Most of my coworkers are British and I will confirm that they are a fascinating species to observe in the wild.

You do whatever you want, queen.

Glyph of Spearthrower Owl, a mysterious foreign name in Maya glyphs referring to a Teotihuacano ruler or commander who attacked Tikal in 378 AD. The glyph appears as a hand holding an atlatl and an owl looking at the viewer.

“It’s time for your Proto-Corachol-Nahua lesson! You wouldn’t want to lose your 9.0.3.9.18 streak! 🔥”

“Chak Tok Ich’aak I, I miss you.”

“Uh-oh, your streak has been broken! You know what happens to the royal family in Tikal now!”

I don’t think that’s the approach here.

This isn’t someone who’s harmful and I think she’s quite sweet. There’s just no way to convince her that any interest is genuine sometimes. And if that’s the case, we just won’t move forward.

r/RoughRomanMemes u/apolline_levesque You guys made it in a book “The taking of Egypt could not be ignored by anyone who considered themselves to be a Roman emperor. It would have attracted negative attention from even the most milquetoast ruler, and Aurelian was the exact opposite of that. I have often seen, to my great delight, the (highly recommended) Rough Roman Memes subreddit describe Aurelian as a gigachad because of his unstoppable energy and massive success in reunifying the empire. Aurelian definitely had Zenobia on his to-do list before she took Alexandria, but that action made him pivot at lightning speed. Even though Zenobia had appointed a Roman governor (having defeated and killed the previous one), had taken no action to interfere with the ports and was acting exactly as though Egypt was still very much a part of the empire and Aurelian was emperor, Aurelian fully abandoned the overrun province of Dacia to the Goths so that he could leg it to the east as fast as he could.” P.303 of A Rome of One’s Own by Emma Southon IacobusCaesar I’mma ping her on Bluesky with a screenshot of your post.

Shoutout to @emmasouthon.bsky.social for shouting out our subreddit in her book. 😌

I’m gonna have to read your book.

Much love from the r/RoughRomanMemes mod team and community! Thanks for teaching people about women in Roman history!

O, yeah, we mostly talk about those other things. I’m barely forward because I want to match energy, which is typical for me.

This mostly happens when she initiates discussion of her appearance or in the middle of anything else really.

Manchu on this.

Second vaguepost in an hour but dating advice: if we’re flirting and you keep saying that you’re ugly or unlikeable or whatever and refuse or interrogate any compliments to the contrary when I’m clearly already showing interest back, there’s nothing I can do. There’s no way I can respond.

FUCK YEAH.

I don’t want to say much about where this is, but sometimes I get taken on at some nerdy internet space to advise as a veteran moderator and see inside to see mods panicking about every single minor non-issue as a crisis and users that know they can use this to get what they want from moderators.

Inshallah. 🤲

Well, smashing some ships does seem nice before I go feed the tube worms.

When I grow up, I want to be a dead sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus) that sinks quietly and tumultuously into the benthic zone where I shall be feasted eventfully upon by the locals, giving my nutrients to the maintenance of an ecosystem most ancient and mysterious.

I’ve got a language-learning Discord server and it’s full of Hebrew speakers if you want.

Hebrew’s a fun language. Also pretty much everyone actually writes in cursive so if you do like me and start learning on a computer and then write something for the first time, people find it kinda weird.

My mistake: it’s actually missing an article link as well. I would encourage people to look for these things before treating news on social media as authoritative and to use the more sourced versions when circulating news.

The above account is a plagiarism-spam page that takes other people’s posts without credit. Here is the original post that you should share instead, with a longer context thread, and an article link (which should be expected when breaking news credibly).

Thinking again about a TTRPG setting I started working on and then get distracted from years ago set in the Late Pleistocene Pacific Northwest in which players would be hunter-gatherers trekking through a yet-untouched ancient American landscape 25,000 years ago or so.

God bless the MS Paint artists of Wikipedia.

This lovely image from the article on the Last Glacial Maximum is attributed to the artist Wobble.

It documents human cultural presence in Europe centering in certain regions in the south during the most recent height of Pleistocene glaciation.

The good news is you’re cool and bad yourself and I’m sure they respect that about you as well.

I grew up learning to write with two spaces between sentences and while I know some people don’t like that, it does make your writing stand out from what an LLM produces in a pretty good way.

I approve this message.

TIL that the vocal ranges of walruses (Odobenus rosmarus) are actually insane.

They can grumble, whistle, roar, and scream. I wish to be as cool as these most majestic pinnipeds.
