If Oscar Wilde had lived in our time, he would be a /b/tard.

Actually, scratch that. He does, and goes by Jethro Q Walrustitty.

I just realized that I don't know much of anything about what happened in Europe between Constantine and the first crusade.

ED: That video was amazing.

Most of that time (from about 300 to 700 AD) is called the "Migration Period", and is characterized by successive waves of invasion by different European tribes (mostly, but not exclusively, from east to west and from north to south). This was the time when the Goths, Vandals, Huns, and various other tribes which have become bywords for destruction were active; it's also when the Angles and Saxons invaded Britain, which had previously been ethically Celtic. Things had mostly settled down by 800 AD, but that's about when the Viking Age started; that persisted for another two hundred years or so, ending a few decades before the Norman Conquest with the breakup of Cnut's empire.

I just had the "bright" idea to name a mage NPC for Shadowrun David Munich.

So does western Buddhism ever amount to anything other than mystical "let's combine Buddhism with Christian heresies and other weird shit it doesn't mesh well with" and wangsty "everything in this life is more trouble than it's worth and being alive is the basic trouble" crap?

Ask someone with knowledge on the subject.

Sometimes rendered as "Canute", if I'm not mistaken.

Okay, so I wasn't the only one who found "Cnut" a very...odd name.

It's apparently not okay to discuss constantly how much you don't like something.

It's a crime that no one knows Alfred North Whitehead as anything other than "the Principia Mathematica guy who wasn't Bertrand Russell".

Do you ever feel that every time you solve a problem, another one gets put in its place? Like, there's always the same amount of order and chaos in the world all the time? That you never solve anything, merely move it somewhere else? I've started to feel that way recently.

^^There's a reason I keep saying I use this thread as a mini-It Just Bugs Me!. I figured it wasn't worth wasting a thread on it, but it was a random thought, so why not?

For the record, it came to mind because of what you just said about constantly discussing things you don't like.

I really don't know why I'm so preoccupied with Hell and demons this season.
