That’s why it’s funny that his Blues album is actually good.

God, imagine if you got hit by a 125mm HEAT round in the face without any ERA to protect you. Good call!

Ah, right, we are ALL Britons!

Some weird fellows at the edge of the world, they’ll never amount to anything

Bloody Romans!

Explanation: Romans, like followers of many ancient polytheistic faiths, were far from averse from taking in new gods into their pantheon. While there was certainly precedence and extra gravity afforded to proper, ROMAN gods, the worship of foreign cult gods, such as Isis from Egypt, or Mithra from Persia, was common, acceptable, and widespread alongside worship of indigenous gods.

The Romans furthermore regarded most foreign gods as simply their own gods under different names - though DOUBTLESSLY Mars has a special love for Rome, the god of war probably does not care overmuch if he’s worshipped under some foreign, barbarian name, or in a good, Latin tongue! As such, Romans generally found little reason to interfere with the faiths of those they conquered, who they regarded as following essentially the same basic thinking and theology, just in strange ways.

Christians ended up a bit more contentious. Belief, and belief in the correct thing, is important to salvation of the soul in Christianity, and as such, Christians, and especially early Christians, end up with more… heated divisions between sects and faiths.

how can you stop israel from trading without impacting other countries?

tldr: the sanctions on russia also have an impact on global trade, so if this is your redline, you should be anti-sanctions

A desperate backtrack after giving up the game. Sorry that “Let’s hurt trade between everyone we can, not just those trading with Israel” isn’t what most people would regard as just.

are you saying the blockade is different to sanctions because russia attacked ukraine and is committing war crimes?

Brush up on your English.

The actual employees threatened to resign en masse, because the employees own equity in the company and want this dogshit move too.

I play like that even when I have ample time to think

Oh don’t you worry - vendors were very much a thing in the Colosseum! I’m sure they were every bit as overpriced as they are now, lmao.

Who do you expect to rule except for these Houthi fighters?

Holy fucking shit, please look into the history of the Yemeni Civil War. The idea of the Houthis as fighting for the independence of the Yemeni people is beyond absurd.

That’s some “Who do you expect to rule except the Taliban” level take-

I see this stupid take so often like with Afghanistan, it’s frustrating.

… of course.

It really is fantastic, I thought it was a re-enactor or the like from the thumbnail. I don’t think I’ve ever seen any ancient statue like it.

I was feelin’ Conleth Hill as Varys personally

“You there, Britunculus! What’s your name?”

“… Bart.”

“What is of worth here? What do you dream about? What do you spend all day thinking about?”

“… rocks.”

so their actions are bad because you don’t think they’ll be effective? honestly, pressuring global trade has historically been a pretty good way of achieving goals in capitalism

Thanks for giving up the game and admitting that you support this not because it blockades under 10% of Israel’s trade, but because it disrupts non-Israeli trade.

again, sanctions on russia have definitely killed people

I’m sorry that the words ‘attack’ and ‘war crime’ mean nothing to you.

Yeah. I was never on the side of the Houthis, but I considered our support for Saudi-backed murderers instead of Iranian-backed murderers to be utterly pointless, except negatively insofar as it involved us backing a bunch of vile fuckers in a conflict we had no business being in.

Still wouldn’t support the Saudis if it were up to me. But now I certainly support retaliating against the Houthis until they stop attacking international civilian shipping.
