Now I really have to do homework. FUCK.

Fucking in Latin Class would really just be extra credit.

I dunno.
They might make us decline any offers.

...Explain this joke.

[Nightkill the Emperor]

More people should do news posts and oneshots, as those things are indeed cool.

Decline is the verb form of declension, which is the inflection of nouns to indicate number, gender, and case form.

Ah.

Citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages, the government recently relinquished its monopoly on the mail service, many of the country's largest dumps can be seen from space, and citizens simply have to point a weapon at a government official to get what they want. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare.

Glanced at my nation description for the first time in a while.

My country has become India, if India had no crime, a police force, education and welfare.

[Nightkill the Emperor]

Now I'm looking at the history of Latin.

Dammit Astro.

There are rare occasions one-liners work.

[The Inritus Extraho]

There are rare occasions one-liners work.

Rare, but they are wonderful when they do. I would have italicized "are".

[Nightkill the Emperor]

Agri, you should make a oneshot about some supernatural shop-owner who feels disturbed about the rising anti-supernaturalism in Germany.

It'd be neat - like Jews in 1930s.

Are there Libertarians, in India?

Many.

[Agritum]

Oh wow.

There are ones in Italy, but let's just say that they are....insignificant. Very much so.

Doesn't help that they participated in the latest elections with a party called "Go, Tax Evaders!"

They arguably have a point here. Our government is horrendous and we've just come out of a failed half decade of socialism, so everyone wants more liberalisation.

[Individuality-ness]

Agricola familiam nautae amat. Agricolae familias nautarum amant.
Piratae in taberna cum nautis bibunt. Pirata in tabernis cum nauta bibit.
Piratae rosam do. Piratis rosas damut.
Ad oram insulae undam mittut dea. Ad oras insularum undas mittunt deae.
Poetae rosam sub statua deae reperiunt. Poeta rosas sub statuis dearum reperit.

Latin grammar homework assignment: change from singular to plural and from plural to singular.

The seven year old girl worked hard on her assignment. She had stayed up all night studying, in order to be prepared for when the teacher called on her for the day’s quiz. She had always been called upon to do the hardest problems, and always when she felt that she was not ready. Divia felt as if the angel teacher did this on purpose to try to make an example out of her in front of the class and maybe see her mess up, but then again, she could not prove it.

Piratae praedam post ianuam casae reperitis. Piratarum predas post inauas casarum reperit.
Noli piratae lacrimas spectare, poeta! Nolite piratarum lacrimam spectare, poetae!
Statuas dearum sine lacrimis non videmus. Statuam deae sine lacrima non video.
Avaritia piratarum agricolas terret, et contra piratas debemus mittere nautas. Avaritiae piratae agricolam terrent, et contra piratam debeo mitere nauta.
Nautae fillias agricolarum amant, sed agricolarum filiae nautas non amant. Nauta filliam agricolae amat, sed agricolae filia nautam non amat.
Agricolarum filiae amant piratam, at pirata rosas puellarum non amant. Agricolae filia amat piratas, at piratae non amant rosam puellae.

If she messed up, she was quite sure that she would be humiliated beyond all measure. She had been taught in church every single day that she was born with original sin, that she was not good enough, that she had to work hard in order to get into God’s graces. Paul said that believing in Jesus was enough, but the preacher had explicitly told her that as a demon/human hybrid, the Lord does not love her unless she can prove herself. How she could do it, he did not say. But the meaning was clear: she must work hard in order to be what the angels were naturally.

Why did her parents choose to live in the angel section of Heavensgate?

Ad oram insulae statuam deae mittunt. Ad oras insularum statuas dearum mittut.
Nolite dare rosas puellis, nautae! Noli dare rosam puella, nauta!
Agricolas et nautam puellae debent monere. Agricolam et nautas puella debet monere.

She was exhausted and was beginning to doze off. Soon she was dreaming of islands and farmers and daughters loving sailors. Within that dream, everyone found a place. There was no shame, no hatred. Everyone, even the pirates, was in the Lord’s graces, and all of them were happy. Everyone was blessed on this island, somewhere in the sea.

In her dream, she didn’t hear her teacher calling her.

“DIVIA!”

She started, blinking her eyes. Everyone in the room was now staring at her, and the teacher looked angry.

“Yes, teacher?” she asked, blushing red with horror. Shoot. She wasn’t intending to zone out.

“Divia, stand up while I’m talking to you.”

She stood up.

“Divia, how many times do I have to tell you? Do not fall asleep in class. Otherwise I would have to fail you.”

“I’m sorry, teacher. It won’t happen again, teacher.”

“This is the sixteenth time this term that I had to call you more than once. Do you need me to call your parents?”

“No, teacher. I do not want you calling my parents.” If the teacher called her parents, she would be in huge trouble.

“Then do keep up. Now, as I was saying, please do problem 14.”

Shoot. Problem 14. What was problem 14?

“Agricola, sine pecunia familiam ex insula noli mittere. Agricolae, sine pecuniis familias ex insulis nolite mittere.”

“Please translate that into English.”

Translate into English? That wasn’t part of the homework assignment!

“Which sentence, teacher? Am I to translate the original sentence or the modified sentence?”

“Please translate the original sentence.”

“Farmer, do not send the family out of the island without money.”

“Correct. You may sit down.”

Sighing, she sat down, face still burning red. The teacher glared at her, and then moved on to the next student.

Her eyes closed, as exhaustion from staying up all night working on perfection overcame her.

Soon she was back on the island, and everything was peaceful again.

“Piratae, noli dare rosas puellae!” dicit agrícola.

And the pirates obeyed. All was well.

I'm sorry that it's badly written. If I got any classical Latin grammar wrong, I also apologize.

All Latin sentences come from past homework assignments. I used it as an opportunity to practice endings for the quiz tomorrow.

Video proboque.

I'm not that far into Latin yet!

Video - I see. I don't know the proboque part yet.

[Nightkill the Emperor]

"I'm 300."
"That's fucking great, honey."

[Agritum]

They arguably have a point here. Our government is horrendous and we've just come out of a failed half decade of socialism, so everyone wants more liberalisation.

Got it. Italy, instead, has got a background of decades of rule by populist conservative parties, who still enacted welfare reform and additions (including the creation of our universal healthcare system), enacted some privatization but still left a sizeable government presence in healthcare, education and transports. Due to decades passed like that, a particular phenomenon (which also happened in Canada, IIRC), happened.

Basically, we grew affectioned to our healthcare system. The government may do whatever it wants with cutting taxes and funding to other ministries, but the momeny they try to change our system at large, everyone goes in an absurd uproar. It also helps that state employees are a sizeable part of the population (my mother is one, for example), and that our unions can muster quite some strength and be a pain in the ass for large corporations.

So, this is kinda why Libertarians always get pwned hard in Italian elections.

We have none of that. Instead, people realised that we all got richer when the socialists fell and capitalism happened.

And since in India the government almost never does anything useful, we're mostly libertarian in practice.

No, I'm thankful for it. Libertarianism works here, much better than socialism did. Different culture and situation.

However, I believe in the reverse for America and Europe.

Well, socialism grew up and even became popular in Europe after centuries of free market economy. Even if it eventually failed, it is still remembered fondly by some social democratic parties. Or well, the good parts of it (welfare reforms, worker's right, safety regulations in industries) are.

That may be so- but India has an entirely different situation.

I can understand.

I just hope that excessive deregulation won't turn you in Sweatshopland 3 : Hindu Style.
