ea-nasir had a room where he collected all his complaint letters, he definitely was on board with being a poo poo bag and he loved it. Exact opposite of a nice guy

ea-nasir was full of self confidence, and never stewed in misery over rejection “if you want to take me, take me; if you do not want to take me, go away!”

Ghostlight posted:here's a pretty good imo video on the cerutti mastodon site i thought this was a really good video btw way better than the thumbnail made it look so i take it the assumption is that the hominids who killed the mammoth might not be homo sapiens just because of how far removed they are temporally from any other trace of human activity? this seems like the only explanation i can see for the lack of evidence in the intervening periods is just that the original settler group died or left and it was tens of thousands of years before another group tried again

remember when liu bei was on the run and a poor man murdered his own wife and fed her to him and liu bei was like "i'm in shock, i can't believe you'd do something like this... and TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF!"

There's also a "ghost population" of modern humans in the Americas that's only discernible genetically, at least according to current thought as far as I'm aware.They're supposed to have been more closely related to New Guineans and Australians than modern day Native Americans.

He's served a delicious meal, and then goes into the peasant's kitchen and discovers that the man butchered his own wife and served her to Liu Bei. He is overjoyed at the peasant's selfless sacrifice.

edward the confessor whined about his mother, was too nice to the people that killed his bro and a dick to his wife. the only good thing he did (set up the normans) was an indirect result of him promising the crown to anyone he could

babypolis posted:what It's to contrast Liu Bei with Lu Bu. The book makes a big deal about Lu Bu's unbeatable martial prowess being distracted and spoiled by a lot of unimportant poo poo, including his wife and his daughter. The Liu clan, on the other hand, doesn't hesitate to drop their baggage at a moment's notice in service of the cause. The Lius can always get more women, but Lu Bu likes the one he has too much and it contributes to his ruin in that same chapter. Sentiment didn't age well.

A general kicks off the canibalism stage of a siege by eating his beloved wife quote:Zhang Xun took his concubine out and killed her in front of his soldiers in order to feed them. He said, "You have been working hard at protecting this city for the country wholeheartedly. Your loyalty is uncompromised despite the long-lasting hunger. Since I can't cut out my own flesh to feed you, how can I keep this woman and just ignore the dangerous situation?" All the soldiers cried, and they did not want to eat. Zhang Xun ordered them to eat the flesh. Afterwards, they caught the women in the city. After the women were run out, they turned to old and young males. 20,000 to 30,000 people were eaten. People always remained loyal. War and Pieces has issued a correction as of 01:13 on Sep 22, 2022 |

quote:Instead, he offered Nan Jiyun a large feast, to try to convince him to join his ranks. Nan replied, "The reason why I risked my life to come here is because the local civilians and my comrades have no food to eat for over a month. How can I eat such a huge feast when I know that my comrades are facing? Although I failed my mission, I will bite off a finger and leave it with you, as evidence that I did come here." I think the chronicler of the Book of Tang just had a vore fetish

I really think of the peak Liu Bei moment is this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHQPFWWHyMU Anyway its hard to choose a peak creep from history cuz goddamn there's a deep bench. War and Pieces posted:since when did leftists have a party line on love and romance the spectrum extends all the way from 200 person polycules with shared custody to transhuman asexual reproduction and everything in between I wouldn't say its a party line but like there's clearly a discourse and shared vocabulary and its frankly not hard to get War and Pieces posted:I think the chronicler of the Book of Tang just had a vore fetish this is a new and exciting lens for understanding history (that i hate)

Nosfereefer posted:okay so what's up with all the cannibalism in chinese classics? Yeah it seems to be a thing, plus the cannibalism mentioned during the cultural revolution. Also in period shows people are always threatening to cook and eat eachother Plus I remember while reading Victorian Holocausts they mention that while the Indians kept the huge taboo on cannibalism during the famines the Chinese were comparatively chowing down on eachother I don't know if that's just sinophobic nonsense based on Chinese myth making though
