The irony is Cao Cao was famous for tomb raiding. He even created a whole government agency to raid tombs, which would fund his troops.

Victim complex much

Would you get equal market value to say a hoard of gold Viking coins?

Ah, but Hackman figured it out.

Whenever he's given lines, he tries to imagine an actor better than himself and then asks himself "How would that guy deliver these lines?"

Lived in abject poverty her whole life. Explains the drug use.

Guess I better stop pooping on my keyboard.

We have the general outline of the Roman myth of Aeneas from other sources. After the battle against Turnus, Aeneas goes on to found the city of Lavinium, the spiritual fatherland of the Roman people. Aeneas then lived there as King until his death, at which point Jupiter deified him under the name Indiges. His line would continue to rule the city of Lavinium and its surrounding lands, including Alba Longa, the birthplace of Romulus and Remus.

Virgil was really close to the end of the story, he just didn’t quite make it. The battle with Turnas was definitely the climax to the story of Aeneas, and the founding of Lavinium would’ve likely been the conclusion. For the story that Virgil was telling, it’s a very logical place to end his epic. It concretely places the house of Aeneas on the land of Latium, and connects his house to the Legacy of Rome.

His reads, decision making and execution have been really good - what areas does he need help with

The legalization of any drug would drive down the prices, so it helps to prohibit things, at least on paper.

Janis Joplin was voted the ugliest man on campus at the University of Texas. She cried, quit, became famous, and died.

He died as he lived, by boldly going where no man has gone before.

I'm desperately hoping the Niners pick him up to train Purdy

Fantastic rebuttal.

Maybe, but we don't.

It's takes a special kind of tunnel vision to look at all the wars of conquest and say "privately owned means" is at fault. It's as ridiculous as the "I did that" Biden stickers on gas pumps.

So maybe all empires are built on blood and the concept of empires in general is outdated and we should feel to criticize them?

See, working in IT, and after touching countless other's keyboards, I gotta admit I rarely get sick. Doesn't bother me at all.

Unfortunately ‘twas the burden of the white man, to “civilize” these unfortunate peoples, but at least the economic benefit of looting, pillaging, and wealth extraction made up for the hardship of these superior peoples to carry the burden of territorial expansion.

But seriously, look at the vast majority of colonized peoples and tell me that colonialism was a good thing. White settlers don’t count as colonized peoples BTW.

In the case of Congo, they were often conscripted into service.

Redditors when they learn there are more economic systems than capitalism & communism and socialism.

I suppose he was more of an itallic kind of guy
