    most members of the warrior class were little more than brutish thugs. A handful would have taken the strategy of individual combat seriously and they would have done quite well.

    The majority of the people they were fighting were lightly armored at best and they could get away with just swinging the sharp end at the unfortunate peasant conscripted to try to stop them.

    There are plenty of examples of knights and samurai alike, falling for just the most obvious trap you could imagine. Templars charging in to open gates, samurai rushing to duel a guy who insulted them, in both cases blood drunk and stupid, children of privilege and in armor by accident of birth.

    The Last Duel is a decent example of what happens when guys like that and up fighting each other.

    We tend to have a romantic view of the past, but we have a great Instagram filter between us and then. Reality is ugly and violent. Few people are artists, even fewer are talented artists. This is true whether they’re painting or drawing blood.





  • I used to have a roommate that apparently had a habit of taking honey to the shower and fucking it. We found more than one jar of honey that he denied fucking, and others that lived with him reported the same.

    He would go on to sexually assault a friend of mine.

    Now I’m not saying JD Vance absolutely has sexually assaulted someone under the influence, but I am saying he looks and acts like a guy who would rape a hot dog bun after two shots of tequila.
