/hi/

I want a good overview book of the Crimean War but it doesn't really seem like there is a canon account of this historical period. Figes has written one, but he's a rather modern historian. All the published histories of the Crimean War seem pretty modern.

What do you think of Orlando Figes? Is he a solid, dependable writer? Do you think that he would show a pro-British bias in this book?

Ukraine wants Crimea back unless Crimea becomes its own country...

I had to get a new ID picture because it'd been a long time since I got one. I fucking hate it. I'd look better reflected in the back of a heroin spoon.

I've seen chicks that look damn near magically good post fugly looking girls saying that they're jealous of how they look and I'm pretty sure they were not larping

But what I'm trying to say is that I think some extremely good looking people don't understand the strata in which they exist like AT ALL (they know they're good looking, but they don't understand the degree of differentiation and probably hyper fixate on the flaws, which sometimes is actually a minor thing, but they probably blow it up in their mind), but then again it's a subjective thing, it's just weird that the person themselves doesn't understand it. Shouldn't the one who is evaluated be kind of like the highest authority in a sense, because it's literally the native vibration for them...

I wonder if guys are ultimately capable of seeing higher beauty in girls than the girls themselves regardless of how beautiful they are... (Because the opposite sex might have the keener eye, not to mention men are more visual in the first place)
I wonder if beautiful people are capable of recognizing higher levels of beauty than the average folk...

I remember thinking I was beautiful... Especially right after rocket rides to outer space
Got to grow a third set of teeth though, this one's just kinda fucked.. not to mention recessed maxilla... I won't bore you with the details, but that shit neither looks good nor functions very well when it's fucked up...

But to truly appreciate fucked up jaws (and teeth to be fair) one has to grow up with these babies, I pity the children who are growing up with that now, and there's a fuckton of them... On the other hand, their chances are better than mine... But it's just so brutal man

One thing we know for sure - The difference between Friedrich Nietzsche or Nikola Tesla and an average man is VASTLY greater than the difference between an average man and a monkey. And I would argue that the same applies to beauty. Yet, certainly - it is in the eye of the beholder.

Yeah, OP, that's how ageing works. But wait, it gets worse: eventually it kills you too. Just ignore all that crap and enjoy the good things in life.

This game did not go the way I expected it to. I guess playing on medium even for a quickie after a long break is too easy now.

A sweet love story rather than porn, but it has some nudity in it... so I guess it's kinda nsfw.

how the hell did the likes of Bill Pullman, Bridget Fonda, Brendan Gleeson, Oliver Platt, and Betty White got involved in this flat and plain B tier creature feature?
was David E Kelley really that big of a namepull in the 90's?

and even if we ever made the comparison to Jaws (1975) for both being a creature feature
it's not gonna be a fair one
Jaws blew it out of the proverbial water
in every conceivable way, even with a simple premise, and a dated creature animatronic
director, writing, cinematography, score, casting, acting
utterly outclassed

her character, paleontologist kelly scott, doesn't make any sense either
>A Letterboxd review describes Fonda's character as a "snobby uptight New York female," suggesting she was cast to embody a fish-out-of-water archetype, a staple in David E. Kelley's writing.
of the two of the actual paleontologist that I've met & known, they loved the outdoors, the very picture of outdoorsmen, they stalk badlands and empty wastes, not afraid to get into the dirt, they have an air of both academics and rural folks
so this, "snobby uptight New York female," remark is nuts

They got frankensteined because of Ming the Mercilesses starving nigger jew Ash Ketchum surgeons needed more organs to satisfy nurse Joy and officer Jenny's soulless endeavors. So they had to find a way out and the wilderness is the only way.
