@ozzie8811 You pfp looks like the shit I take in the morning.

I am 100% panic-mode right now. This is scary. Greece is going to turn into a mini-Hindustan and we're going to be neighbours with cow-worshiping Indians.

Agreed! Turks should go visit their homeland Mongolia instead.

lol 😂

@phonybone Is there anyone who’s originally from Chicago that calls the lake a beach?

Chicago bitches be like beach day

I’m here to break the losing streak. #Cubs

You can’t say “courageous” in Greek without saying “manliness” because it’s the same word Now do you begin to see why our classicists despise Homer, the classical Greeks more broadly, and revel in defending their perverse translations and interpretations of all the texts?

Helen calls herself "κύνωψ" in the Odyssey, usually translated "bitch" or "shameless bitch". Wilson says "hounded" (🤣). Here's why that's wrong. The word literally means "dog faced" or more properly "dog eyed". Why do women get compared with dogs in Greece? There's actually a whole book on this ("Shameless" by Cristiana Franco, which is useful despite the author's clear feminist leanings). Yes, women get called dogs/bitches disproportionately, in Greek too. Men let dogs into their company, and even love them, b/c they are useful and charming. But they are clearly interlopers in some contexts. There are certain rules they just won't obey. Even if you get them not to crap on your rug, they'll still lick their balls on top of it, right in front of you. This can spoil certain kinds of occasions. Similarly women are interlopers in male-only contexts (incl. war, politics). When they transgress that boundary, they can be expected to break the (other) rules—sometimes with good results, sometimes chaotic, crazy, bad results. Shame is the opposite of honor, and honor is what binds male hierarchies together. Without shame, you don't get honor. Women can't integrate properly into a male honor hierarchy (at least (?!?!) in Greece...). But honor is the lens through which men see the world (or used to). Thus, when women break rules of good behavior, one of the go-to comparisons is with the dog, who is also innately a misfit to the code of men. ("of course they'd do that"). (Not that you can't call a man a dog in similar fashion; Achilles does it to Agamemnon in Iliad 1). Anyway, Helen calls herself "dogface" in Odyssey 4 when she's telling a story to Telemachus (in front of Menelaus, now her husband once again). She's telling a story about "how crazy things got!" when she was bewitched by Aphrodite, caused the Trojan War etc. But she insults herself, "yes my fault!" in order to win sympathy. She "knows she did wrong, so shameful!!" It disarms you. It's a kind of seduction. She does the same thing in Iliad 3 (calling herself κύνωψ and all). She's not trying to excuse herself (with e.g. "hounded!") —that would provoke indignation from any reasonably intelligent and morally serious man, like Telemachus and Menelaus. She calls herself the worst thing you could call her, that you maybe already had in mind. And this is key to the seduction. She says what you're already thinking. This kind of thing is key to her charm, and key to Homer's brilliant characterization of her otherworldly powers (still present as she approaches middle age in the Odyssey).

@turkishcy Before you came to the region you were eating Mongolia donkey ball soup and now your teaching cooking techniques.

Bütün Balkan mutfağının birbiriyle aynı olması bunların hepsinin Osmanlı yemeği olduğunu kanıtlıyor.

@ragipsoylu lol. He praised Erdo while in parallel the financial markets are turning Turkey into Zimbabwe. 🤣

NEW: Trump had deleted his below post on Erdogan

My Greek ancestors built Agia Sophia. The Turks conquer by the sword, not by love, nor by arguments concerning the truth. Let's be honest about Islam.

lol 😂

@chooserich Get well soon. Your posts always made me laugh.

Two weeks ago I shared that I got Classic Hodgkin Lymphoma ("cHL")... For those who may be unfortunate to end up in a similar place I wanted to share lessons from the wild rollercoaster of the past two weeks. Perhaps it might be a little bit cathartic as well ⬇️

More all all time highs cometh. Thank you President Trump.

@s_nakotomo Ancient? You been drinking again during working hours?

Türkiye is not an ordinary state founded merely 100 or 200 years ago; it is the heir to an ancient civilization whose roots stretch deep into history. History itself stands as witness to this. Once, it ruled across lands extending from شرق to west for more than 600 years with justice, strength, and civilization. No hardship faced today will last forever. Just as it overcame countless storms in the past, it will emerge from this period stronger once again. Because great nations write history not only through wars, but through the resilience they show in times of crisis.

@davebftv Chicago politicians waste so much tax payer money (and steal it), but they stood their ground on a stadium that could have been a national attraction - These people are the morons. I guess the Bears didn’t bribe them.
