Why is this legal? Isn’t there an authority that watches over fair competition in the USA?

We are talking about the Roman era here, mate. The Romans conquered outside societies and enslaved them. Slavery in this context meant that these “foreigners” could earn Roman citizenship. There were some slaves that held higher esteem than some free citizens in the Roman Empire, most notably doctors.

Slavery was not just whipping people to make them plow the land. It was a very complicated socioeconomical construct and it was very much a “normal” thing. In the late Roman era, slavery grew rampant (because it was profitable) and often children of poor, free citizens were kidnapped into slavery. But in the Roman high tides, around the time of Jezus, it was, for lack if a better word, a rather sophisticated process.

Yeah, we had a guy who did “just Ken” by Ryan Gosling from Barbie. It was not the best song for the moment.

Damn, that’s a lot of zeroes. How do you even pronounce that? Brazillion? Vermillion? /s

The equality of women is indeed a point where the bible failed, but you can’t do everything right at once. I’m not a fan of the bible, but in it’s days, it was a good book that taught good values. Values that were better than society was at the time and it really improved society.

Slavery was very much and accepted socio economical practice in those days. The mentioning the bible does are often not reminiscent of the 18th century slavery we’re all familiar with. Slavery I’m those days was often a kind of servitude, for a couple years, tto pay off debt. The bible recognises that for what it is and tries to humanise slavery by saying things like to treat your slaves as your brother

No it won’t spark any debate. Who even cares if some mediocre twitter service gets turned off? Who even cares if twitter gets turned off?

I mean, it’s a 1000 year old book. Slavery was accepted and normal in those days.

With karaoke you usually see the lyrics on a screen, but good song nonetheless

First time (and only time) I played, one of my group was determined to go to the hoard of monsters outside. The DM kept asking if he really wanted to do so, and he constantly said yes. Which prompted the DM to roll his little dice and make a note. That happensed about five turns, he even survived one or two turns in the middle of the hoard.

The DM kept hinting that the hoard was just a hoard and surely meant death. He kept pushing him toward the other side (I think it was a castle), but my friend was very stubborn.

It wasn’t a very long game, but it was fun. We should do that again some time.

We said the same thing about Facebook 15 years ago. Look at them now. Still twitching proudly with the vigour of youth while their teeth are falling out and their flesh is rotting.

Sail Hatan!

No, not your religion, only my religion

I mean, $$$$ is literally the whole foundation of what America is about. The whole world revolves around money, sure, but in America it is not just the economy, also the culture, the religion, the media, the public parks, op’s mom, everything!

Do you have proof?

These are the same Republicans who stand for less government interference. You really think they will agree to force their people to vote?
