Did Carthage really sacrifice babies, or is that just Roman propaganda?

They probably did on rare occasions. Their cousins back in the Levant had the same practices.
The Romans can't really claim any moral high ground though.

Possibly, and very likely near the end of the Punic wars. After all, the Romans did it too in times of extreme crisis.

October 30th, 1929
A distraught and corrupted New York stock broker plummets to his death as law enforcement watches helplessly from the curb.
The man willingly leapt to his demise as specially tasked law enforcement attempted to infiltrated his office on suspicions of fraudulent investments.
Officer Duncan Fraser (seen in the rear of the photo) was on traffic watch when the incident unfolded, and is quoted as saying "Poor bastard. Tomorrow night have been a brighter day", which after widespread media attention is credited with the first time the term was popularized in pop culture terminology.
Now my question is, what did he mean by this? And would Hollywood ever make a movie about this?

What's fraudulent investment banking compared to state-sanctioned investment banking? :^)
>>
It's a shame a cop couldn't get there in time to help him.
It's for the best though, as being involved in high level fraud like that is dangerous and if he talked to the cops his whole family would have been killed.
Any idea on how many stories he fell?
>>
It was a meme. There were no brokers jumping out windows, only a small increase in suicides in the following depression.

No, because a nihilist who thinks life is worth living, by definition, has become an absurdist.

No more easily than you can convince him that suicide is worth bothering about.

How did this degenerate TWAT manage to become King of England? He literally spawned the worst dynasty in the history of England.

Something about some welsh rebel courtier marrying the King's mum in secret, and somehow being catapulted to power.
England should've gone to Plantagenet heirs not these welsh usurpers.

Don't you talk shit about the Tudors. The Stuarts are clearly the worst dynasty.

>Be it so. This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs.
Was he in the right?

He was pretty based. A violent bully, perhaps, but what kind of Imperial military leader shouldn't be?

Hard to argue with that.

Anyone can help me identify this? Got it cheap today on a garage sale, I don't think the owner realised how valuable such things are and just dumped it with the rest of old stuff.

why are Prussiapros so insistent on including Poland to their imaginary Prussiablobs? what unholy power makes them want a land that is culturally, linguistically, geographically and economically different from their own in every single aspect? why the fuck do they need Poland in their Asperger plans?

It's actually a very complex metaphysical criticism of religion in context of social standarts during the renaissance.
By forgetting his umbrella he let's the sun (=god) shine upon his head which prevents him from rationally evaluating the world and reach through enlightement.
The real genius doesn't get shined on, he shines from within.

Did he do anything right? Literally the only reason he made his advances was because A. Churchill pulled out troops and sent them to Greece, and B. Germany was reading American code, basically giving them all of British plans.

I don't know, but modern French food tries to rely on local ingredients rather than imported or foreign herbs and spices, so it wasn't neccesarily as bland as people might imagine

Salty and vinagary.

This pretty much.
Plenty of flavorings outside spices (i.e. condiments, oils, and sauces.)

What advice would you give someone who has hardly paid attention in history class and doesn't know anything about the country (Germany) he lives in?
Only thing I kind of know stuff about is spanish conquista + some italy related stuff from latin class.
I feel pathetic about it and really want to catch up but don't really know where to start/what's generally the best way to educate myself as in documentaries/books/internet etc. I realize with the many sources that exist these days it shouldn't be too hard, but I'd like to get some advice from people who know their stuff

Germans were dirty pagan barbarians, got Christianized, fell in love with Roman glory, fought over the right to call themselves Emperor of Rome, then eventually decided Rome was gay and they didn't even care about it, and became enamored with their own country and barbarous traditions and decided to kill everyone who wasn't German.
