profession owes Muskie big time for what could amount to a litigators' renaissance.

People have pointed out before how if you go looking for news online, all of the worst sites in existence are free to read while places like New York Times, Washington Post, etc are all paywalled. And while there's a lot to criticize about the big media outlets, especially in how they choose and fr...

Ah yes, the Bohr model of the atom failed to take into account the phenomenon of electron catsnek

On July 4, 2005, after the successful rendezvous and deployment of the Deep Impact comet probe and its impactor with comet Tempel-1, the rocket surgeons at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory got a congratulatory surprise concert from none other than Bill Halley & the Comets, who were on a nostalgi...
