History general Anonymous 325492[Reply]

Maybe I'm being an idiot again but I can't find any history-related threads or generals. So I'm gonna make one and I'll start with a question I've been thinking about lately.
What was social mobility like in European and maybe some other countries?
I didn't research it quite thoroughly yet, but in Russian Empire there was something called Table of Ranks. If a commoner spent enough time at the 14th rank and higher they could gain something called "personal nobility". This does not get passed down to your descendants. 8th rank and higher could grant you "hereditary nobility".

That's actually the last episode the playlist is backwards like youtube playlists always are.
I think some of the episodes of Soviet Storm are down on youtube, probably they're on internet archive.

I can't remember if it was that one or the Why We Fight that had a great display of the Road of Life, when Lenningrad was cut off and they built the railroad over the frozen lake and all this craziness. I wish there were cool ducmentaries new ones, but they are all given to be made by individual IDIOTS on youtube now. Oh my the history youtube people, some of them are so bad.

They also don't make historical movies anymore really. There's no Waterloo, anymore. There's not even a Ghost in the Darkness. It's all superhero TRASH!

I quote Waterloo all the time too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Me9P8mrj6mI

Ghost in the Darkness, when the lion kills three of the hunters at the same time and gets into the hospital. And then it cuts to morning and all the men are stacked on top of the train as it's leaving. That is one of the best scenes the music and everything.

What's crazy is Waterloo and Zulu were made by different people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSEU5zHgcTc That's just the way they made movies in the 1960s and 1970s, actually good and real. They feel proper and real. Also the Zulu movie as far as I know invented that famous shot where you have an army slowly appearing on a hill, which is used a lot.

I find it's easier to remember if you think about their etymology. E.g. undulate has "und—" as the root, which means wave iirc. It's related to words like inundate and, more obviously, undulant. Not related to ululate at all, but looks similar.

Americans think living in a socialist police state is normal, but freedom is not some textbook theory.

There are still some Americans alive today who will tell you that freedom is better.

Anonymous 325777

>>325776
But you know what is a textbook theory?
"Fabula and syuzhet". Per wikipedia:
>In narratology, fabula refers to the chronological sequence of events within the world of a narrative and syuzhet equates to the sequence of events as they are presented to the reader. Vladimir Propp and Viktor Shklovsky originated the terminology as part of the Russian Formalism movement in the early 20th century. Narratologists have described fabula as "the raw material of a story", and syuzhet as "the way a story is organized.
The see-also section gave me another new word, "lisible".
>Lisible is a word from the French for 'legible' used to denote a text that requires no true participation from its audience. It was coined by the French literary critic Roland Barthes in his book S/Z and expanded from his essay "The Death of the Author". Barthes contrasts texte lisible, denoting a closed work, with texte scriptible, a text open to interpretation. In Barthes's opinion, lisible works provide no challenge to the reader's preconceived notions and thus are inferior to scriptible works, exemplified by modernist literature. Barthes contends that lisible works still emphasize the importance of the author, whereas for scriptible texts "the reader is the very space in which are inscribed, without any being lost, all the citations a writing consists of; the unity of a text is not in its origin, it is in its destination

Alright, I found a gardening thread on /diy/. Some of these people use electronics for their potted plants, which I find interesting!
I wish it had an elaborate op faq like the electronics general. Maybe if I get really bored one day I could try making one.

I also randomly kinda thought, didn't people settle by the rivers for the purposes of irrigation. What if I connected pots to like a 3rd long pot filled with water. How would this work.

Well I'm back from my 2 day adventure, and you know the greatest adventure is what lies ahead, did you know that?

I'm sure while I was gone with no internet, maybe WWIII happened, but most importantly everyone on r9k was wondering "did he make it to Dormer Pass?" ….No. I did not. Iet you down. I feel like GeoWizard that one time he got stopped by a cliff in the rain, "This is the end of the road guys…. I'm so sorry."
I'll try again to get there, since I will be the first person on the planet to photograph the area, obviously.

I actually almost met Steve in Edmonton at one point. He was filming around downtown where I was at one point but of course I only realised later. I wanna meet him in some rand– see because I basically do stealth camping, my tent is all low profile and camouflage wow. And I neeeever pay for hotel GARBAGE. Even my gothic lolita slave wife sleeps in the tent with me.

Do you have a mind's eye? Anonymous 325781[Reply]

ever since i first learnt about aphantasia vs hyperphantasia, i've been really curious about it
i've wanted to pry further into all the various ways in which people experience their inner-worlds; how their senses feel, how these differences affect loving, learning, sleeping, etc. it's not a topic that was brought up to me within a real interaction, nor was it something i questioned on my own, and it makes me think about just how many other idiosyncrasies have the potential to be hugely impactful, but often overlooked or under noticed. the unspoken gaps between human personalities. my family & friends haven't been that interested in discussing it in detail, probably because i'm not pushy enough (or it's boring), so i'm dropping these questions here out of curiosity

>do you see images in your head? pictures, smells, sounds? can you manipulate the imagery, conjure things at will, distract yourself? is it subtle, or a strong landscape of colours and forms?

>do you literally see shapes when you close your eyes, as if they're there but still not really, or is it simply black behind the eyelids, but your mind remains envisioning things?
>if you don't see images (aphantasia), do you still dream?
>can you re-experience memories in high detail, almost as if you're reliving the moment?
>do you see things when you read?
>do you have one or two senses, but not others? fe you can hear things, but not see or touch?
>do you have an internal monologue? constantly, infrequently? or do you have to force it? is it audible, or just vaguely there
>have you heard of this topic before, or questioned it on your own?
>if you have hyperphantasia, do you like it?

This image is an entirely inaccurate description of how it feels to visualise images, especially for the literal-minded (such as those with a certain disorder common on imageboards). Also, it seems like a great way to totally mislead aphantasiacs about the experience of mental imaging and lead them to believe that others literally create hallucinations lucid-dream style.
I don't necessarily blame the artist for this just because it is a difficult thing by nature to translate into a real image, but I don't think this is the only possible way either.
If you interpret the scale as metaphorical, then I am something like a 2. Decent but not, like, eidetic, which is what I guess 1 is supposed to represent.

Why not make castration mandatory for adolescent moids who commit sexual harassment and/or have signs that they will (IE hypersexuality, family history)

>Less sexual harassment in general

>Lower recidivism
doi.org/10.1080/19585969.2024.2359923
>Eugenics; rapists aren't allowed to breed
>The first dozen verse of Matthew ch.19 supports it anyway, especially the twelfth (ESV)

This is already what some countries do, including the czech republic, which itself has a big harassment issue (their Easter traditions for instance).
https://www.thehastingscenter.org/is-castration-of-sex-offenders-ever-ethically-justified/

The difference here is that sexual harassment can be practically eradicated altogether if enough people agree on it.

people care too much about the rights and dignity of male offenders, that's why. the article you included says
>The surgery is irreversible, disfiguring, and can cause feelings of humiliation and a lack of dignity. These harms arguably make it cruel and unusual punishment.
you know what's humiliating and un-dignifying? sexual abuse & harassment. cruel? objectification & degradation through a provocative/sexual context. but the mere THOUGHT that male offenders would be punished duly for it is what gets people squirming. the world truly isn't ready to care about women enough, not at all

but from a different perspective, breeding is integral to a lot of people's inherent sense of purpose, so permanently removing someone's ability to have children; even consensually, forever; is too far when the alternative chemical castration exists. if having kids wasn't so precious to people, even going so far as to let severely disabled people reproduce and torture their children with a painful existence, then we'd maybe have a shot.

It's kind of like death penalty, the verdict may not necessarily be correct but by then the changes are irreversible.
Not saying whether this should or should not be implemented but this would be one of the counter arguments.

Anonymous 325778

and it's so irritating because when i bring this up in debates or just conversations they always say it could "ruin a man's life" & what if she's lying? Sure, those are real things that could happen but just because of that small % of women who do, victims can't get the justice they need !!!

This is why I always believe the victim first tbh.. then continue to update my opinion as more evidence comes out.
Victims are already scared enough to come out about what happened to them.

very true.
need to figure out a way to derail these fake stats. but i feel like its hard to change a moids mind if you are not a fellow moid. we could bring up the most logical arguments but will only respect it if a moid says the same thing.
