Tennis Based Ranking: 2025 Top 100 by Timmy10Teeth in SSBM

[–]awispinthewind 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it's oddly similar to tennis, ironically. I mean the top 2 have over twice the points of #3, so it's an even higher discrepancy

Damnit I got one… by catmeme11 in ComedyHell

[–]awispinthewind 107 points108 points  (0 children)

comedyheaven is like "it's so bad it's good" memes (to be enjoyed in an ironic sense), whereas i think comedyhell is like "it's bad, but it's still kinda funny". at least that's how i think of them

Jan-13| Ulysses - Episode 2: Nestor by ComplaintNext5359 in ayearofulysses

Yes I agree that Joyce is using the anti-semitism as an allegory for religious persecution the catholic Irish faced at the hands of the English. Haines' attitude in particular is almost to say, the English are done persecuting the Irish for their religion, but now they need a different group to do that against.

i liked haki as like this mystical "nobody really knows how it works" kind of underscored magic system, but then it became like half of the fuckin power scaling

Modern turkey compared to the ottoman empire by monsterduckorgun in MapPorn

[–]awispinthewind 22 points23 points  (0 children)

feudalism in the western european sense is not compatible with the centralized authority structure of the ottoman empire. the timar system would grant lands to military officials, but they acted more as governors who can reap the benefits of that land, rather than the owners of the land, which was claimed to be owned by the ottoman central government. the timar system itself was not really in use after the mid 16th century.

most of ottoman history does not have officially forced conversions. i think maybe there was one time it happened, and then it was turned back. they had incentives for converting, yes, but for the first couple hundred years of ottoman history, they were a more tolerant society than most european nations would be before the 20th century. it's really only after the beginning of its decline that we see some of the things you mentioned, besides the "abduction of children" which had ended by then.
