The analysis that the economic, technological, and physical resources available to a society—its "material conditions"—are not globally uniform, but are powerfully shaped by regional geography, climate, indigenous species, and historical path dependency. This theory argues you can't understand a region's politics, culture, or conflicts without first understanding what its land can grow, what its mountains hide, and what its rivers can carry. Fate is written in topsoil and ore deposits.
Example: The Theory of Regionalism of Material Conditions explains why the steppe regions of Eurasia, suited to horse pastoralism but not dense agriculture, repeatedly produced nomadic cavalry empires that clashed with the settled, grain-based imperial bureaucracies of China and Europe. The grass literally shaped global history.

Get the Theory of Regionalism of Material Conditions mug.A more granular version of regionalism, focusing on how hyper-local variations in material conditions—a single valley's microclimate, a specific hill's defensibility, a unique local mineral spring—create radically different societal outcomes even within the same broader region. It emphasizes that history is made not on continents, but in parishes, neighborhoods, and watersheds.
Theory of Locality of Material Conditions Example: In medieval Europe, a village built on a rocky hill with a freshwater spring (local material conditions) could become an independent, fortified town. A village a few miles away on a fertile floodplain might become a wealthy but vulnerable estate of a feudal lord. Their divergent political fates were dictated by a few meters of elevation and access to water.

Get the Theory of Locality of Material Conditions mug.Conditional DNP is a term used on the site E621.net which is a website hosting furry porn (Yiff).
The acronym means: 'conditional Do Not Post' this means that the artist whishes you not to repost it unless certain criterias are met. This is a tag on E621 which is shown in the artist category, this is why many people mistake it for an artist. (I did so myself, thats why i made this to help others)

Get the Conniptions mug.A condition which a member of SHINee has. Named after the leader of SHINee, Lee Onew (Lee JinKi), the condition is quite contagious. If you are crashing into random things, tripping over your own feet, craving for chicken, or making lame jokes that make the atmosphere awkward, you might just have this condition. There is no cure for this condition, but it might warm your heart that you aren't the only person who is suffering from this condition.
This condition was first named when fans of SHINee, known as Shawols, noticed that Onew kept making cute mistakes. At first they thought that it was very cute of Onew, but as time passed, they began to suspect that Onew was doing this for fanservice, and began to worry that he would hurt himself. His fellow members, Key and Jonghyun, have confirmed that this condition is real, and that Onew is not acting.

Onew Condition is really cute to see.
I hope that Onew won't hurt himself because of his Onew Condition.
