/int/ - International

I could probably spend all day here, but this isn’t my board.

What's the best and easiest way to learn German for free? I'm a Brazilian, and I can't get used to those big words such as "Nahrungsmittelunverträglichkeit" ("food intolerance") when listening to people speaking the language.

Book thread. What is Bernd reading? This is the first book I've tried to read in Spanish, following a pensive young man in Madrid in the years before the Spanish-American War. I don't understand 100% but it's still enjoyable. Lots of relatable bildungsruminations. Baroja is a good writer and I like exploring fin de siecle Madrid.

Picking up where we left off. >>225 I've obviously sung endless praises for the album Surrender, so there's no need to retread what's already been covered. Maggie Rogers's early work merits a closer look, especially The Echo, which she wrote and recorded as a high schooler. The album is standard Folk music, with its strength lying in the lyrics; rough around the edges and struggling to discover her strengths. The standout track is the closing tune, "Satellite," tastefully arranged with a piano, violin, and trumpet. Maggie croons about longing for a moment of reprieve without indulging in maudlin sentimentality. "Embers", "Wolves" and "Deep in the Earth" are also very worthy: https://maggierogers.bandcamp.com/album/the-echo Blood Ballet continues where The Echo left off. While a little more consistent, the album lacks a strong emotional centerpiece like "Satellite" which leaves me yearning for more. That said, it still features great tunes like "Resonant Body", "James", "Drift", "Little Joys", "Anybody" and, of course, the highlight "Symmetry": https://maggierogers.bandcamp.com/album/blood-ballet Finally, we have her previously unreleased Shoegaze EP that appeared on Notes from the Archive: Recordings 2011-2016. According to her commentary, the end of a two-year-long relationship inspired "Together" and likely "One More Afternoon". She still yearned to be together with her man while he chased his dreams beyond the Rockies. Thoroughly emotional and utterly engaging. Unfortunately, much of these intense emotions would be somewhat flattened on the major label debut Heard It in a Past Life and first EP Now That the Light Is Fading. Despite strong tracks like "Light On", "Fallingwater", and "Dog Years", the album suffers from sterile production values and underwhelming instrumentation. Honey, I know you've been shaking Sick and awaiting vacation But I could be your heron blue sky I could be your white night lullaby Wrap me in celadon and gold Wrap me in celadon and gold If you want me Would you call me? Would you call me? If you want me And maybe I'll wait for a cold day Shiver in sheets until you say Through your silent heat "Won't you pilot me?" Ooh, ooh If you want me Would you call me? If you want me, oh If you want me Would you call me? Would you call me? If you want me If you want me Would you call me? If you want - I was losing you in greys and blues A winter sky, I never Want to know the risk Inconsequential views, I never knew Could play that part when I was Walking through the park And I Would paint the clouds away If I could I would Take it slow walking home Remind you all that we could be Together Holding hands while marching bands sing Loud choruses of the future Together And all that's good and fine But, darling, I'm still terrified That you'll choose Los Angeles over me I'm staring at my toes If only I could make them go where'd I'd be Happy And you say That you'd never stay Wait, we could Take it slow walking home Remind you all that we could be Together Holding hands while marching bands sing Loud choruses of the future Together Together Together - [i]I never told you 'bout the green in your eyes Watching you sleep through 2008 skies But it's over Maybe some other time We always said we'd meet up in the city Tell of our lives since that virgin kiss Oh, such a long while ago in my mind First love, gone too soon I wish that I could Sit with you For one more afternoon First love, gone too fast I think of you like we were last Alive, and you're in love, and in the side One more afternoon One more afternoon One more One more One more Maybe in ten years I'll think about now And I'll learn that you're always with me somehow Always in my mind First love, gone too soon I wish that I could sit with you For one more afternoon First love, gone too fast I think of you like we were last Alive, and you're in love Alive, and you

Hard sciences is easier than humanities because it deals only with objectivity. Meanwhile humanities deal with objectivity and subjectivity, and each subjectivity is unique, so the difficulty quickly balloons. Also, maths is the most objective form of knowledge but it's also entirely immaterial. Explain that. Is objectivity always material and subjectivity always immaterial?

What does KC think of Nasha town?

I couldn't find the New York election thread, it probably went past page 10. Still, I found this funny and wanted to share. Enjoy.

Who is the kind of man who wears boots like this? Would you really wear a 450 USD black leather clown square topped boots to walk through snow and rain?

how is it land used to be free here but now fat dudes own all of it? squatters? more like homesteaders.

Dear Bernds, Ernsts, Bernst and other friends we don't know yet - in a few days it's happening: Ernstchan will be laid to rest. For background and condolences, please visit Ernstchan's /meta/ board. Here now we want to do a bit of planning, so there won't be total chaos when everyone is streaming and nobody listening. This means: 3rd of October from 0800 UTC on there will be PARTAY. How long it will last is up to you. As long as someone will stream. But for now we don't have a plan, and Bernd does not feel like making a proper running order or schedule. So we will do the following: EVERY STREAMER PLEASE ANNOUNCES THEIR STREAM(S) ON THE CALENDAR. PLEASE CHECK WHAT SLOT IS ALREADY TAKEN. FIRST COME FIRST SERVE. In case any further coordination should be necessary (such as someone needs a spot very dearly because of RL stuff (shame on you!)), you can use this thread. Used to work with the EC festivals at least. So, let's have a great festival, Radio Free Krautchan!
