Some of my favorite examples of Africans blending Traditional Clothing with European clothing resulting in a hybrid attire that just looks so Damm good
Oh that's neat, I didn't know he actually commented on it.
I always assumed that in the dwarves were how other people picture the Jews (rough/short/hairy/jewlers), the elves were how Jews picture themselves (graceful/ancient/wonderous creators), and the hobbits were how Jews actually are (a quiet little people living off in our own little community that are occasionally instrumental in world altering events)
@liangshikai1990@pazarts97@ZoomerHistorian Who gives a fuck. Israel won and secured it's existence. Who fights wars to prove racial superiority?. The most jive thing I heard all day
@liangshikai1990@pazarts97@ZoomerHistorian What bunch of retard. No state in the modern world can exist in a vacuum. Trade , diplomacy, these are part of statecraft. God, third worlders
Around 1,950 years ago in Pompeii, a weaver named Successus fell in love with a barmaid named Iris.
She did not love him back.
We know this because his rival, a man named Severus, decided to humiliate him publicly. He grabbed something sharp and carved this into a wall for the whole city to read:
"Successus the weaver loves the innkeeper's slave girl named Iris. She does not care about him at all. But he begs her to have pity on him. His rival wrote this. Goodbye."
Imagine walking to work and seeing that with your name on it.
Successus found it. And instead of letting it go, he carved his reply directly underneath:
"Envious one, why do you get in the way? Yield to a man who is better looking and being treated very unfairly."
Severus came back one more time to end it:
"I have spoken. I have written. You love Iris, but she does not love you."
Then, in 79 AD, Vesuvius erupted and buried the wall, the tavern, and the entire argument under 20 feet of ash. The thread was frozen mid-beef for almost two millennia until archaeologists dug it up and translated it.
We will never know who got the girl. We do not even know if any of the three survived.
Pompeii has over 11,000 of these inscriptions. Bar reviews. Bragging. Bad poetry. A bakery wall that says "Welcome, hungry people." Two guys fighting over a girl in the comments.
The technology changes. We do not.
