Whats the deal with shakespeare "intellectuals" trying to convince everyone every single line in every single play is actually a completely retarded sexual based pun, is this some kind of psyop?
>>24949933not every line but about 60% of it, as we are always taught, the poor sat closest to the stage, , they are rowdy and they like base humor so many lines must be dropped for them, this is known, it is not some conspiracy against you, sorry

>>24949933I feel like their is a certain type of people who freak out once they find what something "trully is" to be survertrd and changed , so they want to talk about how shakespeare now all has to do with his humor , that is all their is to him , because this people are fundamentally puritans , they just work differently.

>If there is a danger, it lies in the Negro music and dancing that has been imported into Europe. This music has completely won over a whole section of the cultured population of Europe, to the point of real fanaticism. It is inconceivable that the incessant repetition of the Negroes’ physical gestures as they dance around their fetishes or that the constant sound of the syncopated rhythm of jazz bands should have no ideological effects.Was unc spittin fax here?
>>24950708I am ashamed to admit I like rap, but I listen to post-punk and classical music more
>>24950877>But Songs with a clear consistent rhythm existed all across the globe and all across human time. No, they didn't, unless you're excluding black Africans from your definition of human. Melody and so music developed outside of sub-Saharan Africa; the African negro didn't have music until the concept of melody was introduced to them. What they had was rhythm, which is an aspect of music and not music itself.
>>24951473There is in effect no such thing as simultaneous rhythms. No matter how different or how complex, they will eventually all collapse into a single cyclic pattern. It's just a question of how long the pattern is.

So at the end of the day, who deserved the Hugo more? Dune no doubt had a much bigger impact, but is there an argument that the literary merit of 'This Immortal' is stronger than Dune?
They're practically different genres, so it's mostly apples to oranges. I like This Immortal more; it's more fun and more formally inventive. Zelazny is clearly the better writer. But in retrospect, Dune was more influential, and on the basis of scope of concept, I can understand why some people would prefer it.
>is arguably the single most racist author in American history>marries a Jewish womanWhat did HP Lovecraft mean by this?
>>24946601racism is more nuanced and multi-faceted than you think. the founding fathers considered swedes swarthy. people were more interested in the differences in their immediate neighbours than people from far off lands in the east or south back then.
"Racism" is just having a healthy sense of pattern recognition.
The moral of the story here is that it is much better to be antisemitic than to be racist. If you have to choose between not trusting the blacks and not trusting the Jews, it is far wiser to pick the latter.

Shit thought I stumbled my way to /tv/ for a second there. Guise it was a movie, with action and meant as entertainment. Was a bit long, even for a lad who gladly will sit through movies. Essentially both sides of your views of the political spectrum were skewed. The xmas nazis, silly, patient, and boring in their muscle cars. The political terrorists, who pulled off an amazing feat at the beginning, (and their story should have ended there), eventually imploded as revolutionary groups tend to do. The system is too much for these groups to grow, like pressure at the edge of a bubble. And when we see Leo become a father and care 0 about the world/their mission, you see he's ready to grow. Nobody else grows. Beverly Hills hangs with younger revolutionaries, ends in her downfall. Lockjaw keeps desiring his past/but cannot reconcile with what his future goals demand he give up. The daughter is parentified, if I may, and is the only 'grown up.' Until the end when Leo and her embrace. The Sensei also was immature, drinking and driving, even though, monthly he was doing what the French 75 did one night. So yes, a FOIL between the left and right, with the intention of realizing both sides are all 'failures' in the eyes of society and so must battle each other in their own battleground in the background. Thus immaturely electing to be on the outside and forever battling society to hold their own identity, hence the title. Fools rush in but they're the only ones with guts do anything at all.

Are there any librarians or library assistants here? How did you get your job? I want to be a library assistant but Ive found it difficult to find a job.
>>24950059im kinda into the glorified social worker aspect desu its one of the appeals.
>>24949864My sister is one.
My mom ks one. She got in with a bachelor's degree in equine science. Without an MA you can only be a librarian for small-town libraries though
>>24949864I once I got a job as a library assistant in a call center. Didn't last for more than six months because I didn't fit in with anyone else. Basically you had to fulfill ALL of these categories.>must be a woman, if not must be gay or be able to be mistaken for gay>must be firmly left wing, if not you must be old and fulfill all the other categories>if you're black and have a legitimate disability you don't have to follow these rules
>>24952061This, except you also have to have a degree for some reason to sit there and handle books. I've been doing this all my life, why the fuck do I need an advanced degree to be a glorified store clerk?

>>24951773Here are a few bits i liked:"Beranger, by contrast, is utterly self-sufficient as a writer. This is why he has never served any party. He finds so much fulfillment in his own thoughts and feelings that the world can give nothing to him and take nothing from him." "An incident from our life is worth recording not because it is true, but because it meant something." "Error belongs to libraries, truth to the human mind. Books beget more books, but the study of living primordial laws is pleasing to the mind that can grasp the simple, disentangle the complex, and bring light into darkness." "The approach I adopted more than forty years ago is still valid: one is led through all the labyrinthine twists and turns of the comprehensible until one comes up against the incomprehensible - at which point, having learned a great deal, one can happily content oneself with that. None of your philosophers, ancient or modern, has managed to go any further." "The story of Napoleon shows us how dangerous it is to exalt oneself to the realm of the absolute, and to sacrifice everything to the pursuit of an idea." "we should not get hung up on one particular thing and try to turn it into the ultimate ideal. We must not think that Chinese literature is everything, or Serbian literature, or Calderon. or the Nibelungen; if we are looking for the ultimate ideal, then we need to go back everytime to the ancient Greeks, in whose works the finest human qualities are always represented. We must regard all the rest as just the product of its times, and take from it such good things we can find." I have at least a dozen more but ill stop there.
