> Ethiopian emissaries did pass through Bohemia on their way north at one point
And any citation of that...?
>If it's referring to trade between solely central and west Europe, it's right, but between the near-east and central Europe Bohemia was a logical stop.
Bohemia is Central Europe. And as Sedlar states,
>"Bohemia lay aside from the main long-distance routes through Central Europe, which in medieval times were linked to the Rhine or the Danube and their tributaries. This meant that its foreign trade was largely regional in scope; and Prague lacked the commercial importance of Vienna, Nuernberg, or Regensburg, where transit trade played a major role."
> ...
> "The kingdom of Bohemia was unfavorably situated to profit from staple rights, since the most important medieval transit routes bypassed its territory. The chief international thoroughfares which crossed in Prague--those from Nuernberg into Hungary and from Regensburg to Wroclaw-were of only secondary importance."
So no, hardly "a logical stop". Of "Central/West Europe and Venice, the Kipchak Khanate, Constantinople, and a little thing called the Ottoman Empire", the only route actually passing through Bohemia is the one ending or beginning in Bohemia. Now of course, unless you're insane, if you're going to the east, you actually start south and board a boat in the Adriatic. It's like three times faster.
> And as I pointed out, Ethiopian emissaries did pass through Bohemia on their way north at one point.
"At one point"? That's a rather strong appeal to chance, don't you think? In a land of a few million people, there was an Ethiopian emissary at one point - wonderful, so the average chance for a Medieval Bohemian to meet an exotic foreigner once in his life just went up from 0% to 0.02%! Now that's progress! That would perfectly justify his inclusion in the game! /s
> The level of stubbornness people display on this issue is interesting.
This I agree with; you are indeed exceedingly stubborn.
> e.g. they both use negging but is there a version where it is way more harsh? also, are pick up artists more socially acceptable than the red pillers
"Negging" is a specific PUA technique from the "Mystery Method" that is meant to "break through the bitch shield" and convince a woman that you are (in essence) sincere about engaging her socially and not just messing around. This is perhaps the most positive way to phrase that. PUAs "play a numbers game" in order to engage women that, as they see it, "want to be picked up".
A PUA is on a mission to get himself laid; whether or not that technique leads to something more substantive exceeds the scope of the technique. The general consensus is that these are "Dark Side of the Force" tactics.
Whether this is more socially acceptable than the red-pillers' deeper issues with power and sexual politics probably depends on your perspective.
To add to this, 25% of Americans are Evangelical or similar faiths. Since the 1980's after the Fundamental Baptist preacher, Falwell, created a coalition of both Fundamentalists and Evangelicals to infiltrate society and politics to recreate the US under theocracy, many of these people have either been actively seeking or have not been opposed to a Christian theocracy. It is not wholly uncommon to see members of this 25% worshiping politicians or training their followers how to vote and what to support.
Edit: Don’t get mad at the messenger. This is all from their own mouths. Obviously there’s bias for religion here . . .
Edit2: This sort of proves the point that Americans, whether they are Christian or not, give the benefit of the doubt to religion, regardless of stakes. I challenge you to disprove anything I said: Falwell created the Moral Majority, created a religious coalition with the express interest to re enter society and elect republicans, and here’s evangelicals worshiping Bush.
Here is a book about Falwell that’s probably as honest as you can get (thank god for modern anthropology).
Nothing about the work itself was really all that interesting - we wrote pretty bog standard fleet management, revenue management, and data warehousing software. I do basically the same things now, but for the rental car industry, there are a lot of parallels. What was interesting about this job specifically was learning the history and seeing how much work goes into managing a fleet of millions of containers, which we produced in-house for quality control purposes. It wasn't something I'd ever really thought about before.
I always enjoy learning more about stuff that's normally taken for granted - without intermodal shipping, we wouldn't have the global economy. This book was really eye opening. Malcolm McLean was one of the biggest innovators in the history of the transportation industry.
When you have a book for kids like this existing: Elon Musk and the Quest for a Fantastic Future

...Can you really be surprised that he's got a bit of an ego?
One of their former writers, Ben Thompson, wrote a pretty great book called Badass. He's also the maintainer of badassoftheweek, which used to be great but is pretty well dead now. Not sure what he's doing nowadays, but that's about as much "fame" as most writers will ever achieve.
I recommend reading The Plantegents it’s an easy to read book that isn’t that dry most of the time.
Someone made a "Do You Like Bread" T Shirt lol https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HYSY1RR
The Eleven Nations of North America (2012) is very similar, and by it's greater number more granular on the topic. As a New Yorker (New Netherlands) I can see its differentiation from New England (Yankeedom.)
Hijacking the top answer to add that All Out War by Tom Shipman is an excellent read if you want a deep dive into what was going on behind the scenes in the months leading up to the vote. Much has happened since its publication, and if I recall correctly, there's a revised edition out, containing updates from 2017-2018.
Also look for The Annotated Scripts. Particularly with A New Hope you can see how radically different the story was and how it changed and evolved. In the first draft Han Solo was a green skinned alien!!
The book is basically a transcript of the movies but with foot notes that provide background information and insight into earlier drafts.

If it's the same Simon Baron-Cohen I'm thinking of, then he doesn't support this memo's arguments. Baron-Cohen explicitly points to biology as a starting point for differences between the sexes, and advocated for the ability of social and cultural change to erase this over maturation. He definitely would disagree with the broad, sweeping generalizations made, too: he constantly points out the 'female' brain is not inherent to only females, the 'male' brain not inherent to males, etcetera. Channeling his work to justify bias against women in the workplace is a very unfortunate distortion.
> I don't get it, why isn't she really writing anymore?
She'll basically never run out of money with what she did and it's really hard to make up new stuff. No reason to rush.
Having said that, she somewhat recently wrote this.
You need to get your head out of your ass mate. They don't want to "meet the left halfway", they aren't interested in dialogue, or compromise, or getting along.
They would glady curb stomp you and piss on your corpse except it's just slightly against their favor right now. But every cringing waffling "surely we can talk through our differences!" type empowers them.
Since you enjoy edification, pick up a book next time.
Answer:
Summarizing sites like 4chan in a reddit post is really hard.
"This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things" is a pretty fantastic gonzo-journalism/ethnography about online trolling culture circa 2012 that dives deep into the culture of 4chan users and other outlines of "troll culture".
I recommend it because I think it gives a better answer about the essence of those sites than is possible in this thread.
But to attempt to provide something in the way of an answer, I'll summarize the book's ultimate hypothesis:
Gators can't chew. They usually kill their prey by doing the "death roll" and drowning them, and then stashing them in a lair somewhere under a river bank. After a few days, the decomposition process softens the meat enough for the gator to eat it.
Read about it in a children's book, of all places.
Yikes. Literally none of this is accurate (as demonstrated by you using The Sun as a resource).
This is why it's important that people read the actual court transcripts and interviews instead of relying on tabloids and half-assed documentaries.
