I’d be surprised if no one has ever addressed this, but Jesus can’t be “of the tribe of David” and also the “Son of God” because the first was through Joseph and the second one was through Yahweh, and no man can have two “real”
(biological) fathers.
Logically, he could be the Jewish Messiah OR the Son of God but not both.
Autism is when you have an idealistic streak and literally no other problems, famously.
I remember being saddled with a “literal autist” back in the Boy Scouts, in middle school. Kid was named Spencer. I strongly contemplated killing the retarded bastard at several points. It was a factor in my decision to ultimately leave the organization.
The sarissas provided some protection, but whether it blocked most projectiles is debatable. Also, “most projectiles” isn’t good enough for an unsupported pike phalanx. Even if the enemy ran out of missiles and was completely on foot, the pikemen would have to drop the pikes in order to chase them effectively, meaning that they would only be armed with knives and bucklers, hardly any better than the troops they were chasing.
Not coincidentally, unsupported heavy infantry was very rarely used.
The Macedonian army of Alexander typically brought heavy cavalry and some ranged troops, such as archers, slingers, and javelin-armed peltasts.
@uncle_deluge 20,000 years ago was the Last Glacial Maximum. Considering how inhospitable Siberia is today, when the Earth is 10 degrees Fahrenheit warmer overall than at the LGM, it’s highly unlikely that the area could have sustained some sort of massive tribal confederation long term.

@MassiveNigga@SocialNomadRach It’s not violent so it doesn’t meet the platonic medieval ideal of rape (part of the reason I called it quasi-consensual) but the whole encounter was indeed a bit weird (also part of the reason why I called it quasi-consensual).
Under my ideal system, we have a semi-hereditary, semi-elective king obligated to take an oath upholding some of the broader White Nationalist principles, on the condition that, if he (or even her, if that proves necessary) violates them, his entire extended family (minus those who were eager to take a similar oath) would be put to death, with the former king being imprisoned until the end of his days, hence denying him of martyrdom and forcing himself to spend the remainder of his natural lifespan contemplating how he chose, via his actions, to kill his entire family.
Many high-functioning woke Whites choose (and historically chose) to embrace that ideology because it makes them feel like they are being (morally) good people. How common are these people in fact? I don’t know, but they act as an ideal and as a beacon to the rest. Killing them would only strengthen that self-perception of virtuous martyrdom. Hence these measures would decisively head those sentiments off.
The initial cabal of nobles (several hundred of them) would be selected on a tripartite basis: merit, ideological conformity, and connections to existing noble families.
Ciri voluntarily joined a gang of bandits known as “the Rats”, voluntarily participated in the killing and stealing under the pseudonym of Falka, and, after nearly being raped by another member of “the Rats”, she has a semi-consensual encounter with Mistle.
The only “weird” thing in the passage is the treatment of lesbianism as something between a novelty and a fetish, which is reflective of how these things were perceived in post-Soviet Poland. The author considers it to be too arousing to be worth any further examination.
Pope Leo criticized blanket “remigration” as a solution to the migrant crisis in Europe, saying it doesn’t respect the personhood of foreigners.
“Many times we don't recognize the reasons why these people had to leave their countries. Many reasons: violence, war, conflict. So simply saying, 'We'll send them away, so we can wash our hands of the problem,' doesn't seem like the most Christian response to me. We really need to look at the cases, and above all, treat people with respect as individuals.”
