Caesar started a civil war that ended with him being emperor.
His crossing of the river precipitated Caesar's civil war,[4] which ultimately led to Caesar's becoming dictator for life (dictator perpetuo). Caesar had been appointed to a governorship over a region that ranged from southern Gaul to Illyricum. As his term of governorship ended, the Senate ordered him to disband his army and return to Rome. As it was illegal to bring armies into Italy (the northern border of which was marked by the river Rubicon) his crossing the river under arms amounted to insurrection, treason, and a declaration of war on the state. According to some authors, he uttered the phrase alea iacta est ("the die is cast") before crossing.
They birthed and normalized shitty internet behavior: rickrolling on the lighter end, trolling, doxxing, and swatting.
They would also do shit like make fun of mentally handicapped people, which would lead goons to harassing the victims IRL and teaching kids that this was all OK.
And they would go after people who talked shit about about them, criticized them, or otherwise attacked them. The 4chan army would come out in force and try to ruin people's online existence.
Before Q-Anon showed up, they had started calling Trump God Emperor during the election. I think they may just have chose him as the candidate who would cause the most chaos, but it's easy to see how others others would take their goals more seriously and want Trump as president.
And the cycles of shitty behavior over decades attracted more and more rightwingers. I used to think of them as a chaos collective, but the politics swung hard right.
And then they spread to other platforms with r/thedonald, pepe the frog, and calling each other pedes.
TSR had permission from author Michael Moorcock to include Elric but I think the publisher was unaware. And so there was a legal stink that resulted in Elric and Lovecraft being removed in a later edition of Deities and Demigods.
Who came before Socrates? I don't think there's any historical evidence of his existence other than Plato talking about him simply because he's so far back...unless you're talking about beyond Greece.
A) Any nuclear exchange will fuck the entire world. Assuming that we can just toss nukes with impunity is foolish.
B) If you compare the loss of 3000 people to the number of people killed in US dirty wars, the false flag attack that triggered Vietnam, and other military misadventures, the US is far, far ahead compared to those we've slaughtered. I'm not saying that it's OK to kill 3000 people, but treating the rest of the world like expendable pawns in the name of the US is disgustingly one-sided and ignorant of the evil our country has visited upon other parts of the world.
C) The idea that we were just innocently doing nothing when we were attacked ignores all of the violent foreign policy we have practiced for 70+ years now post-WWII. And we still haven't abandoned those practices.
Abandon the FOMO completely. I do not reward shitty behavior. Destiny 2's launch was the end of that. Let other people pay top dollar to playtest it and work all the wrinkles out. Let all the DLC come out and the game GOTY edition if it's that good. Let others buy that. THEN, when they are going to launch the sequel, all of that pap will be sold at basement-level prices. Maybe wait a bit longer if it was really popular.
I'm playing Divinity: Original Sin 2 right now. ;-)
So, Trump, who is incapable of telling the truth, has to truthfully report what businesses belong to him in New York?
He can't do that. Not without lying. And then if he lies, he faces more charges.
Good. He earned this in spades.
