>>9519 The easy way to tell them apart is by the fact that Mooses are ugly but Elk aren't.

>>9520 I mean in (american) English. In all other languages "elks" are the ugly ones, and the other ones are just some type of deer, "cervus".

>>9521 Huh? Am I speaking American? That can't be right.

>>9522 You do, lol. Behold the fuckery: >The moose (pl.: 'moose'; used in North America) or elk (pl.: 'elk' or 'elks'; used in Eurasia) (Alces alces) is the world's tallest, largest and heaviest extant species of deer and the only species in the genus Alces. >Alces alces is called a "moose" in North American English, but an "elk" in British English.[4] The word "elk" in North American English refers to a completely different species of deer, Cervus canadensis, also called the wapiti (from Algonquin). Family: Cervidae Subfamily: Capreolinae Tribe: Alceini Genus: Alces Species: A. alces >The elk (pl.: elk or elks; Cervus canadensis) or wapiti, is the second largest species within the deer family, Cervidae, and one of the largest terrestrial mammals in its native range of North America and Central and East Asia. The word "elk" originally referred to the European variety of the moose, Alces alces, but was transferred to Cervus canadensis by North American colonists. >By the 17th century, Alces alces (moose, called "elk" in Europe) had long been extirpated from the British Isles, and the meaning of the word "elk" to English-speakers became rather vague, acquiring a meaning similar to "large deer". Family: Cervidae Genus: Cervus Species: C. canadensis In short, what everybody else calls an elk, americans call a "moose". And what everybody else just calls wapiti deer, americans call "elks". In reality, these wapiti (who americans call "elks") are so close to the red deer that till late 90s they were thought to be red deer subspecies.

>These animals are often divided into two species because the North American and Asian subspecies have greater presence of chromosomes than the European subspecies - European moose have 68 of them while "American moose" subspecies has 70. Lol

>>8017 I'm a fan of his spoken word recordings, although this one is certainly the best. Real 4am depressioncore.

>>9221 maybe it makes me a huge casual but I've always liked specifically golden wedding of sorrow and and giddy edge of light most

>>9242 I tried reading Ligotti, and found him insufferable. Then I learned that he's mostly an ideologist, not an author, and it all made sense. Depressioncore is one thing, but these insufferable whiny pessimists are simply losers. You wanna do anti-life art? Do it for real then, don't fucking bitch and whine like a pussy about your anti-natalism, "reducing suffering" and other pretentious effeminate emo garbage. Below the lid of a vast rounded monument Trickling of gristly vestiges and whacked hopes Enhanced by the horrible excess of fetid exhalation And uterine strangulation by the wreaths Of the herds astray, arid in despair, blessed With dilated flakes of fire, slowly wafting down... Say, what does a maternal heart feel when merely Vinegar stills your child's thirst? You'd implore to harbour his torment in your chest... To make his burden yours, but... Sacrilege! Who are you, harlot, to interfere with His emerald will When even your glance should never leave the soil? There resides the fusion, there is the nucleus Angel prick and holy semen, And a woman genuflecting an aroused beast of burden alike Seduced by the father and seducing the son There resides the fusion, there is the nucleus A phallic communion that sanctifies interior wastelands He that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption Carnal malefactor, rub your sterile wriggling womb With a candle in reverential contemplation And give voluptuous harbour to vile insects He that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption The scorpion shall open the book of Salomon for you to see And the snake slither out of the lips that delivered once The redeemer of man, born out of shameful maternity... He that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption The lactiferous Beast subjugated reason to appetite Praised be human nature, ciborium of shame and waste, For bathing in decline a redeemer moisty of semen so contemptible There resides the fusion, there is the nucleus Angel prick and holy semen, And a woman genuflecting an aroused beast of burden alike Seduced by the father and seducing the son There resides the fusion, there is the nucleus A phallic communion that sanctifies interior wastelands When a woman is knead by the claws of fowls attracted By seminal odours no longer hidden by dignity And purified by their beaks rummaging her swollen vagina When laments alter into praises despite holy duty and menacing perdition Seers can say that his birth does death subdue no more His birth does death subdue not, for my God proceeds of failed humility... O Master, the eastern pillar of your domination is the organic fallibility.

>>9242 Sorry for the offtopic. I also like Tibet's spoken word compositions; but Ligotti and other ideological pessimists like him can go fuck themselves.

Damn now I feel like rewatching Lucky Star and Kaiji.

Eb/int/

Albania is the worst

>>9461 Why do you use a German VPN, Albaniabernd?

>It's 2am on a Tuesday >You just downloaded the latest chapter of Lucky Star >No school tomorrow >Your parents don't care if you stay up all night >You're 38 >The year is 2025

wow 😮

To do what and compared to what?

>>9439 The flaws in the Swiss tactics quickly became apparent when they tried to expand into Italy. However, it was more than enough to repel old-fashioned feudal armies at the time.

Stronghold left my young childhood brain with long lasting mental scars. For a long time I thought pikes were halbreds and then even when I learnt that wasn't the case there was still this nagging thought in the back of my head that would keep saying that pikes were halbreds. I should sue.

>>9439 The English also defeated the Scottish pikes by weakening it with Longbowmen and then exploiting that weakness with cavalry. But sometimes terrain meant that wasn't possible and so the Scots would win. That's probably part of why Swiss Pike men couldn't expand into Italy like >>9441 said.

>>9457 Mostly it was lack of cavalry (with the Po Valley being ideal terrain for them) and lack of cannon. Charles the Bold used English Longbowmen against the Swiss in the Burgundian Wars and they weren't at all effective.

>>9482 It's hard to say. It doesn't seem like long bowmen were a major part of his army and I can't find much about how they actually were employed or what they did.

>>9423 >modern industries can't exist without modern financing. The problem is that this isn't as easy to visualize in a map as resources or free labour. It's not really so hard as it ultimately comes down to population, just like free labour. In places with high population density it's easier to generate capital for industrial ventures so it makes industry more common in places with high populations, which is why on the map industry is more common in the most populated areas of both Europe as a whole and individual countries.

>>9416 Flanders had much economical and trading autonomy and privileges by the emperor in the middle age. That was one of the reasons too.

RIVERS I V E R S

>>9419 But wasn't Flanders by then mostly agrarian while the industry and coal were in the south?

>>9440 No, it was densely urbanised. Highest population density in Europe together with Northern/Central Italy in the 14th/15th Cent.

>>9015 > wear sneakers and plain black shirts and just live a quiet life I fail to see the downsides?

>>9015 > Why would they want that? Because women get so much unwanted attention, and famous women even more so. IMO that's the reason why 90% of people become "transgender": The female-to-male finally want to have freedom from way too much attention, and the male-to-female finally want to get attention.

>>9170 The downsides are the struggle of transitioning. I imagine it sucks, and then they end up as just a dude.

>>9186 Women have no idea how little attention men get... I remember reading one of the biggest negatives of ftm is that suddenly women don't want to have anything to do with you and men don't automatically become your bestie. They said it felt psychologically damaging.

>>9420 Reminds me of these "tinder experiments" where women are shocked at how little matches men get. They truly are delusional.

>>9281 Jugendstil sisters... Did our time finally came?

>>9281 What if the movie is just the Germanosphere version of Coppola Marie Antoinette, with a prettier actress? I'll be wasting so precious time...

>>9407 I think in Austria it was called Secessionsstil

>>9410 People also say Jugendstil here. You can use both words for it afaik.

Thinking about watching pic rel because Trakl was Bernd tier but seems it mainly focusses on his incestuous relationship to his sister and is an edgy romance flick for women and I can't find a version online. Also they should've used an Austrian actor, there's readings of his works by Oskar Werner on YT, he would've been great.

>>9243 you make it sound like other people are responsible for your actions

>>9245 Other people are responsible for them.

My ultimate goal is to weight 200 lbs. I'm currently at 295 lbs., down from 410 lbs. As for my routine, three of my days are spent doing focus lifting sessions (45 minutes) and cardio (2+ hours), and the other three are spent doing a full lifting program (60-90 minutes) and then doing cardio.

>>9397 > My ultimate goal is to weight 200 lbs. I'm currently at 295 lbs., down from 410 lbs. Damn good job - you're halfway there. I lost 140lbs. Lots of cardio and low cal+high protein diet. Took a little over a year, 10lbs a month. When I hit the half way mark I was fucking pumped! How tall are you? 200lb might be too low

>>9397 Hats off.

>>9386 They even tell them they can ask for one

Isn't this the whole theater about how the police pretends it's just an "interview" and not an interrogation at all? Criminals are usually "smart enough" to commit a crime, but not smart enough to actually think through the entire thing. Once caught they are basically in unknown areas and try to "deal with it". Probably the best example is people like Hans Reiser.

>>9401 >Isn't this the whole theater about how the police pretends it's just an "interview" and not an interrogation at all? I was once accused of damaging my neighbour's car. I didn't do it and it was obvious from the type of damage and what he accused me of. Cops were called. One of the cops casually turned to me and said "when I was young, I also drunkenly broke a window by throwing a rock." I only said "well, as I said, I didn't" To this day, I feel like he wanted to set me up by pretending to have a casual conversation. Fucking pigs.

>>9403 >To this day, I feel like he wanted to set me up by pretending to have a casual conversation. Fucking pigs. He did. It's a basic tactic they use all the time that you can see on videos like in OP. What these videos usually do no show, is all the hundreds of actually innocent people that these manipulative pig sociopaths try this on, like convincing them, to just having a friendly talk without the attorney, and then just to sleaze their way into making you admit that you did maybe 5 years ago think about something vaguely similar to what happened, and then they have another case on their hands that they can use to get a raise. The more of these videos you watch the more you're convinced that most of them are absolutely sociopathic and subhuman. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BemHqUqcpI8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rSM3n9nsQI
