> What isn't? 
Utopian fallacy

>  Lots of them are considered objective scientific works.
Humanities is just one step away from these idiots which I don't consider an achievement.

Statistics hardly ever provide full picture, ignoring economics(which is closest thing to pass as science in social science), neither infotaintment and such videos.

We need a thing called 'eyetest' if you're not familiar with the term, it's mostly used by sports community in US, emphasizing shortcomings of statistics dependency and only watching highlights, in this case this video is more or less equivalent of highlights. 

I understand social science is way more complicated than sports, but the reason sports emphasize eyetest is not because they're simpler, it's because there are stakes for getting things right. Meanwhile no social scientist, youtuber, social media shill or local ignorant get punished for getting things wrong but only speaking against certain norms.  

Social scientists benefit from this, because with that they can have more status despite not achieving shit. People wrongfully think almost all clases try their best to do what they're obliged but we know that's not true.

My general opinion is just, it caters to stereotypes by morons indulging in to stereotypes. It almost always get increasingly ignorant and even hostile for every inch they get away from western europe.

I have internet, which is a great asset, if you use it for getting more glorified grandpa hearsays that's on you. 

Simply not watching these type of channels and listening to the most of the humanity degree idiots who lost their touch with reality is criminally underrated. Simply not thinking in their terms, being devoid of intellectual mediocrity is a huge asset, not to mention better for social gains wise, as they're mostly bitter or passive aggressive people vastly overestimating themselves. Not falling for middle intelligence traps such as this, is a virtue and reward itself.

You are projecting now. You were the one who got offended by that video. Still don't know why, for you did not present your differing views about Hungary/the tourist experience of Hungary - which Geopold made the video of.
You simply blabbering about morons and idiots, and grumbling about reddit humour. Your whole point is that your taste is patrician and everyone else is pleb. It's a meme itself in written form.

You seem really sentimental and despite I replied why your points are wrong, commiting utopian fallacy and how should we inform ourselves, you resorted to damage control as you simply have nothing to contribute. 

Not to mention you call people bots when they hold different opinion, so you're not in position to complain "you call everyone idiot" nor have any legit reason to do so. 

If you want an echo chamber where your views are not challenged you're welcome to have it. If I was a fedora, I would certainly create a small echo chamber and circlejerk endlessly, where there are no meaningful discussions happen.

Glad to see you're back Turkeybernd  >>/51755/

Can you please comment (and like and subscribe) on my recent post involving a few Turkish girls I met.

 >>/51481/
> Small story about 2 girls that were visiting my city from Turkey.

> One was raly nice and had a husband. But she looked raly overworked and tired most of the time. She worked in a hotel and went to visit Turkey a lot.

> The other girl was raly whore-ish. And she always told everyone around my social group how much she hated Islam in regular conversation (being srs), was super Atheist, ate pork all the time out of spite. She was also liek hyper feminist. Kind of a weird experience dealing with her. She even hated Muslim men and Turks too.


Pls extrapolate your opinions

Our army picked well with those canned items, that company makes solid meals, very edible, tastes fine. He did right to add salt, because they lack in that for my taste, especially compared to some other canned food, which are full of sodium.
The weird packet of seasoning is tomato soup. I laffed a bit when he added to the mix, but actually fits the flavor since both those meals can (and probably does) contain tomato. And paprika.
The liver pate is also fine.

yewtube has a stably working invidious instance now. And the list got a bit longer.
Worth to note. These guys:
https://perennialte.ch/
... run alternative frontends for all kinds of services. Very interesting. They have invidious instance. I tried Mozhi - a translation frontend which should unify a bunch of translation services (such as Google, DeepL, Libre Translate) - too, but it does not work quite well. Expect a mixed bag.

From the titles he covers interesting topics. I don't know about the actual content. His accent is almost insufferable for me.

I watched this about the Chinese siege of the Russian held Albazin and it was okay. He compares Chinese and European fortification - he seemed do well -, and tried to explain why Chinese siege practices different, why they evolved differently - here he failed, he did not make it clear the insertion of the sponsored content was also unfortunate.

This one here he compares the longbow with the crossbow.
https://yewtu.be/watch?v=dO_8ZQ37D4Y
https://youtube.com/watch?v=dO_8ZQ37D4Y
At not one point he mentions that longbow was used by folks in a limited geographical area: the dudes on the Small Island, and even there it was a Welsh weapon, who levied longbow troops to the English kings as their liege lord. It wasn't like:
> I'm Henry the XXIInd
> I have Londonum
> and now I'll raise 2000 longbowmen here
> click
Continental Europe did not manufacture and use longbows. They had "bows" and that's it. Crossbows were superior to that. It's just bows could be used by any levied peasant. They had that at home. They hunted in the communal used woods with 'em, or poached in their liege lord's forest.
He has such a twisted Anglo view.

I regularly see that channel be recommended to me, I don't remember if I have watched anything they made or not. There are many channels that look like that and I don't really watch them so it's hard to tell them apart.

Russian's aren't really European.

Longbows are good weapons, they are fast firing and powerful so they can cut down cavalry charges by shooting the horses out from under them.
It's more about culture than anything else, the English had a culture of Archery that Europe didn't. Villages and towns had communal archery grounds that people would gather at to practice, kind of like a sport or a social venue(The king also made this longbow practice mandatory at some point).

The French did have Scottish long bowman fight for them and they also tried implementing an English style of training for archers where they got villages to train with them and made them liable to be called up in times of war. I don't know if these French Longbowmen were ever used in combat though.

I found a Wikipedia article on the French archers I was talking about.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franc-archer

It says they were archers and does not actually say they were Longbowman though but I think they probably were. And the Book that I read about it in the first place said they were Longbowmen(War Bows by Mike Loades, which is currently being used to raise up my computer monitor).

But the fort they built at Albazin was.
> fast firing
Well they are fast as any other bow. The video examines the question of rate of fire and concludes, the rate of fire might have been largely irrelevant.
The longbowmen in European history had only any impact during the 100 Years War. Firearms already started to appear and the whole thing was gone. Btw there were battles, fought with the same setup, same tactics as Crécy, and the French knights won just fine, I can recall some from the Aquitane front, I can't be arsed to search for them.

I would say that rate of fire was hugely important, that's also what most things I have read say(such as the book I mentioned before). And it makes sense, an archer has a limited window to fire at oncoming cavalry before they close, he needs to do as much damage as possible in that window.

Longbowmen were also used by the Landsknecht, well it was something like a longbow I think it might have been even bigger but is seems like it was more of a speciality weapon and not many of them used it. They were used by the English in conflicts other than the 100 years was as well, for example they were quite successful in some battles against the Scottish. The Longbowmen would create weak points in formations of Scottish pikes and the English cavalry would charge in and exploit these weak points.

Yes, firearms made the longbow obsolete. That's probably why we don't hear much about French archers, they were introduced in 1448 so they were already probably too late. Apparently they did see some combat though.

The video argues that bows were a weapon to harass the enemy, to force them into action (an early charge for example) or withdrawal more than a weapon that used to kill (which were the crossbows). Bows were used throughout the whole battle.
He also claims. Also firing is quite tiring for the bowmen, so if not in the practical tests done recently they probably did not fire in rapid succession. He mentions the difficulty of supplying that many arrows too.
I think what isn't mentioned in the video (and which does not contribute to the individual rate of fire discussion much) is the importance of volleys, that archers and crossbowmen firing together a large number of missiles. Think of the recollection of the Persian incursions into the old Hellas. How it was noted that their arrows darkened the sky.
As for the ammo supply. There is some data how much arrows were fired by the Parthians at Carrhae. A lot ofc, brought by thousands of pack animals (I think they used camels for that). All right the Persia was larger military machine than Medieval England, but there was will they took enough arrows.

> They were used by the English in conflicts other than the 100 years was as well
Umm, those skirmishes barely larger than the clashes of football firms of '80s are don't count. I don't even know how are they part of military history at all.

Firerarms made pretty much any bows obsolete. The loud noises are better for posturing.

I can understand what he is saying and he isn't strictly wrong but what he is talking about refers more to cavalry archers than to Long-bowmen. Off the top of my head I can't really recall a battle that Longbowmen won by harassing a defending enemy to make them charge.

Whether Longbows or even crossbows were a weapon to kill or a weapon to harass is complicated given that the damage they both can do varies overtime as armour gets better and as crossbows get better and even as Longbows increase in draw weight. But most test have shown that neither can punch through plate armour. But the main advantage of the Longbow was that it shot the horses out from under enemy cavalry which caused a lot of chaos. Yes, shooting a longbow is exhausting, people like Mike Loades think that it would be a very fast but short and exhausting kind of event, they also don't think they would be shooting in volleys but instead each archer would be shooting as fast as he himself could. And that makes sense because there isn't much of a window for archers to shoot at an oncoming cavalry charge.

> Umm, those skirmishes barely larger than the clashes of football firms of '80s are don't count. I don't even know how are they part of military history at all.
There are some pretty major campaigns and wars as well, like wars against Scotland as mentioned but also the war of the roses and wars in Portugal and stuff. An English royal also brought an army that included many Longbowmen crusading alongside the Teutonic order and they did fairly well.

Google/youtube is wrecking Invidious.

These days I'm browsing videos on invidious, and use yt-dlp to get the video. But after a while I get error, apparently youtube limits the request rates, and I think their Invidious instance run out of it.
When that happens I use piped to browse. Problem is on pipe I don't see option to order videos. So the two platform has to be mixed depending on usecase, not to abuse invidious' limits...
Almost getting to the point when its just simpler to bite the bullet and suffer on the youtube.

There was one nitter instance that worked reliably. Was a short downtime when Musk got the 5 minutes and shut xtwitter in, but that's over.

The fuck, DPA doesn't update his Odysee channel anymore! Last video is from 7 days ago...
If I remember correctly there is a service for youtube/odysee that yt videos can be pushed to Odysee as well. Did Google break this? They are fucking with ad blockers and frontends for a while, perhaps this is the result of their retardation.
