Amor fati

Well, now, that explains a lot. Thanks for that info!

Well, i get that a bunch of stuff got built over, but didn’t they demolish the old stuff first? How do you build on top of these existing structures unless they were already buried— leading back to the question of how they got buried in the first place. I understand with a location such as Pompeii that got buried in a day or so in lava and volcanic ash, but that doesn’t explain other sites that remained occupied.

You make it sound like New New York in the show Futurama, where Old New York is literally just under the surface, decaying with the new city built on top, lol. I know that’s not what you’re saying, but i pictured that in my head.

Especially with regards to Ancient Rome, what i don’t understand is how it all got so buried in the first place. I mean… the place has been continuously occupied for thousands of years, so it’s not as if the whole city was just windswept and buried in 50 feet of sand like ancient Egyptian ruins. Did the Roman/Italian people just stop sweeping up for a very long time?

I know that’s overly-simplistic, but, still… people have been living there this whole time. How do entire buildings seem to just get swallowed into the earth?

Facing the consequences of your actions is not a state of victimhood.

Fascinating.

You’re describing a schoolyard fight, in a kid’s playground, and claiming that it’s something that defines a group as “adult”.

Have you had a recent head injury?

> The kids can go play elsewhere.

According to the Parks Department, the so-called “adults” will have to go play elsewhere.

Edit: spelling, etc.

Explain how bullying children and forcefully taking up all of the courts in their playground - to the point where the city has to intercede - is “acting like adults”?

I read this recently, and it really fits well here:

“Sometimes people use “respect” to mean “treating someone like a person” and sometimes they use “respect” to mean “treating someone like an authority” and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say “if you won’t respect me I won’t respect you” and they mean “if you won’t treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a person” and they think they’re being fair but they aren’t, and it’s not okay.”

The kids were acting like kids, but the “elders” to which you refer were acting like spoiled babies when they should have acted like responsible adults— and that’s why they got banned from the park.

There’s a lesson for you in this, buddy.

The adults could act like adults and let the kids play on the areas designated for children rather than try to steal it from them.

Since they couldn’t, and the city had to step in, they’re now banned.

It’s a public space, dude. Learn how to share. If you want a private space, buy one.
