I think what’s happening in the US today rhymes hard on the fall of the Roman Republic.

And I’m sorry, but I don’t think the people won back then.

Heh. I used to run leafnode as my own, in house, single person server.

I’m quite surprised to find out it’s still alive and maintained.

You make larger districts that elect more than one representative each.

Or at least that was how it was done here in Denmark.

That’s actually a nice one.

Yeah.

And we can still block entire sites on the web.

The sites the friends with adblockers promote.
The friends who don’t notice what they promote.
What unholy bastards the people who own the sites they promote are.

Or maybe your highschool really had that high level equipment?

You’re joking, but the first programming “language” I learned was z80 machinecode in hexadecimal.

Ford was innovative because he used the scientific method to find out how long the work-week should be from a factory-owners perspective.
And then he set it to that.
If you’re a cog in a wheel in a factory that is still the ideal work-week from your owners perspective, sorry.

Wait, what? No!

Yeah, well, I’m sorry, but yes viewing the current Merkins as stupidly violent savages is a thing on this side of the Atlantic.

We Europeans on the other hand would never attack someone without reason.

We’ve always had reasons, usually some variation of wanting their possesion for ourselves.

And warning: This post contains sarcasm.

I’m pretty sure the idea of just making a tube and wearing that must be pretty universal.

It’s really versatile, after all.

Unfortunately for people who want to (or must) present European male our version is the peplos, which is thought of as strictly female.

The Romans calling the Gauls primitive is a bit like the British calling the Americans primitive.

True, but for Gods sake don’t look in the mirror.

My first thought when I read op was that trousers are a relative new development.

The Romans made fun of the Gauls for wearing them.

So if you decide to wear traditional Roman dress, trousers shouldn’t be included.

But it’s still designed for men.
