I’ve seen this memed so much I don’t even remember the real line from the film.
She says “Wolfie’s just fine.”
Incidentally a Canadian guy who made comedy videos under his real name Jon LaJoie put his serious music under the name Wolfie’s Just Fine
I did not know the show me your genitalia guy ever did anything else
I like his song about starting as a baby
Terminator asks John if he has pets, John says no, Terminator then asks John’s mom about the dog, Wolfie. She says Wolfie is fine, blowing the T-1000’s cover.
No, the dog is barking in the background and he asks what’s the dog’s name. John responds “Max,” and then the terminator says he can hear wolfie barking and the foster mom responds that wolfie is fine.
They have a dog and the T800 asks the name and John says Max (iirc). Then the T800 asks what’s wrong with Wolfie, using a fake name to trick the T1000
The T1000 then kills the dog and checks the name tag, realising it was tricked, and instead of wasting time waiting to ambush John at home it starts actively hunting again.
Ah thanks.
Everyone knows it was government inefficiency. If only they had an Elon Musk to
steal their moneyfix everything.On one hand, I want to say that Roman corruption was legendary and that virtueless cretins like Musk probably would’ve had a field day.
On the other hand, I want to say that Roman corruption was so ill-defined, government and economics so intertwined, and politicking so cutthroat and capricious that incompetent cretins like Musk probably would’ve ended up exiled to some Gr*ekoid rock in the Aegean Sea.
I’d argue it’s was Heraclius, when he adopted the title of Basileus. \s
But then again, that’s just where I am on my listen through of History of Byzantium
I’d argue it’s was Heraclius, when he adopted the title of Basileus. \s
This but unironically
Nice one!
Who/what destroyed the Roman empire?

The Romans
Overextension of empire then?
More like an internal decay. Like a tooth rotting from the inside out. Bigger or smaller makes little difference - it’s the internal dysfunction which drives it until a crushing, agonizing collapse.
A lot of issues are involved. Government instability and lack of legitimacy. Economic decline and irrational economic behavior. Hardening of a corrupt plutocracy into an intransigent aristocracy with independent power bases. Detachment of the population from the core civic identity of the state. Immense incompetence and nepotism in a period of increasingly centralized and bureaucratic control over society. It goes on and on.
Victor Pelevin, a Russian postmodern writer, explained the dissolution of USSR a very zen way: “USSR became so perfect that it stopped existing”. Same could be said about the Roman Empire.
