dumping my stuff

>having sex with a qt twink

That's a reward not a punishment

Americans just bought the local women.

Russians just took them.

Either way, plenty of pussy around.

>>1169933
I hate to meme but it's literally the Jews' fault that homosexuality is uncool

If the Greeks and Romans were allowed to determine Western morality, fucking cute twinks would be a perfectly respectable pastime

I think that percieving the paradox of a reality with no conceivable beginning is pretty interesting. I also find the idea of simulated reality to be fascinating.

99.99999% of humans are not self aware. They simply act on impulse. Even the people we rate as highly intelligent.

That said... Human nature is not magical. It can simply be broken down into predefined states. The human mind is made up of atoms (and are formed into chemicals) which obey the laws of physics etc.

Thereby we are defined by the universe. Anthromorphic principle and all that.

>>1169721
"Beginning" is essentially just point of view. Therein lies the sense to that paradox, I think.

>>1169725
What we think and believe to be our "self" is just baaarely the tip of the iceberg! After-all, we can only be aware of - and know so much at any given time. We can't be aware of ourselves as the whole universe because the nature of our awareness doesn't allow it. But that's why I brought up atoms for the sake of perspective! If we think about it as a matter of physics, even though it technically doesn't make sense (because naturally we aren't biologically built to perceive the most fundamental aspects of nature with our naked senses) "other" is a point of view. "Separation" is a point of view.

Think about outlines for example. An outline will change based on where and how you look at it. That's because the outline isn't really there, per say, it's just the noticeable limit of our perception.

>being a puppet

>>1169609
He had no choice. There was either trusting the corrupt fucks who kicked you out and would treat you like a puppet anyway or trusting the not-so-corrupt-looking ones who offer you a chance to fulfill your destiny.

>tranny shit
>hereditary

"No." The question is whether it's thanks to prenatal hormone exposure or a learned behavior, but it's absolutely not hereditary.

>fixation on proving manhood

Are you the same kind of retard who thinks people with big cars have all small cocks?

I read it as tyranny.

>The question is whether it's thanks to prenatal hormone exposure or a learned behavior, but it's absolutely not hereditary.
Well that'd make it hereditary on the mothers side, at least, since their womb would be causing the issue.
Also overcompensation is very common among trannies.

One of the most important European trade organisations of the middle ages which pretty much monopolised the North European trade through a network of mostly autonomous harbour cities. Declined in the Early Modern period when global trade became more important and imperial ambitions awakened in Europe.

A bunch of pseudo-krauts who were bigger Jews than Venice, built up trade and basically owned the Baltic sea

Neither rich nor powerful nor german

>>1169179
Thats not a pic of Marx.

>>1169185
of course, why would it be ?

>>1169185
Because Marx was wrong about a few things, one of which was the wrong-ness of Hegel.

>>1169006
Sit down and think about nothing.

>>1169082
i've been doing that my whole life

>>1169103

Nope. You've been thinking about random shit constantly.

To think about nothing you have to think about nothing.

And by that you must sit still... Stare off into space and not think about what you are looking at. What you are feeling or anything else.

Its kind of hard to do.

>>1168983
I think you can become a Reformed Jew, but they're not really Jews either. Come to think of it, with no temple, and no high priest, and no priests, and no animal sacrifices, there really aren't any Jews alive today. Just ethnic Jews, and even that's a little questionable as they switched from patrilinal to matrilineal ancestry in Babylonian captivity.

just marry a jew. they allow converts but usually only through marriage

>>1168975
All stories of serpents, winged serpents, dragons, etc., should be considered to be about dinosaurs.

Probably they believed in monsters in the end of the world.

I highly doubt anyone here knows where he said the HRE thing.

I would say major in finance if you want to do finance. Minor in history.

>>1168408

The goo-goo-gaa-gaa factor of a Harvard degree will count for a lot, but won't make up for demonstrated chops in accounting and economics.

>>1168408
columbia undergrad here, i know multiple humanities majors (even art history) who went into investment banking
prestige of school + alumni network + your networking abilities > major, you'll be fine
if you major in history, i would suggest focusing on the history of capitalism (you're at harvard, beckert + others are there), classical political economy, etc. i'd at least take econ up to intermediate level surveys if you haven't already done so
also, be sure to participate in extracurriculars related to finance--e.g. a student-managed investment fund, finance-related student committees, whatever else you can spin towards "experience" for landing internships. consider greek life for further networking if it interests you at all
you'll want 3 somewhat finance-related internships, with junior year summer being the most important, as permanent offers at some banks (especially JPM) are given almost solely to the intern classes

investment banking technicals + consulting case studies are easy to self-study, there are hundreds of guides aimed at non-finance majors (since, outside of penn, no ivies have undergrad business). OP should join wallstreetoasis if he hasn't already

but, something worth considering: why finance? outside of money / prestige it's absolute hell, you'll be working 100+ hours/week guaranteed if you're at a bulge bracket. consulting is quite a bit easier but it's still tedious as hell
if you enjoy history, i would highly recommend looking into graduate studies. you'll be able to land some very solid reccs from profs at your uni
also, if you major in history, law is always an option if finance doesn't work out + you have no interest in graduate studies

China 'apparently'. Murmurings of a Legion that got lost and wandered till they settled somewhere in modern China. Probably nonsense.

Roman traders frequently travelled the silk road to China, which they called Serica (land of Silk), they also traded with Ethiopia often through the nile river.

the military only got hard stopped in a handful of places, Persia, Western Germany/Rhine River Valley, and Scotland. everything else was the Roman Army expanding until they reached a natural barrier such as the Danube, the Sahara desert, etc.

>>1168432
The timing for the Chinese encountering Roman soldier fits with the loss of Valerian's entire army of 70,000 Roman soldiers being captured by Shapur the Great. It also marked the point where the Persians renewed trade relations with their Sino counterparts that the Parthians started centuries before.

>>1168448
I thought the main reason for war with the Persians and Parthians was because they dominated the Silk Road trade routes to Eastern Asia and India, and imposed heavier taxes on Roman goods and other tariffs, and every time the Romans attempted to circumvent or go around this, the Iranians blocked them.

>>1168340
Yes. Brands heavily promote an image in their advertisements. Their "image" is their ideology.

>>1168451
So should I drink ideology?

If you redefine the word ideology beyond its intended scope, yes.
