Why didn't the Germans just take Leningrad and move on to better use their troops on other fronts in Russia?
Whenever I hear about Leningrad in ww2 it makes it sound as if the Germans could have taken the city, but they intentionally didn't in order to starve out the entire population. Essentially to fulfill Hitler's "living space in the east" plan.
How true is that? It doesn't make sense that the Germans would intentionally halt their own advance? Or were they actually being stopped effectively by Soviet resistance in Leningrad and in Northern Russia? And what the hell was Finland up to?

You can't "just take" a city with a million and a half people in it.

You're talking about the same people who refuted Einstein's theories because he was jewish.
Not everything has to "Make sense" for a nazi to go for it.

Finland could have closed the iron ring around Leningrad if they wished too.
They managed to take back everything Stalin took from them earlier and only advanced further because they wanted positions easy too defend.
Russians will still defend the winter war because they needed the land to defend Leningrad, despite Finland only ever declaring war on the USSR to regain lost land.

Pay close attention to this history, as it's happening right now to our boards.
Especially /pol/, that was lost to the normie hordes ever since it got attention from the outsiders of our 4chan citadel.

My apologies, but it seems that I have overheard you refer to this collection of autonomous territories by a particular name.
It could be my hearing, it could be a distraction, it could be an illusion, but indeed, it has come that the thought of you saying it has crossed the mind.
Perhaps I am mistaken but certain such alacricity bothers me the most and I am surrendered by my obession to indulge it from your person.
Could you say that outloud again?

>Thus railed Thersites, but Ulysses at once went up to him and rebuked him sternly. "Check your glib tongue, Thersites," said be, "and babble not a word further. Chide not with princes when you have none to back you. There is no viler creature come before Troy with the sons of Atreus. Drop this chatter about kings, and neither revile them nor keep harping about going home. We do not yet know how things are going to be, nor whether the Achaeans are to return with good success or evil. How dare you gibe at Agamemnon because the Danaans have awarded him so many prizes? I tell you, therefore- and it shall surely be- that if I again catch you talking such nonsense, I will either forfeit my own head and be no more called father of Telemachus, or I will take you, strip you stark naked, and whip you out of the assembly till you go blubbering back to the ships."
>On this he beat him with his staff about the back and shoulders till he dropped and fell a-weeping. The golden sceptre raised a bloody weal on his back, so he sat down frightened and in pain, looking foolish as he wiped the tears from his eyes. The people were sorry for him, yet they laughed heartily, and one would turn to his neighbour saying, "Ulysses has done many a good thing ere now in fight and council, but he never did the Argives a better turn than when he stopped this fellow's mouth from prating further. He will give the kings no more of his insolence."
What the fuck was their problem?

Homer was preforming in front of aristocrats. The fact that Thersites didn't have his family lineage stated, and the fact he's an insubordinate soldier and not some Prince which Odysseus can't slap around, implies he apart of the common class. These aristocrats probably loved it when the pleb scum are displayed as getting put back into their place when acting out, even though they aren't slaves.

When did the tactic of volley fire die out? I imagine it would have been as the bolt action rifle came out, but when did they actually realize this was becoming a poor tactic?

Volley fire started to die out in the American Civil war. Basically Longstreet figured out how to make trenches that the Union couldn't take without massive casualties around Richmond.
Didn't stop the Union from using human wave tactics.

>Who first figured out how to smoke it?
I've always wondered about this with smoked plants and such
Was there someone going around picking plants, burning them, and inhaling the smoke for shits 'n giggles and one day got a buzz off of it? Did someone throw a bunch of tobacco or cannabis on the campfire and accidentally get the whole tribe fucked up? Was it purely an accident, ie. Unga Boonga catching a pleasant whiff of some intoxicating fumes as ran from a forest fire or was clearing some brush? Any anthropologyfags know what the prevailing theory is?

Weed dates back to the ancient Aryans/steppe people. Most notably the Scythians. It was primarily used in a ceremonial fashion, this is further supported by the use of Marijuana currently in India for Hindu (specifically Shiva-worship) rituals in India, and the folklore about Shiva having a favorite marijuana plant.
