ARGUMENT
Should I? How insecure a career path is academia in general? How easy would it be for a woman to balance raising future children out with being a historian? Any historians here to offer advice? thanks!
Why are there so many women at colleges these days?
Why is the pay gap a big deal when men's salaries have been falling at a similar rate to the one at which women's salaries have been increasing, if we look at the past 20 years?
Tbqh 90% of my female classmates have been wannabe demagogues.
Do it only if you have a sufficiently North African- or Middle Eastern-sounding family name, and marry a good man.

The pay gap is a big deal because it is a political tool to smash over people's heads. If you deny it matters or dispute its authenticity, you're a sexist. If you're not actively fighting for change you are probably a sexist too. In the eyes of the activists, I mean.
As for OP, the woman thing won't be an issue, almost every university you can think of will go out of their way to support maternity leave, and be as pro-woman as possible.
But it will be on you ultimately to make sure you can balance child-rearing and study and work. Some universities have day-cares, suitable family accommodation to rent, and are willing to be as understanding as they can be, but you still have to pay the fees and pass and shit.

how do i convert
>>991263
Call or email your local parish priest, tell him that you're interested in Orthodox with a possible goal of conversion. He'll probably arrange a meetup, and you guys can take it from there.
It's not like Catholicism where you go to RCIA classes. The spiritual Elder is considered to be of critical importance in the Orthodox Church, so most of the lessons will probably be one is on one.
I been thinking about converting. Recently with the new pope and reading up on Orthodoxy I feel like I am drifting away from the catholic church due to the new pope. I do however feel like I would be betraying my heritage by doing this, as my ancestors died for catholicism.

If your model corresponds to concrete reality more than any other then it's more true.

How did shirts and pants (and dress variations thereof) become the only proper menswear?
Clothing like pic related has the following advantages over shirt and pants I can think of:
-objectively more comfortable
-easier to produce
-one size fits most
-comfortable for 3 seasons
-Good leg coverage for walking in brush
-Gives good sun protection, and is cooler than long pants and long sleeve shirt
-underwear optional
The only significant disadvantages that I can think of is:
-Could get stuck in heavy machinery
It looks dumb. That's why.

Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Since helicopters and ATGMs came onto the scene the death of the tank has been predicted, it has not happened yet.
>What are your favorite tank(s) in history?
France's S35, it was always a nice little tank I can appreciate & I'd like to say the Tiger II even though it was a mess to fix if it were to break down on the field.
>>981611
Well to be fair there haven't been any HUGE protracted armor battles since WW2.
Even in desert storm the Iraqis got their shit kicked by waves of TOWs from Apaches even before they met one American tank.
Tanks won't go away, they'll just be unmanned and probably lighter armored. Land mobile drones.
If life is inherently meaningless; and if it's all I can do to find a comfortable rut and distract myself with the pursuit of meaningless knowledge; with someone who I've convince myself I love because I wanted to fuck them twenty years ago, which I've convinced myself constitutes love or with alcohol and other drugs and wait to die, does that mean I can never be better than an alcoholic or a jakey? And if so, what point is there in continuing to live?
In short, if life has no inherent meaning what reason is there not to become a total hedonist?
And if you don't care for total hedonism what reason is there to continue living?
The point is non-existence is scarier than existence.
>>994863
No it isn't.
If we can't experience non-existence how can we be frightened of it?
Why didn't the Austrians give a shot at colonialism?
>>993974
They colonized Hungary and Romania.
>>993974
That's a huge colonial empire tho.
They went with expansion over colonialism
Turns out it's easier to just subjugate stone-age natives than it is incorporating other civilized people into your country.
Can we all agree that nations/nationalism/patriotism has no inherent value beyond the ideals and agreements that they serve to protect and uphold?
In the end everything really boils down to three things. Money, Race and Religion
>>993477
no

>Can we all agree
I doubt it. On anything.
I did this threat before and I got a lot of nice posters, so I figure I'd do this again.
I'm a graduate history student and my particular field is, broadly speaking, American intervention in Southeast Asia between 1945 and 1975. I can try to answer any questions you have about American involvement in Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Just keep in mind that I don't know as much about Southeast Asian communist movements as I would like, but I do know a little.
I can also suggest books and authors if you want a summer reading list.
Is anything America did back then related to the Southeast Asia pivot that Obama's Administration has been on about lately?
>Laos
What are they? Have they participated or accomplished anything of note outside of being a marching path for NVA?

why did you study boring history instead of interesting history?
Was life in the USSR really AS BAD as it's portrayed in the west? My mom keep insisting that all things considered, people generally lived happier and more fulfilling/satisfying lives under socialist rule, at least in the urban regions.
>>992352
I mean, to be fair, Russia is still a shithole, so that wouldn't be saying much.
>>992352
>Was life in the USSR really AS BAD as it's portrayed in the west?
Yes.
>My mom keep insisting that all things considered, people generally lived happier and more fulfilling/satisfying lives under socialist rule, at least in the urban regions.
Unfortunately, your mother has bought into either Stalin's propaganda or leftist revisionism. How old is she?
>>992352
Firstly, clarify how "AS BAD" you are talking about.
Secondly, USSR was a very diverse country when it came to quality of life. Baltic republics were good, Moscow was good, republican capitals were okay but shit like small towns in central Russia was stuff of nightmares, as far as I know.
