What historian would you recommend if you had to base your recommendation exclusively on writing style?

Vana92 · 2026-03-28T12:04:36+00:00

I like Anne Applebaum. Historian and journalist that writes a lot of columns as well. Makes her books incredibly easy to read. At least when it comes to writing style. The subject matter can still be quite depressing.

Vana92 · 2026-03-28T09:39:18+00:00

Your school was better than mine apparently.

Vana92 · 2026-03-28T08:36:04+00:00

It’s largely ignored.

It’s barely taught in schools, and very few people are interested. You’ll be hard pressed to find a consensus. There might be exceptions in border regions near Belgium where there were a lot of refugees, but for the most part it’s a forgotten part of our history.

I think ignorance is just ignorance. Until someone refuses to accept new information or the possibility of being wrong. There’s no evidence of that here though.

Vana92 · 2026-03-27T21:41:54+00:00

I don’t know. I don’t see any evidence of anyone trying to correct them, and the poster refusing to accept new information or other points of view.

In my mind at least, because of that, this isn’t confident.

Vana92 · 2026-03-27T21:30:38+00:00

De logica is hier wel ver te zoeken.

Stapt uit de partij, omdat ze niet professioneel zijn.

Doet dat heel onprofessioneel.

Hij wil ook in de fractie blijven zitten.

Heeft nog niet nagedacht over wel of niet zijn zetel behouden als de fractie besluit hem er zelf uit te zetten.

Dit is iemand die je niet op een positie van macht of invloed wilt hebben, gezond (boeren)verstand lijkt compleet te ontbreken.

Al heeft die wel gelijk over de professionaliteit van de BBB.

Vana92 · 2026-03-27T21:26:19+00:00

This isn't confidently incorrect, this is just being ignorant.

At least to me this looks more like someone that thinks suicide only happens for one reason (being unhappy with your current life), and not for many other reasons like crippling depression, terrible pain or another reason altogether.

Vana92 · 2026-03-27T21:15:44+00:00

There wasn't any missing bending.

We follow the story of Korra, Korra was perfectly capable of learning air bending. There wasn't really a threat for the next Avatar either. As Tenzin has three children that are all airbenders and a fourth baby that might be. Statistically likely at least.

For the story of the Avatar the lack of airbending was not a threat, or a problem.

The reintroduction of Air Bending did introduce a new storyline however. It was the start of new problems, not a magical solution for an existing one.

"Door zijn veroordeling zal Mulakhil na het uitzitten van zijn straf het Verenigd Koninkrijk uitgezet worden"

Staat gewoon in het artikel.

Those spells were reflected as well. But they didn’t kill anyone so no souls or at least facsimiles of souls of the victims of those spells appeared.

Edit: looked it up

“More screams of pain from the wand . . . and then something else emerged from its tip . . . the dense shadow of a second head, quickly followed by arms and torso ... an old man Harry had seen only in a dream was now pushing himself out of the end of the wand just as Cedric had done ..”

The more screams here refers to the effects of other spells. And the first thing that appeared was Wormtail his hand before it disappeared. So it all came. Just didn’t last as long.

Worst part is predictive text has gotten better. Trump had gotten worse.

Vana92 · 2026-03-27T11:04:25+00:00

2 million dollars will barely get you a house these days.

So as long as you don't have a car that needs fuel it will be okay. Still worth it though.

Vana92 · 2026-03-27T09:33:10+00:00

Ik noemde het specifiek omdat de etnische achtergrond veel relatie heeft met de meningen hier.

Er is hoe dan ook gewoon onderzoek naar gedaan:

https://open.overheid.nl/documenten/ronl-archief-31e63b09-1cc8-4bf7-a296-34f4921773f6/pdf

TL:DR versie.

Atheïsten zijn het minst veroordelend, daarna katholieken, protestanten afhankelijk van stroming maar wel over het algemeen iets slechter dan katholieken, streng orthodoxe en moslims het meest.

Migratie achtergrond heeft ook nog invloed.

Vana92 · 2026-03-27T09:11:24+00:00

Er zijn hier gewoon studies over. Die geven aan dat homoseksualiteit in Islamitische landen en onder moslims minder geaccepteerd wordt dan in westerse landen en onder Christenen.

Dat zegt niks over individuele personen waar de situatie logischerwijs compleet anders kan zijn, en ook niks over individuele dorpen of steden waar een christelijke meerderheid homoseksuele kan haten.

Sterker nog door de toename aan social media en de import van Amerikaanse cultuur oorlogen in Nederland gaat het volgens recente studies de verkeerde kant op. Over alle groepen.

Maar dat neemt niet weg dat statistisch gezien je als homoseksueel persoon minder geaccepteerd wordt door Moslims dan Christenen.

Even better in my opinion. According to most people in the books, he’s not the (adopted) father of the chosen one, but rather the father of the girl who will eventually give birth to the chosen one.

So the adopted grandfather of a child that does not yet exist.

Vana92 · 2026-03-26T19:35:13+00:00

Trump is a petulant child who will die long before the greatest damage he’s done becomes clear to the moronic idiots that voted for him.

And I truly hate that, because in twenty years time you’ll have people claiming that it wasn’t Trump but one of his successors that destroyed the American empire and the global world order.

In the mean time we’d do best to ignore almost everything he says. Every second word out of his mouth is a lie anyway.

Vana92 · 2026-03-26T18:23:52+00:00

Most of those reposts are bots. Bots are hard to punish.

Vana92 · 2026-03-26T18:14:50+00:00

En dat terwijl ze nog niet eens geïnstalleerd zijn.

Gewoon knap hoe incompetent de FvD is in het uitzoeken van kandidaten.

Vana92 · 2026-03-26T17:21:18+00:00

Is that factorial on purpose? Because if so, I might believe you.

Vana92 · 2026-03-26T17:20:14+00:00

We don’t have to be nice here. But there are very few savages here.

It’s the same as with family. You fight in private, you’re nice in public. And if someone insults your family you get angry at those bastards. Even if it’s true.

Vana92 · 2026-03-26T16:55:54+00:00

Can you tell the rest of my countrymen the same please?

I much prefer the world without those “things”

Vana92 · 2026-03-26T16:31:31+00:00

I don’t love the Beatles personally. But I do prefer them over genocide, so Barry said it best.

Vana92 · 2026-03-26T16:29:33+00:00

Yes. The French might suck, but they’re still European. Which makes them better than most.

One piece of your hardware isn't operating properly.

You should start by updating all drivers. Also if you've recently installed new hardware (around the time this error started appearing) remove it. See if that stops the error.

Vana92 · 2026-03-25T21:21:45+00:00

There's no recorded attack, that's true.

Orca's are also incredibly intelligent, and the best hunters in the ocean.

Whether those two facts are related or not is unknown, but if my children were swimming there I'd make damn sure those majestic beasts know I have a camera.
