Long time Lurker first time poster. Help me out here /his/. I was raised to judge people by merit and not differences. Then i see this bullshit: Honestly, Sometimes I'm Uncomfortable With My Children Making White Friends

As a homosexual( yeah yeah op i a fag) i saw the resistance to assimilation and equality evaporate once gays stopped centering their identity on their differences. I expect that its something to do with the minority subcultures and how adversarial they may or may not be. But if a black friend had this rant at me, after the shock, I'd kindly remove them from my life. What's a cogent rebuttal? What's your opinions?
just do whatever you like dude

Many gays are anti-assimilationist.
You're acting like those "I'm not like those other girls" types and it's gross pandering

Had the invention of the piano really captured the imaginations of people to such extent, that the harpsichord (and clavichord) was deemed obsolete? In the 1700s, the two coexisted for a time, but the piano eclipsed it in popularity towards the end of the century, and in the early 1800s, harpsichords largely ceased to be built. What exactly explains why the harpsichord lost so much of its popularity, besides the novelty of a new keyboard instrument? Couldn't there be more to this story than that?
>>2967519
I listen to harpsichord music more than piano music. Gustav Leonhardt was very good. It's the only proper way to listen to Bach music.
It had been in use for many centuries already. The harpsichord player can not vary in dynamics (hard or soft): everything is equally loud.
There was the clavichord which did have variable dynamics but the instrument was incredibly soft overall, softer than a lute.
The first pianos were called 'pianaforte' or 'fortepiano', i.e. 'soft and loud' because it had a paddle which shifted the keyboard slightly so less strings would be played.
Loud/soft was very important for the prevailing stile at that time: galant and empfindsamer stil. It became rather popular among Bach's children and spread also to places like Vienna so Mozart could learn it. He actually also still played spinet/clavichord if I remember correctly.
JS Bach was probably a freemason in the last few years of his life, or at least was in contact with many of them. Definitely CPE was and he introduced him to some fellows. Mozart was a freemason too.
Perhaps the instrument spread within these circles first since Bach endorsed and supervised the development of the instrument. The first time that builder, I forgot his name but it's something like Christofori, came to him with a 'pianeforte', Bach wasn't pleased yet. Only some years later when working at the court did he approve of its developed new state.
Bach also owned two 'lautenwercken' which are believed to have been harpsichords with the body of a lute and gut strings, so it would sound similar to a lute.

Depends on if the corpse consents or not.
well, as long as the decedent stated they were ok with it then I don't really see a problem
Is there a single military force that can beat the Roman legions at their peak?
hard mode: pre-gunpowder
>>2966897
Parthians, G*rmanics, and Sassy Nids did.
>>2966897
Parthians, Carthaginians, Germanic barbarians and Romans. That's all I can think of.
>>2966897
Pretty much any medieval force worth their salt. Shock cavalry and crossbows completely changed warfare.

Hey guys! All questions online are over a decade old it seems, but I'm curious if anyone knows about detecting in England. I never found anything in the states, but now that I'm stationed here I'm seeing all these cool, cheap 15th century coins in shops.
How do I do this legally? Just find a farmer outside and ask politely? Could also offer to help on the farm for a bit? I imagine the beach is gone? I'm very tempted to go to a river on the Norfolk/Suffolk border near the coast with a Roman fort. It's listen on the Queen's estate, which can technically be detected on, but I'm 200% positive police would stop me if the see me from a Roman fort.
Primarily interested in WW2 stuff and coins. I've already got something lined up to find military leftovers, I know a friend who has property on an old USSAF base.
>tfw the staffordshire hoard was discovered by an amateur metal detector
>>2966227
I tried to detect for a while in Georgia but couldn't find a thing. People there are a lot more protective of their property and there's a lot less history. Just looking at a map of the crown estate areas though, I see a split in the river on the old county border right near the coast. Looks like a lot of farmland now but imagine it could've been a city.
I just feel really weird asking a random farmer if I can dig on his field. Would feel much better if I saw him on a tractor, which is what I'll probably look for.
>>2966217
I used to go detecting with my dad in and around the Iron Age and Roman forts of South Oxfordshire and most farmers are cool if you ask them first. Tho if you find any treasures (gold ect) they legally belong to the Queen. Oh and also get an OS map of the area so you can mark were you find stuff.
Can we have a thread about Banana Republics?
>>2965941
Are there even any left?
My local mall used to have one but it closed down years ago.
Haven't seen any since.
I mostly just go to H&M now.
>>2965941
a lot of the central american ruling classes, i.e. the true banana republics, were g*rmans. really makes you think....
Did my senior paper on Banana Wars. US started out with geopolitical and even moralistic intentions leading up to the Spanish-American War. The Monroe Doctrine was upheld mostly because travelling across the Atlantic. By the time I sucked less with steam ships, American was becoming an economic power house and was eyeing to "liberate Cuba". The splendid lil war was all fine and good until Taft started disregarding the strategy laid out by Alfred Mahan. This is when Central America started going to shit because Taft's use of financial leverage (dollar diplomacy) gave the greenlight for domination of private interest. This exploded under Wilson until FDR put a cap on it because of the Great Depression.

>A new study by Stephen Broadberry of Oxford University, Hanhui Guan of Peking University and David Daokui Li of Tsinghua University in Beijing argues that China has indeed lagged behind Europe for centuries. It compares levels of GDP per person in China, England, Holland, Italy and Japan since around the year 1000. It finds the only period when China was richer than the others was during the 11th century. By that time China had invented gunpowder, the compass, movable type, paper money and the blast furnace.
>But according to Mr Broadberry and his co-authors, Italy had caught up with China before 1300, and Holland and England by 1400. Around 1800 Japan overtook China as the richest Asian country. Chinese GDP per person fell relentlessly during the Qing dynasty (1644-1912). In 1620, it was roughly the same as it had been in 980. By 1840, it had fallen by almost a third (see chart).
>These findings challenge a hitherto common belief that China and Europe had similar living standards for centuries until the West’s industrial revolution began in the late 18th century: a point often referred to by historians as the “great divergence”.

Getting buttfucked twice by steppeniggers will do that to you.
But by the time they're done industrializing, China will dwarf Europe in terms of GDP. Not even the United States will be as big.
>>2965343
They were heavily centralized in their high period prior to the Mongol conquest, and the Manchurian Qing dynasty were backwards isolationists who forcefully decentralized China and made sure that everyone was a backwoods mud farmer by the time Europeans arrived
Why don't people just admit when they're wrong?
I get it may be more often than we like, but it just makes your life easier to adapt.
>>2965201
It is because when it happens then they realize that they had the weaker opinion. People don´t want to seem weak, that´s why some even try to attack you physically to show their strength. The wiseman accepst that he has been wrong and embraces the revealed truth and thus becomes more powerfull, but only if he was really wrong and not just convinced that he was wrong. The wiseman doubts his own opinion and thus if he embraced a convincing false opinion from another one he will in time make a new opinion that is better than before. Schopenhauer has said that sometimes he had failed to find a good argument for his point in a conversation, but later, when he had thought about it, he had found a better argument.

You might be arguing with women.

>I'm right and you're wrong, just admit it
