@lotfgame @MortalShellGame What fantasy armor do you like the most? Drop a picture in the thread 🙌
English

We were recently talking about great-looking fantasy armor. Here are two of my favorites:
The Dark Crusader Armor from @lotfgame
and
Eredrim Armor from @MortalShellGame

@nonregemesse Roman/Greek Placenta evolved during the medieval ages into Baklava.
English

I’ve never had baclava. Which one is the original? I want to try that first
MENA Visuals@menavisualss
🥧 Five versions of sweet Baklava, each version has its own flavor and flavour. which one is your favorite?
English

I'm super curious how well a Europe would work where we add a European state, remove the national administrative layer and keep all provincial and local layers.

Draghi is right! Europe is its people, not its nation states

@nonregemesse Perhaps ask in Japanese so that the algorithm is more likely to show it to them

@RomeInTheEast @JoePostingg @OwenEdwards You see, back in the day, prostitues were called Lupas... so if you see it through the lens of royal orphans raised by a Prostitute...

@JoePostingg @OwenEdwards Romulus may be real, but I would challenge anyone to go try to suck milk out a wolf…see how that ends lol

@ShitpostRock2 Why would you use the papal flag for latin instead of the SPQR flag

@planefag The westoids have an incresible air of suoeriority. "We dont do that in getmany"
English

I used to default to the assumption that there's many very nice Europeans and Twitter just had a selection effect for terminally online assholes. As time went on and even "conservative" Europeans almost always began exchanges by calling Americans racially mixed mutts, this conclusion wavered.
After 48 hours interacting with Japanese twitter, the stark contrast is making me think that most Europeans are exactly like what they present themselves as on here.

@WallStreetMav Gee, I wonder what do modern people all across the known world lack when compared to our ancestors.

My strongest blackpill belief is that UBI will lead to an overwhelming amount of mental illness
most people if they are honest w themselves need external boundaries and challenges imposed on them
You're asking everyone on the planet to self-govern their whole lives when most cant even go to bed on time now when they have work early

@ManifoldMango @Pirat_Nation It's simple - not all countries using the euro have the same level of wealth. By selling cheaper in the poorer ones, you might convince more people to buy leading to a bigger profit rather than selling only to those who can afford.
English

@Pirat_Nation How in God's name is the euro worth more in one region and less worth in others? Every country using the Euro as a currency has the same purchasing power with said Euro. The only difference in pricing would be if different regions used their own currency and not the Euro.
English

Valve has updated its Steam pricing tools for developers.
They now offer three ways to set regional prices for games:
- Simple currency exchange rate
- Purchasing power parity (based on what people can actually afford)
- A mix of multiple data sources
For a $60 USD game, this can mean very different prices in other countries, like €51, €43, or €62 in parts of Europe.
The change is optional. Existing games stay the same unless updated.

Worshipping Sparta as the pinnacle of martial ethos is a mistake, for martial excellence comes not only from brawn but also from brains, not only tactical but also strategical.
Sparta had the best training, a very harsh regimen (agoge), creating the best disciplined and iron like military men, probably the highest quality soldiers in the world at their height. But this was reserved only for the Spartiates, the full citizens of the polis, who amounted to only a couple thousand men during most of its history. They were very slow to grow their population and manpower, and acceptance of foreigners into citizenship was extremely rare, so any loss of Spartan citizens in battle was irreplaceable; a massive strategic weakness: oliganthropia.
Knowing this weakness, Spartans often exploited their martial fame for psychological warfare, forcing indecision and surrenders merely by their presence on the battlefield, sometimes without even engaging the enemy. The whole laconic mindset, speaking and acting from a position of complete dominance, was integral to this approach. All surviving written sources reflect this awed perspective of non-Spartans.
When Sparta acted cautiously, arrived very late (perhaps to evade battle altogether), used religious festivals or periods as excuses to avoid fighting, or like in the Persian War, refused to leave the Peloponnese, building a defensive perimeter instead of upholding the joint defensive posture with the Athenians, they always invoked dominance and piety, never admitting their cautious near cowardice, to preserve the laconic facade.
Their complete strategical failure is clear in the Battle of Sphacteria during the Peloponnesian War, where 120 promising Spartiates were captured. Though the number seems small, losing that many core citizens was catastrophic, cowering Sparta into near total surrender and inactivity under Athenian pressure, shocking the entire Greek world.
So in summary, Sparta’s production of the highest quality military men is only half the story. They were tactically near invincible for a long time, but without strategic foresight, without expanding their numbers and improving their position by adapting, they were doomed in the end. Yet their legend persists, hopefully not just as mindless hype, but also as a cautionary tale: to never rest on your laurels, and to keep adapting even while at the top.

@captive_dreamer How about just a Christ-follower?
