That Spartan anecdote is somewhat less cool when you recall at the time Sparta had atrophied into a military backwater that wouldn't have threatened Macedonia anyway so Phillip basically didn't care.
Why the back down, then?
Not worth conquering
Just like the Kazon
But why send those threats in the first place, then? Did he never have any intent to back them up?
Maybe he thought he could get a freebie.
and I wonder about my neighbors even though I don't have them
but they're listening to every word I say
On a world called Heaven, the ten major religions of mankind each have its own land governed by a capital city and ruled by a Hegemon. That Hegemon may be a god, or a prophet of a god. Smaller religions have their own towns or villages of belief.
Corvyn, known as the Shadow of the Raven, contains the collective memory of humanity’s Falls from Grace. With this knowledge comes enormous power.
When unknown power burns a mysterious black image into the holy place of each House of the Decalivre, Corvyn must discover what entity could possibly have that much power. The stakes are nothing less than another Fall, and if he doesn't stop it, mankind will not rise from the ashes.
This is easily the best book I've read this year. Everyone should read it.
I like grocery shopping. If I didn't go to the store I wouldn't buy weird ingredients and then learn how to use them. I'd be buying essential duplicates of the groceries I bought the last time I went to a physical store forever.
Oh yeah this is purely covid related
I found the grocery store extraordinarily stressful when i was going inside
It was using up like 30% of my weekly stress budget
Tried a simple new recipe on a whim tonight and it was lovely
Roast cauliflower florets tossed with S&P, oil, garlic, chili flakes, lemon zest; combine with pasta, chopped toasted walnuts, chopped fresh parsley, raw minced garlic, lemon zest; top with black pepper and grated pecorino
Really good! I'll probably try some little fragments of chopped bacon in it for myself, but it isn't necessary
“Mitch you are one son of a bitch” said Mike Huckabee coyly as he smirked at his senior senator. “Why don’t you come over here and give me some of that pork!” Huckabee leaned in close as he and Mitch slapped each other’s lips together, warm spittle droplets flying across the congressional hearing room while their dentures clicked loudly against each other’s.
“I hope you brought your phone book, Mike” said Mitch as his slobbered on neck flap rustled coolly against the chilly ceiling fan breeze “because I’m about to filibuster”

For an anime that has some really random and bad fanservice, Fire Force is so incredibly good. Such a great feeling of comradery, and the fights are all spectacular.

I just watched the first season last month so I'm excited to watch more
I pretty much only like Klaus, but the overall concept is compelling enough that I'm down for it. Ensemble casts are good. If we can see more of the hot dead brother I'd be happy.

Who was it that something along the lines of "They're just my opposition, my real enemy is the navy" regarding interservice rivalry
It was Curtis LeMay, the exact quote is "The Soviets are our adversary. Our enemy is the Navy."
Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if Labor had not first existed. Labor is superior to capital, and deserves much the higher consideration. - Lincoln

Are they still hiring people where they're like "we'll send you to Mars but you're definitely going to die"

I'm okay with this if Grimes is there
same for real life
Which coincidentally is the very same room as the one they filmed the fake moon landing in!
this is incredible
But it has to be the same people we’re already all familiar with.
I was surprised by how much I liked that show.
yeah nobody likes having to get romance from a newly introduced character
Mitch McConnell x Mike Huckabee
One can only hope.
