At least 2-3 times a day, I love their technology, the aqueducts the roads and the stone work. I love to think about post empire when the Germans Gauls and British were living around their ruins unable to build structures like they could. I think about the citizens and how similar their lives are to ours then how drastically it changed post empire. I think about how awful it must have been to be a slave in that time.

I got hooked on rome from Dan carlins hard core history series on the fall of the republic and he did another one on Cesar in Gaul.

What if they did take over would you move to Russia and live in the communist “paradise?”

For me Brazilian jiu Jitsu got me in great shape and the grind of it helped me get into hard workouts too. I don’t enjoy lifting or doing cardio but I love the after reward. Jiu jitsu definitely helped me know I could push past what I thought was a limit.

It sure would but then what will happen to all their billionaire friends? We can’t expect them to have only one yacht! The real kick in the dick was they made the FD go on it but management and town hall staff got to keep the good health plan.

My town changed our insurance from a decent PPO to a HSA and didn’t grandfather in the current membership. So everyone eligible to retire retired so they can keep their PPO. We had over 15 people leave. It was great for Overtime not great for personal life. I am a firefighter.
