That means you know lots of white people . Unfortunately this makes a difference . <| sep |> As an MMO player with shitty RNG , I can imagine the odds of getting all the boxes with the same figure in them . <| sep |> Lol . Nice ! Here ' s an upvote . <| sep |> The downside of too much texting is it deprives you from the opportunity to escalate kino in person . <| sep |> I ' d put it forth that one might say it had to do with similar reasons to the sword and shield making way for the rifle later on in much of the rest of the world an extremely early exhaustion of that professional warrior class with no resolution to the conflict in sight . Desperate times call for desperate measures . and if overall world history is any guide , there ' sit ' s really hard to put the genie of mass mobilization back into its bottle once released . So I think it ' s a question of viability Japan could develop a professional warrior caste in the 1400 s because of its relative isolation and fractious state . PostRoman Europe quite similarly devolved into smaller warlord states in which a professional knight caste could support their specialization on the labor of landbound peasantry . a situation that had not been the case in the relative freedom of preDiocletian Roman citizenship . But for China , it reached that breaking point early , and then never had the time nor philosophical inclination to recover that war is for the elite ethos . They happened too often , they spun up too fast , they lasted too long . and the philosophical currents ran against professional militarism as being honorable , not towards it .
