Caesar started a civil war that ended with him being emperor.

His crossing of the river precipitated Caesar's civil war,[4] which ultimately led to Caesar's becoming dictator for life (dictator perpetuo). Caesar had been appointed to a governorship over a region that ranged from southern Gaul to Illyricum. As his term of governorship ended, the Senate ordered him to disband his army and return to Rome. As it was illegal to bring armies into Italy (the northern border of which was marked by the river Rubicon) his crossing the river under arms amounted to insurrection, treason, and a declaration of war on the state. According to some authors, he uttered the phrase alea iacta est ("the die is cast") before crossing.

Wow.

What video card are you using?

I mean, they blasted tuition into the stratosphere wayyyyy ahead of the cost of living for decades in the name of placing higher on US News and World Reports.

That's putting income over students.

They birthed and normalized shitty internet behavior: rickrolling on the lighter end, trolling, doxxing, and swatting.

They would also do shit like make fun of mentally handicapped people, which would lead goons to harassing the victims IRL and teaching kids that this was all OK.

And they would go after people who talked shit about about them, criticized them, or otherwise attacked them. The 4chan army would come out in force and try to ruin people's online existence.

Before Q-Anon showed up, they had started calling Trump God Emperor during the election. I think they may just have chose him as the candidate who would cause the most chaos, but it's easy to see how others others would take their goals more seriously and want Trump as president.

And the cycles of shitty behavior over decades attracted more and more rightwingers. I used to think of them as a chaos collective, but the politics swung hard right.

And then they spread to other platforms with r/the_donald, pepe the frog, and calling each other pedes.

The Silk Road did not pass through Rome or India.

Wow, I stand corrected. Then Legends and Lore is is the Elric-less Deities and Demigods.

TSR had permission from author Michael Moorcock to include Elric but I think the publisher was unaware. And so there was a legal stink that resulted in Elric and Lovecraft being removed in a later edition of Deities and Demigods.

Legends and Lore was 2e.

If that Deities and Demigods has Elric and HP Lovecraft in it, it's worth something.

Elric is called Elric (obviously). Look for Hastur the Unspeakable. That's part of Lovecraft. I guess Cthulu was in there, but I don't remember.

This would've resulted in my leaving if I hadn't left in June.

Saved me 3.5 months.
