Was Britain still less urbanized than Ancient Rome at its height by 1750, right before the beginning of the industrial revolution?

Scotland was, definitely

Define urbanized
More buildings? Absolutely. The 1730s saw the rise of neo Gothic architecture, the kind that has become distinctly British. London of 1750 was infinity superior to Rome. We also had far more major cities

Why did conformity in the way people dress completely disappear in the last 50 years

Because people discovered freedom

Maybe greater awareness of different clothing styles due to mass media.
Greater availability of fashions.
Also many musical subcultures have distinctive dress codes, and a more casual society is accepted.
Then again your premise might not even be valid, was there necessarily a stricter dress code 50 years ago? Where?

In more urban areas all men wore a button up shirt and slacks or a suit, and in rural areas, you pretty much wore overalls.
Is there any ideology that can properly accommodate sociopaths or people who don't feel empathy?

They're tyrannical ideologues and they refuse to use lethal force in numerous situations it would make things much easier.
I would also be a tyrannical ideologue, but I'd be upfront about it.

How did the Greeks govern all of this? It wasn't as if they had any experience governing humongous Empires before, and with a hostile foreign populace? The Romans had the system of governors and praetors and quaestors etc etc to keep the roads paved and free of bandits, to secure the grain supplies, the subdue rebellions, etc, but how did the Greeks pull it off? Did they just copy the Persian satrap system?

Talk to me about giants, /his/. Like ghosts, vampires, and (sort of) dragons, they're a feature of pretty much every culture's mytho-historical heritage. Is it all just due to random occurrences of gigantism in normal humans? Is there any chance at all something more was going on?

Depents on the time you are talking about. That term is now used for 1000 years on different groups.For example in modern polnish Druzyna is used for a squad team.

/pol/ will tell you the Finnish were white in a case of severe we-wuzism, but both were actually Mongoloid. They will try to explain away Finnish Mongoloid genes as rape babies, but the Finnish were Mongoloid all along. What happened was the Finnish empire was pushed back by the white exodus when Yakub's white devils were expelled to Europe, and they retreated to Finland. This is why only only find the Mongoloid gene in Finland.

Pretty interesting. Film was screened to the Allied leaders only days after the invasion and then lost in the archives after being miscatalogued.

I've always wondered if film of the bloodier sections of beach ever existed, but hidden for obvious reasons.
