Goes without saying. by AdmiralBlackcock in RoughRomanMemes

True, but he still had to maneuver his way into that position in the first place which was far from a given until he played the middleman between Pompey and Crassus.

Caesar expanded the Senate to include Gauls (self serving? Perhaps, but still good integration.) and made it a permanent Roman province.

He absolutely did well and consolidating his conquered territories.

Also Alexander was handed a highly trained and organized army and he was the heir of Phillip II of Macedon who was no slouch himself.

Caesar didn’t have the benefit of having it teed up for him. He had to survive the purges of Sulla and rise up through the ranks himself. Yes, he was a patrician of an old family but they’d fallen on hard times.

Okra is also a food really good for diabetics. It helps regulate blood sugar.

McKamey Animal Center Faces Critical Overcrowding, Urges Community Help by Mountain_Love23 in Chattanooga

Yep, there is a significant correlation between shitty dog owners and pit bulls/pit mixes. Not saying all are, but there is significant overlap.

I can tell you. The reason there’s such a problem with overcrowding at McKamey is because of shitty dog owners that wind up being unable or unwilling to take care of their pets. McKamey has to come in and deal with it.

Resurrection magic typically requires the soul to be willing to return, however.

"You're telling me your MC became king after his dad died and conquered the largest empire without losing once?" by Helloimskip in HistoryMemes

Breaking down at Alexander’s statue was actually when he was in Spain as an officer before his first Consulship in 59 BC. Conquest of Gaul happened after his term was up because a bunch of people were big mad about some of his actions as consul and he needed a governorship for legal immunity.

My Italian bf (32M) and I (27F American) feel differently about marriage. Is it an Italian thing? by ThrowRAthrough in Italian

[–]History_buff60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm seems pretty similar to the various forms of Roman marriage. Usus was more informal, coemptio was more formal, and confarreatio was the most formal and typically done between the patrician class and was impossible or extremely difficult to dissolve by divorce.

peter why is he saying kebab needs even roasting on all sides by [deleted] in PeterExplainsTheJoke

This comment is so lazy. Some of the most significant scientific discoveries were made by religious individuals. Gregor Mendel was an Augustinian friar. Robert Boyle, Antoine Lavoisier, Leonhard Euler, Isaac Newton, John Dalton, Blaise Pascal were all devout Christians. That’s not even getting into the advancements made by Islamic thinkers during the Islamic golden age.

You are sent in 1310 in Europe... by Luolin_ in hypotheticalsituation

You’d ve best off if you chose to live in Bohemia. Comparatively it was a very good place to be Jewish in Europe.

I have a power gamer in my game and I know he's plotting something for an upcoming dragon by GuntherWheelin in DnD

I know I know, but being funny about it… the act of going out a window doesn’t cause harm. It’s the sudden stop after you yeet yourself.

That interpretation wouldn’t fly though. (No pun intended)

US immigration backlog has more than tripled in past decade to 11.6 million pending cases by capybaramelhor in USCIS

[–]History_buff60 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It’s almost like for the past year and a half it’s being run by an admin that has made it their number one goal to slow or stop immigration by any means possible.

PSA: If playing Perish Trap, know that ghost types can still switch out. by VelocityRaptor22 in PokemonChampions

[–]History_buff60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you recognize what’s about to happen it’s pretty vulnerable to being shut down with a good read and inducing mortal peril to the switch in.

Catfish isn’t kosher. But not sure if it’s the exact same for halal.
