In the 1950s 40 years ago was the 1910s. Now 40 years ago is the 1970s. What made technology progress extremely fast in the first half of the 20th century compared to now?
WWI, WWII

computers, now nerds can share their ideas with any nerd around the planet almost instantly

Technology is still advancing at a fast rate maybe even faster now than ever before. However, instead of mechanical technological advancements, or new power sources, we're more focused on the new digital age. Everything is screens, coding, and pixels and virtual reality is starting to become... well... a reality.
Are there any historical precedents for NEETs? Were medieval monks NEETs?
>>1659724
No because "Monk" is a job.
>>1659724
The Monarchy, specifically their children who do not go into roles.
Don't ask for any examples.

I really, really, really like this sculpture
>>1659706
I've actually always preferred Bernini's David, it has actual doubt and uncertainty with it. I think that Donatello's version, showing him as a pathetically underdeveloped youth, does go for the whole "God won the victory, not David", but IMO, does so a bit too much; David is supposed to be a warrior in his own right, you know?

It's all yours my friend!
My ex says I look like this statue.
I always took offense because it draws attention to my incredibly small penis, but she meant it as a compliment.
Strange to think this is how English could have been without so much French influence, anyone got any other readings of old euro languages? Interesting subject
https://youtu.be/zfaEGU45lKA
but then you would still have the nordic influences
>>1659622
I don't see the issue here

I was looking for a video that had a fable in the closest we've come to recreating proto indo european but I couldn't find it so here's some Beowulf in Old English

European-based/European-descended civilization worldwide peaked overall in the year 1913.
Discuss.
>>1659595
that would be the 90's
>>1659616
I'm not talking about just NATO members. I'm talking about a time when Euro countries didn't just run the show, but completely dominated everything.
>>1659624
>european descended nations
>ergo the US
Guess who was undisputed top dog of the world during the 90's.
>"The great emperor of the Turks does with as great devotion as any prince in the world honour and observe the religion by him received from his ancestors, and yet detests he not the strange religions of others; but on the contrary permits every man to live according to his conscience: yes, and that more is, near unto his palace at Pera, suffers four diverse religions viz. that of the Jews, that of the Christians, that of the Grecians, and that of the Mahometans"
Why don't the Turks get more credit for being inclusive and tolerant before it became a meme?
>>1659546
Because nobody cares about that obscure, shaded corner peninsula next to Yurop.
/thread
>>1659546
Because nationalist propaganda.
>>1659546
That of the Grecians? Does he mean Hellenism or Orthodoxy?
Shouldn't it simply have been called the ß?
lmao thats actually so true

The fuck? Why would it just be called B?

Tell me about the wars in Chechnya /his/. Bonus points for people who post dreary pics of slavs.
I am also interested in this topic.

>low level insurgency ever since
a guy named dudaev wanted to make an independent state based around oil money but russia didn't want to let him go + kavkaz crime gangs having their share in the business + russian oligarchs having their share in the business + yeltsin needing pr for his voting campaign
the result is over 20,000 young russians slaughtered and the entire kavkaz region being radicalized to unrecognizable levels and nowadays russia paying the new leader kadyrov subsidies so that the region wouldn't chimp out again
don't have pics atm but here's a video

>Chechen: Alik, while it's not too late, tell your guys to retreat. Don't do this, don't do this. In any case, Alik, you and I will die. What's the point of all of this? Who will win from this? You and I will not win from this, understand? If we or I catch you in action, I won't show you mercy, just like you won't, understand? It's better if you come to me as a guest. Retreat your guys. Have pity for their mothers, have pity for your guys, retreat them. Give the order.
>Alik: I'm not that big of a boss to give such orders.
>Chechen: Alik, understand me clearly, from my heart I wish that you survive this, but you better leave.
>Alik: I don't have such a choice. I have orders and I will obey them in any case.
Why was it such a fucking flop?

Why is such a failure of a "rebellion" which was in reality little more than a fucking skirmish so celebrated by the Eternal Mick?

B/c Micks have no other accomplishments worthy of note, my British friend.

Not hard to see why they would celebrate it, you dense Anglo nigger.

Can we talk about the Gulf war?
I swear nobody ever talks about it. Really weird.

>It's a "US bombs the everliving shit out of an enemy military with little conflict on the ground until the enemy military has been mostly wiped the fuck out" episode
It isn't talked about because there isn't much to talk about.

25*. It barely fits into the scope of the board, but it does fit into the scope of the board.

What is there to discuss?
Christology debate time, for the non-ironic Christians here.
Does God/Jesus have only one nature and only one will?
Or two separate natures and two wills, one human and one divine?
Or Jesus had two natures in one person except that he only had a divine will and no human will?
And so on..
Choose wisely, for answering wrongly makes you a heretic.

Kek that is a thing.

>Choose wisely, for answering wrongly makes you a heretic.
Funny you say that, reading and believing in anything but the words which appear in the OT is actual heresy. If you do not practice the OT word for word, you're a heretic. It's pretty explicit about that too. Deuteronomy is a fun read.
1 nature, human.
Is he crying or just preparing for his performance?

He's not crying, just devastated because he realizes his country's done for after losing that battle but the nobility don't give a shit.
Wow that seriously must be the best painting I've ever seen. The painter being completely unable to accurately render an emotive human face says a lot about the Polish condition.
Let's discuss the history of the Jewish people

damn come on fellas let's have some actual discussion
>>"At that time they say that the Emperor Honorius in Ravenna received the message from one of the eunuchs, evidently a keeper of the poultry, that Rome had perished. And he cried out and said, 'And yet it has just eaten from my hands!' For he had a very large cock, Rome by name; and the eunuch comprehending his words said that it was the city of Rome which had perished at the hands of Alaric, and the emperor with a sigh of relief answered quickly: 'But I thought that my fowl Rome had perished.' So great, they say, was the folly with which this emperor was possessed." Procopius, The Vandalic War (III.2.25–26)
Who the fuck calls their dick Rome
