iirc they contracted some of the big modders from EU4 to work on EU5 so I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the work of Katharevousa, the brain behind Voltaire’s nightmare
Modern historians (lame): “can’t wait to index my 3618 references for my 26 page paper!”
Ancient historians (chad): “it is said that…” “we are told that…”

1. Get rid of that 300 development horde on your northern border
2. Hire some advisors to get your meritocracy up
3. Make sure you own and control Nanjing, Gunagzhou, and Beijing
4. Reduce devastation by building forts and developing your provinces
5. Get more tributaries

Horrific stuff, let me know when they make a dating app whose primary female demographic is fencers who AREN’T poisoned by this particular internet subculture. Think bookish, baggy sweaters, coke-bottle glasses, ttrpg and otome-game playing etc.

Can you not read vowsh vee? They said that you aren’t allowed to have an opinion about Ukraine on twitter because twitter opinions wouldn’t have prevented the Iraq war if twitter existed in 2003.
Imagine if Palestine wasn’t completely choked off from all avenues of social and economic development by the domineering presence of a country that completely surrounds them and whose end goal is the total annexation of what remains of Palestine
Imagine if Hamas used their power to create a thriving Palestinian civil society, fight corruption, or benefit people to show the path to a successful Palestinian state
Instead we get kidnappings and throats getting slit on film
Hamas achieves nothing but revenge fantasies
Re-enacters in modern Nigeria are keeping the longstanding tradition of quilted cavalry armor alive in the Sahel! Here are some badass Hausa guys wearing the armor and barding of the medieval Hausa Kingdoms.

Im aware, why else would I volunteer to play in the pit orchestra at every musical that my University theatre group puts on?

These numerology niggas will find out you celebrated your 24th birthday and stop talking to you because 24 is the square root of 576 and the 5th 7th and 6th letters of the alphabet are EGF which stands for Eternal God Fugitive which means you’ve been corrupted by the jesuits

I saw someone say, “some leftists don’t include disabled people in their ideal future” as if that’s a bad thing. It seems trivial that the ideal future doesn’t include disabled people, since they’d all be cured!
They way dudes turn on female characters is insane. The moment things got a bit serious and Lois got angry it was over. Now its essay after essay about how horrible she is. Some of you dont know how characters work.

Suburban moms have been psyopped so hard. 200,000 children are kidnapped/falsely imprisoned by their OWN PARENTS each year, compared to less than 300 by strangers.
This joke fails because the surname of the Han dynasty emperors was Liu. The dynasty was called Han because it was the name of the state that Liu Bang founded before he became emperor
This is only true of southern and central Africa. By the 15th century, west africa and the horn were filled with fully-fledged states. The Hausa kingdoms, Kanem-Bornu, Yoruba city-states, Benin, Dahomey, Mali, Great Fulo, Wolof, Denkyira, Ašante, etc. This is just the west btw.
The majority of Precolonial Africans lived in decentralized stateless societies. A village or Confederation of Villages was the highest political unit. A range of positions of authority existed within these villages, but no one person or group claimed the positions of ruler.
The elite cavalry of the Bornu empire adorned themselves in expertly-crafted scale armor, and even had full scale boarding for their horses. They were famed for their bravery in battle

Maybe in Mormonism, but you’d be hardpressed to find any catholic or orthodox scholars who consider God the Father to have a physical body. Christ’s glorified body is in heaven as a function of his ascendance after the resurrection, but the son too is a spiritual being by nature.

Game theory being in the place of Lotharingia implies that it will eventually succumb to feudal devolution and fracture into various smaller channels
I've always had kind of a "second in command" complex. Growing up, I always preferred the lieutenants, the right-hand-men. The second-most important team member, the main guy's top guy.
Duty, loyalty, honor, not glory-seeking. That's what I wanted to be like.
@femalekissinger
wake up guys, new christology alert. the miracle of the sacrament isn't consubstantiation or transubstantiation, but asubstantiation! It's just a regular cracker and there's no miracle!
