until early empire legion,
did they wear panties?
no. pants are for uncivilized savages.
No why would they? As long as you aren't riding a horse you don't need pants
It always baffled me why leg protection was disregarded prominantly in ancient warfare. The leg might be a harder target to hit than the torso or arms, and has the benefit of being shielded better, but still.
Historical figures whose ass your pretty sure you could beat?
For me, I pick Pedro II of Brazil. I can just imagine him coming at me like he's going to talk his way out of the imminent ass whooping and then I just pounce and start fucking wailing on him. I'm pretty sure I could put this dude 6 feet under, no contest
You?

Is it really his dick?
How exactly did they get it?
Did Rasputin cuck the zar?
>>1349986
>Is it really his dick?
Probably not.
>How exactly did they get it?
There's a whole story about its travels, but they're inconsistent with the object in the jar.
>>1349992
>Did Rasputin cuck the zar?
In the broad 4chan sense of the term wherein he was played, then yes. But no, in the sense that he probably never stuck his dick in Alexandra.

Gregori was not a pleb, he did not wasted time fucking the tsar old wife, he probably was a fellow cunny bro.

You forgot his best quote: This agglomeration which was called and which still calls itself the Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire.
What are the most important concepts that we must consider when we talk about Plato?
Please explain to me

muh forms
>>1349872
OP: Explain to me the theory of forms
>>1349882
A form is a metaphysical template that the material draws from to become what it is. The form of beauty makes things beautiful. The form of blue makes things blue. The form of large makes things large. And so on.

Rationing
How did it happen? No memes, please don't post that dumb green text about aliens.
How did England (Britain/UK if you insist on pretending it wasn't just England and here vassal states.) conquer India, not just "India" as we know it tosay but the India in the pic.
Book and Documentary recommendations would be good.

Those are pretty good desu pham, but I would like to know about the conquest.
>>1349541
England never conquered India, it ruled it in an alienince with local indian elites. They had a ready made army which the illegitimate indian states were allowed to use to oppress the population they were supposed to be governing.
>>1349541
India wasn't a unified country back in those days, there were hell lot of kings and nawabs who were always ready to fight each other, English used this for their own benefit and conquered eastern India pretty easily,after that it was just a matter of time before traitors started joining them and they started expanding their territories.... They faced tough opposition only in Northern/Southern India which they conquered anyways with some diplomacy and advanced warfare.
All in all Indians were assholes at that...

same reason most empires conquer.
Internal division, distrust/dislike of the previous ruling parties.
Britain had the extra benefit of being able to shoot them without them being able to shoot back.
Free will is one's imagination of possible outcomes and actions. These actions might not be logical or might not be possible physically but one can still imagine oneself doing them or attempting to do them.
Even If im in a cell and its locked i can still imagine myself breaking the bars and escaping but when i physically try i might not succeeed.
Now, One's personal experience is not reducible to neuroscience and the physical workings of the human brain as percieved externally nor can it be fully simulated.
A full simulation is exactly the full experiece...

While I agree, if free will doesn't exist (I believe it does), one can still say your imagination of possible outcomes was determined.
Who controls this will? Some magical soul?
Thanks theists.
>>1349491
In what way? you cannot know a person, you cannot get intside his head and be him which is the only full determining simulation. It determines itself it is expereincing in time.
You can determine how its neurons are firing but not the experience as the experience itself is the determination.
Nor is it determined anymore than you trying to determine your next actions. It is its own determinator.
What's your favorite CIA coup?
I personally like the removal of Patrice Lumumba, a potential Communist who ran for election in the Congo. Swift and effective.
>In the election of Patrice Lumumba, and his acceptance of Soviet support, the CIA saw another possible Cuba. This view swayed the White House. Eisenhower ordered that Lumumba be "eliminated". The CIA delivered a quarter of a million dollars to Joseph Mobutu, their favorite horse in the race. Mobutu delivered Lumumba to the Belgians, the former colonial masters of Congo,...

Only the generation today can find itself so far up its own ass that it finds praising the CIA as radical

Definitely that time that those spooks couped a country and it went to shit :DD
So why does no one mention the several attacks Poles made on Germans when discussing the invasion of Poland? Because that is a Casus Belli for war and if anything means it was a German war of Polish aggression.
No, i'm not memeing, just wondering why you never hear of those attacks.

Being a crossbowman during a siege would be the shit I would love to snipe some dumb fucking knights and worthless infantrymen with their garbage meme melee weapons. What even was the fucking point of knights and infantry if projectile weapons fucked them up lmao medieval people truly were idiots.
Are we being invaded? Three crossbow threads up.

No one, you just made up that bullshit by yourself
It is known that one of the biggest issues with democracy is the fact that it treats all citizens as equals, despite the fact that inequality exists within each one of us.
How do we deal with this issue, in a way that is not only effective, but could also realistically be implemented?

Kill the rich people.
Cancer exists in all of us too, doesn't mean we should all embrace cancer.
So is it safe to say destiny exist in a way? I don't mean a story written by some god but the life is clearly random, we have no power over who will we be born as and where and it's obvious that for example African born in some war torn country will have a dog shit life and he simply cannot change it not to mention genetics also determine our character so life is nothing more than unfair dice roll and once you're born everything is set in motion and free will was proven to be non existing so you have no other choice but to endure the ride or kill yourself.
>>1349052
Genetics do not translate into action. Imo as shitty as things might be, you can change whichever is yours to change. Unless you are in a comma, you can do something.
haha yeah dude maybe who even knows
>>1349075
Having few limited options is hardly being actually in control of life.
