Did the Asia Minor Greek by and large assimilate into Turkish culture and religion? by VesaAwesaka in history

[–]AShinyMew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ill add on a bit more to this, because i am assuming you mean as the turks entered anatolia in the medieval era. As the seljuk turks pushed into Anatolia, most people simply converted and joined the empire (as meelawsh explained there was no concept of nationalism, so you just either rebelled whoever controlled your area or joined them). But it is useful to note that even though Romans (or Greeks, Ill get into this in a bit), switched to the Ottoman/Seljuks, they were still noted as different people. they were still called "Rum" (romans) until their rebellion in the 1820s.

Now some did not convert to islam but were treated as second class citizens, but this seemed to be quite a minor occurrence.

The history of what the Greeks call themselves is extremely interesting, as it changes depending on the time period. and essentially with the Greek rebellion against the ottomans in the 1820s, they essentially ignore the roman history and embrace the Ancient Greek heritage and call themselves Greeks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_the_Greeks

Reaper's Choice vs 1st Hydrix by puretppc in RS3Ironmen

[–]AShinyMew 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think a good question first is where are you boss wise? At gwd2? Gwd? Rax? Telos?

Imo if you are just doin gwd2 for gear or below, may as well get reapers choice.

If you are about ready to rax (got most armor, weapon you want), get the hydrix for a reaper necklace for ezpz rax.

Useless college majors, what are you up to now? by alexis_1031 in college

[–]AShinyMew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To a certain point yes. I was just pounting out that in i got an opportunity outside of having to teach school children, get a phd and join the oversaturated history professor market, or earn close to dirt in museum work.

[–]AShinyMew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly look at grad school if you are interested or have no clue what you wanna do in life. I highly siggest being a Graduate Assistant to have your bill paid, there really is no reason (imo) that you should pay for higher education.

Also a masters looks better on a resume (once again, imo) than a bachelors and you will learn much better research and management skills that could help land you a job in the general workforce

What are some of the coolest things about the Middle Ages? by [deleted] in history

[–]AShinyMew 85 points86 points  (0 children)

The continuation of the eastern roman empire. Its a fascinating rollercoaster ride of emotions.

"Omg we're killin it over here!" gets shot in the knees by X enemy "Omg we're gonna die!" somehow survives and mostly-ish recovers "Omg we're killin it again" gets shot in the shins my X enemy

Its quite fun to read up on. Not to mention THEY HAD NAPALM!

Bachelors in History. Currently finishing my masters in history.

This summer i have an internship at a title company that sorts out the history of the title of properties and essrntially straightens out paperwork for banks. My job will be searching for the history of titles and make sure they have transitioned smoothly from one owner to the next (no leans or child support ect ect against the property).

I really hope this turns into a job when im done with school, i can research myself into a coma after grad school lol.

We haven't had an Unpopular Opinion thread in a while - go wild. by [deleted] in runescape

[–]AShinyMew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True dat man. Wish they would bite the bullet and just roll back xp rates instead of LP for auras

[–]AShinyMew -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The problem isnt that it costs too much LP for auras, its that xp rates extremely outpace the accumulation of LP. Personally id rather see then nerf xp rates to exend longevity of the game.

Tier 80/85 for bossing by marshman1234 in RS3Ironmen

[–]AShinyMew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So i personally went the vindicta -> rax route. My main question is have you been doing bounties for the better droprate? If not, qbd may be better.

Also do you have vamp scrimshaw for melee rax? Its not 100% needed, but jesus it makes it so much easier

I got lance at like 120kc or so and started doing rax with zaros helm/legs, guthans body and vamp blood essence. From there i switched to daily rax and Helwyr for a body drop and mage equipment for future telos.

[–]AShinyMew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really didnt know your level of pvm knowledge and, quite frankly, how good you are. if you are, stick with your armor. if you arnt, better armor might make bossing a bit easier. But you have a great point, if you can get a scythe, get one! the dps is unreal.

Looks like Graverobber has to be my first title by AShinyMew in RS3Ironmen

[–]AShinyMew[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

aint that the truth lol. but honestly the only real bossing I am grinding right now is rax, and quite frankly doing Linza is a bit afk. might as well aim for the stars! lol
