Can we have a Roman based thread? I want to know more about the Roman Empire, I have pic related and it's been really helpful but I was wondering what /his/ knows about the Roman Empire, whether something funny or not commonly known or just interesting knowledge. I'm attempting to become an expert at Roman culture/history/warfare etc.

How was the life of a poacher in the middle ages?

Specifically were poachers part of a bigger gang or whatever constituted as a gang back then?

Did they have families, and if so how did their families lived compared to the families of serfs and or freemen.

What type of Range weapons did they most commonly used?

And finally what made them into Poachers?

1. Not much different from a forester, just kept to the woods to avoid suspicion of poaching

2. Poaching back in the middle ages was different than today. Instead of hunting tigers or elephants illegally, they just killed some deer on a lords land without permission. Doubtable that it was a very organized thing larger than afew guys dicking around in the forest on the weekend.

3. They probably had some other person (wife?) process or cook the meat or make furs into clothing whilst the man hunted. Keep in mind one has to live near deep forests to make poaching viable, so likely just some cabin by the woods with your wife or some mates.

4. Bows/Crossbows with appropriate ammo for hunting, what would you expect?

5. Money, Apathy for abiding his lordships rules, food, it really all depends on circumstance.

But aren't forester patrolling the woodlands on a lord property? How would they avoid them?

>2. Poaching back in the middle ages was different than today. Instead of hunting tigers or elephants illegally, they just killed some deer on a lord's land without permission. Doubtable that it was a very organized thing larger than a few guys dicking around in the forest on the weekend.
I thought it would be more since it would be a lucrative business to make some coin.

>3. They probably had some other person (wife?) process or cook the meat or make furs into clothing whilst the man hunted. Keep in mind one has to live near deep forests to make poaching viable, so likely just some cabin by the woods with your wife or some mates.
And would they sell that meat at some market in town? or would he give the meat to the villagers in exchange for some favors? Also, did they have children if they were in did married?

>4. Bows/Crossbows with appropriate ammo for hunting, what would you expect?
I don't know something more concealable? Slingshots, or some traps

Not him but I'l try to answer anyway

There weren't that many, the lord would rather spend manpower to guard roads and settlements because that's where the money was. Forests back then were very large and even today you could go to a nearby forest and kill some fucking rabbit with no one catching sight of you, even if you shoot a gun.

>2
For most of the medieval period in catholic europe the peasants didn't own land, they worked on their lord's land and they kept a tiny portion of grain which they could sell to buy clothes, beer, whores, etc, or they could save for the winter as to not starve. This leads me to believe that poaching was really common during the winter, and you'd poach more for the food than you would for the cheap furs.

>3
They'd sell the meat to butchers, or they'd store it and eat it most likely. The furs would likely be sold to the merchants and craftsmen in towns, but they could trade furs for cheese or wine or whatever else. I think most poachers were actual peasants and weren't living a full on life of delinquency, so they'd probably have families and shit.

Javelins were the most common hunting weapon as far as I know, maybe because any dusty little pointy stick does the same job as an expensive bow or slingshot.

The first recognizable ancestor of a suit was the Babylonian بدلة which was widely worn by the merchant class.

In the Napoleonic era, the mass mobilisation of the population in the Grande Armée left it's imprint on the population. Employers demanded the standardization and professionalism that army costume inspired from all of their employees. This gradually morphed into the modern day suit.

This picture is Epicurus'.

Prohairesis is about having good judgement on what is good and what is not.

This KFC chicken is delicious => True
So, this KFC chicken is good food and you should eat it => Not True

It is not because something tastes good that you should eat it. Also, if eating KFC makes you more likely to be addicted to fatty foods and less likely to eat healthy, but bland food, you should not eat it. The best scenario happens if you are as satisfied by eating bland food as you would be eating KFC.

or

Sex feels good => True
So, having sex is good and you should do it as much as you can => not True

It is not because it feels good that you should do it. You don't want to become one of those people who become crazy if they can't have sex, or that do crazy things in order to have it. The best scenario happens if you are as fine having sex as not having it.

Then, what is good? The only good is virtue. Virtue can make you happy no matter what happens.

Take a look at Brad Pitt here.

https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/3475448/brad-pitt-alcohol-battle-struggles-with-emotion-angelina-jolie/

He is rich. He can have any kind of pleasure he wants. He is very good looking and could have as many good looking women he wanted. He is loved and admired by millions of people and has a great status. He was married to a woman who was voted plenty of times "World's Most Beautiful Woman". Yet, if you look at his interview, no matter how great of a man he is, he still does not look very happy. All of those things that we consider as goods are not goods.

Thank you that clarifies it have a (you)

Have you asked yourself how the body and other organisms have survived for millions and millions of years?

It is not just the brain but each cell in their body has memory. This 'physical knowledge' is passed down through the genes. That way the organism learns how to survive and is essentially immortal.

When there is an obstacle, the body knows exactly how to handle it, but usually we are taught how to be and some of it is helpful but the rest is mostly rubbish because the knowledge you have gathered is never there to help you in times of real, physical crisis.

What of the current obstacle that plagues most 1st world countries? The problem of abundance. Abundance has only existed on the macroscale for as long as agriculture, at most, and our bodies have no fucking clue whats going on. Paola pack on all this useless fat and become obese because their bodies are storing the excess, assuming famine will strike soon. Mental illness arises from far too much time spent in thought. Language traps leave the helpless spellbound to dangerous memes such as nationalism etc. Will we adapt in time before the great cataclysm? I hope so

>>3055364
theres nothing wrong with the body, theres everything wrong with the conceptual rubbish we feed it with to 'help' it.
Im telling you it has survived for millions of years and you think it cant handle this modern day nonsense

You are treating evolution as though it has a thought process. Evolution occurs when random mutations are tested through natural selection.

Why did Japan attack the US? I know that they were embargoed and hoped to destroy their Pacific fleet in Hawaii but didn't they realise that even if they did the Americans could simply make more ships quickly seeing how strong their industry was. Then why did they do it? They could have kept on going even if the Americans continued to embargo them and ,probably, Americans wouldn't intervene as long as they didn't threaten them directly.

Also why did Hitler declare war on the US after Pearl Harbor? Japan and Germany weren't obliged to help each other in war so why did he drag a sleeping giant into a war Americans wanted to avoid?

Japan was being a retard and thought that if they hurt the American pacific fleet enough the Americans would ally with Japan, or strike a peace deal. It was full on retard by the admiral.

And Hitler was just being an autist
>>
>>3055187
The Japanese plan was to take a bunch of islands and use them as natural aircraft carriers to btfo any American fleet attack, this didn't work at all
>>
The reason it makes absolutely no sense is because it never happened. The US wanted to expand its empire and spread their influence into east Asia while testing out its new toys, ao they decided to orchestrate a false flag attack. One of many in this despicable nation's history.

It was popular in general before WW2
In germany it will most likely have had a surge during Hitlers period of power.

But after the war, and during in enemy nations I would assume, it diminished greatly due to not wanting to be associated with it anymore, obviously.
