lol sorry to kinda hijack your cities post twovests but i just really like rome ok?

why did byzantium get the works? that's nobody's business but constantine

right? that's fucked up too!!

they were romans. by the time the split between western and eastern empire was really embedded, the east was by far the more influential and important part. new emperors in the west were basically given legitimacy by the east. the western empire officially fell because the east abolished the position of western emperor after the deposition of romulus augustulus & assassination of julius nepos.

the east was in charge. they called themselves romans, they acted like romans, they controlled the roman empire.

but we name them after the name of their capital city that they never used? I get it's convenient to have a different name for the continuation of rome after western rome fell. But we have a name for that already... eastern rome.

here's a fucked up fact about cities!

istanbul was the capital & most influential and important city of the roman empire longer than rome was

it was constantinople and before that it was byzantium, it has always been one of the most important cities in the mediterranean area but the way history is talked about it's like they're three different cities

but no!!! THEY'RE THE SAME PLACE

yeah you're right.

I gots my own baggage with cbt. Shouldn't let it diminish the help it can be to others.

That's CBT for ya!

oh! yes I was going to post this but didn't

who do you think is singing...?

yeah? well I met a traveller from an antique land who says that's bullshit

it is now possible to swallow more computer data than existed in the 1980s.

proof of evolution

I getcha, I'm just in that awkward middle ground where I know enough about tech stuff to understand why it's good but not enough to be satisfied that it's secure. I'm probably bein way too cautious about this and not cautious enough about other stuff tho.

so as someone who is more tech savvy than the average person but not as much as an IT professional, I've always been wary of password managers. they remind me of those phone cases that have space to put your cards and cash in: a great way to lose your phone and wallet at the same time.

while I get that this is a specific case and relies on user error while doing stuff I wouldn't do, the conclusion is that there are genuine security flaws in the way google handles/d password management. So how can I, as someone who doesn't have the time or knowledge to verify things like this, be sure that a password manager I'm using is safe? This is a genuine question btw. I know that my current password method is somewhat insecure, but I feel like password management is relying too much on the integrity of someone else's server and code that I can't verify.

now THAT'S my kinda party!!

yeah but we gotta drink the water first, it's bull shit

fresh out of genders, sorry!

I rate it 10/10 because it sounds fun. I rate it 0/10 because I love word games but none of my board game pals like them so I never get to play them :C
