Seneca the Younger (c. 4 BC – AD 65), fully Lucius Annaeus Seneca and also known simply as Seneca (/ ˈ s ɛ n ɪ k ə /), was a Roman Stoic philosopher, statesman, dramatist, and—in one work—satirist from the Silver Age of Latin literature. Seneca was born in Corduba in Hispania, and raised in Rome, where he was trained in rhetoric. Lucius annaeus seneca biography.

It's National Sibling Day, and you know what that means: Post after post celebrating loving sibling relationships, conveniently ignoring all the purple nurples and fistfights most siblings get into over the years. But if cutesy Facebook posts aren't your style, don't worry; spamming your sibling(s) with hilarious brother memes is a great way to show that you're thinking of them on National Sibling Day, without actually having to talk about your feelings. Perhaps more importantly, a true meme spam is a tried-and-true method of irritating someone from afar — so you can send your sibling some love and annoy them to no end when they wake up to 67 notifications on their phone. It's a win-win.

A way of describing cultural information being shared. An element of a culture or system of behavior that may be considered to be passed from one individual to another by nongenetic means, especially imitation.

As someone who has a sister and a brother, I grew up with the best of both worlds: An older sister to introduce me to the cool older crowd in school, and a younger brother to embarrass every time we were in public together. One of my fondest memories is the horror in his eyes when I picked him up from a friend's house in purple eyeliner and rainbow-striped fingerless gloves. Of course, he got me back later by sticking his smelly foot in my face on the drive back, but that's just how sibling relationships roll. You're allowed to annoy the heck out of each other because, very deep down, you know you love each other. (This admission is going to cost me next time I see my brother, but I've made my peace with that fact.)

So let's celebrate National Sibling Day in the best way possible: With memes upon memes about brotherhood.

It's an endless cycle of one-upmanship.

However, it must be said that a professional astrologer will consider far more than merely the positions of the planets when interpreting a chart wheel - he or she will aim to bring the different components into context and integrate them into a bigger picture.

And yet somehow he knows whenever you post an unflattering bar photo and immediately shows it to your parents. (To be fair, this goes both ways.)

He'll come check on you in a second, but sportsball comes first.

How do you not have an opinion on the Gilmore Girls revival?How?? There must have been a switch-up at the hospital.

It's a beautiful rite of passage.

The best thing about older siblings is shamelessly copying their actions — I mean, following in their footsteps.

Opening the wrong Christmas present is akin to a declaration of war.

Don't tell anyone, but I guess brothers are kinda cool.

Geek culture calls it “Sportsball”Over the past few years I’ve noticed at the beginning of football season that the geek culture brings back this sportsball meme. It’s the non-jock segment of geek culture (which is a very large percentage) perpetuating this.It sounds something like this: “One squad has done something to please those attending the sportsball match.”Okay, it has a bit of humor at first, but on further reflection it’s actually quite offensive.

Let me explain.Members of the geek culture tend to be non-conformists, sometimes not accepted by the majority in high school. I know I put up with a lot because people thought what I did was stupid or a waste of time and it didn’t conform to their interests or priorities.So, calling any athletic game “sportsball” is a declaration of pride over being ignorant about sports. But, it also says sports does not conform to my interests or priorities, thus it is stupid and a waste of time.Wow, that sounds exactly like what people said about watching Star Trek or playing Dungeons and Dragons. How is this any different? It’s still a proclamation of “I’m better than you.” Being directed at jocks and armchair quarterbacks doesn’t make it any less bullying than what was directed at us for seeing Star Wars umpteen times.Consider that there is a not insignificant segment of geek culture who are avid sports fans. Martin is a big NFL football fan. Scott Sigler is such a big sports fan and geek that he wrote a series of books mashing football and science fiction.

Plenty of European writers are big fans of futbol (aka soccer). Proclaiming sportsball is an insult to the segment of geek culture who also have sports inside their Venn diagram.I don’t see how these two cultures are mutually exclusive. My observation is the vast majority of “sportsball” talk comes from the gaming segment of geek culture, which doesn’t make sense. Gamers use their minds, rely on strategy and tactics to use their fictional assets to to meet a goal. Coaches rely strategy and tactics of player assets to meet a goal. It’s the same thing.Think about that. It offends a segment of your own, and they really don’t deserve to be offended.
