The Roman Empire would be an interesting civilization. I've sometimes imagined what would happen if the Roman Empire still existed today.

Another one, although chaotic as hell, would be the Three Kingdoms Era in China or the Sengoku Period of Japan. I'm Asian, so I feel like I need to explore more of my culture more since I am not too familiar with it. Those two eras are highly romanticized and I'm interested in it.

Quality of life is higher now than it’s ever been (despite the current pandemic, of course)

I’d probably do fine in classical Rome. It helps that I speak Latin and their conceptions of race would be more lenient than others of the period.

My coworker’s friend who I met a couple years ago liked me. He kissed me as the bar closed, but we didn’t exchange numbers.

I asked my coworker if he is single, he said “He sure is!” and gave me his number. We texted briefly but then didn’t respond when I asked if he had any fun plans this wknd. Now idk what to do.
