How do you tell whether a person is actually part of a group and saying they aren't is a no true scotsman fallacy, or if that person really isn't part of that group despite that person saying so?
You grow up and stop using informal fallacies
>>370527
You clearly defines what it means to be part of said group, of course.
No true Scotsman is a fallacious fallacy. Or at least the example of a Scotsman is.
A Scotsman is a man with Scottish Nationality. Duh. I don't care if you think a man of African origin living in Scotland isn't Scottish, you're not the legal governing body deciding it.
The phrase should be No true Christian or some shit.
Today marks the 74th anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
Let's get a thread on the war in the Pacific going.
Reminder that Japan surrendered solely due to the thread of Russian invasion.
Sorry to Fattyclaps, but maybe you can find a nice buffet to distract you from the uncomfortable truth.
>russians invading Japanese islands
>ever
Maybe after 15 years or so

We should have nuked then again, then. The fucking yellow peril is real.
Is this a good /his/ book? I'm going on a trip and I want something /his/ related to read.
Also, anyone have any other interesting /his/ related books to suggest?

Literally my bible

This is one of my favorites
If there is a god, why should it be Catholicism, Protestantism, Judaism, Sunni, Shia, etc that monopolises what 'god' is?
In other words, lets assume that you definitely believe in a deity - why should you then have to follow any of the pre-established religions instead of ending your belief in a god right there?
God can mean many things and is up to many interpretations, and it does not equal religion.
You are confusing God with faith with religion
well you don't have to
>>370342
Because God would want us to know about His existence (otherwise we wouldn't be sapient), which in turn implies that one of the religions has to be true.
>"The Bible is none other than the voice of Him that sitteth upon the Throne! Every Book of it, every Chapter of it, every Verse of it, every word of it, every syllable of it ... every letter of it, is the direct utterance of the Most High!" - John William Burgon
how do you respond?

"Is this man Coniah a despised broken idol? is he a vessel wherein is no pleasure? wherefore are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which they know not?
O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD.
Thus saith the LORD, Write ye this man childless, a man that shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah. "
And then I point out that Matthew includes Jeconiah in Jesus' geneology.

i dont, the man is a raving lunatic
That's, like, your opinion man. Also, the bible was put together by a bunch of clergymen over a period of centuries.
Why is being transgender more socially acceptable than being transracial when race is a social concept and gender/sex has physical connotations?
>race is a social construct
Please leave
>>370173
While it does have physical connotations as well, genetically there's not very much of a difference. I used to deny it too, but then I did some research
>>370171
Because racial identity isn't accepted as something someone just happens to have, whereas gender identity is an irreducible part of a person.
You are only black or white because others see you as such, but you are male or female because of the way you see yourself.
How do you actually "get into" history without taking a class? I tried watching documentaries of some subjects but I feel like it only gives me an incomplete picture. It isn't like a continuity in a fictional universe that you can follow one installment at a time and then know everything about. There is just too much happening at once to follow one country's events without knowing all the other country's events. I know much of the basics already but I want to start researching it in-depth.
>>370147
Read books then read more books.
Idk, I learned to code by reading C++ so I'm pretty spergy like that
>>370147
ever heard of a library?
>>370147
>How do I learn? Real life is not like my animes
Mods are asleep, post rockers.
YOU THOUGHT WRONG!
Tsundere, Heidegger, and Me is a Light Novel series about philosophers living in Japan as cute girls
-Leftmost: Heidegger

-Upper Girl: Spinoza
-Loli: Nietzsche
-Left of Loli: Hegel
-Right of Loli: Kant
-Lesbians: Berkley and Hume
>“Decartes is a haughty princess, Nietzsche is yandere, Heidegger is a long-haired cultural club leader.”
OK, but is it worth my time?

Could the Mongols have made it to the Atlantic had the Khan not died?
They had beaten the fuck out of every European force until the time of the khans death and then chose to stop invading
>>369978
Central and Western Europe doesn't bode well for horse archer armies.
If they moved quickly enough yes. As soon as they moved their army West though, the Mongol Empire would have been on borrowed time due to rebellion back in the East.
>>369978
They showed promise and the ability to beat any army they faced. I'm not sure if they had enough men to hold an empire of that size. I suspect they would have been waylaid by the Germanic tribes in the northern forests.
Where did it go so wrong? Or was it just doomed to fail from the start?
1. Rushed creation because bongs just decided to leave suddenly
