when people ask me if i’d want to live in ancient rome, i tell them no, and i usually explain it with something like “oh i couldn’t live without electricity,” or “life was not great for women back then,” or something similar, but the real reason i couldn’t live in ancient rome is because those fuckers didn’t have commas, and if i couldn’t include an extreme overabundance of commas in my writing, both for the sake of clarity and so that i could add a number of pointless asides, i think i’d pretty much die
