The manliest sexual act is impregnating a woman.
The least manly is cunnilingus.
Fucking arses isn't inherently unmanly in civilian life, but you'll always be suspect of taking it in the ass too if you do.
Don't even begin to consider fucking other men in the army.
Read fucking Cato if you want to know more.

It's pretty obvious that smaller states can be run more effectively and thus the optimal political arrangement is a map dotted by thousands of city-states, but how do we stop them from conquering each other or banding together for military power?

Please stop lumping those of us born 80-81 into entitled filthy swill Millennials. I'm not one.
1981 is the latest date used for Generation X by reliable and established researchers such as Strauss and Howe (who coined the term "Millennial" in the first place). The Class of 2000 has always been the special graduating class because they were the Millennials, the first class of the New Millennium. There was a lot of expectation for that graduating class. Graduating in 1999, that's all we heard, we were the LAST of Gen X, and media and news programs commented on the Millennials and a New Beginning who would show up next year. That has always been the case.
Read the numerous articles on the Class of 2000 and the Millennials. Born 1980-81 are NOT Millennials/Gen Y. The term Millennials refers to those from the Class of 2000 (born 1982) and later and then goes up to 1995-97 or so, up until they get too young to remember 9/11. It has always been so. The dates for Gen X are 1965-1981, period.
Thank you for your time.

What's a good online source to read old newspapers, magazines and the like. I've especially been interested in American stuff (old Harper's, Puck, newspapers in general though maybe the bigger ones of the day, etc.) from the middle part of the 19th through the first part of the 20th (maybe up to WWI) century. Seems like the kind of thing that might be cool to read in seeing how events of the day played out.

Bumping out of interest.
I want to see the illustrations from the French Le petit Journal

You have to pay for the best ones.
Right now I'm looking through archives of newspapers and magazines from my country. The oldest start in 1848 but the most interesting is a movie magazine from the 30s.
Newspaper archives hunts are addictive as hell.

Any Lawyers out there?
Which is your favorite Legal Tradition?
I vote for Common Law, i live in a country ruled by Civil Law and it sucks, the process is slow and it doesn't always conform to ethics or justice, it goes just by positive norms on a Code.

Literally textbook example of practicality vs theory
>>
>>2053435
Common law pro: No matter what the legal scholars say, judges can make law at the behest of plaintiffs (ordinary people) in need and keep the system responsive even when the legislature is otherwise gridlocked by abstracted partisan navel gazing.
Common law con: So long as civil lawsuits require money to initiate, decisions will be dominated by the ills of wealthy clients and the solutions will trend toward benefiting them. The jury will always face a stacked deck.
Civil law pro: What the ministers pass is the law, little to no ambiguity or risk of extralegislative change.
Civil law con(sortof): If you can't afford to buy the ministers, you can't play. And elections likewise require an uphill struggle against entrenched capital to enact meaningful change.
Overall winner: Common law, by a nose.

Kek.
Are you really that ignorant in your own history?
>>
>>2053308
Not great in 1931, and deteriorating rapidly.
America hadn't approved of Japanese expansionism and industrialization and their interests in the Pacific. Then, as those policies continued, especially with the war in China, and threatening European colonies in the region.
Lots of people expected war. Not as an inevitability, but certainly a possibility. What do you think the Pacific Fleet in Pearl Harbor was there for anyway?

Where did this retarded ''spear is not good in 1v1 combat'' meme came from? Aside from the fact that they can simply change the grip if someone comes too close even when they use it with a shield the ''just go past the pointy end lmao'' is retarded because first of all the guy still can take a few steps back as the retard tries to close the distance and second since spear was the most common melee wepaon in history there is a huge chance his opponent has a spear on his own so why would he go ''hurr this retarded charge wouldn't work against me but hopefully my enemy has down's syndrome so I'm gonna rush him''?
Also this ''spear is a peasant's weapon'' is stupid as well because mercenaries, knights, samurai, Immortals, hoplites were all proffesionals yet used them not to mention Ares and Odin had spears and gods obviously don't use shit weapons.

why do you love spears so much?

Because spears and polearms were the main weapons of infantry and other shit like axes, swords, maces and warhammers were mere sidearms in case something went horribly wrong.

ITT: We discuss the correlation between height and historical significance.
Please note that the above proposition supports the Great Man theory of history, in fact it argues that they were impelled by their vertical deficiency.
