  1. Unless their politics align with yours. Then you think they are admirable people standing up for what's right. A very widespread bias.

  2. So do we today. In our off work time we have to shop, cook, clean, do laundry, care for the kids/pets. On top of that a lot of people do their own car maintenance/home repairs. So our 'free' time is not so free either.
    36
  3. I don't see anything wrong with either teaching kids to shoot guns or fight with swords, as long as it's done w proper adult supervision. Being able to defend yourself/others or hunt is an important life skill. Sword fighting would not be very useful today granted but it was back in Samurai day.

  4.  @chaost4544  Yeah, tell it to those who have to do all those things after they worked hard at their job all day! Still a lot of work. Plus there is not machine invented yet that could was my bathtub or sink, wash my windows or a robot to brush and walk my dog. No personal robot who can do your shopping for you as of yet either. Also, medieval peasants DID outsource quite a bit of their work to specialicts, such as blacksmiths, thatchers, repairmen ets.

  5. The worst insult in my opinion is "cultural relativist." I made it my life's mission to troll cultural relativism at risk of being called a racist. It's a good risk.

  6. I think all those dangers and legal prohibitions is PRESISELY what makes Paris catacombs so alluring to so many people.
    12
  7. I don't think any society ever has complete freedom of speech. It's a great abstract concept with the emphasis on abstract. In reality there is always a number of topics/subjects a given group avoids talking about, sometimes without even consiously realising it.

  8.  @pietromicca44  They had wells. And they did not go for the animal feed somewhere in the bush every day. They had it stored ahead. There was a village butcher to butcher a large animal, there was the blacksmith to shoe a horse, there was the thatcher to mend the roof. There were always kids or hangaround adult to do an odd job such as water fetching or wood chopping for just a crust of bread.

  9.  @pietromicca44  Not true, there were lots of them in the countryside. Plus the families were large back in the day so when everyone pitched in it was not nearly as much work.

  10. When you are lost in the woods, the rule is to stay in the same place and let the search and rescue party find you. I suppose it applies to catacombs too.

  11.  @DJRockford83  Not really. You had to work 3 days in the master's fields. Or, if you rented, you had a quota of the harvest to give to the master.

  14. I studied intro Spanish and our teacher told us, one of her students asked another "How old are you?" He mispronounced slightly and got "How many a**holes have you got?"

  18. Hollywood Russians are even worse than Hollywood Itallians.

  19. Western Europeans until recently did not consider Slavs real Europeans. And this is considering that most of us are as Nordic looking as any Scandi, Anglo or German. We get cast to play Norsemen on screen for Chissakes!

  20.  @pietromicca44  They gathered hay in the haymaking season, stored it ahead. Plus I already mentioned there were a lot of helpers ready to do odd jobs like water fetching or wood chopping for pittance, sometimes a crust of bread. There were a lot of orphans, vagabonds and destitute widows hanging around waiting for the opportunities of those little jobs just to have bite to eat.

  21. I agree with the part that he always behaves decently in his vids. But fortunately he is far from being the only one.

  22.  @Pepe-pq3om  They are. Parisians are quite aware of the rogue catacomb explorers. So they have special search and rescue units.

  23. I find that to me, as a Slavic languages speaker, Italian and Spanish pronunciation comes easy. Are Slavic and Latin language phonics really similar?
    2
  24. I wonder what Metatron (and everyone in the comments) think of Prof. David Olusogga. He was talking in his docs about Upper Egyptians being black, and even several of the pharaohs orinating there.

  25. If all of that is true, then Stargate is a reality show.

  29. It's a lot like what we have in Ukrainian/Russian culture. There r 2 camps. One thinks that everything OURS (traditionally Slavic) is wonderful and perfect and everything Western is corrupt. The other thinks that we r irredeemably backward and barbaric and mindlessly idealize and emulate everything Western. To me BOTH extremes s*ck. I sincerely hope that the silent majority in both cultures have common sense and agree w me.

  34. Well, I am an agnostic leaning atheist in our reality, but weird unexplainable shit insists on harrassing me against my wishes. Kinda like a cat that purrs and rubs against a cat phobe, or a baby grabbing and demanding attention from a child hater.

  36. It's a bit more poetic in Italy where the climate is nice. In the Northern parts it's a lot harsher and less poetic.

  38. Medieval people were living in dread of Y1K!

  39. It's not that they just had wars. They glorified and romanticized war. We still have war, our attitude to it changed. We don't glorify it.

  40. What horrible news! Hope the treatments work. In Canada (Ontario) we have free healthcare but the waiting lists for non emerg. surgery are brutal! I had to wait nearly a year, twice. Fortunately both times the tumors were benign.

  41. Ha-ha, Metatron/Maximus Miller bro-mance!

  42. Languages evolve, man. Take you native one, Italian. The reason it exists is that long long ago Latin got mangled and bastardized. So yes man u r pedantic!

  44. One can argue using Metatron's logic to defend p-philia in Ancient Greece. One can say that we are applying our modern notions of what a child is and what children's rights should be to a different time and different place. By that logic they were not doing anything wrong, merely practicing customs of time and place and we are in the wrong to condemn them.

  46.  @pietromicca44  I was raised by a great grandmother who was a russian peasant all her life. Was listening her peasant life stories my whole childhood.

  47.  @pietromicca44  They did have free time.
    1
  48. @unpopularopinion9831 Yeah, because the farm is isolated. Most peasants back then lived in villages with plenty of neighbours close by.

  49. @unpopularopinion9831 I didn't say they had it easy. U r a genius yourself too and stop putting words in my mouth.

  50.  @guardiandevil3  Every village had one. And there weree a lot of fam. members to fetch waters. As well as people who would do a job like that for a crust of bread.
    1
  51.  @guardiandevil3  You don't understand how cheap the labour was back then. You didn't have to be wealthy to hire someone for an odd jobs. So many people were desperate they would work for a crust of bread. And not all the peasants were poor either. In Ukraine and Russia quite a few were very well off. The majority were 'middling peasants' and my ancestors were among those. According to the stories they told me, they enjoyed pretty decent living standards. Quite comparable to the middle class of that day.

  52.  @guardiandevil3  Great Depression was a dire time. But peasants even in the Middle Ages did not always live in the time of strife and famine. There were also many years of great harvest and relative well being.
    1
  53.  @guardiandevil3  No, survival rates were higher than that, at least 60% So if they had 10, at least 6, or on av. 7-8 would survive. My great-grandmother (b19140) had 6 sibs. Only 2 died, but they were a pair of twins. Multiples back then had low odds of surviving. The rest lived old enough to have their own kids.

  54. Maybe Scandinavians should apologize to all those European countries they plundered, enslaved and colonized. And so should Italians. Wonder if Metatron has ancient Roman guilt over ancient Roman misdeeds.

  55.  @petera618  In that case Metatron is off the hook.

  56. Man, I've lived in Canada 25 yrs, went to high school in Toronto and ime even my English teachers treated punctuation like some kind of afterthought if they even remembered it. I think it's a part of a natural evolution of language, English is shedding punctuation the way it shed genders and cases of nouns centuries ago.

  58. Why wouldn't she fall in love w him? To paraphrase Marilyn Monroe, it's just as easy to love a powerful man as it is to love a powerless man. Didn't someone also say power is the greatest aphrodisiac?

  59. That's a seriously $#!tty thing SW did. Unacceptable. She thinks she's so rich and famous she can do anything. On the positive side, your wife's Halloweeny nails look GREAT!

  60. Actually the guy is using the correct academic English pronunciation of the name. As for English speakers mangling foreign names, you should hear what they do to the Slavic ones!

  64. Hope that the dogs don't get any medical issues on top of that. Veterinary medicine is NOT cheap and paying for both human and animal med. care at the same time is the last thing anyone needs. Btw r the puppies insured? I'm looking into it for my dog and cat and wondering if it's worth it.

  65. Same problem with the names of Slavic foods in North America. They say pirogis. Pirogi is already plural. Pirog is singular. Not to mention that what they call pirogi is really vareniki. Pirogi is made w yeast dough and is fried or baked from raw. And a question, Who is the dogs' favourite parent?🥟🥟🥟🐕🐕

  68. If we want characters to be true to the ethnic origins of characters then Spiderman SHOULD have been black all along because he is based on Anansi who happens to be a spider man from African/Afro Caribbean folk tales.

  70. I don't think Ariel was race swapped. In Andersen's tale her race was never explicitly stated in the first place and so she can be of any race/racial mixture.

  71.  @metatronyt  Even so, her skin colour is not essential to the story and therefore can be changed.

  72.  @tayebizem3749  They are also imaginary and so one can take liberty with their physical characteristics that are nonessential to the story. And her skin colour plays no such role and therefore can be changed.

  73.  @metatronyt  I find change fun. It's fun to take old concepts and put fresh spin on them. Think of Shakespeare and Jane Austen. How many times their works were remade in recent days, stories set in recent times and different countries. Funny no one complains about that.

  77.  @jarskil8862  Well, I'm sure there was a lot of travel and um, mixing betweet Egyptians and Sub-Saharans.

  78. Are they physical entities or do they project a physical entity image on our senses?

  79. Even before this war we had unbalanced male to female ratio in Ukraine and Russia. This war reduced the number of men even further. In light of the situation in pays ladies in both countries to be sexually flexible and consider same sex relationships. Just sayin'.

  80. Oh, so now u r a cultural relativist? We don't do it in our day but u have to respect cultural values of the past! I LOATHE cultural relativis every bit Steven Pinker does. As a woman I find it reprehensible when someone rails against least sign of sexism in the West, past or present, real or imagined and then turns around, looks at ATROCITIES against women in developing non-white cultures and starts spewing crap that we should respect 'their way of doing things" and "not forcing Western values" because, CULTURAL RELATIVISM due to post-colonial Western Guilt!

  84. Gay marriage in what's nowadays Ukraine, Russia, and Belarus? Whaaa??? OK, cool.

  85. I've read from some sources that during Roman empire there were some black people in Britain, modern France and modern Germany so people in those land had some black admixture centuries ago.

  86.  @thejames2211  Nature Knows No Colour Line is the title of the book. Btw r u being sacrastic or genuinely surprised? Because both parts of Africa and North Western Europe beonged to Roman Empire so people DID travel within its boundaries even though it was hard, slow and dangerous. And probably expesive to. Therefore there was a fair bit of cultural/genetic exchange.
