In ancient Rome, a man was convicted of eating his wife...
The soldiers arrested him and brought him before Caesar.
"Do you have remorse for your heinous crime?" Caesar asked.
The Roman smiled and shook his head. He looked very happy.
Caesar was shocked.
He told the guards, "To commit such an act is bad enough, but to be happy about it? As a punishment, keep him in chains, and every day make him fight armed opponents, using only the minimum of weapons! Report back to me in a week, we'll see if he's still smiling."
The guards dragged the man off.
He was still smiling.
As they were commanded, each day they made the prisoner fight.
On the first day, armed with only a net and a stick, he fought an opponent with a spear.
The next day, with only a small rope, he fought two swordsmen. And so on, he was forced to fight every day.
At the end of the week, the prisoner was in a real sorry state.
He could barely blink, let alone smile.
The head guard came to Caesar.
"Oh, Caesar, I have come to report on the prisoner. We made him fight each day, using the most basic weapons, like a, er, you know, whaddaya call it?"
"Gladiator?" said Caesar.
The guard snickered, "No, he actually quite regrets it now."
@MrStephenHowson Hi Ste, with all this talk about “control” under Amorim, if this is control, I don’t want it. Hard to watch, results were factually shit, and teams are having a laugh at Old Trafford.
Give me the Ole chaos. It can’t get any worse than this. I just want to enjoy watching again.
Oh look a white person learned bahasa, or speaks English in a Malaysian accent. Who gives a flying fuck lol. Idiots make them famous, let them have their cake and eat it.
Few novels were quite as controversial as Dostoevsky’s The Demons
Publishers censored the story — they said it was vile and graphic
Dostoevsky said it was brutal, but necessary
Here’s what he wrote, and why it was deemed too dangerous for print…
Seeing lots of influencers crammed together in a tight spot when attending an event kinda makes me appreciate the grind.
Just kidding it’s dumb af and you’re dumb for making them famous.
