I hope this doesnt come off as a stupid question, but I don't really get this.

Tacitus writes down Tiberius is talking to the People about Germanicus' death. The point of the speech is to make the People move on, because they werent happy with the fact that Germanicus didnt get the deserved honor during his funeral. But then all of a sudden Tiberius says many People have died for Republic, but their deaths werent as painful as Germanicus' death [multos illustrium Romanorum... Desiderio celebratum]. This doesnt make sense right? Why would he say Germanicus' death is the most painful, while the Point is that his funeral isn't as honorable as he deserved?

The moment on twitter

So, is this Fredrik Wester trolling us about Victoria III or is he finally showing his hand? I've never seen such a directly indirect answer and it frustrates the hell out of me.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

PART 2: THE LONG AND TUMULTUOUS SHARED HISTORY OF ROMANCE AND GERMANIC NATIONS

2-D-ζ: ROMAN AND MEDIEVAL SWITZERLAND

ROMAN ERA (read more here)

In 58 BCE, the Helvetii tried to evade migratory pressure from Germanic tribes by moving into Gaul, but were stopped and defeated at Bibracte (near modern-day Autun) by Julius Caesar's armies and then sent back. In 15 BCE, Tiberius and Drusus conquered the Alps, and the region became integrated into the Roman Empire: the Helvetii settlement area became part first of Gallia Belgica and later of the province of Germania Superior, while the eastern part was integrated into the Roman province of Raetia.

The following 300 years saw extensive Roman settlement, including the construction of a road network and the founding of many settlements and cities. The center of Roman occupation was at Aventicum (Avenches), other cities were founded at Arbor Felix (Arbon), Augusta Raurica (Kaiseraugst near Basel), Basilea (Basel), Curia (Chur), Genava (Genève), Lousanna (Lausanne), Octodurum (Martigny, controlling the pass of

The entities in Project Blue Book.

Various sightings of the entities manifesting around the world.

More corporeal sightings of the entities.

These phenomena are some of the major activities of the entities on Earth.

Global captures of the entities in their energy vehicles above Earth.

Entities near the surface, without materializing into their bodily forms.

Various recorded bodily manifestations of the fallen entities reveal that these creatures usually take on a sentient bipedal form when terrorizing human victim(s).

As it is with most paranormal encounters with strange and frightful beings, balls of light are always associated with the phenomena before, during, and after the encounter(s).

These beings can pass through walls/doors/objects to paralyze victims with fear and/or briefly abduct victims. Sometimes following this, victims experience what is called "missing time."

The entities are responsible for the grisly and bizarre Cattle Mutilations.

The entities are also responsible for the genuine overnight Crop Circles.

All of the surreal phenomena shown thus far has in fact occurred throughout the entirety of recorded human history - from the current day to the medieval period and beyond into ancient life thousands of years ago.

Critical art depicts the major experiences, and many stories were written down in the annals.

Below is an extraordinary list of sightings and encounters of the entities recorded throughout human history happening back in the 20th century to ancient times and beyond - ages before the industrial revolution and the first human pow

Pilot on me!!

The Catholic Church, from at least the second century, has claimed that Christ was born on December 25. However, it is commonly alleged that our Lord Jesus Christ was not born on December 25. For the sake of simplicity, let us set out the usual objections to the date of December 25 and counter each of them. Objection 1: December 25 was chosen in order to replace the pagan Roman festival of Saturnalia. Saturnalia was a popular winter festival and so the Catholic Church prudently substituted Christmas in its place. Reply to Objection 1: Saturnalia commemorated the winter solstice. Yet the winter solstice falls on December 22. It is true that Saturnalia celebrations began as early as December 17 and extended till December 23. Still, the dates don’t match up. Objection 2: December 25 was chosen to replace the pagan Roman holiday Natalis Solis Invicti which means “Birthday of the Unconquered Sun.” Reply to Objection 2: Let us examine first the cult of the Unconquered Sun. The Emperor Aurelian introduced the cult of the Sol Invictus or Unconquered Sunto Rome in A.D. 274. Aurelian found political traction with this cult, because his own name Aurelianderives from the Latin word aurora denoting “sunrise.” Coins reveal that Emperor Aurelian called himself the Pontifex Solis or Pontiff of the Sun. Thus, Aurelian simply accommodated a generic solar cult and identified his name with it at the end of the third century. Most importantly, there is no historical record for a celebration Natalis Sol Invictus on December 25 prior to A.D. 354. Within an illuminated manuscript for the year A.D. 354, there is an entry for December 25 reading “N INVICTI CM XXX.” Here N means “nativity.” INVICTI means “of the Unconquered.” CM signifies “circenses missus” or “games ordered.” The Roman numeral XXX equals thirty. Thus, the inscription means that thirty games were order for the nativity of the Unconquered for December 25th. Note that the word “sun” is not present. Moreover, the very same codex also lists “natus Christus in Betleem Iudeae” for the day of December 25. The phrase is translated as “birth of Christ in Bethlehem of Judea.”[i] The date of December 25th only became the “Birthday of the Unconquered Sun” under the Emperor Julian the Apostate. Julian the Apostate had been a Christian but who had apostatized and returned to Roman paganism. History reveals that it was the hateful former Christian Emperor that erected a pagan holiday on December 25. Think about that for a moment.

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

When I got home, they were still there.

I won't be doing that today!

Leaked U.S. military footage from 2011 in Kandahar, Afghanistan show an encounter with a group of these Mal'akhim entities at night, as seen in the video above through a FLiR system. An A-10 Warthog is called in and fires precision laser-guided Sidewinder missiles at the objects, and the missiles reach them at 0:32 in the video. The missiles struck their mark and detonated straight into them. Shockingly, after the great force of being struck by an explosive detonation, the objects don't fall away or even budge slightly, continuing their course as if nothing had just occurred. The inexplicability of this event is jolting proof of the paraphysical and interdimensional nature of these objects, which are the entities themselves.

All of the aerial phenomena described and shown thus far actually stretches back throughout the entirety of recorded human history - from the cur
