Here are half the words in the Iliad. δέ, ὁ, καί, τε, ἐγώ, εἰμί, ἐν, σύ, ὅς, μέν, ἄρα, ἄν, οὐ, ἐπί, γάρ, ἀλλά, τις Between them, these 17 words account for 56,810 of the 111,700+ words in the Iliad.
Yes, there are some things that really grind my gears so I sort of understand. People continuously trying to cause arguments, not so much. But hey-ho, such is the nature of many SM platforms. My experience on this one, so far however, has been great with pleasant exchanges with very lovely people. 😊
Yes, it's ridiculous.Laughable really. It's good to just switch off from it.
Me too! It's the best idea!! 😆😆
I've seen nasty arguments breaking out over the colour of Marilyn Monroe's teeth on FB. I kid you not! 😂 It's unbelievable what people will argue over. Seeing the toxicity on social media gets a bit much sometimes. I think, for me at least, that it's good to have a break from SM every now and then.
I do look before blocking someone. If I think they are just having an off-day I don't block them but if I see that they are consistently being nasty and trying to upset people then I block them. Sadly, they do seem to need help but we also have to take care of our own mental health & wellbeing.
It’s Friday so it’s time for frescoes! This bowl of figs is from the Villa Poppaea in what was once Oplontis, a small settlement destroyed in the Vesuvius eruption. It’s a lovely still life; the plump succulent figs look good enough to pluck off the wall 🕰️C1st BCE 📷 open source 🏺 AncientBlueSky
