He’s an ultra nerd.


He’s done the ultra hot chick that doesn’t get him and looks down on him for liking video games and talking weird a few times.

He got a low maintenance weird girl who he can hang out with who is stranger than him.

If you follow her she is quite loyal. She says things that clearly parrot what he’s told her.

“We named our kid because our favorite plane is the Skunkworks A12”

“AI and capitalism will bring the best socialism”

Yeah, I think many people are under the impression that commoners in the Medieval periods and Middle Ages lived under complete tyranny and that nobles exercised power cruelly and arbitrarily. In England, at least, common law dating to the Magna Carta pretty clearly put limitations on the monarch's power. Beyond this, there were simple practical reasons not to act too tyrannically- namely, you didn't want a population that despised you and was constantly on the verge of revolt.

And only applied in England. Protections in other parts of Europe were pretty inconsistent and poorly enforced.

The 1632 series of novels devolved from a series about a pack of Americans stoking a feudal uprising in late medieval Germany to a mind numbing slog through the endless bullshit of European late medieval law. I got tired of those novels and stopped reading but after reading that claptrap I can see why Napoleon was so popular with so many people of the time. People tend to think of him as just a conqueror. But he did do a lot of work cleaning up European law.

Generally no. Some areas had laws on max size of knives.  Swords wernt particularly useful against armored knights when compared to spears, or axe/pick type weapons, against unarmored untrained opponets a sword is quite effective, and scary. A one handed sword would be more comparable to a sidearm today. a defensive weapons vs offensive. An offensive weapon back then would be a spear, large ax, bow, crossbow, halberd, large mace or two-handed sword.
Swords are cool, same way pistols are cool but real fighting was done with longer weapons, and  more range/penetration.

Swords were also a "rank" signifier, a fancy sword would indicate wealth, status, and ability to flaunt it. like a modern BBQ gun... if SHTF would that or the beater AR15 be the choice?

The author of that series doesn't like to do interviews. But I'll never forget seeing a thing where she explained the inspiration of those novels.

She was ill, during the early days of the Iraq War she was flipping through the channels and what she saw was war coverage and game shows. In her fevered state it all kinda ran together.

Where things get doubleplus stupid is that so many young girls read those books and saw those movies. Saw that fucked up society and thought that it would be fun to live there...

swords wernt really "sharp" until about 1600's, (saber/rapier type) grabbing the blade with off hand for jamming it through armor with double strength was a tactic, seriously, you wouldn't do that if your sword was "sharp" . they were edged, but not anything like an ax even.

Pretty much, swords past a certain point were more of a fashion accessory than a useful weapon. A big old slab of steel was not something most people could afford. Long stabby things that let you keep your distance were cheap and more effective. Up close and personal maces and axes were the superior can opener for fighting armored opponents.

That is just untrue swords were sharp even in the Bronze Age. Sharp enough to shave with, they knew how to make things sharp and they knew weapons needed to be sharp.

There were certainly swords DESIGNED to not have an edge like Estocs for example, but that’s not exactly every sword.

Also, half swording is completely doable with a razor sharp edge.

Half-swording - Why grabbing a sharp blade in a sword fight is not crazy

Swords were absolutely sharp throughout history. You can half-sword with a sharp sword if you aren't stupid about it (and swordsmen usually wore gloves). Swords often were not be very sharp until halfway up the blade which made it even easier, but they absolutely had sharp edges at the last 1/3 or so during the age of armor and usually fully sharp in eras and areas where armor wasn't as much of a concern.
