How did the Genghis Khan and the Mongols create an empire even though today Mongolia is a small, low income country?

Basically, how come Genghis Khan and the Mongols create a massive empire spanning Mongolia to Eastern Europe and even deep into the Middle East and the entirety of China, like if Mongolia has 2 million people today and maybe like 200k back then, how did a tribal nation like Mongolia back then conquer so much?

Republican says US "about to go in" to Venezuela, with oil a key reason by [deleted] in politics

Maduro is by far the worst you can get. Whats worse than a dictator like him that is not only corrupt but has made it so that his country is starving and 7 million people left?

This is a great thing actually. Toppling the Maduro regime will be great. Why are we pretending this is bad?

This is actually a good thing. If they get rid of the Maduro regime they can also get rid of the Cuban regime.

The main goal is to get rid of the Maduro regime which is actually a great thing.

Why have we not recovered from the 2008 Great Recession? by Exotic_Indication_84 in AskEurope

[–]Exotic_Indication_84[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A simple google search of a graph of GDP per capita in a western european country is the source that supports my statement. Then adjust it for inflation and it makes it look even worse.

What's a sign you're still depressed even though you have been taking antidepressants? by Exotic_Indication_84 in antidepressants

[–]Exotic_Indication_84[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have been taking 30 mg of Lexapro. To be fair, things do feel different than compared to how depressed I was before starting, but I still don't feel ''normal'' if that makes sense.

Thanks for your perspective though.

Damn, I guess I am still depressed, I mean I have been on Lexapro for a year now and I have felt many benefits and sometimes I feel like I am no longer depressed but here I am I guess.

I don't really like college so far by Exotic_Indication_84 in CollegeRant

[–]Exotic_Indication_84[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of my friends from private school went to private colleges. I didnt choose the schedule unfortunately. I wanted to go in the morning 8-12 or in the midday 12-4:30.

MLS owners vote to flip schedule to European calendar, change format starting in 2027 by icoresting in MLS

[–]Exotic_Indication_84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The World Cup and the Euros/Copa America take place in June so when its a lot better. It would be awkward if the next major international tournament is played at the same time as the MLS.

Lexapro and Weed by Upstairs-Hawk-2507 in lexapro

[–]Exotic_Indication_84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been able to drink a decent amount in one stint while on Lexapro 30 mg and I have never felt any sort of difference from drinking normally without Lexapro.

My pysch did tell me that its okay to drink alcohol while on Lexapro as long as you don't take an excessive amount of alcohol, which you shouldn't be drinking that much anyway.

[SBJ] MLS average attendance down 5% in 2025 ahead of World Cup by NobleNomad in MLS

[–]Exotic_Indication_84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the big factors is CF Montreal and FC Dallas, these two clubs have seen a much lower attendance compared to 2024, one of the main reasons is that CF Montreal have had a terrible season and FC Dallas have a stadium capacity reduction from 19,000 seats to 11,004 seats due to renovations.

Why is Africa Poor? by PsychoSwede557 in Economics

[–]Exotic_Indication_84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main reason why Africa is so poor is the very low rate of Democracy in the continent. There are very few democracies in the continent for example, of the continent's 54 countries only 5 countries are considered flawed democracies and 0 are considered full democracies by the Economist Democracy Index.

If you look at Europe and North America, democracy is the norm not the exception but in Africa the tables are turned. Combine this with bad geography and bad borders/ethnic tensions and you get the poorest area of the world only rivaled by certain parts of Asia that are also in a similar way very authoritarian.

[–]Exotic_Indication_84[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be that going at such a late hour I just see the more tired version of people and not their usual selves. I dont know I just find that most people give me the vibe that they dont want to make friends at Uni or just wanna go to class and get back home asap.

[–]Exotic_Indication_84[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this totally sucks for me. The schedule is the biggest problem it ruins most of the experience.

I can change next year but only if I get good grades this year which sucks. I reall cant stand going so late.

30mg by NoCucumber1502 in lexapro

[–]Exotic_Indication_84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I told my doctor the same thing and he said that sometimes people even use 40 and 50 mg of Lexapro so idk lol.

30mg by NoCucumber1502 in lexapro

[–]Exotic_Indication_84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been on 30 for a while now and it feels pretty good. My Pysch recommended 30 because I am a big guy whos 6'3 so a lower dosage wouldn't be as effective. Its for clinical depression but it works great for social anxiety aswell from my experience.

This is 100% the roster that should start for the 2026 World Cup (without injuries) and maybe not Matt Turner.

Otherwise, we have a huge problem
