    My classical studies minor (and Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History podcast) make me want to say:

    Corruptissima re publica plurimae leges. (The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws.) Which, Tacticus wrote. Cicero lived during the fall of rome

    I think he would’ve said “O tempora, o mores!” (Oh the times! Oh the customs!.. ish) that lament he used often when describing the state’s decline.

    I love this meme on every level. I’m going back to my corner

    I remember people saying that libraries in the US can’t ban people watching porn on the library computers because freedom of speech or something and that homeless people deserve to watch porn too. I want to believe they were yanking my chain but it just sounds very American hah

      They should add a little beaded curtain that gives access to PCs that are designated crank stations.

        beaded

        Someone needs to be hired to wash ‘em in between uses (could stink up the whole library)

      If you’re homeless in a Republican state, jerking off in the library, you get a free bus ride to a democrat state. Then everyone from the Republican state criticizes the state you were sent to for allowing homeless people to jerk off in the library.

    Disappointing.

    I would expect a sign in a library to say, “No fellatio in the library.”
