wana date a paleontologist so i can do a phylogenetics routine in foreplay. i genuinely think it'd be cute to include fun facts about the evolution of the bone structure while you're caressing a partner lmao

watching videos on spooky scary prehistoric animals and my confidence in the people is so strong i'm just like: nah we could get that MF. predatory whale sized sea lizard? we'd get their ass with pointy sticks and barely modified plant fibers, on god. fucking allosaurus never heard of encirclement tactics and projectiles, his ass is cooked. sabre tooth cat? look at the scoreboard motherfucker

i was promised ublock plus corrupting advertiser data, adnauseum is supposed to be built atop ublock in some way, but it seems to just work worse shrug-outta-hecks

can they really leverage something like Greece on the second economy of the EU? and how well can capital actually avoid tax while staying within the benefits of the EU? if it were elementary to cart off to a more friendly EU country wouldn't EU firms be swirling between memberstates after like every election?

i guess i'm not really disputing the structure of development of land but the "amount of money they can charge us" from OP is governed by more than how much is built

because it's not just development/construction, it's also rent which can be changed more readily than building new housing. unless all the rentiers are in on a cartel, there's an incentive for gaining competitive advantage by undercutting the others

 

true archvillainy requires the wisdom of volcel juche

 

videos, short books, etc. im looking for it as supplementary resources for other reading im doing, i don't need intricate histories of scholars just what the schools are, why they're different, how that manifested in politics

 

hoping for some basic, short answers from the socialist perspective before i have to look at big books like literally called "The National Question in Yugoslavia"

for context i understand basically nothing about post-ottoman developments in the balkans, so feel free to start with what the fuck a 'Yugoslavia' was supposed to be before socialism too.

stalin-heart thanks in advance you wise Hexbeariens

 

Pantjikent is in the Zeravshan valley, and served as a capital for sogdiana at a few points. notice the elements of buddhist, iranian, and turkic/chinese influence

 

look at my recommends dawg why do i even bother going onto that site

 

you shouldnt let poets lie to you

 

2 of you that click on this do not realise that 2020 was 3 years ago. almost 4

 

specifically right now/recently. what are the recruitment paths, who do they draw? has it changed much? how different is the officers' disposition from the enlisted?

im reading about the Grande Armeé rn so naturally im curious about existing systems

 

i really hoped it was exaggerated but damn, comrades. this a british movie with british sympathies and unforgivably british casting

these fuckers didn't even try! yankee accents standing in for the french, i could accept, so long as they were different from the motherfucking english. but HALF of the french characters are fucking british?!?!?!

under spoilers for space, there is not anything to be 'spoiled' from this:

spoilercomically miscast historical personages who we've got dozens of portraits of:

Alexander of Russia, unaccountably not bald

Francis of Austria, unaccountably fat

Robespierre played by a man who was made to look exactly like Danton???

and the salt in the wound is of course, The Duellists. a film of infinitely superior historical calibre and consistency from the SAME fucking director.

character assassination of the Comité de Salut Public (typical of a fucking englishman)

caricature of both Thermidor and Brumaire, which you wouldn't think is possible as they were of utterly separate political persuasions, but of course they did that

a calculated removal of the Revolutionary Calendar

no effort whatsoever, in fact intentional mystification around the nature and sympathies of the imperial nobility, trying to play it like it was a return of the Ancien Regime

i did like that Talleyrand was shown to be a devil on the shoulder, but it was not treated with that he was a traitorous sleaze

finally, things i liked:

1792 issue french uniforms appeared in limited edition at Toulon

1798 issue austrian did as well, though apparently only for voltiguers/jaegers at austerlitz?

Thomas-Alexandre Dumas appeared in multiple scenes, but was not named which is super fucking awful

Josephine had a prominent role. and yes, we could do a whole additional post about how anachronistic the women's costumes were, but she generally looked very cute and i'm grasping at straws for things to appreciate here

 

i mean they're probably just a demsoc but damn, it's some nice agitprop putting things into perspective

 

There's many more mosaics this is just one i found while researching romans and their exotic animal keeping.

 

this is compelling in a lot of ways.

this is Childeric III, the last puppet merovingian. the mark of merovingian kingship was--quite uncommonly in history--the longest hair. he is being shorn and involuntarily entered into monastery, a treatment common to defeated claimants to the merovingian kingship. he was the last, though, so there's a finality to it
