There is no god.
Because God doesn't exist. At least, not the God of any Abrahamic religion.
Let's discuss art films: high quality cinema. Not Iron Man 3 but rather Bergman or Haneke (what is more /his/ than /tv/).
What are the best films out there, what is actually worth watching?
I've seen most Bergman movies and they don't speak to me at all. What then?
>>1296083
Ozu is cinema.
Bergman is filmed theatre.
Haneke just makes movies about how Germans and French are rude/psychopathic.
>Every 10 years, the ancient and venerable British film magazine, Sight & Sound, polls the world's directors, movie critics, and assorted producers, cinematheque operators and festival directors, etc., to determine the Greatest Films of All Time.
>Sight & Sound has been conducting its poll every 10 years since 1952. Because it is world-wide and reaches out to voters who are presumably experts, it is by far the most respected of the countless polls of great movies--the only one most serious movie people take seriously.

How is Persona "filmed theatre"?

If the prosecution lied about Manson's height being only 5'2 then what else might they have lied about? This case and the circumstances surrounding it are one of the most mindboggling and fascinating bits of modern American history.

what exactly is to be gained by making your empire larger? ie what is the main motivation in ruling large chunks of land? Money? influence? why do states go to war over tiny tiny land areas?
More people to tax, more corpses for the army and resources to fuel the rest of your empire.

How can germans even pretend that the Versailles treaty was bordering on cruel when this is what they exerted on Russia. God knows the conditions they'd have wanted to subjugate France and England to.
Also don't know about your question OP. Sorry :c.
>>1294509
i dont think that map is accurate in any way. austria didnt even want territory because it was collapsing and germany for the most part wanted to set up independent and puppet states.

Have you ever noticed how none of the people who complain about modern art ever seem to know anything about pre-modern art either?

Is this supposed to be what passes for a defense of Mark Rothko?

Yeah, I have.

Pre gunpowder era infantry was a meme I'm convinced it was some kind of prank why the fuck would anyone bother with them when cavalry and archers exist?
>muh extensive training
fucking Goth and Vandal barbarian forest niggers living in mud huts and singing hakuna matata every evening was cavalry oriented and you're telling me more civilized people couldn't pull it off?
Infantrymen were rused.

Bur barbarians could huh?

Barbarians didn't have complicated feudal systems. They were fucking skulls in their mudhuts and couldn't care less
Why is there so little appreciation for the British Empire, compared to other huge empires that influenced the world like Rome?

Next friday (june 10th) We're launching our historical RP minecraft server based around 1900 AD.
It is a historical rp server with plugins to help with immersion. Players make nations and these nations can trade, make treaties or alliances, and go to war with one another for land and glory. We're paying for our own board which we use for discussions regarding our server.
There will be a set amount of historic nations that can be claimed by groups of players prior to launch. All nations will have their historic borders already claimed. You can not make your own nation, you can either claim a pre-existing nation or join one. You can however get your own nation later by diplomacy or revolution.
We play on an accurate map of Europe, including parts of northern africa which will be unclaimed at the start and will be open for colonization.
We have created an original content resource pack with crackshot and custom weapons. You can use many different types of rifles along with flamethrowers, grenades, and artillery. Dyed leather armor will be re-skinned to military uniforms. There will also be brewcraft and you can sit in chairs (obviously the most important part). THIS IS NOT MODDED IN ANY WAY! This is vanilla.

Only about 200 survived because of a deal one crusader made. The rest of the crusaders were pissed.

they captured Jerusalem and then under Guy de Lusignan completely fucking blew it in every single way and lost everything they gained.
>Muslims attack and conquer things from the early 8th century until the 11th century or so, largely due to Christians being divided and fighting among themselves.
>Pope doesn't like this at all and also wants to repair relations with the Orthodox Church which separated in 1054 and which he thought he begin to lure back by helping them out a bit.
>Muslims give him the pretext he needs to launch an invasion by messing with the rights of Christian pilgrims.
>Christians and Muslims fight for hundreds of years, Christians winning at times and Muslims at other, Muslims win.
>Muslims somehow believe this is what destroyed their Golden Age and not the Mongols/Timurids fucking everything up, and even then that didn't actually ruin them because the Turks and Iranians became incredibly powerful and advanced and arguably far better than Europe until around the late 17th century.
How historically accurate is this game?
I'm sorry. I know this isn't really /his/ territory, but the amount of shit that (we know) they've put in so far is baffling.
I'll give you a few run downs:
>Black Germans
>France is not a playable faction
>Fricking assault rifles. Automatic and the whole shebang.
Just... why...
It's a videogame not a textbook they can do whatever inane bullshit they want to pander to as much people possible to make as much money as possible. Anybody with their panties in a twist over Battlefield 1 being historically inaccurate has severe autism.

So why aren't they pandering to the french?
Shoving literally the biggest player in WW1 into some shitty DLC later on is fucking shit, no matter how you cut it.
To clarify, I mean "collectivism" the way a radical libertarian uses the word. Insinuating that anything that involves any sort of centralized authority, community, or state is a collective tyranny to persecute the individual.
As many people have realized (such as Stefan Molyneux), opening your borders to all comers, far from being an economic boon, actually can have disastrous consequences for the quality of life, security, and prosperity of the people of a nation. This has been a great "redpill" moment in history for a lot of libertarians, who see their idealistic views failing miserably in real time.
So why shouldn't society be constructed around the individual? Are we not all individual entities with our own minds, our own conscience, our own personalities?
True, but if you take an individual out of his environment, he is the lesser. For example, take a salmon out of a stream in California, and dump him in the Hudson River. As he dodges floating sewage, ask yourself: is he the lesser? For one thing he'll have a hell of a time reproducing with no other salmon around. He'll have no more contact with any other fish like him. The water is different, the seasons are different, the other fish are different....nothing is like his home. Do you think a fish is capable of loneliness?
The truth is that we are not totally free floating, independent entities. We exist in the context of our environment. A person is most happy and most free when he can be among people that are like himself, members of his own tribe so to speak. Birds of a feather flock together.
Blacks like being around other blacks. Whites like being around other whites. Engineers like being around other engineers. Sophisticates like being around other sophisticates. We are all tribal, we all form clubs and groups and communities. For only then can we spread our wings and reach our true potential.

>"do you think a fish is capable of loneliness?"
are you for real dawg
what the actual shit is that for a question. Are you a vegan by any chance, to assume that a fish has the cognitive ability to understand the emotional implications of loneliness, much less rationalize and recognize them? What's it going to do? Commit fish suicide because it's got fish depression?

The collective doesn't exist as anything but a shared fiction. Serve the collective only in so ar as doing so benefits you. Treating fictions as entities to be served ahead of yourself is stupid; you're also stupid.

he is pathologically stupid, but it is useful to look at certain institutions as more than just a bunch of individuals.

I've always wondered about the muslim depiction of Paradise, Jannah. According to Muslim belief, everything one longs for in this world will be there in Paradise.
Paradise is somewhat different from the more mystic Christian depiction of Heaven, in that it is very sensual, there are detailed descriptions of the food, the drinks and the sexual gratification, with the houris that are everywhere.
What about muslims who are attracted to boys, but remain good muslims through their life? Will their houris be boys in Paradise? Is it ok there?
Fucking boys is literally okay on Islam. But if you fuck a man you're a fag and don't go to heaven
>>1294347
>Fucking boys is literally okay on Islam.
You got some citation for that or did you pull it out of your ass?
