🤔

Are you about to summarise the plot of “the last samurai”

<:thinkcide2:462282425486147585>

Oh wait I think I read books about this

As a kid

So how about that trump transcript <:smugon:512048583806025739>

He was an excellent ship builder, one of the best and most innovative in the West.
So when Emperor of Japan heard of his knowledge, he did everything to please this foreigner, including making him a samurai

did they release the transcript?

Yep

Moral of the story: stay in school, learn a trade, and excell at it

Excellent ship builder who’s ship crashed 😉

You'll be very valuable to someone

moral of the story; leave school, learn something useful

excel at it

Don’t leave school...

Where do they teach trades in public school?

true

dont' go

@PureEvilPie I never read "the last samurai", I know that from a historty book

No no

I was making a joke

hehe

It’s some American film

😉

Yeah I know, with tom cruise

Ya

It is embellished, compared to the real story

Which I find more interesting

isn't it always in the movies?

I wish they made that Marco Polo series more historical, rather than having Marco Polo save fucking Mongolia

only books can be accurate yet interesting

unless the story already has ALOT of drama

One brit turned out to be pivotal for a unification of Japan under one ruler, AND a great technological leap forward

That series was great except for bloody Marco Polo

Fascinating story that

well, that phenomena is well documented; hell, i've experienced it

especially when dating a german

you tend to come up with different ways to express things and make less hard assumptions

hard assumptions impede communications

i can see how one Brit could affect such an impact

Well, Japan was also scammed by NL at that time
