The default backdrop of Kult is modern-day real-life larger cities; players taking the roles of contemporary multi-genre protagonists, such as private investigators and femme fatales, vigilantes and drug dealers, artists and journalists, or secret agents and mad scientists. In the game, however, all this and the entire world we see, is an "illusion" held together by a monotheistic belief which is unravelling to reveal a darker backdrop where nightmarish monsters lurk, called "reality" in the game.Sounds like something wizards would understand and like to play, that rpg group on /hob/ should do a session of this on twitch or something so we could watch it.

Robert Surcouf (12 December 1773 – 8 July 1827) was a French privateer who operated in the Indian Ocean between 1789 and 1801, and again from 1807 to 1808, capturing over 40 prizes. He later amassed a large fortune as a ship-owner, from privateering, commerce,[1] and illegal slave trade,[2] and as a landowner.[3]
When a British captive officer taunted Surcouf with the words "You French fight for money while we fight for honour", Surcouf replied "Each of us fights for what he lacks most".

>Ridicule is a 1996 French period drama film directed by Patrice Leconte and starring Charles Berling, Jean Rochefort, Fanny Ardant and Judith Godrèche. Set in the 18th century at the decadent court of Versailles, where social status can rise and fall based on one's ability to mete out witty insults and avoid ridicule oneself, the film's plot examines the social injustices of late 18th-century France, in showing the corruption and callousness of the aristocrats.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ridicule_(film) No.171558

idk I kinda have a "capitalist" reaction to this story. In that those who place the most value in X, will do the most to care for X.
So in her case she got a lot of attention from linguists and scientists as a "natural experiment" in child-development
and so if she had remained in their hands, they probably would have given a lot of priority to her
but instead she went with her mom, foster homes and institutions. where she was just another problem child
so it seems like it would have been better for both science and her well-being if she had remained a "science experiment". idk maybe the wiki article is just biased in that direction

>>178282Hey, I was reading the exact same article a couple weeks ago. I got fascinated by the Great Lakes canal system, seawaymax ships, ships lost to storms in the Great Lakes, that kind of thing. I find it interesting how many ships in the Lakes are so big that that's all the area they'll ever traverse–they're too big to fit through the canals. Or the ships that are just big enough to go intracanal, but too big to be seawaymax. It surprises me that there's that much intrashipping on the lakes. If you look at shipping trackers, it seems like the most active is a ferry that takes you straight across Superior. I was also reading a bunch of Army Corps of Engineers studies arguing AGAINST expanding the canals, which I found interesting. I think it's the first time I've ever seen a government report say, "Actually, more money on this might not be the wisest." I wonder how lake freight traffic around the lakes compares with rail freight traffic on a yearly basis.

historically a pro-natalistic measure then it gives it far more legitimacy as a tenable measure then it really deserves to be.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UranusI got rather interested in reading Wikipedia articles on rather basic stuff on other planets in the solar system. Mainly because of the music thread about how weird the ambient EM sounds from Jupiter/Saturn are. I stopped on Uranus for a while because:
1 - Just how completely featureless its surface is. Look at the attached picture. Nothing. Absolutely NOTHING. That's an enormous amount of surface area, and not a single feature. That just seems rather unbelievable. Jupiter has its pale red dot. Saturn has hexgonal poles. Neptune has its own dot and storm. Uranus has its axial tilt and weird rings, sure, but on the surface? Nothing.
2 - The surface gravity is lower than Earths, but the rest of the article keeps saying there's no surface, but does keep saying there's ice/an ocean. I'm curious about whether it's possible to send a probe in.
3 - There's a lot of hints that Uranus is crazy old compared to the rest of the planets. It's like it gives the allure that "It was made by the ancient ones" or something.
4 - The EM field and axial tilt is wack.
It's name is unfortunate, however. It feels like you can't really have any serious discussions about it just because of its name.

>>178762>Just how completely featureless its surface is. Look at the attached picture. Nothing. Absolutely NOTHING. That's an enormous amount of surface area, and not a single feature.You can see the banding but it's only visible in infrared. I guess whatever gas it is diffuses a lot of visible light. Apparently because one hemisphere is more consistently lit the methane in circulation in that hemisphere is energized enough to rise high in the atmosphere, and that's what causes the hazing visible to our eyes.
The axial tilt produces unusual weather, because our understanding of seasonal weather involves the Sun energizing both hemispheres, which only occurs in parts of Uranus' orbit. The other problem is a seasonal year there lasts 84 years, so we've only really been observing the atmosphere for a single Uranian year.

I honestly can't believe these exist. This reminds me of a few years ago when someone finally convinced me that narwhals actually exist. I mean, in my defense, when I heard about narwhals for the first time it was after I heard about unicorns, so I was immediately so skeptical that I didn't believe that they existed.

This move drew fire from former German chancellor Gerhard Schröder.why did they remove the sausage product form the factory menu? imagine working there for 20 years eating and enjoying your car sausage to have some newfag come in and remove it.

>>184528>They are like a secular parody of religious holy daysThat's exactly what they are. The saddest thing is that even the long-established non-secular holidays have been co-opted and mutated into just more excuses for mindless consumerism. Everything today feels so fake, inauthentic and insincere today. I hate it.
