@pr0ud_americans If you burp, say "excuse me". Also, asked to be excused before leaving the table, and leave only if it's important. Otherwise, stay and wait for others to finish eating.

@pr0ud_americans You wait at the table for the food to arrive and not the other way round.

I take 24 hours off @X and other socials and come back to this beast of a discussion 🤣

I don't even know where to begin in response to some of this, so I'll just summarize my thoughts:

- I'm not a fake nerd, I have a large retro/vintage computer collection that has been sitting for quite some time and I challenged myself to pull my stuff out of storage to get it organized and finish some old projects. It needed to be fun, so I thought adding some flair would help my content stand out.

- While I'm capable technically, I'm no where near @lauriewired or @EleonoraSayaka level. These ladies are HIGHLY skilled and deserve your respect. They demonstrate as much in every video. I went a different direction in my career and am very knowledgeable in a different field, but this is a passion for me because it's what I grew up around.

- I'm clearly not here or producing my content for money. If that was the benchmark, my channel is a massive failure 🤣 Any money I do make gets donated back to the retro computing community (VCF sponsorships or similar).

- There is nothing wrong with having fun with one's own content. If you don't like it, don't watch it, or tell the algorithm not to recommend my channel anymore.

- I like dressing cute and a touch sexy sometimes and there is NOTHING wrong with that. It's not for everyone, and that's ok.

- No, I am not a dude 🤣

- Put simply, yes, I want my content to stand out because it takes time and effort to produce and it's fun to get it seen, but in my case, it's not about selling you anything or as a gateway to "OF" content. I'm doing this for fun 😊

- Don't hate on my fellow creators

[Homer Pavlos @HomerPavlos]

Emily Wilson is a kind of a feminist that is truly a bad person that wants to hurt you. Not directly, but in depth, through her profession as a classicist. She is attacking my culture and the Greeks because she hates virtues. She is blatantly lying because most of you don't know to read Greek. But I am Greek and I can read both modern and ancient Greek. So let me tell you why she is purposely lying.

The references with insulting epithets toward the servant/slave women who betrayed Odysseus’s house and slept with the suitors are numerous. The most common ones, however, are "bitches" and "shameless" that were serious insults. Most foreigners translated the word "bitch" as "slut" which is correct to say that this is wrong because it's not what the text writes but in a sense of "non-literal translation" it's not out of context because those women who slept with the suitors and betrayed Penelope were "shameless bitches". Especially the word "shameless" is a strong insult in Greek. It implies sexual shamelessness lack of decency, and moral boldness and this is why foreign translators are using the word "sluts" in English. But Homer doesn't use the Greek word directly to call them "whores".

The following translations I will use are made directly from the ancient Greek text into modern Greek. We Greeks do not read foreign translations. What we call an adaptation (απόδοση) from ancient to modern Greek is not considered a "translation" for us, since it is the same language. In other words an adaptation of a Greek text bridges the gap between ancient or dialectic Greek and the modern target audience.

1. Odysseus to a servant woman (Book 18, line 340):

"Bitch, if I go and immediately repeat your wretched words to Telemachus, he will tear you to pieces, you’ll be smashed into bits."
[ἦ τάχα Τηλεμάχῳ ἐρέω, κύον (=Bitch), οἷ᾽ ἀγορεύεις,
κεῖσ᾽ ἐλθών, ἵνα σ᾽ αὖθι διὰ μελεϊστὶ τάμῃσιν]

2. Penelope to Melantho (the servant who slept with Eurymachus and betrayed them), when Melantho spoke rudely to Odysseus (who was still disguised) (Book 19, line 91):

"Nevertheless, you bold, shameless bitch, you do not escape my notice at all, doing a great deed which you will wipe off on your own head."
[πάντως, θαρσαλέη, κύον ἀδεές (=fearless bitch), οὔ τί με λήθεις ἔρδουσα μέγα ἔργον, ὃ σῇ κεφαλῇ ἀναμάξεις]

3. "Perhaps in foreign lands too, some servant women insult him, every time he enters a famous lord’s house, just like these bitches here who all together insult you, stranger. I imagine that to avoid their reproach, their shamelessness…" (Book 19, around line 370)

4. "Servant women shamelessly dragging themselves here and there." (Book 20, line 318)

5. "Twelve of them appeared completely shameless, who had no regard for me and showed no respect to Penelope." (Book 22, line 422)

Emily Wilson cannot tolerate any criticism of the women who betrayed the man Odysseus and slept like shameless bitches with the enemy, betraying Penelope.

In her worldview, men are always the bad guys, and only women are the heroines. She herself calls the academic translators misogynists. It is inconceivable that there are today "eunuch" academics who defend this malicious and worthless woman.

This woman is in Classical Studies in order to destroy them, so that you, who will read her books, will form a false image of the epics that built Western civilization.

How Odysseus is not a hero, Achilles is not a hero, men are not great and brave but evil, and how the patriarchy must be fought so that women can win. They are trying to convince you that there is no heroism in Homer. Yet the epics were written precisely for this reason: so that you understand what it means to be a hero, what sacrifices are required, what difficulties you will face, and how you will achieve eternal fame. How you will conquer your passions, how anger destroys you, and how moral virtues lead you toward godlike status.

She hates all of this. She wants you spiritually dead. She hates you.

Therefore, it is completely justified for you to hate them too.
