To be fair the mosaic in the OP is not connected to the epitaphs quoted. The mosaic functions basically like a sign on the gate announcing the place is guarded by watchdogs does today. Chaindogs mostly did not lead very enviable lives, and were probably not considered such a member of the family as the epitaphs convey.

It is an unfortunate fact that even though we have these rare pieces of evidence of human empathy and bonding with animals, the lot of the majority of animals falling into the hands of humans throughout history has not be very good.

The Odyssey is not the oldest surviving literature by far. We have much older Mesopotamian and Egyptian literature for example.

But it is indeed old.

There is a difference between being in touch with your ancestry to claiming you are literally a nationality which you aren’t. Americans always say “I’m Irish, Italian etc. etc.” and proceeds to be the ultimate arbiter of what is real Irish, Italian etc., when in reality they had some great-grandparents in of their family tree branches who may have been of that nationality.

By all means be interested in your ancestry, study the archives, learn about your distant family, but it does not suddenly make you Irish, Italian etc., you are American.

Then proceeds to think the AI hallucinations they’ve been spoonfed are facts.

No, there was a celebration planned, but no parade. That was only added to the celebration a couple of months ago on Trump’s personal orders.

What the fuck do you think happens to their kids?

Not get hate? Why is this so difficult for you to grasp?

More morally right to never indulge in any Harry Potter media at all. Don’t reinforce the hype by watching that crap, even if by piracy.

That’s not the point. The Republicans are not doing this to save money. They are doing this for ideological reasons, namely that domestic violence is fine and there shouldn’t be any domestic violence shelters, because women should be subjugated to their husbands no matter what.

And it is not going to take 10 years. It is right around the corner.

No, it is not better. It is equally as bad. Stop with the moronic “they are opposing my enemy so they must be my hero” nonsense. It makes you as bad as them.

Oh so only a little genocidal murder is perfectly fine, because there are others who did far more genocidal murder? Do you even listen to yourself how incredibly stupid your argument is?

This is not a zero sum game, you can oppose both, just because you want to oppose one more doesn’t mean that the other one is someone to cheer for.

The OP is literally talking about cheering Iran. So it is definitely about single issues for a lot of people.

In my case it was Ashens.

Yeah, it is the exact opposite of what OP claims. Historians are basically the only ones constantly demystifying her, while her legend as a sexy femme fatale lives on in the general public mind (thanks pretty much exclusively to Hollywood, because let’s face it, noone would know she existed without them).

Nah, it is the other way around. Historians would say those facts, and Hollywood and possibly general media would be the ones saying “sexy”.

Considering reality do you blame them? This is hardly satire, just sarcastic pointing out (US) reality.

Epic had it as one of their freebies once, so it might return there.

Looks boiled, not raw. Still, it shouldn’t be boiled.

Big “curious, yet you live in society”-energy from your comment.

You are the one who seems complely out of touch with reality here. So you should go touch some grass, or whatever pathetic way that inane saying goes. You are the one on your high horse, making poor excuses for poor reasons.
