@copesint The kingdom of Jerusalem existed from 1099 - 1291, that’s almost 200 years.

With the exception of Edessa which only lasted 50 years, all the others lasted over 150 years.

Also notably longer than many Muslim states in the region too.

[I Need Help @GGold083004]

@copesint Ya, the Crusader states survived like 150 years, longer than many countries that exist today. A person could be born, grow up, and die under Christian rule.

That wouldn’t have happened if they were losing all the time.

@EpicMorgana32 @USA_Polling Every 5-10 years, the continent switches from far left to far right and back again.

The past few years have seen a mostly left wing SA flip right.

In another few years, it’ll flip back.

@DanielDruger @leo1yu Honestly idk for sure, we already had infinite redbull by the time I joined.

But I’m pretty sure they just kinda reach out.

It’s informal tho bc frats are non profits

They don’t pay us, just drop off redbull at the house for free and we have it available at parties

[I Need Help @GGold083004]

@DanielDruger @leo1yu Decent number of frats are sponsored.

My fraternity and a bunch of other chapters were all sponsored by Redbull.

I went to visit brothers at UNC, and they literally had a redbull throne bc they got so much free drinks.

My own frat was smaller so we didn’t get quite as much

@politica1_news @Q2Quokka The Kremlin loves to co-opt ideological extremes.

Both far left and right wing parties seem to love gobbling on Putin’s cock

To the right, Russia is a bastion of Western civilization and Christianity

To the left, it is opposed to Western imperialism and capitalism.

@StageManDown_G @Para919 Family name

[I Need Help @GGold083004]

@StageManDown_G @Para919 Their first contract was 1526 tho, for 185 arquebus barrels. But they had to have been operating earlier, just not at a large scale.

[I Need Help @GGold083004]

@StageManDown_G @Para919 Probably older, 1526 is just the earliest document we have of them.

But presumably they were already a well established gunmaker by then if they were taking large government contracts

And still family owned, 15 generations of running the company

@idonotexistelol The steam sales are great. I usually only buy in December or July but when I do I’ll buy like 10-20 games

@JacquesSchnee @boom_tentpeg @ajoajoajoaj I argue it’s not military protection but deterrence.

The Ottomans were still respected as a great power, if a dying one

Invasions and incursions occurred , but the Spanish wars were mostly about border territory around the Spanish cities in North Africa.

No annexation

[I Need Help @GGold083004]

@JacquesSchnee @boom_tentpeg @ajoajoajoaj Yes but it the was dejure protection of being in the Ottoman sphere of influence that gave them some level of protection.

For a European power to invade Algeria or Tunisia and occupy it would be a disruption of the concert of Europe which the Ottomans were part of

@coffeewithkream @lacho_ai_ @realDonaldTrump You are human cattle

[I Need Help @GGold083004]

@boom_tentpeg @ajoajoajoaj Tbf, for most of the early modern period, North Africa was all Ottoman vassals. They could get away with their raids bc the Ottomans could protects them and even as they declined, were considered a “near peer” power to the great powers of Europe.

@RacePopeIII The Taiwanese method is most humane imo.

They sedate the prisoner, then shoot them.

It’s not cruel, the prisoner doesn’t even process it, and if they don’t die instantly, the drugs ensure they aren’t in pain.

@TwerksterMode I love how people are collectively rewriting the entire series to have a female Draco through short comics and pictures.

Like I’m sure if you catalogued all of them you could probably compiled a decently long comic book

@bigseb31213 Don’t you love luxury boomer communism?

@CStickernoodle It’s not that hard to ignore if you have something else to focus on, presumably modeling is his job and he’s had practice.

Or he’s just asexual or gay.

[I Need Help @GGold083004]

@CStickernoodle If it’s your job, you learn, probably just not looking to hard

I’m taking sculpting classes at my local community college for fun, we have a couple nude models, both of them very attractive women.

I feel nothing while I’m working cause I’m too locked in trying to mold the clay.
