Hard to say, since we don't actually know what Mithraism was.

>>1929404
It was a warrior religion, by killing you reenacted the killing of the Bull by Mithra, basically Mithraists saw themselves as gods fighting the darkness as well as initiates, it must have been pretty attractive for warriors who fighted ceaselessly.

We know it; we have hymns, a lot of stone inscriptions, as well as description from the christians.

>We know it; we have hymns, a lot of stone inscriptions, as well as description from the christians.
That doesn't really give us the substance, especially since, presumably, the Christians writing about it weren't initiates.

You play the system or it plays you.

at least they were classy as fuck gangsters and not like the dindu nuffin's running around today

Close proximity to domesticated animals and large populations led to a huge amount of disease developing

There were some bad diseases that got transferred over to the Old World, but the reason the Old World wasn't as horribly impacted was because people living there had stronger immune systems due to how interconnected they were. Through extensive land and sea traderoutes, China, Western Europe, and everywhere in between had essentially been connected on a microbial level since the days of the old Silk Road. The higher average population density of the Old World also created easier breeding grounds for bacteria, and thus required strong immune systems for any of the people who survived.

Yeah...in causing them.

Yes. As spoils of war.

Women played a significant part in American industry during Ww2.

When you're born, you're told you're put on here for a specific reason, whether it be out of destiny, because the deity you love and fear decided to, because it was your calling, or because you had a duty to love your fellow man, take over the world, etc. and as you grow, you're slowly stripped of your illusions and your beliefs begin to be taken away from you.

My interpretation is that meaning is purpose. Think of the phrase,
>what is the meaning of this?

A car has meaning. We gave it meaning. A car's meaning is to transport something from point A to point B. What's our meaning? What's our purpose? WHY were we born? To do WHAT?

So they can be used interchangeably?

According to this chart (please don't laugh) meaning is associated with religion and politics, so what makes those things have meaning as oppose to Buddhism and absurdism?

>>1929230
My question really is what is the difference between the two words since they obviously can't be used completely interchangeably

If he was so "Great" how come he died.

He was probably the unluckiest manslut ruler in history.

>>1929096
He was Great because he build up the country that defeated the Teutonic Order and pretty much subjugated Ruthenians.
It was his economic genius that helped Poland rebuild and wage war against Teutons.

He probably had a lot of bastard children, too bad the Piast line ended.

They call him king, but he is not even king over his own body.

You are visiting a site that gives you that sweet sweet dopamine. Why do you have no self control and visit an Indonesian image board.

chemical addiction =/= simple enjoyment or psychological addiction, nicofag.

That's completely natural.

It's addiction onset by specific chemicals like nicotinoids, amphetimines, opioids that I'm talking about.

Bruv that sounds pretty interesting, what's the essay meant to be about specifically?

You have to post the essay at the end though.

If you lived in a waring society and one of the most dangerous places in the world, sure.
However in our modern world, antisocial behaviour and manipulative behaviour is scorned and looked down upon.

He was a failed politician and his rants are the equivalent to the thought process of a /r9k/ poster.

Descriptively, yes. Philosophically, no.

Does your Constitution also have in it articles that definitely suspend the exercise of some rights for the general interest, like mine does? As in natural cataclysm cases or martial law? I'm a law student

>>1928837
Remember, not suspend the rights themselves, but only the exercise those rights and freedoms

It's not like a phalanx can instantly turn 180 degrees

It's harder to turn 256 men in a phalanx formation than make 256 lightly armored men run around them

They would have skirmishers, light infantry and cavalry to protect their flanks. Have you never played Rome Total War?

French pronunciation is way more logic than the english one. If you are struggeling with french pronunciation, try to listen to a lot of french native speakers. Watch french movies, radio programs and youtube channels. A historical approach won't help you here.

>>1928756
Is it closer to 'standard black english' then, where words don't necessarily need to be conjugated? Because there've been a ton of verbs already that are identical-sounding no matter the conjugation.

>>1928733
French is the biggest muh heritage language ever. Half the letters are just there because it was written like that in mommy Latin. That being said, pronunciation is very regular and I cant think of any exceptions. As for the verbs, context is everything.

>Were there other reasons?
Do the USA really need other reason?

>>1928492
Spanish colonial empire was dying for good, the US didn't want other European powers snatching up colonies so close to home so they took them for themselves.

>>1928492

Americans want to control dat profitable sugar economy just next to their national shores.
So they claimed that the Spaniards had destroyed one of their ships.
