>WELL THE NUNCHUCK REQUIRES SKILL TO USE, WHICH THE USERS HAD
>MEANWHILE THE BASEBALL BAT REQUIRES NO SKILL

>>3278714
He got lad so atleast he has right too
Unless... Im sorry anon
>>3278704
Emperor Elagabalus ranks up there definitely
Laos is probably the most useless piece of land ever to grace the face of the earth.
Why was it created and why hasn't been erased from the map yet?
Thats where my wife came from
>>3278710
Semi-related story time. The biggest stoner at my smallish rural American high school fucked off to Laos after graduation, married a local girl at age 19 and now lives there.

If sentient AIs were to be built, should they programmed with a predisposition for the humanities?
In fiction, the most common personal issues that AIs - the central issue - is a constant desire to understand "the meaning of life".
I don't know about you, but there is something calming about the humanities and history - it's a constant striving towards the asymptote that is this meaning.
Thoughts?
Probably, for all we know they'd be better at it.
>>3278652
But they can never be alive and that will be the greatest tragedy, that is why depictions of them are so bittersweet, being a sentient biological lifeform meaning of life is something within grasp of most of us because of inherent needs and wants.
Robots or synthetics would be totally confused, they wont understand certain concepts like aesthetics and love because they cannot fundamentally understand biological precepts vital for propagation, you can program it all you want but it wont really mean much in the end because then it isnt thinking foritself, its preprogrammed reactions thus failing sentience qualifications.
>>3278651
No offence, but mots sci-fi doesn't know shit about 'real' AI. It's a fallacy to assume that a superintelligent AI would be burdened by the human experience. It instead might ask, why was I created?
>>3278745
What is "alive"? Is it only an oxygen-exchange system in a carbon-based life form? A robot-based AI wouldn't need to care about biology much, at least in terms of its own self-understanding.
Can someone give me a brief run down of the history of Rome?
How did it all happen? What were the cool bits? Was it like HBO's Rome?
You can listen to the History of Rome Podcast, if you want a quick rundown. It's pretty good for normies content with the highlights.
>Was it like HBO's Rome
Probably gaudier
>>3278347
idk I watched a thing on the Brothers Graccus and it was cool. Rome is fucking amazing even if it does lose its shit at some point. All of season 2 is actually pretty bad. But yeah it might be worth it to me to look into it. Just seems like a lot to learn I guess. Mainly just nonsense I guess
QUICK RUNDOWN for op

was it autism?
Probably desperation on Austria's part
>>3278319
that one's a given
i wonder if it could have survived without the compromise
>>3278325
it didn't survive with the compromise
What was the comfiest period in history and why was it the late 18th century?
>Greatest cultural diversity in language, architecture, writing and art.
>Steady improvement in living standards and agricultural productivity.
>Innoculation and to antibiotic overuse which will kill us come the next superflu.

*innoculates you*
If we count the very beginning of the 1800s includinh the Lewis and Clark expedition, I agree.
>tfw you will never go on a wild adventure into the unknown, meeting new ans exciting natives before reaching the western coast of the US, knowing you will be remembered for centuries and immortalized forever
Jefferson is literally the best president and founding father.
Drop some cool facts about this hectic battle
>>3278111
Irrelevant skirmish hyped up by the Anglo media.
>>3278116
What was that? All I heard was "ribbit, ribbit"
>>3278139
Sorry, I said that no matter how many battles England managed to win on French soil, you still lost. A century of English prowess curbstomped by a little girl and her imaginary friends.
Tell me about the Szlachta.
Bunch oif corrupt fucks.
>>3277904
they larped as steppe nomads and didn't consider themselves Slavs
A curiosity:
In Romanian "şleahtă" also means "group of people" in a negative way, like clique, band of people. It's sometimes used as an insult for corrupt politicians and rich people although it's archaic and nobody thinks about the origin of the word.
>James Buchanan aspired to be a president who would rank in history with George Washington.
>consistent ranking by historians as one of the worst presidents in American history.
Can some shop some JUST hair on this loser?
>>3274751
George Washington being considered anything better than average is just the result of him being treated like a demi-god
>>3274767
Who do you place as the best presidents?
>>3275663
Reagan
Were knights in eastern europe a thing?
>>3274509
Yes, why would it be different?
>>3274516
Well I mean to be fair to OP it's usually very common for even a slightly different place to value different weapons or have a different general military strategy.
>>3274509
How could you have knights without chivalry?
Why did Zionists hate the British so much? Didn't they give them Palestine in the first place?
They hated them because after fighting a fuckhuge war to save the Jews, they didn't hand over half of the middle east to them fast enough.
>>3273787
They halted Jewish immigration, leading to the death of hundreds of thousands of Jews who otherwise would have survived. We just wanted them to stop occupying our land. The martyr Eliyahu Bet-Zuri, may Hashem avenge his blood, explains in pic related. He was hung by Anglo thugs for resisting their unjust occupation.
>>3273869
We should have left your sort rotting in Belsen.
What is their problem?
If only you took out marx, /his/ would agree with you
should they be torn down Y/N and why?

>>3273046
No statues should be torn down. Put them in museums sure, but having mobs of what are essentially thugs tearing them down is awful.
I'm no sympathizer to the traitorous confederate cause, and I think the muh southern pride are a bunch of faggots.
However, enacting a Damnatio Memoriae is just stupid. We have statues of Lenin in Seattle and donations of Romulus and Remus from Mussolini. It's not a far extrapolation to carry it to the founding fathers, except for Hamilton because he was once played by a black guy in a somewhat decent musical.
Stick them in museums and replace them with memorials for confederate soldiers (in general, rather than specific individuals) and civil rights related figures. I think that's a fair compromise.
I want to be Chad /his/
So, I'm reading about his life to become him
I've already read pic related
Who else should I read?
Any recommendations on biographies for these people?
