>>7607 You're right that meat was banned or heavily restricted during the Edo period, but the strictest ban was done under the fifth Tokugawa shogun, so towards the end of Banzan's life.

Ah, so deska.

>>7607 >>7609 >>7610 I've spent literally over 4 years watching NHK World and Japanology + with Peter Barakan and I had no clue in the world that this was the case. You could say that I'm bad at memorizing stuff, or that it was mentioned in some way and I am stupid, but instead, I'm blaming Japan and the Japanese media for this. NHK specifically. I hate you, NHK World, and I will not forgive you for making me seem stupid around my assburger KC tier friends.

>>7613 If you want to improve your Japanese history autism street cred, I recommend Supernova in the East by Dan Carlin. The first one or two parts are the pre-war history of Japan, and the later ones are mainly about japans involvement in the ww2. https://www.dancarlin.com/product/hardcore-history-62-supernova-in-the-east-i/ https://www.dancarlin.com/product/hardcore-history-63-supernova-in-the-east-ii/ https://www.dancarlin.com/product/hardcore-history-64-supernova-in-the-east-iii/ https://www.dancarlin.com/product/hardcore-history-65-supernova-in-the-east-iv/ https://www.dancarlin.com/product/hardcore-history-66-supernova-in-the-east-v/ https://www.dancarlin.com/product/hardcore-history-67-supernova-in-the-east-vi/

>I don't understand it. What lead him to enlightenment? Purpose of koan is not getting of correct answer. Its the process.

>>7378 No, but I ought to.

I couldn’t stop smiling while reading this and I think that’s all the praise it needs.

>>7349 No, they're members of the Kurfürstl. Sächsische Kriegsknechte, a late 1400's living history/reenactment group.

Gertrud was the last novel by Hesse that I hadn’t yet read. It’s rather similar to another early novel like Roßhalde than to his later novels. I feel his later great novels which are the most popular are always focused on one character, the protagonist, the alter ego of Hesse. Sure, in Gertrud that’s the case as well in a sense, but the psychology of other characters in addition to the protagonist is more pronounced I‘d say. Yet again it‘s the story of an artist, a composer this time, that was brought to paper. I felt that aspect came a bit too short in comparison to the psychological aspect, but still not a bad book. Not my favorite Hesse though.

>>7378 Have you ever read this book by Tolstoy‘s wife and if so, is it worth reading? It seems to have been written in response to the Kreutzersonata, but this time from the perspective of a woman.

>>6573 >I have been cooking tea for my sisters pretty much every night. That’s nice of you, you’re a good person Bernd. >There are a bunch of places here I want to try one of them is a Texan Rib place. I hope one day you can come over here to Texas the ribs are very delicious. Maybe that day will be one that you will remember tomorrow.

Lowering attentionspan for years, thats the result i suppose.

>>7130 >So back in 2004, we found the average attention span on any screen to be two and a half minutes on average. Throughout the years it became shorter. So around 2012 we found it to be 75 seconds. [...] And then in the last five, six years, we found it to average about 47 seconds, and others have replicated this result within a few seconds. source: https://www.apa.org/news/podcasts/speaking-of-psychology/attention-spans (February 2023)

>>7130 That’s how you live fast therefore, you expedience more, therefore, you get more out of life.

>>7295 What u and prob society call "living fast" ist nothing more than the dissolvement of the "idle-drive". Without that, you can "burn" through people, eventually kill them off, with earlier heartattacks, and call it as above.

>>7576 What's the difference between them and terrorists? They hoard weapons to kill people in order to push their own political agenda. That's pretty much the definition of terrorist. Personally, I don't care if I get killed because they don't believe in the state, because they think a millennia-old text should be the law, or if they want to turn my country into a soviet republic. I also don't care if the guy shooting me is 70 or 17. I just don't want to get shot.

Here they're called Staatsverweigerer (State-Deniers). Activities include not paying bills, walking around with cowbells drinking discount beer and commenting anonymously on Nau.ch

>>7612 You forgot reacting to 20min comments.

And Federweißer

>>7588 Dubs of truth. Did the season already start? If so, I'm going to Germany to get some of that.

>>7591 They have been selling it the whole month already

>>7592 Shit, I should've come sooner. Take my forex, German supermarkets!

I have ginger beer and Baileys sometimes but I don't really like any other kind fo alcohol, it all tastes disgusting.

>>7593 I don't have a car either by the way, I'm just saying that 50k net worth doesn't make you into an oligarch. It puts you slightly above the median in Switzerland, and that's only if you ignore personal retirement funds (2nd and 3rd pillar).

>>7597 I said minimum, you probably have multiple hundred k

>>7598 I don't. If I count everything I own, then you're right with your estimation of 50-100k. Most of it is my retirement savings though.

I never tip and if tip is demanded of me I even make this an issue, I make a scene.

>>7601 That's one of the most Jewish things I read today, you're not looking good there being a stingy bastard

>>7559 You can book high profile escorts who will be your gf for one day

I'm not sure if this is related but I've always thought to myself whenever I saw women with children out and about that it is basically pretty much just saying that you have had sex and that you are a sex haver, and for a long time, I actually was a little bothered by it. But now I'm realizing that every single person on earth, even if they aren't babies, come from people that have had sex in the past. Every single person on this world is a consequence of people having sex. Billions of people? Sex. And then I'm told that sex isn't everything and that it doesn't matter, it's just a lie sold to you by people that have sex to make you cope with not having sex. Women saying that men don't want anything other than sex are stupid, of course we want sex, everyone has sex, having sex is normal. Anyway, that's my thought of the day.

>>7582 The majority is always wrong. Remain pure, remain sexless, Bernd. That's how you actually become happy and reach inner peace. Those guys that chase pussy after pussy aren't happy, they're slaves of desire.

>>7561 In most countries soliciting sex from prostitutes isn't even legal. Now imagine disabled dude trying to hire an escort.

>>7600 In Germany it's legal (sadly)

>>7541 I have no problem with right-wings and radicals but they shouldn't shit their opinion in every thread they visit and reeeeeee when someone is a lefty. I'm pretty right-wing myself but I don't have the urge to convince someone and it's just annoying.

>>7572 Interestingly this board doesn't have a /pol/ board, so where does BO expect Bernds to talk about politics if not on /int/?

>>7583 you can talk about politics on /int/. Just try to not turn it into kohl cancer like spouting shizo, orcs, hohols, NATO-shill and other slurs. sames for /b/. if it turns into it thread will go to /rvss/.

>>7584 I would prefer it if there were no political discussion on /int/, but without a /pol/ board that's not possible

>>7586 Seconded.

>>7566 5. for le bick Arms and shiiit.

>>7567 How many times a day do you pray?

>>7568 mostly sundays, u?

>>7569 If you eat more often than you pray, you’re doing something wrong

>>7570 u sound brown. if so, ill deport u very soon.

>>7510 Me neither. Must be from some obscure metal genres, like cheerleading metal or ass rimming metal

Alestorm is the only metal band I listen too but I don't know what their names are.

>>7510 I think it's Guitarists of Ozzy Osbourne, Pantera, Metallica and Death

>>7503 Schuldiners solos are just typical technic death metal, a lot of tapping, shredding etc, which is boring and present in like thousands of other bands. Meanwhile style of Dime was constantly evolving so you cant really say that any of his solos sounds the same. He was extremely innovative. Playing guitar is not about who taps strings faster but about who can create unique emotions. Dimebag was basically a genius. I listened to like a million metal bands in my life but Pantera would be always on the top for me.

>>7545 >Schuldiners solos are just typical technic death metal I remembered that panterafags are annoying, but I didn't expect to see one in 2025 on KC.
