So... When was bows become outclassed? Look like these guys would be shot dead by any archer worth its money. Rifles of that time was the jokes.

Maybe it just takes a bit longer to learn to use a bow properly, dunno.
>Better range
>Better accuracy (by time)
>Impossible to evade its projectile.
>Can easily shoot moving targets.
>Easier to master
>Also melee weapon

Muskets outranged the shit out of bows.
There's a reason Nomadshits stopped being a problem by the late 16th Century.
Hi guys, i've been trying to find this for a couple of hours but it was in vain. Maybe you could help me.
This old decanter globe has been in my family even before my grandfather was born (He was born here in Argentina in 1922 from Italian fathers)
His fathers were from Italy and came to Argentina in 1882 from the port of Havre in france, they where (I think) from Turin or someplace in the north of Italy.
I've found that the decanter is very similar to what you could find in Google as "French old globe Limoges decanter" Limoges is a place in France where a type of porcelain is made and maybe this globe could have been made there. I think my grandfather grandfather could have bought this in France before embarking in 1882 (The father of my grandfather was 7 in 1882).
The decanter has no trade mark, labels or whatsoever.
But this is the kind of weird part: The political division of the countries in southamerica doesn't correspond to any map of political division I've seen or studied in school or college.
In Europe you can see the Austro-Hungarian Empire wich was disolved in 1914, so this globe must be from before that year.
There's no Paraguay or Bolivia. So the territory is similar to the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata, but Uruguay is already formed, Uruguay as part of the Viceroyalty of Rio de la Plata and Uruguay independence was signed in 1820s.
The contour of the place now called Argentina is very similar to the United Provinces of Rio de la Plata, but I think this decanter can't be from bofore 1825. (To be continued...)
Part Two: Argentina is divided in two Argentina and the Patagonia, were indigenous use to live, so this say that the globe must be from before the Conquest of the Desert (The Conquest of the Desert was a military campaign directed mainly by General Julio Argentino Roca in the 1870s with the intent to establish Argentine dominance over Patagonia, which was inhabited by indigenous peoples. So we killed al the indigenous from the Patagonia during the campaign).
The intrigue is killing me, is this map wrong? it was originaly painted like that? or maybe a kid did the political division just for fun, but if a kid made it I'm sure he would have commited more errors and it wouldn't finish painting the entire globe. Can some help me with this?
More photos are being uploaded.....
What is the greatest human virtue? Is is faith? Is it courage? Is it hope? Is it wisdom? Or... maybe something else? What is your opinion?
Greatest as in its most useful from a biological perspective? I would argue that it is persistence.

Definitely a good choice. Other alternative is being an intelligent, but without both it's a very dead end.
>>1330901
Never giving up or quitting.

>Finland is the only part of the former Russian Empire that didn't reunite with Russia as part of the Soviet Union
How did they do it?
>>1330533
Are you retarded
>>1330533
because Finland has balls
Lenin promised Finland its independance before the revolution started. Of course he did it with the expectation that Finland would turn communist and come back to the communist fold eventually.
Why there is so much population density in the Benelux area? Was it always like that? Was there another regions in Europe that had a very large population densities like this regions, but now have decreased values? If so, why?
>>1330488
>food
>yes
>what values?
>>1330488
It lays on the Rhine delta making it superb farmland. The Netherlands ecspecially is a major producer of food and Dutch are the tallest ethnicity in Europe because historically speaking they've suffered very few famines. Places like the Saxony that touch the Elbe might rival it with Hamburg and Bremen being examples of this. It's also a major hub for seafaring trade due to its location in conjunction with the English Channel and the North Sea.
>>1330488
Pretty much this
>>1330525
These lands are incredibly fertile, to the point where we're in the top 10 agricultural producers on the planet to this very day despite our size.
Also, if you want regions that match us in population density, try this: London, Paris and Mexico City have a total population comparable to that of the Netherlands or Belgium. And they're CITIES.
Has anything replaced God? Some people say money, some people say sex. Of course, science is always a possibility--on that subject, should "science" and "technology' be used interchangeably? When people put science on pedestal, are they really just putting technology on a pedestal? Or this is distinction itself of no importance?

Something something Oswald Spenglar quote about people putting more faith into technology and science
bump
Possibly secular humanism.
>Putting science on a pedestal
The teenagers and redditors who put ""science"" on a pedestal typically just like looking at pictures of an andromeda or a random fact shared by a "WE LOVE SCIENCE" type page on FB or Twitter.

Better follow a deity that's cool with suicide, so your soul will go to their afterlife.

Who was the greatest monarch of England?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNGz6LYY6_g
>This royal throne of kings, this scepter'd isle,
>This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
>This other Eden, demi-paradise,
>This fortress built by Nature for herself
>Against infection and the hand of war,
>This happy breed of men, this little world,
>This precious stone set in the silver sea,
>Which serves it in the office of a wall,
>Or as a moat defensive to a house,
>Against the envy of less happier lands,
>This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England
-John of Gaunt, "Richard II"
>>1330160
There is ONLY one English monarch that is known as "great."
Henry V
>>1330166
That's only becase Athelstan, his grandson, is not more known.
If Puella Magi Madoka Magica was based off reality and in particular, this transcript:
> Would you like me to show you proof? Human and the incubators have shared history together. We have intervened in your civilization's development since prehistoric times. Throughout the ages, countless girls have made contracts with incubators, had their wishes granted and then succumbed to despair.
>Madoka:
Stop it.
>Kyubey:
Beginning with a wish and ending with a curse. It's the cycle every magical girl has repeated up till now. Some have started revolutions that changed history, while others elevated human society to new levels.
>Madoka:
That's enough.
They trusted you. All of them. They trusted you and you betrayed them!
>Kyubey:
Oh no, we weren't the ones who betrayed them.
You could say their wishes did though. Wishes are things that don't exist in the current reality.
And anything that deviates from reality is bound to create a distortion. So why does it surprise anyone that these things end in disaster? It's the natural outcome after all. If they think that's some kind of betrayal, they shouldn't have made the wish in the first place.
Don't get me wrong. I don't think they're foolish. It was thanks to their sacrifices that human society developed as far as it has.
It was the suffering of all the magical girls throughout history that laid the foundation of the life you have now.
If your civilization benefits from their sacrifice, why should the lives of a few people matter in the grand scheme of things?
Which civilisations in history have been most linked to Kyubey and magical girls?
Conversely, which ones are linked?
I like to subscribe to the theory that if Kyubey really was real, he introduced agriculture to humanity, according "The Worst Mistake in the History of the Human Race"
http://www.ditext.com/diamond/mistake.html
I'm thinking the Mongols weren't magical girls, because they were nomads, which made it more impressive.

SHAFT hasn't made a good anime since SZS.
Could Hitler have been a magical girl?
I think not, because he had a moustache, and girls tend to not kill 6 billion Jews
