June 3, 20195 yr Author thank you youtube! https://www.youtube.com/user/cassandredavis/videos @Stromboli1 do you like her ass? Her channel is mostly about her workouts which earned her massive glutes. I think however, she took it a bit too far.
June 4, 20195 yr Author @Enrico_sw I highly admire people who can turn their passions into profitable businesses and enduring works like a youtube channel and popular books. Whenever I see channels like this I am reminded how I would like to do something similar and start my own channel on teaching the topics that I know. However, I am currently more interested in accumulating knowledge (eg. this spring I realized that I overlooked some topics in psychology and spirituality (On Dying)) and in reviewing my reading list I won't be done until Jan 2020 on the earliest. A lot of my teachable content would be military related, the rest would be on various subjects.

We tend to forget that swordsmanship was a real art in Europe a couple of centuries ago, but we didn't keep the sword mythology as much as the Japanese did with the katana. I don't like Russell Crowe. I think he's mostly a rotten actor with a big mouth.... Also, you have to consider that, to us, he kinda plays the enemy (with his king being the tyrannical despot who fights against freedom ) I don't recall that. I suppose the film has a pro-British bias. I most recall the good CGI, costumes, writing, and the warm depiction of brotherhood, friendship, curiosity/sense of adventure, and heroism. I was gifted a katana last year and it too seemed to be rather short & could use some lengthening. Then I remember that Japanese were very short and malnourished people pre-1950 (Average height of a japanese soldier in WW2 was 5 foot 4 inches, and even shorter in centuries past). so the sword was designed for a smaller person. There is also a longer version of the Katana used but it was ultra rare: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ōdachi

Yes, I'd like to do that too, maybe on astronomy or music. I could talk about women too, but I have BZ for that I think one of the motivating reasons could be to see it as a way to wrap up your knowledge. When you explain things to other people, you have to organize your knowledge to make it orderly and that's very useful IMHO. 6 hours ago, Cult Icon said: A lot of my teachable content would be military related, the rest would be on various subjects. Do you know the Battle of Verdun? Fascinating battle.

A while go I sensed that French comic/historical fantasy seems to have a lot of focus on WW1. In the US, WW1 is literally the "forgotten war", like korea! What's your favorite battles/topics in WW1/WW2?

It's kinda logical that people in the US remember more WW2, that's what made the US a superpower. In WW1, the US didn't have the same impact. In France, it's just the opposite: WW1 is the revenge after 1870 and France was among the key countries in victory, whereas WW2 was a severe downfall (so, it's not a very fond memory here). 18 hours ago, Cult Icon said: What's your favorite battles/topics in WW1/WW2? WW1: Verdun, la Marne. WW2: Stalingrad, Bastogne, Kursk, Carentan, Overlord.

June 5, 20195 yr ^ Not the same one, but I like Emily Blunt a lot! She is a very good actress (and very pretty).
