He got scared at a certain point, you can see it in his body language. The weirdly stiff walk back to the car is somebody who is afraid to get jumped again and who just learned that he hasn't got a chance against a crowd. The kids let him go, actually endangering themselves by doing it. You don't want to give men like him an opportunity to arm themselves (weapon in the car or the car itself is a weapon).

Absolutely not how medieval kings were ever able to act. They were heavily bound by laws and all their decisions had to be supported by their peers to work. Absolutist kings hundreds of years after the middle age ended could wield similar power, but the closest comparison is without a doubt modern fascist dictators like Hitler, Mussolini et al. Not to be nitpicky, I get the sentiment, but calling him a king is actually underestimating the seriousness of the current situation.

Don't confuse kings with dictators, kings didn't have death squads. This is fascism, monarchy is a very different thing.

Yeah, its painful to say but this is actually sage advice. The most recent science points to ultra processed foods as the biggest problem in modern diets. Probably healthier to cook with meat, butter and cheese every day instead of consuming highly processed food.

Most kings in history had less executive power and resources than Trump has nowadays. He's closer to a roman emperor. Calling him a king is an understatement.

I think you are confusing HEMA and buhurt. HEMA, while being a contact sport, has a pretty low rate of injury, and is generally regarded rather as bookish than thuggish.

Most of the supposed 'medieval' torture devices that are exhibited in these museums are actually fabrications by victorian weirdos, especially the crazy ones. Sorry to burst that bubble.

He has been supporting and endorsing young progressive candidates time and time again. Looks like trying to build the next generation, even against adversity from the party elites.

Since you have the word history in your username, I will correct you without being asked. Bidenhänder/Zweihänder are modern terms, the period name would be mostly schlachtschwert.

I have a Regenyei montante and I highly recommend it, probably the best solo training you can have.

The church didn't oppose the heliocentric model out of religious reasons, but because the scientific evidence at the time pointed to geocentric being more likely. The whole story is highly warped by 19th century bourgeois propaganda.

Very true. Its incredible how our propaganda machine has turned feudal kings, who had to negotiate and bargain for every little thing they wanted to achieve, into a symbol for abuse of power while the 'leader' of the 'democratic west' continues on an unstoppable teardown of the worlds economic and military structures.

We have surpassed the divide between the peasantry and nobility/clerus by magnitudes in modern times. The difference between Musk and a third world worker is unimaginable for a medieval person. No time in history has been as lenient to its ultra rich as our capitalist society.

There is a fair percentage of competitive people that never tone down their efforts, no matter the situation or the opponent. If they compete, they give it their all.

Also, most kings in history wielded less unrestricted power than the orange man atop this so-called democracy. Medieval kings for example did not reign over centralized states but had to negotiate day in day out with basically everybody. Fascism is a modern invention, don't blame it on gods and kings. The Third Reich had neither.

It gives the sauce a chance to brown and reduce before being absorbed by the rice, imparting a nice smoky and caramelised flavour to it

Considering late medieval standards this much plate is fairly common. Fully articulated arms/legs would be expensive.

100% disagree. I have a degree and a fulltime job and school was the worst part of my life so far.
