Small-Scale Question Sunday for December 10, 2023

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

When the Romans attacked the Gauls, the Romans stayed in formation. Focused on winning, the Romans stabbed below the shield line into the vulnerable legs and groins of the Gauls. The Gauls, heedless, charged into the Roman line in search of personal glory.

The Romans were "the man" who always wins. The Gauls were the hero who throws himself on the machine and dies a noble death that will echo in eternity.

The Romans are like Stringer Bell, who took classes at business school. He realized the straight game was 1000x better than the drug game for making money. But Stringer Bell's blood was "green not red". He was not a true gangsta like Avon Barksdale whose "heart don't bleed no slushie".

Your husband is thinking like a Roman, and not like the gangsta Gauls. He's right of course. But that's not the point.

Wow, living that Testosterone poisoning dao.

Amazing the amount of dudes who want to square up and take their life into their own hands over dumb shit.
