Like any river surrounded by a farming culture, the water in the Yellow River was too contaminated to drink. But it was easy to irrigate.
Mesopotamians inability to irrigate had nothing to do with intelligence. It was just the nature of the river. Mesopotamians has a sophisticated trading system involving leather rafts they could fold up to reduce the need for manpower. They also invented screw pumps, batteries for electroplating coins, writing, and beer.

Also consider the political differences between Athens and Sparta. Athens had a sloppy democracy that amounted to little more than mod rule between the many aristocratic families. This is why disagreements often devolved into civil wars that ended in re-establishment of a tyranny. Then it was never long before the families that lost the civil war would join together to chase out the tyrant and re-establish a sloppy democracy that would devolve into fighting again.

The Spartans had more of a system of checks and balanced that resembled a primitive form of republicanism. They had an elected council of ephors that checked the power of the king. They had a "Gourgias" which was an elected council of elders that handled civil law and acted as a supreme court. And then they had the "Assembly" (which comprised all the Spartan men over 20) which had final say in all matters of war and peace. Though voting within these groups amounted to shouting over each other at the feast table (Aristotle called it childish) it gave them a sense of stability that the other city-states never had.

There is also a sense of national pride in Sparta that you don't see elsewhere. The city folk of Sparta and the surrounding countryside of Lacadaemon considered themselves as one people whereas Athens and rural Attica had a broader cultural line drawn between them.

>>285
Sorry, council of elders was called the "Gerousia"

>>284
The nile river was also extremely easy to irrigate I think I mixed up the nile with the tigris and Euphrates. Plus wasn't mesopotamia the dawn of civilization that's gotta count for something.

>>285
Spartans were actually a different type of greek called dorians in comparison to athens who were ionians. That's probably why sparta had a differing sense of pride. That's also why greece was effective split up into warring city states due to the tensions between the people groups. As sparta were the invaders.

>>289
The bottom section of Asia Minor was also Dorian and they didn't have much of a sense of unity. In fact, The Ionians on Asia Minor formed the "Ionian League" and it was probably the most solid alliance in Hellenic history.

The Nile wasn't really irrigated at all due to the way it flooded and dried up seasonally. The Egyptians would wait for silt deposits prior to flood season and farm only in those months. However, the Nile had a series of tributaries that the Tigris and Euphrates lacked, making northern Egypt into a marshy and fertile region, similar to western China.

And yes, the earliest cities were built in Mesopotamia. That was the Sumerians in southern Mesopotamia who, as I said, invented writing and beer. They also had the earliest barter system.

I doubt it. Wasps don't seem like the type of animal to care about the aesthetics of where they live.

They are great to have in a garden. I have a few. They really save you money on garden bug control. So long as you serenade them with jazz music, they should be left to do their part in nature without solutions to deter their calling in the universe. Eating bugs and white flies so that your garden is edible come harvest.
I grow vegetables and fruits all my life. I see mother nature at play on a daily close up, as if using a magnifying glass to observe and help mother natures course. It is quite pleasant break from dealing with online wasp if you catch my drift.
Those are the ones we should be questioning.
Lucky, I have passive wasp. I play them hours longs collections of jazz. They same 4hr so loop of best classics, in order to also tame them, get them used to the jazzy noise so they don’t feel altered should I be in the area tending the garden myself. Kind of like making peace with nature via sharing music.

Wasps are the niggers of insects.

>>100
Bees are superior to wasps in every way.

>>126
The outside of their nests look like puke because that's literally what it is. The insides are pretty organized and cool-looking, though. I've been stung by wasps a couple of times but they don't really chase you around like in TV shows and they give you plenty of warning first if you pay attention.
>>128
One thing that sucks about wasps in the garden is that they eat away at the wooden boxes I have and anything made from wood really doesn't last with them around. I prefer to have wolf spiders on patrol.

Not possible. It's private no?

Why would anyone use instagram over an imageboard? I know they might have different purposes but iirc instagram is owned by jewgle. You can still find pictures of pretty women on imageboards as well. It just seems completely irrelevant.

I think if you want to talk about true power, you'd study Mao. But if you wanted to talk about benefit for one's country while wielding said power? You'd look at Stalin. Hitler is not the absolute caricature "they" (not just talking about Jews) have made him into, but nor is he all that successful, as tyrants go.

Of course, a true patriot would discard all three and go with Roosevelt (Teddy or Franklin, both were badass).

Intriguing that those names are mentioned, truly. Considering their blood ties.

It isn't about who won, lost, or chose to be a martyr for their people, but their actions. Their decisions, processes in which the leader objectively described chose to do what they did. Take >>64 for example--he worked to banish freemasonry from his country, which was subverted back in an Egyptian dynasty by corrupt scum. It no longer held onto traditional values influencing the direction of civilization towards the top of the pyramid, which held no capstone originally (Jesus spoke of this, clearly, yet that too was subverted and disguised by usurpers). Instead, we have the offspring of luciferianism, a bunch of disheveled meat sacks believing that their choices are for a greater good.

Let's play it your way and discuss those opposite of the OP. You know, communists. Bright idea, brighter than Yaldabaoth, JahBuLon, Godriel, Hiram, Lucifer, Chronos, Vulcan, Nimrod and Tammuz, and Osiris could ever be.

I'm holding the nail or "law of five" peace sign in solidarity to the notion.

Did he? Or did the US pick up the slack after he had definitively lost. I don't give me any of that "cracking the enigma" crap. It was America's big dick thrusting in and out of Europe that killed Hitler.

>>263
The Soviets lost over 10 Million Soldiers in the war but even that estimate may be far lower than the real numbers due to the nature of Soviet record keeping and the nature of the war itself. The US lost .4 of a Million. But of course it was Uncle Sam's 'Big d*ck' thrusting into Europe that was what lost Germany the war though.

>>263
Anyway, Churchill didn't win the war by defeating Germany outright as the Soviets did but through staying steady and listening to his Generals. Britain contributed by the war through it's naval efforts but also by preventing the Axis from taking North Africa and then threatening or taking the British Oil fields in the Middle east, by proving a staging area for the invasion of France when it could occur and by tying up large numbers of Soldiers and resources that could have been sent to the eastern front. The Germans threw large numbers of aircraft into Britain itself and threw resources and men into holding France in anticipation of an Invasion but they also had to place men in the Balkans, North Africa and Norway. There were actually a reasonable number of men in all these areas that could have much better been used elsewhere, there was a whole army in Norway that sat on their thumbs for the entire war, solely because Hitler was concerned Britain would invade.

Britain was the thorn in Germany's side thorough the entire war, had they not been there Germany and even Italy would have been able to sent much more to the east and would have taken the Persian oilfields as well. And Churchill kept trying to launch pre-emptive invasions of France and Norway, long before they could have realistically had a chance of holding it. Had they done that it's likely they would have de fanged themselves as they really didn't have the men to lose on such adventures thus Germany would have been given more of a free hand and would likely have won the war. But he didn't, however much he tried it never happened.

>>255
Done.

Okay it werks now.
If a media appears to be broken it have to be scrubbed with the deletion menu first, then repost, this should solve the problem.
The reason is that many media were corrupted in a botched migration of the db some time ago. And lynxchan doesn't uploads media if it's already in the db, just links it there, and if that particular one is corrupted, that results in the error.

>>256
Interesting but how was this data collected and how do they know the women were being honest.

>>252
>I feel like this a submissive stance to take.
It's not, If I put a standard on myself to find a virgin girl then that's on me. While you don't have that same standard that doesn't mean other people have such a standard. Placing limitations on yourself is the epitome of manliness as it makes you challenge yourself. If you lack the discipline to find a respectable women does that really make me the submissive one?

>If you aren't confident in your ability to satisfy a woman and make her yours then that's a problem. A true man should be able to make even a slut feel like a virgin when they're with them.
Again a man would have standards on what constitutes as a decent and respectable wife. A true man would never go near a slut because he would want to set an example on what a healthy and loving relationship would look like. He would act like a role model and strengthen his bond with his wife.

>I find that men who of value virginity the most often have insecurities surrounding their manhood
If the only thing that matters to your "manhood" is how many women you've slept with then I believe your priorities are skewed. There's more to being a man than how many women you've slept with. Can you take care of yourself?, Can you take responsibility for your own actions?, Can you act confident? These are more important than promiscuity.

>This can be most clearly seen in incel communities which instead of increasing their social value and skills seek to blame others for their inability to lose their virginity.
That community has more problems than their virginity though, That's the point you seem to not be getting. I want a virgin because I won't accept anything less. I've got a job a part time one but one none the less. Most Incels are simply NEETs who endulge in escapism and never try to improve themselves. Standards does not equal escapism.

>Is there any proof to back this up? I feel that if a woman has been with multiply partners and deemed that you're the best then she's less likely to cheat. There's no curiosity of what's out there or what could have been.

These data are usually published as thesis. Sources are cited. I just picked it off from google.

Fetishism and brainwashing. For the longest time, young girls (12-16) were usually married off. This happened all around the world across all cultures. And it was okay because people weren't sex obsessed degenerates like they are in modern america. The age of consent was raised to destroy the family unit. Then it was pounded into the masses heads that a grown man being attracted to teenage girls is somehow, pedophilia. Even though it literally doesn't even fit the textbook description of pedophilia. And its only gotten worse. Hell, normalfags are calling twenty something year olds children now. It's absurd. No, it's not some 'toasty roasty feminism' that caused this, the real reason is much more nefarious.

>>225
>For the longest time, young girls (12-16) were usually married off. This happened all around the world across all cultures.

Actually that's false. Well almost. Average age at marriage through Europe even in the middle ages and even amongst peasants was about 20 but often they married older. I say almost because that's only in Europe, in Asia, Africa, the middle east etc you are fight and they were married off much younger. But then these cultures really don't/didn't care about women so in their view the sooner they get rid of their daughters the better.

>>228
>you are fight
*right

While I am correction this I will mention that the average age for marriage actually rose in Europe past the middle ages as well, getting to 25 or even 27 in some places and eras.

>>225
Age of Consent isn't just about destroying family unit but helped the state in many ways.
Teenage pregnancy is going to affect the child's education and can push her back a year or two from other people her age which will affect her future, thus making her an invaluable investment for the state.
Teenage pregnancy also leads to overpopulation, in a way.

But yeah, it's selfish from the point of elites because ultimately it's about control.

There's definitely some good to it.
Like he said here >>228
Women children like in Islamic Nations suffered much when they got married off young as soon as she bleeds, in a confused state, sometimes to old men. Many still think having a girl child is a curse, some kill them off as a child.

It's fine. Someone in Europe surely has something valuable they can give me for this sauce.

Chaotic Good. Imageboards itself are inherently chaos.

Seems people can't really come to a consensus, I personally think that's a positive. If it were me I'd say we're probably a combination of lawful and chaotic because this place is trying to keep a standard of quality while at the same time >>232 has a point.
