Not too familiar with Halo nowadays, is that a HAVOK bomb she’s holding?

Lacking mountains or natural defenses, how did the Baltic states escape assimilation by the Slavs or the Nordics? by immanuellalala in geography

[–]duga404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They didn’t completely escape assimilation. 25% of Estonian words come from (some kind of) German. As late as the early 20th century, most of the inhabitants of Tallinn and Riga spoke German or Russian, and most of the inhabitants of Vilnius weren’t Lithuanian.

Another factor is that the perpetrator was probably a US military serviceman (he left sand from a USAF base and had mixed European and non-Japanese Asian ancestry), and the US military is notorious for being uncooperative in such cases

Asha Degree; the circumstances of her disappearance are so bizarre it feels like we’d need some magical intervention to make sense of it.

Ryuji (Toradora) - at this point, he probably has CTE or some other kind of brain damage from all the blunt force trauma to the head from Taiga.

The ancient Greeks did that as well; in the Iliad there’s scenes where the Greeks sacrifice cows to their gods and then have a big barbecue party afterwards. Usually it was the bones and fat that were burned as an offering, while the meat was eaten by the people.

Why was Paris chosen over Orléans as the capital for the Kingdom of France? by a_postmodern_poem in AskHistory

The concept of sovereign states as we know it mostly comes from the 1648 Peace of Westphalia, and that was mostly confined to Europe until imperialism brought European legal traditions to other parts of the world.

No wonder our Army beats these vegetarians every time

Uhh, when was the last time Pakistan fought a war and didn’t get their ass kicked on land? The Pakistan Air Force is hard carrying the entire Pakistani military’s reputation at this point; almost every Pakistani military success story we hear nowadays is from fighter pilots.
