In the beginning of chapter 11, persia is Iran and greece is the US.
So who is Sparta?
Spike: Or maybe Captain Forehead was feeling a little less special. Didn't like me crashing his exclusive club, another vampire with a soul in the world. Angel: You're not in the world, Casper.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
persia is Iran and greece is the US.
Do you think that person knows that Persia actually is Iran? And that Greece is an actual place, too? (Note: I have only read the quoted excerpt.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So who is Sparta?
I'm not sure, but I think I am.
eta: No wait, I'm Spartacus!

No, you're Spartacus. Big difference.
Of course, so am I.
eta: hilrarious x-post
I! Am! Spartacus!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
you'll be blinded by the light!
Revved up like a deuce?
I finally found my Apple TV remote. Thing is too damned small, and I haven't gotten my Harmony remote to fully mimic it yet. I have Ashes to Ashes to see.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Someone is wrong on the internet.
I'm having a tussle about the NYT piece yesterday on girls who are involved in web design.
I'm getting demolished by boys who are all, "yeah, using frontpage is not the same as coding" (the, "girls are stupid" is silent, and yet deafening).
And I'm just exploding.

So, they think it's typing with 11 digits rather than 10 that makes all the difference?

I just bopped through the article and I agree that Frontpage isn't expliclitly coding, but it's hardly non-technical.
You can do a very fancy web page without getting technical. You can do a fancy web page and get technical and not program--how are they defining coding? And then you can do an effectively simple web page, but with a great deal of coding behind it.
It's why I love the web.

I'm still googling Rapture stuff. I found this blog:
He describes himself like this:
It is my considered opinion that there is no god. I understand there are people who don't agree. I can't imagine why, but hey, let's talk. I love dogs and some cats.
Fucking asshole! Those people who don't love all cats are going to burn in hell!
