CNN Compares Alt Right Rogan's n-word Controversy To 1/6, Genocide

I think it really depends. Some people just read Wikipedia and use history to promote supremacist or nationalist ideals. Personally Iike it because it gives an insight into the past and while I do like military history it's also tied to culture. I mostly follow modern day historians on Twitter and read what they recommend, Dr. Roel Konijnendijk really sparked my interest in classical Greek history, not only for writing really detail responses but also trying to frame it within the context of classical Greek culture as well as tear down some of the myths surrounding Greek warfare and the whole aura of western exeptionalism tied to it. I really enjoyed his book on classical Greek warfare precisely because it was as much about Greek culture as it was about warfare.

A perfect example is how the Ancient Greeks had a disdain for authority. This is a something that is told to us by Xenophon and other writers of the 4th century, Xenophon himself was put on trial by his men for beating a disobedient man under his command and he had to fight for his life. Military authority was not inherently valid, and we even hear of men taking pride in being defiant to their commanders. All this stems from the ancient Greek fear of tyrants and the like. It's also why most Greek militias couldn't go further than being poorly organized militias who could only perform the most basic of commands and what made the Spartans stand out with the capability of performing feats such as being able to stay in formation while on the move something only performed by spartan led mercenaries or armies finding themselves in desperate conditions like the Sicilian expedition or the Greco-Thracian mercenary army stuck in the Persian heartland following the death of Kyros the Younger.

Here's an actual good answer on what an angel is in the Bible. Short summary is that strictly speaking angels in the bible look just like human beings and a lot of imagery associated with angels come from Greco-Roman imagery like those associated with the goddess Nike and later texts from theologians.

what is the appeal of Alt Right Rogan anyway?

Where was the Alpha Lucario?

I just saw this but he was chilling somewhere near that slope place in the last map. He was near the hills.

Also the gigaton balls plus some random berries make capturing alphas so much easier.

These are all the alphas I got so far and mostly because I was ignoring them and I was at a decent level to get them in the ice map except for the shiny Luxray, I caught her during the first time going through the 2nd map and she's stayed on my team since.

To catch them all

Compatible with what?

o tempora o mores

Fighting is bad

Just caught an alpha shiny luxray. Pretty much my first shiny in Pokmon, nice.

I've enjoyed it a lot. I haven't purchased a Pokmon game since Diamond but I'm glad I gave this a go. I wish there was mote interactions with your Pokmon but even so I think it's cute seeing them interact outside their pokeballs. I also like that Pokmon tries to have a living world and trying to make sense of it via the collection aspect.

Or are all the pokemon basically okay to eat? How do they decide? Mr. Mime seems like he'd be illegal to eat. Borderline cannibalism.

It's about as cannibalistic as eating a chimpanzee in the real world.

IIRC it's been a thing since Gen I but it was hidden away in guides.

I'm at work but ill be out in about an hour. If I don't get the itch to play Arceus ill be down to play.

I might join in a little bit if it's still open.

I'll be home in 30 mixtures if you're still down

Docked for smash.

I always thought it was Ark-eus

Arc pronounced Ark, because it makes me think of the Ark of the Covenant, and -eus as in Deus. All very celestial and godly.

Or how the temples are styled after Greco-Roman ruins. The hellenized spelling of Arceus would be Arkeos because the C is a K and 'us' becomes 'os' like Herodotus of Halicarnassus would be Herodotos of Halikanassos.

Maybe they prefer it to sound more ancient greekish.

GGs. A little too laggy today

omw

I might join in 30 or so mins if it's still open
