From Wikipedia:

During the 1st and 2nd centuries, the Roman Empire had a population estimated in the range of 59 to 76 million.[2] The population likely peaked just before the Antonine Plague. Harper[3] provides an estimate of a population of 75 million and a population density of about 20 people per square kilometre during its peak. In contrast to other ancient and medieval societies, the Roman Empire appears to have had unusually high urbanization rates. During the 1st and 2nd centuries CE, the population of the city of Rome is conventionally estimated at one million inhabitants. Ian Morris[4] estimated that no other city in Western Eurasia would have as many again until the 19th century.

The Wikipedia article says "The cast included Paul Collis, Jane Arden, James Barron, Hal Fowler and Rebecca Pearce." I'm a little curious about where you got the idea Bea Arthur and Jack Klugman were in it?

Sure thing, babytroll. You whisper your affirmations in the mirror. "I bring value, and I get along with people, and anyone who doesn't think so is projecting their sadness."

Then ask if anyone can mop the drool off your chin, because the collective is probably saying, as soon as you toddle off, "For fuck's sake, this idiot is asking questions again because they're too fucking incompetent to do anything themselves."

While the rest is true, "most of the nations wealth" is an insane exaggeration, 2 million quid doesn't even come close to the wealth generated by the mining boom. During which Naru as one of the wealthiest nations on earth. Source

Well, what could you expect with Bea Arthur and Jack Klugman headlining. They say their premier performances killed. Yes they did, they murdered legitimate theatre that night!

And then they spent most of their nation’s wealth on a West End musical about Leonardo Da Vinci falling in love with the Mona Lisa, but he’s actually gay and it is one of the biggest bombs in theater history.

Because i don't work with Karens like yourself, homie. If you ever brought actual value to a conversation or a collective, you might figure out why it is that simple questions receiving simple answers is a net benefit to a collective of humans. Won't bet on you figuring that out, as i very much doubt that you get along with people, in general, judging by your disposition there.

That thing you're doing, where you're projecting your sadness on strangers, then making fun of the sadness you projected on them - that's prolly indicative of some issues, homie. Consider having it checked out.

I asked a simple question, and like you pointed out yourself - i got a simple answer. I'm fucking smiling. Do reach out whenever you wanna whinge about it some more. Always here to point out to you that the thing which so upset you actually worked very well for everyone involved.

It is something to consider before marriage and kids since "career" - for working husband or wife - is often cited for breakups in marriages. Look at Tom Brady. And he only "works" 6 months out of the year.

Would it be disrespectful to electricians if she decided to become an electrician? They’ve spent years honing their craft.

And I really don’t what Trump has to do with it. He’s not really an actor and he’s definitely not a journalist. I think the public can grasp that people can wear multiple hats.

You really need to think up some better insults if you’re goal here is to make me cry.

Try something creative. Like if I said “it’s like I’m have a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent” try a witty comeback rather than just use the last insult your mom called you.

Lmao, won't you ever stop crying. Never did i double down. I didn't in fact single down, either. Whatever dipshittery goes on in your skull that's convinced you that i had an issue with the title - i never did. I just asked, politely, for someone to expand on it. And wouldn't you know it - someone fucking did. That was before you got upset by the fact that i asked a question and someone answered it. You soppy cunt haven't stopped whinging about it ever since.

Also, i dunno why you're lying to yourself as much as you do, but it's pretty obvious that you have some issues going on, so i guess i won't bother talking you out of it. It's not like you're capable of considering new information anyway. xD

Do the grass thing, though, for real.

Yep, pretty much. If someone did say that out loud in the office, I'd be pretty sure they're a blundering dunderfuck who shouldn't be trusted to buckle their own belt, let alone use a toilet.

And so, since you said it in the office, plenty of people have said, "Why the fuck can't you figure that out yourself?", while you're all "Nyah nyah! I got someone to do it for me, and you're all losers and smell funny."

So, hey. Every so often when online, I get to ping you, and apparently this makes you SO VERY SAD.

She was in a relationship, became pregnant, and then the father "noped" out of the relationship. Single motherhood is not ideal, but what would you have had her do, especially considering that she was at least in a better financial situation than most women who have to make the choice?

And are you really saying that anyone (male or female) in a "busy career" shouldn't even have a spouse since they "have no time" for one?
