If only the stupid P*rthians weren't in the way, they could have been bros.
Definitely, definitely. I'm sure that's how it would have went. /s
Probably. Modern racism wasn't invented until the (late?) 1600s (maybe 1500s if you include the Spanish colonial style), but being grossed out by unfamiliar foods seems biological in origin. Nationality by geography is even more modern, only really getting into swing post-WWI with the arrival of closed borders.
Rome was pretty unique for actually practicing integration as well, though. I know less about Han China, because there just doesn't seem to be a lot of English-language resources. (Recommendations very welcome)
Is there any info on how far into the Sahara the Romans conquered, exactly? I know there was the one exploratory expedition where they reached the other side. (Or was that Carthage?)
It's male-leaning, although it gets used androgynously.
If someone personally didn't want to be called dude, I'd avoid it. Otherwise it's not worth freaking out over.
It usually is. If you don't get paid, a bit of arbitrary power is kind of expected.
@recklessengagement@lemmy.world if you go to the bottom of the page on the default web frontend, there's a link to the modlog and you can search your username.
I have no idea how well federation of modlogs works exactly, though. I usually check on ml to see if I've been banned again on ml (you don't have to be logged in).
That sucks, I'm sorry. For every person who's given an unfair advantage by a parent there's some that get shafted.
Also, a lot of people that join fringe movements have a personality that craves conflict, and it becomes an outlet for it.
Non-carnism isn't really so fringe anymore, but that's pretty new, and may not have reached veganism specifically.
Yup.
Eventually, maybe less aggro people will join and the cycle will break. Being ovo-lacto-veg is cool now. Or maybe not, because veganism isn't based on ideas that modern people already agree with, but rather suggests a whole new system for how animals should be treated. Like, they're against continuing to keep dogs as pets.
Yes, but imagine all the rage clicks!
He's basically a professional media villain at this point. Not many people take him seriously, and I doubt the share among journalists is larger.
He also implied that being sent to Ukraine was punishment for something.
Do we know what the Chinese text says?
