Why isn't this guy one of the greatest? Or even memorable for that matter? He managed to be both a diplomatic success and a war time success, probably getting us the biggest chunk of modern America ever (besides Alaska), and he does it all in ONE TERM. He worked so hard he died shortly after leaving? Shouldn't we consider him at least top 10?

Polk is such a meme president. Only a fool would think the measure of a president's greatness is measured in the acres of territory he acquired.
>>
>>1164944
I'm pretty sure he does rank in the top ten on most lists. He only served one term which is probably why he doesn't get as much memorializing. I grew up near his birth place so we learned shit ton about him so we definitely learned a lot about him in school and he was always one of my favorite.

There were Romano-Berber kingdoms in North Africa that were basically Berber chieftains with Roman cities who feigned loyalty to the ERE. ERE Africa survived for alil while.

North Africa was a heavily profitable and Romanized area. Its completely plausible in some alternative hisfuck that Italy is taken and the remnant rump state is in NA. Happened in Dalmatia and North Gaul.

Is this the direction the history channel should be going in? Is this better than reality shows or talking head shows discussing which historical figures would win in a fight?

Pop history serves a purpose I guess. Nobody under 30 watches television anymore anyway.

>>1164723

History channel has always been crap. When it was "good" it just showed documentaries that they licensed to show on their channel. You can now find all those docs on youtube. "Great Minds" is actually funny, and probably the only show I've liked that they produced themselves. Even that I just watch on youtube.

TLDR; Go to sleep Spencer we like your show.

I love dan harmon, but this is not all that great, but certainly better than the history channel standard. I could enjoy watching this, the reality shows are actually cancer.

Yeah, Rome likes to make everything about her, as most whores do.
>>
>>1164470
No. contrary to the popular belief, Protestant are not at any way different to the Catholic teachings, rather they're a denomination which formed after Luther expressed contempt at the state of Catholic monasteries in Germany. They found they were swarming with Hymenoptera, thus naming their brand of religion

>Protest
>ants

Luther knew that in order to stop an influx of further heresies, such as dreadful Paraponera clavata, he had to act fast.

The real answer is: the term World War was created by narratives that favored nation-states.

As the Seven Years War was fought by non-nation states, it didn't count.

That's what I read at least.
>>1163533
Indians & Flips were involved.

And before you say: "But their colonizers made them" note that India wasn't yet colonized though Allied Princes fought in behalf of European partners in India while in the Philippines, when the colonial capital of Manila fell to the Brits, the natives declared a capital in the northern Philippines and continued fighting the Brits guerilla style, independent of Spanish leadership since they saw it as a holy war versus Protestant Heretics.

Because the CoE is still triggered by the Pope and the Irish are Catholic, so it's the only way to direct there anger.

I like stories like Indiana Jones or JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (pic related) and more where the Nazis use magic or the supernatural to their advantage. But what I want to know is if this has any form of truth to it. Did anyone in Germany ever try experimenting with magic or was this all a myth? If so, where do you think it came from?

It was mostly just LARPing faggots like Himmler that gave the Nazis an "occult" image. It gave them some pretty cool imagery/iconography but that's about it.

It's Himmler's bullshit. Even Hitler made fun of him for it.

>>1162911
What the other posters said, Himmler had a boner for occult stuff and was into pseudo-archaeology that backed up his beliefs. There's no evidence for Hitler or any other high-ranking Nazis being interested.

Xenophon: Being good is good but being bad is not good, it is bad.

Socrates: Xenophon, is it not the truth that a stone can be used for a good cause and also in addition for, by Zeus, for a bad cause.

Xenophon: Yes, magnificent Socrates, that is indeed the truth.

Socrates: Then is not true that the stone can not automatically be categorised as intrinsically bad if it is not intrinsically good?

Xenophon: By Neptune's beard, Socrates! You are the biggest genius the world has ever known!

1. How the fuck was this shit deemed to be genius level?
2. How the fuck did Plato write the republic when Aristotle hadn't yet invented logic? Checkmate, classicists!

Do you think Hitler could have won if he let his Generals make all the decisions post 1940?

Here's what Hitler fucked up (in no particular order):

-Decided to change targets from British airfields to Cities during the battle of britain just because some cucking bomber dropped a bomb on Berlin

-decided to go into the Balkans when there was no real reason to

-decided not to support Rommel as much as he could have because it would have taken away from the Soviet Invasion force

-decided to invade Russia 1) in the winter and 2) while Britain was still lalive and kicking

-Enforced a "no retreat" rule, causing the destruction of several armies that could have retreated then been used to counterattack

-Antagonized and eventually declared war on the US instead of distancing himself from Pearl Harbour

-kept switching his invasion focus from Stalingrad to Moscow to Leningrad

-kept funneling resources into shitty projects like the Tiger Tank and V2 rockets instead of perfecting and spamming the Panther design

-decided to ban mass parachute missions

what did I miss?

Hitlers command structure is inherently fucked just by the fact that the SS exists and it can overrule Army commands.

How and why a bunch of German elites with Vons in the middle of their names got memed into obeying a fucking Clerk and his Austrian Peasant boss is beyond me.
>>
>>1162650
So yeah, do you think if Hitler and his retardedness wasn't there could Germany have won the war?

I think if they had focused on taking out Britain, and then had supported Rommel they could have launched a two-pronged invasion into Russia

Hey,
can someone please help me interpret pic related. I looked up some tutorials how to understand box-and-whisker-plots but I'm just not getting behind it.
I'd really appreciate it if someone with an understanding of linguistics could help me out here.

I can also provide provide further information if that would be helpful.
It is from Ryuichi Hotta's paper on "s-Pluralisation in Early Middle English and word-frequency".
>>
>>1161816
I'm going to attempt to explain box plots and be of no particular help since I'm just working off my own notes and might be wrong.
The center line is the median value and divides 50% of the values from the other 50% of the values.
The box encompasses 25% of the values on either side of the line and is the interquartile area.
The pinched area is a 95% confidence interval for the median.
Whiskers vary I guess. Generally they're 1.5* the interquartile area and end at the last value in that range.
Circles represent outlying values.
Cross probably represents the average value.
The chart would probably be easier to read if it included a strip chart as well to represent every value and C12b doesn't particularly look like the size of the chart was chosen properly for the range of values. I have no idea what's going on at the bottom of C12b.

Hopefully that helps marginally better than other tutorials since I can't find the paper online so I don't understand the context.

Thanks very much for sharing your notes.
Maybe I'm trying to interpret it based on that and you can tell me if this makes sense according to the mechanics of a box-plot.

So the paper is about how plural markers in Early Middle English developed from things like -um, -es, -as and such to the today known -s. Hotta wanted to research which kind of nouns were effected from that change first, high-frequency or low-frequency nouns.
Earlier in the paper he stated pic related.
So when now looking at the box-plots I assume that the amount of data above the median are the high-frequency nouns and the ones below are the low-frequency nouns. Makes sense, right?
So when I now look at how the data changes over the periods I can see, that at first high-frequency nouns in C12b had a way higher amount of innovative s-types and throughout to C14a both high and low-frequencies became more alike and decreased (which makes sense since mostly all words have by then adapted to the s-plural).
But somehow this doesn't really make sense when comparing it with what he stated in pic related, when he said high-frequency nouns were much slower adapting to s-plural.
So I must be misinterpreting the diagram, right?
