I'm starting to think that ancient civilizations are not given enough credit. Even looking at the Saxon wars, I don't think they considered the Danes to be the same people whereas many today would say they are both white, so of course they are the same. I also feel like a distinct culture from say a Nigerian and a 5th generation white person from Alabama is alien to a 5th generation Russian and so on.

Absolutely! Ancient civilizations tend to get boiled down to simple ideas, but in reality, they were more complex than we give them credit for. Take your example of the Saxon wars. It's unlikely that they saw the Danes as the same just because they both had light skin. Nowadays, it's easy to think that skin color is the only factor, but that's not how people then or even now really see it. Ancient societies didn't have the same rigid ideas about race that we do today. They had their own ways of understanding differences among people, which were much more flexible.

omg I've missed you! Where have you been?!

I don't like posting on the phone and all my laptops are fucked up. The dell just has a blue screen, another one won't come on, need new chargers for others. I'm one of those people with money who is still cheap.  

Well you've been missed. Been worried about you due to the heat. Hope you and your family are doing well, and hopefully you can get your laptop(s) up and running soon ❤️
