every time I see someone from outside australia (or inside australia tbh) say “everything in australia wants to kill you lol” I want to scream. you are buying into colonial narratives! you are reinforcing the construction of the “aussie battler”! you are ignoring the way first nations people have lived with the land for centuries! you are participating in the homogenisation of australia in your belief that this is a land that needs to be tamed! shut up shut up shut up
Monks As Public Notaries (addendum to Monastic Orders In The Area Of Modern Slovakia In The Middle Ages)
Among the unique features of Hungarian convents was their function as public institutions, the places of verification [1], which were empowered to verify and issue lawfully binding documents. The places of verification (loca credibilia) were unique Hungarian legal institutions which had no equivalent anywhere else. These were ecclesiastical institutions - chapterhouses and convents, as they had at their disposal educated and literate people. They created, on request from persons natural and juridical, by the order of the monarch or on the basis of a state decree, reliable documents, typically pertaining to property rights, and provided documentation of legal transactions.
Chapterhouses and monasteries, aside from fulfilling their basic tasks of the spiritual character, were the only cultural institutions to have any influence over the populace. At the same time, they functioned as educational institutions, where, among other things, the Roman law was taught. In this law, basic components of notary work (ars notarialis) were already included. However, in the monasteries and chapterhouses, law was not only taught, but also put into practice, which destined the aforementioned ecclesiastical institutions for enacting civil law. The trustworthyness of clergymen also played an important role here. Monks and canons participated on buying and selling, donations or writing down testaments as witnesses, whose sealed written testimonies gained not only legal power, but also eternal sanctity. Hungarian landowners, who were often away on military ventures, surrendered valuable documents as their most prized possessions to the hands of the churches. Here, verified and sealed transcriptions of documents were made at a request of the parties, such as for the needs of the courts. The documents issued by ecclesiastical entities obtained their trustworthyness not on the basis of laws or decrees, but in accordance with the customary law.
Initially, only chapterhouses played the role of the places of verification, but the rising societal demand for the issuing of documents raised the need for the placement of monasteries into this role. These were Benedictine, Premonstratensian and crusader convents. Cistercians also played this role for a time. It's also the Benedictines, Premonstratensians and Cistercians who are considered to have been the three most successful orders in medieval Europe. The authentic seals were the signifiers of a place of verification in the Middle Ages, and in the Modern Era, they were joined by the protocols. However, cases of abuse of this power did occur, as the practice of this service brought significant revenue. For this reason, in 1353, a revision of the seals of convents and chapterhouses was ordered, following which the number of places of verification stabilized.
In Hungary, the role of the place of verification was played by 16 cathedral and 10 collegiate chapters, 18 Benedictine (after 1353 only 10), nine Premonstratensian (after 1353 only six), eight crusader (after 1353 only three) convents and smaller convents, such as Cistercian ones. In Slovakia, these were the convents and chapterhouses that served as notariates: the cathedral chapterhouse of Saint Emmeram in Nitra, the collegiate chapterhouses of Saint Martin in Bratislava and Spišská Kapitula [2], the Benedictine convent of Saint Hippolytus of Rome on the Zobor and of Saint Benedict in Hronský Beňadik, the Premonstratensian provostships of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Šahy and Kláštor pod Znievom, in eastern Slovakia the Premonstratensian convent of Saint John the Baptist in Jasov and of the Holy Cross in Leles. Before the revision, legal transactions were also enacted by the Cistercians in Spišský Štiavnik and the members of the provostship in Nižná Myšľa.

i think one of the best parts about being a teenager in the early to mid 2010s was that cigarettes were definitely not cool anymore and vapes hadn’t popularized yet so my lungs made it out of my peak impressionable years relatively unscathed
For anyone wondering, the PhD student's name is Myra Cheng.
Here's a link to an article about the study from the Stanford Report: link.
Across three preregistered studies, participants interacting with sycophantic AI became more convinced of their own rightness and less willing to repair relationships. Yet at the same time, participants rated sycophantic AI models as higher quality, more trustworthy, and more desirable for future use, which may explain why this behavior has persisted despite its harmful impacts.

older lotr illustrations sometimes depict éowyn wearing ridiculously small armour. apart from the problem general sexualisation of the only female character (who really does anything), there’s another hilarious thought:
éowyn pretended to be dernhelm, a man. to fit in, she must have worn men’s armor. so the armor in the illustrations is normal for rohirrim.
therefore, all the rohirrim rode to war just like that:
there’s a thundering sound in the distance as the rohirrim ride into war but rather than hoofbeats it’s the collective sound of all their cheeks clapping
the artist for this particular piece is Frank Frazetta and to be fair to him this is how he drew the orcs armor
so the rohirrim comment is probably not that far off
That’s a man who just straight up had a problem with the concept of wearing pants into battle, and I respect that
male or female
hero or villain
sea or land
even in the snow
I guarantee you Frazetta’s Rohirrim were 100% pants-free
Good Old Frank. That man loved bodies and hated clothes so much
Frank Frazetta was the reason He-Man was designed like that; the producers conduct a study to see what art appeal the most to children, and Frank’s work came out on top in popularity. So everyone in He-Man is dressed the way they are directly because of Frazetta.
That man gave us the gift of warrior thighs and tits for everyone.
Ah, it has been too long since I have seen the no pants post on my dash. And yes, this is a rare case where it wasn’t some sexist nonsense but an egalitarian No Pants Agenda.
It’s time for my regular reblog of Gondor Needs No Pants
Frank Frazetta - Wikipedia
“I am definitely an ass man. It blows my mind. Talk about simple shapes. Two very simplistic curves. It’s so dumb, but they are fascinating as hell. It’s more than that. It’s the way the rest of the anatomy ties into that area — incredible beauty”
- Frank “godfather of fantasy art” Frazetta
Tbh germ theory DOES sound crazy. Like if you told a regency-era nobleman that tiny creatures lived on the surface of everything and THAT’S what causes consumption, they’d be like “ah, I see you are a lunatic. Would you reside in my hermitage? Rantings and ravings do so amuse my guests”
But if you told a Medieval person this they would probably go "Ah, so when the miasma settles on surfaces it gains evil life. I understand."
Yeah, actually, it would probably be pretty easy to explain germ theory to a Medieval person as tiny evil spirits that live on everything, but they can be purified by soap and water, or by alcohol, because that is why God has granted us those things. And because they can float in the air, if you cough or sneeze after they have infested you, that can cause them to infest others. And when you are sick, the angels God has deputized to defend the bodies of His beloved children are at war with the evil spirits, and, sadly, sometimes they lose, but the best way to help your angels win their battle is to rest, drink plenty (this would probably be small beer in this time period, not water, because the water was also infested), stay clean, and for the sake of God do not allow anyone to let your blood, for the angels need that blood in their war against the evil spirits. Bloodletting is good for some types of illnesses but not the kinds caused by the tiny evil spirits.
boiling as a sterilization measure is also easy to explain. water returns to the air when heated and it rises as steam back up to the floodgates of heaven; we know God created the world in seven days, He's not up there making more water every time it rains. it circulates. the returning of water to heaven also purifies the water of unclean and malign influences. you know wormy water from a muddy puddle will kill your kid. you know you wouldn't wade into a bog and have a slurp. water that remains in the low places of earth absorbs all that is unclean from our waste and it may also sponge up new diseases from hell, we're not totally sure about that one, but it seems likely. God set up the heavenly water cycle so that the earth's waters wouldn't totally fill up with gunk.
what does this have to do with boiling your surgical tools? well look, the boiling water releases bubbles of steam which carries the malign influences up to heaven. you boil a knife, you send all the miasmic particles off with the steam to heaven. if you rinse the knife off in a bucket the water isn't hot enough, the particles go into the water and then right back on to the knife. you gotta boil it to get the particles all the way away. how can a tool or rag or a bed have miasmic particles on it when you can't smell them? humans have a lousy sense of smell. look at your dog on the hunt. are there no rabbits in the woods just because you can't smell them? we know that miasma is carried on the air, and is what makes stench so dangerous, and we know that humans can't smell worth a damn compared to dogs cats horses etc. a dog can smell if a rat died in a corner of the room last week. you can't. do you think licking the spot where the rat died is going to go well for you? luckily, what humans lack in snout we make up for in brains. we have extra brains where our sniffers should have been. God set that up for a reason.
and why does a rinse with wine spirits work? man, look how fast alcohol evaporates. my guess is that because wine contains a lot more vice than water, it evaporates a whole lot faster, in sort of an equal and opposite way that a rock falls faster than a feather. if you want the miasmic particles to get off there FAST, you dunk it in something that's going back to heaven at a gallop.
what's up with honey? it just preserves things against corruption. doesn't clean them off. honey doesn't evaporate at all. probably because bees don't sin. it's not good for ridding a tool of particles-- it's sticky-- but fine for preserving anything you don't want to go to heaven OR hell. this is why you wash the wound with wine spirits or purified water FIRST, to sluice the miasma out, then slap the honey on AFTER. and boil the damn bandage, too. you wouldn't put a rotten door in a sound doorframe and expect it to keep out bandits, would you? cmon.

Stealing this for a story idea I'm working on.
carlton hooking himself up to the lie detector solely to show shawn that he was dead fucking serious when threatening him with murder if he hurt juliet was absolutely insane and extremely underrated bestie behavior btw. shovel talk but he is not in the least bit being hyperbolic he may not be able to express affection properly but he WILL empty his clip into you if you touch one hair on his beloved partner’s head. and there’s a polygraph to prove it.
