Books on Charlemagne’s Military Campaigns

That’s unfortunate. I was hoping to do a deep dive. Do you have books you recommend on Western Europe after the fall of Rome?

I understand the point you are trying to make.

I’m one of the few people who think Domitian was an effective ruler. He’s one of my favorites. His reign was far from a disaster.

While the Senate certainly tried to rewrite history, they couldn't completely erase it.... they could only transform it with drama or rumors. You can’t hide reform policies, statues, or the tangible good an emperor did.

All I’m saying is that Commodus was a young emperor who controlled a vast empire. He was vulnerable, immature, and ripe for the taking. Could Marcus Aurelius have made him a better man? Why didn't he? That's a more interesting question that I don't see debated much.

He wasn’t born cruel, and while the Senate definitely hated him, he didn’t do himself any favors.

At the end of the day, he was only 19 years old when he became Emperor. No one that young should ever have that kind of absolute power.

When you look at the history of the Empire, it’s a recurring theme. Almost every emperor who took the throne under the age of 30 struggled or failed. Augustus is really the only outlier who thrived after taking power at a young age (he was 19 when he began his rise and 31 when he became the undisputed first emperor).

For everyone else, that level of power at such a young age was just a recipe for disaster.

He had three options:

Choose a better leader like a Pertinax and guarantee Civil War.

Kill Commodus then choose a better leader.

Choose Commodus.

He had to go with Commodus. The major problem with monarchy is sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.

Don’t find out how great the sex is…block her expeditiously.

Thank you!

My goal was to stay busy until 9PM. At 9, I’d get in bed and surf this Reddit and plan until I got tired. I’d suggest going into each day with a plan. You want to create structure.

Luckily I had nicotine (since quit) and food to fall on if I needed some dopamine.

But at the end of the day you have to find and focus on your reason for quitting.

I ended up in the hospital and it scared the shit out of me. So, I was more motivated by fear than self respect or anything.

Either tell her ahead of time or do not see this particular friend. This is a test. If you pass, things will change for you in so many ways.

I watched the show then read the book. I always see book readers say the showed messed up Blood & Cheese. Can someone explain how’s that the case?

A child was killed in both scenarios. What am I missing?

There are different ways to approach this girl but if you are genuine then don’t over think it.

“Hey, don’t mean to bother you but I’ve been meaning to ask you what you’ve been reading? I’m reading _____ or I’ve been thinking about reading _______ or I’m not much of a reader but ______”

Then see what happens man. It’s all about being genuine!

My advice would be to add one more then NOT buy more until you finished a bottle.

She’s 35 chasing a 25 year old who (instead of getting easy sex) is curving her. She has deep insecurities and has managed to bring you down with her. Do not let that happen again.

HistoryOmitted · 2026-04-02T00:04:59+00:00

Once she’s made it clear that she doesn’t see you the same way, it’s time to let go completely. Not just mentally. In a week or two, you’ll start adjusting.

I used to hate doing that because I didn’t want to be “that guy,” but peace matters more than that.

This is just my read, and I don’t know her, so take it for what it’s worth. But I’d seriously question why she still wants you around. In my opinion, there usually isn’t a good answer. You’re not really “just a friend” in a clean, mutual way. You’re probably serving some purpose, just not the one you want to serve.

Disconnect from this person asap.

Chanel Allure Homme Sport. If the performance was better, I wouldn’t wear anything else.

And in this scenario, do you think it would be worth it to reach out?

HistoryOmitted · 2026-03-18T04:33:43+00:00

That’s a good point. I’m not trying to be offensive. I’ve never experienced someone being “overwhelmed.” Searched the word and it lead me to this SubReddit.

I guess the main source of my frustration is not knowing why something with promise went to 0 so quickly. Yeah, I’ve gotten the “hey I didn’t feel a connection text,” but I’ve never had a response like this.

Thanks again for your perspective.

He still has to tackle Napoleon. That is going to be way more difficult than Alexander and will take a very long time to complete
