      I know you have to pay the bills and advertise but Hero Wars is just as predatory and awful as Raid Shadow Legends. You can play Hero Wars for free but to join a viable Clan and have some success you have to keep pumping money in. Every few months they bring out new hero's which remain the winning meta for a few months until the next batch are released. Started to play during lockdown and furlough but quickly quit after I realised what the set up was.

As if we east Europeans are less wanted than Pahistani and Indians. As far as I see hey drive taxis, make haircut, burgers and rather dislike hard labour. We east Europeans are the hardest working in UK. That is a fact. When we leave construction will need to decrease, factories will work slower and so on.

    Lovely. I would not necessarily agree with the "disappearance" of continental Celts from history. I see it rather as a "blending in" and adding their cultural features to the general landscape of early medieval society (and what followed). We owe to them a vast amount of toponymics, geonymics, foundations of cities (as settlements, not as civitates, of course), dialects and general customs. What was lost was the explicit geo-political victory, and the cultural awareness of the self, as a consequence.
    Think about it as a painting: later societies decided the main themes, but the background colours and general style bore the hallmarks of this great, genuinely European culture.

    Those are not crosses or Christian, they are Egyptian ankhs that are in no way connected to Christianity. The closest thing would be Coptic Christians who adapted the ankh by changing the oval shape to a round one. But the use of the ankh in this video to represent the spread of Christianity is very odd. A minor detail I suppose, but in terms of symbolism, it appears that Egyptian pagan practices spread across the empire.
