If Russia actually cared, they'd have negotiated something concrete. "But they PROMISED!!!" is just post hoc cheerleading for imperialism.

We need to develop a thoughtful pipeline for utility monsters. While there are plenty of antecedents, the modern media age gives us two great templates in the form of Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton. We just need to perfect the hatred people feel towards those two so it can be generated on demand and then we torture the poo poo out of them. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

I don't remember if I've shared this bit before. It's from a police protocol in a Danish city ca. 1900 (my translation).quote:Interrogation re there were indecent words written on a window at the department store, and on a hatch on the brewery barn. Report was provided by the arresting officer.

I like how every language through all of history has only two kinds of swears, body humor and religious sacrilege. You're either drinking the virgin's blood or "lol dick" PS: Pachacuti was a CIA plant to ultimately import the Devil's Tuber to Europe and bring down the immortal science of marxism-leninsm with the fascist practice of distillation.

Alhazred posted:Fun fact: If it hadn't been for Galen, Commodus would've never have been emperor. When Commodus was a kid Galen was hired to look after him. When he then got sick Galen insisted on giving him food, water and rest until he was well again. Pretty much everything about Roman medicine, especially for children, is absolutely terrifying. Medicine had very little to do with science for far too long, and for a long time there was a reason people joked about how doctors were just a particularly expensive way to die. And even now doctors have a tendency to come up with all kinds of weird poo poo apropos of nothing. Mostly race and sex based. Ghost Leviathan has a new favorite as of 09:23 on Mar 6, 2022 |

3D Megadoodoo posted:Seeing as how they replaced turnips/rutabagas, I find this bit extremely suspicious on account of making zero sense. Like I said earlier the more likely reason is due to Potatoes(and Tomatoes and Peppers) being a Nightshade, so people in Europe who hadn't encountered them being used as food in the Americas first hand thought they'd be just as poisonous as the ones they knew about(probably not helped by the fact that the rest of the Potato plant besides the tubers is incredibly poisonous, including the very tomato looking fruits they grow), with the Eggplant/Aubergine still being relatively unknown in much of Europe at the time as well and indeed even where it was known it often still had the suspicion given towards it's other Nightshade cousins in terms of being thought to be poisonous or causing other ill effects like making people go insane

Galen demonstrated that it was wrong by first showing how sick a starved patient was and then how they recovered by being fed. But archaeological finds have shown that doctors wasn't just quacks either. One doctor in Rimini who lived 70 years before Galen for example had instruments that could be used for everything from removing arrows to operating cataracts. They also found this bronze tube that was inserted into the patient's penis in order to help them pass water:

Ghost Leviathan posted:Pretty much everything about Roman medicine, especially for children, is absolutely terrifying. I think it was David F. Lancy's The Anthropology of Childhood: Cherubs, Chattel, Changelings that discussed how common it is to this day that healthy guardians in developing countries bring obviously malnourished children to medical aid organizations to obtain medicine for the child's illness. Suggestions to simply feed the child adequately are met with suspicion and resistance, because giving children easy access to food is thought to make them greedy and lazy. This might seem absurd to us, but that's because westerners were subject to massive public awareness campaigns about the importance of proper childhood nutrition during the 19th and 20th centuries to stamp out similar folk wisdom. Humans are just really bad at connecting the dots between lifestyle and health.

Galen demonstrated that it was wrong by first showing how sick a starved patient was and then how they recovered by being fed. From what I've read over the years, generally speaking ancient surgery was very advanced very early. We have a lot of evidence for very successful interventions of all kinds and many preserved tool sets from ancient Egypt onwards that wouldn't change much in form until the 19th century. Basically about as good as you could get before real knowledge of antiseptics and, later, anaesthesia. Medicine was more or less majority quack bullshit til, arguably, the 1920s with some notable exceptions. It helps that with surgery you get a pretty immediate result one way or another I guess. Tracing cause and effect is much easier with it.
