egypt defeated the sea peoples twice(or likely what happened was they repulsed a vanguard coalition of a mass migration due to severe climate problems) and were the only Mediterranean civilization that survived the collapse

A Chianti wine is any wine produced in the Chianti region of central Tuscany. It was historically associated with a squat bottle enclosed in a straw basket, called a fiasco
Very pleased to know those fat bottles are called 'fiascos'

I am completely on board with resurrecting the Etruscan separatist movement like fuck it, if I'm gonna go out for a cause at least make it a stupid dead one.
Hmmm, it's in Turkey, but not the part of Turkey that really caters to tourists that want to get wasted at "Europe's biggest outdoors disco!"... I don't know about that.

The word "esquivalience" means "the willful avoidance of one's official responsibilities." It dates from the late nineteenth century, and likely comes from the French esquiver, "to dodge, or slink away."
Except it doesn't. It's not a word. It was included in the New Oxford American Dictionary as a trap word.
In a world before cheat-seeking software, trap words were a way for dictionaries to protect their copyright. If a new dictionary was published, they'd just have to flip to the E section and see if there was an entry for esquivalience. If there was, it was a sign that they should maybe turn it over to their lawyers for a closer look.
Map-makers similarly included "trap streets," nonexistent little alleys and dead ends that wouldn't lead travelers astray on their way to any place that actually existed, but would serve as a beacon for anyone searching for stolen map data.
Kind of bums you out that the best we can come up with these days is software that compromises your kernel for no good reason.
Reminds me of how Genius caught Google stealing lyrics straight off their site.
After suspecting Google was ripping off its transcriptions, the complaint says, Genius placed a digital watermark in its lyrics made up of different styles of apostrophes that spelled out "red-handed" in Morse Code. If Google's lyric boxes contained the watermark, the suit claims, "there would be no explanation other than that the lyrics were copied from Genius's website, e.g., by using the copy/paste functionality or a computer program."
After notifying Google that it had found its watermarks in its lyric boxes, Genius alleges multiple Google executives said they were looking into the issue but would not explain how the watermark showed up in its results. Genius designed a second experiment in 2018 to determine how widespread the issue had become, applying the watermark to a random sample of songs. Of the 271 songs to which Genius applied the watermark and that appeared in Google's info box between October and December of that year, 43% "showed clear evidence of matching" the watermark, according to the complaint.

Important fact update, some tarantulas keep tiny frogs as pets to eat ants which would otherwise endanger the tarantula's eggs, and everything about that rules.

Oklahoma statute §63-1-1430 makes it a crime for any person, state, county, or local governmental entity or corporate entity to force you to get a microchip implanted in your body or have any permanent mark placed upon you.
This is not one of those crazy old laws you read about in Ripley's Believe It Or Not, this statute was passed in 2008, and is the first law of its kind in Oklahoma.
"Dang," I hear you say. "Some person or governmental or corporate entity in Oklahoma must have been getting real wild with the microchips if they felt the need to pass that kind of law."
In fact, no. There was not a sudden rash of forced microchipping or tattooing in Oklahoma in 2008. The law was passed because at the time, elected officials were furiously debating whether or not their driver's license was going to become the Mark of the Beast.
[insert elaborate Jon Bois-style title cards, ending up with a swooping zoom on the Oklahoma State Capitol in Google Earth]
Following the terrorist attacks on 9/11, the Bush administration passed the Real ID Act in 2005, requiring states to standardize security features on driver's licenses and state IDs to make it harder to pass fake IDs across state lines. Oklahoma was one of the states that fought back the hardest. A good deal of the resistance was just old fashioned "gummint got no right" contrarianism, but the real fuel in the boiler was the fact that Real ID-compliant cards had to include an RFID tag. And enough Oklahomans believe that the actual physical Rapture is going to occur in their lifetimes and that RFID tags are the Mark of the Beast that they represent a powerful voting bloc within the state.
Meanwhile, I hope the rest of you suckers have fun riding out the Tribulation. I have the comfort of knowing that if the Antichrist tries to brand me with the mark of the beast, they will be slapped with a fine not to exceed $10,000 courtesy of the Oklahoma Department of Health. Suck it, Satan, Oklahoma wins this round.
Hang on, my vaccine arm is ringing, I have to take this.

So I’m looking into that and I think they are all wearing different types of civilian shoes, possibly whichever they individually liked that made less noise? I’ll keep looking into it. There are definitely several types there.

But all quite similar though eh? Like clearly not off a factory line but like maybe the same cordwainer?

also, the fasces represented strength through unity and also magisterial/legal dominion
the gross shit happened way after various seals and coats of arms had been created
in the roman republic and empire it was the prime symbol of government authority - imperium
the two consuls who were elected to lead rome "held fasces" alternating months - meaning they switched between who was the head of state each month
and it was symbolically carried before all kinds of government magistrates
basically the fasces is all over US seals for the same reason the white house has pillars, classicalism was in. And it's a good symbol of government authority that isn't monarchist in nature.
fascism didn't take it from the same place - it came about more in the sense that a bundle of sticks represents strength through unity, which in italy became a common term for various political groups/coalitions, or for calls for different political groups working together. A few of which became the Italian Fascist Party. The symbolism attached came later.

I assume you're taking the piss here, but not really
civilizations collapse and mass migrations happen, but the level of globalization we currently have, a collapse like that is just not really feasible

It becomes more of an issue when people move to imaginary copyright trap towns and actually start the town and name them after the fictitious trap.

Oklahoma eventually succumbed to the rank heresy of the Real ID act, to the extent that DHS will actually start enforcing it for Oklahomans starting in May 2023, just in time for the act itself to be old enough to vote.
