Really lad, you should go and get yourself a job, preferrably one involving at least some interaction with real people.  The energy spent will take your mind off of bullshit like this.

Why would this be "bullshit"?

Just that you've come a long way from thinking that your theories somehow proved that historic events never happened.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

The entropy of the language in the OP is given by the product of the oddity and the time the reader shows interest.  We already have several "nothing" threads.

To be honest, I still think my earlier theories could hold some degree of truth.
By the way, what do you think, is "Vladimir Putin" his real name? "Vladimir" can be read as "ruler of the world" or "peaceful ruler", both readings seeming rather ironic for one of the most powerful people in the world. James Patrick Mallory suggested in Encyclopedia of Indo-European Culture, that Teuta(na), the name of a famous Illyrian queen, as it is written in historical sources, wasn't actually her real name, but a title meaning something like "mistress of the people" (from the root *tewt). Well, by that logic, "Vladimir" probably isn't Vladimir Putin's real name either, right?

OFC you do, because you're fucking crazy - but being uninteresting is a step up from being fucking crazy.

I'm more than willing to get on a zoom call and compare maps, show you were the bodes are literally buried, show you the scars from that conflict written across my own body. But, in the meantime, you be you. Uninteresting you.

You understand that because a name means something doesn't preclude it from being an actual name, right? My own (RL) name translates as 'The god-like nobleman from the river', none of which remotely describes me.

My real name means, "Destroyer of Worlds"*, which I'm trying to live up to.


*not really, but it should!

Supposedly my given name means angel. I don't think I have lived up to the name. Don't intend to try at this late date.

Mine is "The noble one descended from a story-teller". My brother's first name means "Brown lord".

Edit: Including my middle names "The noble brown lord* little French man descended from a story teller".

*Different spelling to my brother's name.
