In 1939 more than 10,000 Polish cavalrymen charged against German tanks, but armed with only their sabers and lances the Poles were cut down to very last man and horse.

Germans used to brew low alcohol beer for regular drinking and hydration because it was cleaner than their shitty water.

Germans also used to sometimes use nightshade to brew their beer which created with super hallucinogenic but also technically toxic drink. I don't remember his name, some people mentioned him the other day, but there's this German anthropologist who figured out a recipe, but still needed to drink several liters of the stuff. IIRC, the dose he took wasn't very far off from the lethal dose, it's not a very optimal psychedelic. Anyways the church condemned it and the practice was for the most part eliminated, and now beer is all hops and grain and shit.

Monks would brew beer and sell it because they have to make that dosh somehow, while also keeping the surrounding peoples from storming the monastery for bread and gold. You can still find some, or at least the general recipe, and some of it is pretty good and strong.

>Frederick had despised Polish people since his youth, and numerous statements are known in which he expressed anti-Polish prejudice,[79] calling Polish society "stupid" and stating that "all these people with surnames ending with -ski, deserve only contempt"[80] He passionately hated everything associated with Poland, while justifying his hatred with ideas of Enlightenment.[81] He described Poles as "slovenly Polish trash".[82][83]

>Frederick undertook the conquest of Polish territory as an enlightened and civilizing mission, particularly given his negative perceptions about Poland and the traditions of its ruling elite, all of which merely provided a convenient path for the "sanguine ameliorism" of the Enlightenment and heightened assurance in the "distinctive merits of the 'Prussian way'".[84][85] He prepared the ground for the partition of Poland-Lithuania in 1752 at the latest, hoping to gain territorial bridge between Pomerania, Brandenburg and East Prussian provinces.[86] Frederick was himself partly responsible for the weakness of the Polish government, having inflated its currency with Polish coin dies obtained during the conquest of Saxony in 1756. The profits exceeded twice the peacetime national budget of Prussia.[87] He opposed attempts of political reform in Poland, and his troops bombarded customs ports on the Vistula, thwarting Polish efforts to create a modern fiscal system.[88] As early as 1731 Frederick had suggested that the country would be well-served by annexing Polish Prussia in order to join the separated territories of the Kingdom of Prussia.[89]

What the fuck was his problem?

>Frederick invited German immigrants to the province[97] also hoping they would displace the Poles.[98]

>Frederick himself tried further propaganda justifying the Partition, portraying the acquired provinces as underdeveloped and improved by Prussian rule. According to Karin Friedrich these claims were accepted for a long time in German historiography and sometimes still reflected in modern works.[99][verification needed]. Frederick however did not justify his conquests on ethnic basis, unlike later, nationalist, 19th-century German historians.[100] Dismissive of contemporary German culture, Frederick was instead pursuing an imperialist policy, acting on the security interests of his state.[100] Frederick II settled 300,000 colonists on territories he had conquered, and enforced Germanization.[101]

>After the first partition Frederick engaged in plunder of Polish property, confiscating Polish estates and monasteries to support German colonization, and in 1786 he ordered forced buy-outs of Polish holdings.[102] The new strict tax system and bureaucracy was particularly disliked among Polish population, as was the compulsory military service in the army, which didn't exist previously in Poland.[103] Frederick abolished the gentry's freedom from taxation and restricted its power.[104] Royal estates formerly belonging to the Polish Crown were redistributed to German landowners reinforcing Germanization.[105] Both Protestant and Roman Catholic teachers (mostly Jesuits) taught in West Prussia, and teachers and administrators were encouraged to be able to speak both German and Polish.[97][verification needed] Economic exploitation of Poland, especially by Prussia and Austria, followed the territorial seizures.

>Frederick wrote that Poland had "the worst government in Europe with the exception of Turkey".[96] After a prolonged visit to West Prussia in 1773, Frederick informed Voltaire of his findings and accomplishments: "I have abolished serfdom, reformed the savage laws, opened a canal which joins up all the main rivers; I have rebuilt those villages razed to the ground after the plague in 1709 (32,599 people in and around Danzig perished);[108][better source needed] I have drained the marshes and established a police force where none existed. . . it is not reasonable that the country which produced Copernicus should be allowed to moulder in the barbarism that results from tyranny. Those hitherto in power have destroyed the schools, thinking that the uneducated people are easily oppressed. These provinces cannot be compared with any European country--the only parallel would be Canada."[109] But in a letter to Henry, Frederick admitted that the Polish provinces were in good state:

As one myself living in the West, I'm very knowledgeable about the early Turks.

The two main types of Turks originate from Mongolia or from Russia. The difference is skin tone and eye colour.

They started living in the East of Turkey as a small group, then they grew enough to be the size of a small city. Then they rose up up to have conquered main parts of the East. They went by the name of the Seljuks.

After this was the Ottoman Empire, which also started fairly small. This also rose up to be a superpower. The Ottomans were war-hungry and their mission was to expand their land. However the Ottomans lost a lot of land because of its inhabitants, not many were Turks and wanted their state back.

The reason the Ottomans wanted land is because of the first Sultan's dream, he dreamt of an empire with his name everywhere on Europe and Asia.

The reason to their military success was that all citizens had to have some military training, this law is somewhat still here in Turkey. They were also the first to have War Rythms during a war, and they had a different style. They were skilled with the horses like the Mongolians and we're keen sharpshooters. Nor did they use a regular sword, but a special one that curves at the end. Their health care was superior at the time, so they had no problem while the West was bathing in Urine to get the disease away.

In my opinion Turkey sucked when Atatürk came to power, he oppressed the religious, banned the Quran, basically what Trump would do if he were Turkey's representative. And right now Erdoğan is trying to claim overwhelming power which he shouldn't have, it's still a democracy.
I think you know how big the Ottoman empire was, so this is the Seljuk empire

Mao's hygiene regimen:
>1. Rarely bathed. Even if he did, he disliked soap and water method. Preffered to be scrubbed with steaming towels.

>2. Did not brush teeth. He preffered to rinse mouth with teas. Apparently, his teeth were pretty rotten.

>3. Did not like flush toilets. For years after he became the most powerful man in China, he defecated in the palace gardens. Finally Zhou Enlai was able to convince him to use an indoor bathroom.

>4. He often had an assortment of body lice and skin infections. He often just dropped his pants in public to scratch himself.

What's the fucking point of the "new atheist" movement? Sam Harris and those who came after him don't actually contribute much of value to any field whatsoever, at least in their atheism-related work.

And none of that is to say that God exists. I'm an atheist myself. It's just that, aside from the very specific question of "whether the number of deities that exist is more than zero," they tend to have no idea what the fuck they're talking about.

Is there something about having a PhD in one field that makes you feel like you intuitively know about all fields? Sam Harris apparently thinks he knows all about such broad topics as philosophy (granted, he has a bachelor's in it, but even that doesn't really show), anthropology, history, political science, and so on.

I've heard biologists say that Dawkins, a biologist, even thinks multiple genetic traits can't be linked together such that controlling for one influences the other.

So my question is, what are they actually trying to accomplish? They aren't convincing religious people to leave their religions (which I'm pretty indifferent to). They aren't making things better for atheists.

As a social movement, and/or a philosophical stance (if there is one core thing they can be said to share besides being atheists), is there some motivating factor?

I mean, I don't really buy into the Gnostic crap that comes from either. Like I said, I also think God doesn't exist (probably).

My point is just that there are actual people studying in various fields and adding to them, and then there are these people patting themselves on the back with one hand and circlejerking each other with the other because they don't believe in God and some other people do.

What's the point? How is that satisfying? It's fine to be an atheist, but if, as New Atheists are so eager to point out, it's not a positive belief, then what sense does it make to define your entire existence by the fact that you take what you consider to be a default position?
>>
>>1481265
I reiterate, it's the same decrepit, soulless, garbage. Your wasting of time trying to rationalize its convolutions, along with your selfalleged disbelief in God, just prove how mentally impaired and pettyminded Atheists are.

Go away.

The closer you travel to the speed of light the slower time moves for you when compared to an outside frame of reference.

Given that this is a scientific fact it should be possible to build a 'time machine' of sorts that could bring someone forward in time. What you'd need to do is build a mag-lev train that completes a circuit around the circumference of a small heavenly body. The moon is a good candidate because of how close it is but really any small, round body will do.Ceres may also work as it is very remote. The low gravity of these bodies has the added benefit of assisting magnetic levitation. Shielding should also be built to prevent relativistic impacts with small bits of matter. Essentially you'd have a mag lev train inside of a long, empty, circular tube

The next thing you want to do is board the train and let it begin accelerating. Given that the track provides no friction and that space is a vacuum you could potentially accelerate to near relativistic speeds. If you could stay aboard long enough, through some kind of suspended animation or calorie rationing you could potentially 'jump' many thousands of years into the future.

My question to you /his/ is this: Would you climb aboard sucha machine if you were handed a ticket? Would you go 1000, 10,000, 100,000 years into the future, knowing you'd never have a way back?
