What am I looking at?

Nah that's wrong

Shirt tags are loud as shit and it sounds painful at the base of my skull.

Sound is the correct sense.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Trump probably saw he was popular AND I'm sure Mamdani said polite things to the guy, and now were here.

I appreciate Ukraine and EU on one side with NATO backed Ukraine on the other.

Truly a case of who would win.

  1. Fixed the title lol.

  2. Yeah that's accurate

  3. Yeah, I did. There's even my favorite Lt. commander Worf quote in there

"We killed our gods. They're more trouble than they're worth." -Worf

Edit: actually I had that quote in a different draft, but it still goes hard tbh

I agree with the stoicism bit and that is what I personally do other than joking about it. But I could see a use.

I also heavily recommend making an altar! They're a really nice excuse to collect antique knick knacks and often upset door knocking Christians and landlords alike.

Oh and all this other stuff I said. That's nice too

The Last Kingdom did such a good job showing how

  1. Mundane medieval warfare was since it really wasn't often grand scaled. Post Roman Europe was mostly small skirmishes with occasionally large scale warfare, but it was few and far between until probably Charlemagne (citation needed. I am NOT a military history guy.)

  2. Brutal. There was no even match up. It was either a one sided slaughter or the battle didn't happen.

The Battle of Thermopylae where king Leonidus and his "300 spartans" (it was actually a few thousand of a coalition force) held off the Persian invasion of Greece.

The plan was to use the narrow mountain path to pit a few of tgeir well trained soldiers against a few of Persias rank and file. The idea being a few well trained soldiers could take out a lot more rank and file if they didnt have battle tactics to worry about.

What caused Leonidus to lose that battle is an alternate route through the mountains that let the Persians flank the Spartans and probably totally destroy them.

What's mind blowing is this was hundreds year old history when Rome tried the same thing.

This one spot is famous for losing battles and ancient people loved choosing this battleground and then losing

Another one I didn't know is gay.
