Threads should be about specific topics, and the creation of "general" threads is discouraged.

For the purpose of determining what is history, please do not start threads about events taking place less than 25 years ago.

Why didn't the Norse colonies in North America work out? Why didn't they spread diseases to the locals like the later ones did?
>>
>>16894982
Low population density. The diseases mostly wrecked the high density cities of meso and south America. Most of what the modern US was is low population injun bands with no semblance of civilization. Basically what the Iberians came across was Egypt vs Sub-Saharan tribals that the bongs came across
>>
>why didn't the colonies work out
Atlantic Canada is poor even today, they were a long way from reinforcements. Had to actually kill or drive off tribal peoples, as well, which vikings struggled with even in Europe (consider the Finns and Sami, far closer to Scandinavia), didn't have a state structure in which they could just replace the kings or nobility. Not much to loot to make fighting worth it.
>Why didn't they spread diseases to the locals like the later ones did
Iceland didn't have smallpox yet. Also, these were illiterate societies who would go like half a millennium before the next time they contacted Euros, so if they had spread diseases we probably wouldn't know about it.

>The most popular Fetishes amongst Women

>50 cis women were asked about what sexual fetishes they had which were added to a list of fetishes alongside a description of the fetish. Then 500 cis women ticked boxes on what fetishes they had. Cis female scientists were used as women tend to lie to male scientists about their sexuality

>The following are the top fetishes amongst women, how many women have it and the description of the fetish:

>1. Financial Domination 98% "I get turned on when I take money from men or men buy me gifts."

>2. Loving Myself 97% "I romantically love myself, I get turned on by how I look and act."

>3. Feminist Cuckolding 85% "I want to sleep with other men when I have a partner but the men I sleep with are beneath me and serve me sexually they are not degrading me."

>4. Teasing 78% "I want to flirt with men I won't have sex with so I feel sexy and they give me attention."

>5. Queen and her Knight 63% "I want to date a successful masculine man who treats me like I am better than him and worships me as a queen."

Its deeply intrenched in consciousness. Gorillas are technically a cuckolding species where the alpha male has the full breeding rights for all females in the troop. Captive chimpanzees were also taught the value of currency in the form of items they could redeem for special food and the males immediately gave the money to the females and then fucked them.

I refuse to believe that Röhm, one of Hitler's most loyal to followers was attempting to coup him. Every correspondence leading up to his execution leads no credence to him trying to betray Hitler, in a way I'm certain Röhm might have even loved Hitler

I really want to be neutral to Xtians as a Turkish male but the fact that Europeans declared crusades on us (not only one but more than a dozen) and the fact that Vatican, which apologized to Greece, is yet to apologize to Turkey really makes it hard for me to do. Crusades were completely unjustified and the amount of oppression in our own native homeland by the crusaders and their lackeys Byzantines we faced makes my blood boil.

Turks did not assimilate the population but mixed with the local population. Today, Turks have around 30% Central Asian DNA. That is about as much as the British have Anglo-Saxon DNA, the Germans have Germanic DNA and the Greeks have Hellenic (Mycenaean) DNA.

Just consider this error range in Soviet democide, as shown in Figure 1.1. It is larger than the population of 96 percent of the world's nations and countries. Actually, if France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Switzerland were blasted clean of all human life in a nuclear war, the human toll would be less than just this range in the Soviet's probable democide--the range, and not even the total murdered.

It is impossible to fix in mind and digest this democide. Focusing on the most probable estimate of 61,911,000 murdered, as shown in Table 1.2 it is over four times the battle dead (15,000,000) for all nations in the Second World War.12 Indeed, it exceeds the total deaths (35,700,000) from all this century's international, civil, guerrilla, and liberation wars, including the Russian Civil War itself.13 Many other comparisons are given in Table 1.2 and Figure 1.5, the purpose of which is to communicate some feel for what the Soviet democide means in sheer numbers.

... in terms of the annual risk it posed to the soviet citizen. Table 1.3 shows this risk of death from war and some commonplace risks, like smoking or cancer. Figure 1.6, following, graphs some of them.

Now consider just the low democide estimate of 24,063,000 citizens murdered. This is an absolute, rock bottom, low. It is calculated from all the most conservative, lowest estimates, for all kinds and sources and periods of democide, for 1917 to 1987. It is highly improbable that all these hundreds of very low estimates are correct. The low of 24,063,000 killed is over 20,000,000 dead below the 42 year average (1918-1959) low estimate among experts or knowledgeable Soviets; more important, it is over 15,000,000 dead below the 42 year average of those low estimates based on census data (see Appendix 1.1). Yet, this lower limit of 24,063,000 citizens murdered is itself much greater than the 15,000,000 battle dead of the largest, most lethal war of all time.

Ricky Lee Green and his wife Sharon committed a brutal string of mutilation murders in the Fort Worth, Texas area in the mid-1980s, the tragic end result of a childhood from Hell. Green was a native of Fort Worth and was born in the central Texas city on December 27, 1960. His father Bill was a sadist who enjoyed torturing his five children on a regular basis. Ricky's brother Perry claimed that their father administered electric shocks, punched them in the stomach, or held their heads under water until they almost drowned. When Ricky was 6, Bill told him to run for it as he fired at him with a BB gun. He was hit with most of the shots as his father sarcastically told him to run faster next time. Bill told his son he was worthless and would never amount to anything. Ricky's grandfather also repeatedly molested him.

Green lost an eye at some point in his childhood when he ran into barbed wire and had to get a prosthetic glass eyeball. He quit school in the 8th grade and got a job as a radiator repairman. In February 1984 he got married to a woman named Mary Francis but the honeymoon ended in only two months when Green began suspecting his wife was cheating on him. One night when he was drunk Mary came home and he got out a knife and raped her. Afterwards she grabbed her stuff, left the house, and never came back. A few weeks later he met Sharon Dollar, a known junkie, and she soon moved in with him. One evening during sex Sharon poked Ricky's penis with a sewing needle and drew blood, which she then drank.

>I'm not him, the Buddha acted sensibly according to the situation, why would he torture his body unnecessarily?
Go back to the OP. My point is that even Buddha didn't get what could reasonably be called "stable happiness". I agree that listening to your body when it sends suffering signals to your brain is a good idea. Buddhists however are often adamant that Buddha felt no suffering.

>His body also got sick
Which makes no sense given he claimed to be a superman who could live for eons and fly to the moon.

>the conditions of suffering weren't present in the Buddha
And why do you believe that? Like I said above, if you want to quibble about the word "suffering", then take it as "Buddha couldn't even liberate himself from losing vigor and vitality due to external factors". If my body sends me unpleasant feedback that detracts from my efforts in some way I count that as suffering, and this happened with Buddha.

>Try putting his teachings into practice sometime I guess and see if it works
It didn't even work for Buddha himself. His pains as an old man still got in his way.

>it's about suffering and the cessation of suffering
Buddha was suffering even at the end. He never achieved this. Unless you count death, which is the cessation of suffering for everybody anyway.

No, he got it, the problem is that it's only stable locally, not globally. Eventually you die, and the steady state ends (if you're lucky, if you're unlucky it ends and then you spend a period dying and then die), and then you're reborn.

>Which makes no sense given he claimed to be a superman who could live for eons and fly to the moon.
He didn't claim this.

>if you want to quibble about the word "suffering"
It's not a quibble, you're just using an incorrect definition. "Dukkha" isn't "agony" or "torture", it's "any unpleasantness arising from conditioned reality".

>It didn't even work for Buddha himself.
But it did, he parinirvanad out. He succeeded. That's the entire point.

>Buddha was suffering even at the end.
By definition he was not experiencing dukkha, no.
