I suppose that every cloud has a silver lining. The Feminst Psyop has made girls so annoying and repellant that they have to strip nude to thongs at the beach and wear near transparent yoga shit at the gym to attract to their egg baskets again. Must the be 'Red Queen' of brainwashing, adapting back with another strategy.

Judging by the low angle of the moon and the lava flows, that must be Iceland?

Dunno, but seems like a good guess.

I actually do read and think about the Roman Empire quite a bit.

The Holy Roman Empire is the one that worries me.

Illegal immigrant quick access ports? They looka likea buncha dykes.

Are you staring at my skin tight, camel toe outlining, nipple exposing, butt thong yoga workout outfit? The ultimate shit test: damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Yes, I am this old:

I burned a disk from work to upgrade my win 98 machine at home, but I forgot to copy the key.so I made up one. I ended up getting it right on the second try. I should have played the lottery that day.

Why? Doesn't seem as strong.

Gollee. No wonder it smells like fish.

Holy Roman Empire is the Vatican.

Facial Recognition Software has gone a bit crazy.

LOL! They don't call them reptilians for nothing. Nice catch with the fly from eye to mouth to swallow.

Really? Any recommendations?

All I know about it is that is wasn't Holy, wasn't an Empire and wasn't very Roman.

It was more a weak confederate monarchial state. A precursor to the joke that the EU is today.

I got confused when reading about it's Circle system of local administration and gave up.

Yes:

Plutarch's "Lives", a large collection of short biographies of famous Greeks and Romans in pairs, contrasting a Greek and a Roman each time. Written ~100 AD. It's very long, and sometimes tedious because of all the battle descriptions, but full of amazing twists of fate and other excellent tidbits.

Also "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" by Gibbons, which is similarly long and sometimes tedious, but lots of rewarding bits too.

I also really liked Marcus Aurelius's "Meditations" and Seneca's "Letters" but they are really about Stoicism and not the Empire itself.

My bad. I thought you wrote Holy Roman Empire instead, for some reason.

BTW, highly recommended:

Oh, great. Now the fucking Milky Way has to go to rehab.

Lol, I used to be a bit embarrassed by how much Irish people drink until I learned that the Russians drink twice as much per person.
