I’m finally learning Roman history after being a medievalist and American history fan for so long.
I can’t wait to male more memes.

The book I was reading made it sound like they were preparing for a proper siege, but the Wiki said they were fielded in lines. Which blows my mind.
So this image. One legion (5,000) lined up against presumably the bulk of Hannibal’s* army (50-60,000), and then Hannibal “paper hands” of Carthage fucking leaving instead of fighting them!
Yeah I can see how a Roman would ride that high into an empire. They were probably ready to die.
I’m not sure if this was the bulk of his army. I havent seen any numbers on exactly how many of Hannibal’s men were there. I know he was baby sitting a lot of the shaky allies he’d made so he might have split it up to take care of those matters.
I’m also not sure exactly how many legions were in Rome. It looks like Fulvius Flaccus made it back with 3 legions (15,000) and there was a swearing in of 1 (5000)
But numbers get in the way of a good story.


Lol, fuck that guy

I really respect that Proton is trying to be the quick replacement for google stuff in people transition into privacy focused tech
But shit like this is why its loosing that edge.

AI hadn’t been invented to do twitter sentiment analysis yet so the marketing teams was running off of vibes and the Auspices of the sacred chickens.


The only thing I hate more than a leftist news channel using conspiracy theorist language in a 3 hour video
Is copy pasted AI break downs.
You want me to watch this but you didn’t even bother to give me your own breakdown?
Is this a not account?


That makes sense. I’ve never wanted to play bedrock so I’ve never tried.
Sorry other poster.


What are you talking about? When was the last time you tried this?


You wanna join my cult?
I’m joking, but I’m legitimately fascinated by the fact that this thread seems to have attracted all 4 people on Lemmy who are atheists that have toyed with a paradoxical atheist religion.
Maybe I shouldn’t have been posting in the religion community these last few weeks lol


Interesting read.
I’m also an atheist looking for a religion. Though, for moral reasons I reject any organized christian sect. They are all guilty in being manipulated in getting the US to where it is now, and I refuse to let them think they’ve converted an atheist.
Like the other commenter I’ve turned towards pseudo bhuddism. For me the morals and everything can be logical no issue. The real human desire we’re missing is community cohesion. A group of diverse people with a shared spiritual experience to ground us in the truth that we are social animals.
I have a few posts about it, but to me god is a conception of communal love and cosmic probability to which we can offset anxieties.
And just like the other poster, I am also practicing occultism and satanism as well as Bhuddism.
I don’t know of I’d recommend satanism just because I don’t think it’s conducive to community building.
You can. But with used parts which feels like has always been the case.


I agree. Lots of great movies aren’t necessarily box office winners.
That being said I’m 95% sure From Ares is going to suffer the same fate as every other Tron.
We all collectively forget about them until the next one comes out in a decade.
Playing with it locally is the best way to do it.
Ollama is great and believe it or not I think Googles Gemma is the best for local stuff right now.


He’s a libertarian who is, self admittedly, hard to work with. He’s also petty and a pedant.
Great for right to repair and digital sovereignty, but there’s a lot more arguably real issues in the world than making sure my tech is upgradable. Like I’m pretty sure he talk about supporting RFK Jr in 24 [citation needed]'. I don’t follow him as closely since he made a 20 minute video trying to argue that AOC is wrong about there being no such thing as unskilled labor by explaining the exact point.
I really don’t wanna know his thoughts on trans rights or the mass racist deportations.
That’s so fucking rough.
KazuK9_ is a brutal twitter handle for our friend Kazuk to deal with.
Also history isn’t stored in buildings any more than its stored in statues.
Sure there’s an artistic value that’s lost and maybe even a cultural pride, but its just a building really.
I’m more concerned about everything else then the damn ballroom.


I didn’t know Pillion meant passanger


We alao leave out it was a non-consensual kiss from either party since they were both being mind controlled


In fairness, it is an American show.
Its somewhat justifiable, kinda.
What an almost bold general.
I swear, the History channel documentary on his crossing of the Alps made this seem like a bigger threat.
Poor bastard tried to insert himself into Italian politics, found out how petty and absurd it is (and always will be), then lost due to confusion.
