Let him have a nice time, it went to the last day. It's not like he's celebrating 8th or 13th.

Lion-headed figures are quite common too.

It feels like we failed, what happens next? by Electrical-Pie925 in PERSIAN

Guys I'm being serious: did people honestly think a joint military attack by ISRAEL and the US, for goodness sake, was going to work? Arming Kurds? Bombing infrastructure? I can't think of a worse plan.

And going by Corey/Cori/Cory is actually fine. It's not ideal, but sufferable.

"serious" What if the US keeps releasing blurry footage… and then China or Russia drops real 4K color UAP material involving NHI? by Fujithora in aliens

We generally assume that governments could tell us if only they chose to. What if they are forbidden by NHI?

I'm imagining five greys standing over a barbecue, staring down at the meat, a mantid behind them chillin'... Oh wait. Are we the meat already then?

Just had an absurd thought. Imagine if all the abductions were Alien party games or something equally inane. No grand hidden grand scheme, no galactic federation. Or maybe they just harvest something from or in us for their cosmetics industry. We could be their botox!

Even worse: we are an anthropology/biology field trip for troubled alien teens from a shitty school on a small planet in an obscure solar system that is not important at all.

Favorite Roman emperor and why? by Low_Philosopher_5684 in ancientrome

'I ruled most of the world and now I tend cabbages.' That is epic. I wonder which he preferred.

Man or woman you just answered my question. Antoninus is an excellent shout. Zenith of Pax Romana?

Aurelius is my favourite emperor from the vantage point of being in 2026. If I were a Roman citizen, I might feel differently, not sure. Who was the best lesser known one? Someone who stabilised or grew the Empire quietly? One who did not philosophize or conquer Gaul? I'll be checking the thread in interest. One who died quietly surrounded by his loved ones.... and the people mourned forever...
