They were gay the same way someone who goes to /b/ is gay. They have just been exposed to so much sex and so many traps that at some point they say "Why not".
They are not absolute gays, they instead just wanted to delve into every weird sexual thing they could find.

It was intercrural sex.

>At least 5,295 Belarusian settlements were burned and destroyed by the Nazis, and often all their inhabitants were killed (some amounting up to 1,500 victims) as a punishment for collaboration with partisans. In the Vitebsk region, 243 villages were burned down twice, 83 villages three times, and 22 villages were burned down four or more times. In the Minsk region, 92 villages were burned down twice, 40 villages three times, nine villages four times, and six villages five or more times. Altogether, over 2,000,000 people were killed in Belarus during the three years of Nazi occupation, almost a quarter of the region's population.
Why isn't this atrocity better known?

They are known though. They're often mentioned alongside the Holocaust and Eastern Front Nazi atrocities.
>>
Honestly, WW2, especially the eastern front, was so fucked up in general it's inevitable certain things get lost in the big picture. The holocaust was just the biggest and most dramatic set of millions so it gets the most attention, and people find it easier to focus only on the biggest.

Clearly because he was such a humble and down to earth guy.
Do you think Adam and Eve went to Heaven after their death?
This is a non-theistic question; purely from reading the Bible, as a piece of literature, do you think they went to Heaven?

Who's to say that they died?
Let's assume that they are in fact immortal.
>>
>>2733749
From their narrative in Genesis, I would assume they returned to dust upon dying. From reading the rest of the Tanakh, I would say they went to Sheol.
>>
IF they died (anon raises a good point), I believe they are assumed to have gone to Paradise, which was like a pre-heaven holding place. Like Hades, kinda.

How was this absolute madman able to become a respected emperor of Rome while also being a proud descendant of most deadly enemy, even speaking Punic natively, speaking Latin with a heavy accent, and introducing several Punic deities to the official pantheon? "Punic" was used as a synonym for "treachery" in Rome and his son Caracalla was said to have "inherited the cruelty of the race of Africa [Punics]". Did anyone raise a stink about his heritage?

All you really needed to be emperor in the third century were popularity among the troops and enough tact to avoid assassinations.

Severus is probably the first or second most overrated emperor (along with Theodosius I) who basically set the stage for the next century of the empire not to mention fathering one of the worst emperors in history.

What's the problem? It's true, Regency England was more multiracial than traditional depictions in film, and history has been prone to whitewashing in a more general sense over the years, certainly.

The "calf" he worships is not exactly golden, if you know what I'm saying.
I guess he means to say that we should switch the golden calf for the black bull.
I started reading pic related this weekend.
Holy shit. Really gives an idea of the chaotic conditions going on. It's almost apocalyptic.
Also this was a good watch if you're interested in the way these people felt about killing another person. Another thing that I find extremely hard to imagine.

Does anyone else have some good Vietnam content? I'd also be open to seeing maps from various operations, combat footage, and maybe some more book suggestions.

Read Embers of War for a look into the events that set up the American war in Vietnam, and War in the Shadows (vol.2) for a detailed look at the strategies used by the North Vietnamese in resisting the US, and a look at various US failures in combating insurgency.
For personal views of the war, I'd recommend Chickenhawk, which deals with a USMC helicopter aviatior's experience in Vietnam during the height of combat operations.

Something I hear a lot is that the division of labor came after agriculture. Is this a universal fact or have there been some societies where the division of labor came before agriculture?

What has always bothered me about history , is how the hitler and all the rest of the nazis focused ONLY on us the so called "jews".
I mean , hitler and all the rest of the nazis's entire ideology was how we the "jews" are ugly, and we do not have "aryan" traits - we are not blonde, blue eyed with a symmetrical straight nose.
And yet they were in an alliance with the japanese.
No because last time I checked the japaense are the very epitome of "aryan" traits, with every single japanese person being 2m tall , blonde and with a perfectly symmetrical straight nose.
And the nazis didn't want us the so called "jews" to mix with the germans because that will ruin the "aryan" traits.
No because if germans will mix with the japanese, unlike mixing with us the so called "jews" , that will surely keep those "aryan" traits.

why english became so inconsistent in pronunciation?
yes, i know that written language doesn't evolve as fast as oral language, but the incongruencies are much more than other widely spoken languages
there is no rule to guess the pronunciation of certain words, you just have to know them, like blood vs gloom
old english wasn't like that afaik

England industrialised first. Hence solidifying written spelling by the printing press, before major changes in the spoken language.
Subsequently, whenever anyone questioned outdated spellings, the whole argument about 'no one written spelling would match any one accent' came up.
If 'book' suddenly became 'buk' to reflect southern pronunciation, the other half of the country would demand 'book' back.
