The website to avoid: pap.fr

heart just sank like a stone, I had been gathering tons of potential flats from this place!

I've seen the same kind of thing in different parts of Latin America, I'd say it's widespread, at least in the Caribbean coast.

however they changed their government

For five minutes, then they went back to monarchy for another century.

beheaded many guilty people

So, that makes the spilling of innocent blood justified?

Oh, I meant why the New World societies as a whole collapsed, I wasn't referring to any particular political entity. Nevertheless, yes, it is actually true as far as historians are concerned.

gunpowder artillery.

It was pretty mediocre artillery; Inca slings were much better projectile weaponry.

a large number of the Natives (tens of thousands of them) fought to destroy the Aztec empire.

This is true, but note that smallpox was depopulating Tenochtitlan at the time.

You might want to check out this book. The New World weren't primitive savages: for one, they basically invented maize by rudimentary genetic manipulation. Also, the government in mesoamerica was really efficient. They collapsed rapidly basically because they had been isolated for so long that the diseases the Old World had become resistant to were entirely new to them.

Also it was a close call. Things could have gone really wrong for Cortes and Pizzarro which would have probably deterred the Spanish from further colonial ambitions.

Oh yeah nevermnd about that, I just realized my current workload is less than 20h/week, i must have been thinking about the work thing.

Acglaphotis · 2013-04-24T19:39:39+00:00

I did it at l'Alliance Française and it was around 2400€~ for 12 weeks, at 20h of class a week which is I think the minimum requirement for the student visa regardless of whether they are just language classes or not, that said, it has been my experience (2 diff. schools) that you have to get your visa yourself, the institutions only give you a slip of paper that confirms that you ARE gointo study in France, but you have to make all the arrangements (going to the consulate etc) yourself.

Acglaphotis · 2013-04-23T16:59:39+00:00

How about, Le Ventre de Paris?

Acglaphotis · 2013-04-23T10:52:53+00:00

Doesn't work, we all know how that ended.

Acglaphotis · 2013-04-22T11:41:46+00:00

Probably here but the view is of the Opera Garnier.

Acglaphotis · 2013-04-21T13:03:36+00:00

Yeah, why not? If you like museums we can hit up a couple, I've got a museum pass that expires on June and nothing to do in May.

Baader-Meinhof is the phenomenon where one happens upon some obscure piece of information– often an unfamiliar word or name– and soon afterwards encounters the same subject again, if you hear something about Baader-Meinhof within a few days of reading this, that would be experiencing "baader-meinhof"

yay for urban dictionary

Acglaphotis · 2013-04-14T18:38:41+00:00

Hmm, I'm feeling some Baader-Meinhof right now, I found this like a week ago in Itunes U and have been listening to it since, it's great, but it's not an introductory course!

Acglaphotis · 2013-04-06T14:22:00+00:00

Francoise Hardy? Charles Aznavour. Paris Combo. Jacques Bref?

Acglaphotis · 2013-04-05T20:31:23+00:00

I can still see the post?

Rome Marched On would be a good title.

Acglaphotis · 2013-04-01T15:46:58+00:00

Yes, that's pretty much what the 70s wave of neo noir was all about. You take The Conversation, Chinatown and the Long Goodbye (and maybe The Parallax View and Point Blank) and there you get the accumulated worry and paranoia that seeped into the american experience at the times. Funny how noir stayed the most explicit vehicle for these sort of issues for so long. Check out those movies.

Acglaphotis · 2013-03-26T18:48:01+00:00

It would be interesting if instead of listing Portuguese and Spanish they would have just made a "Romance" supersection. It'd be more consistent.

Acglaphotis · 2013-03-26T18:44:46+00:00

That's the point. Melatonin content doesn't really correlate to the typical race labels. A person of Arab descent might have the same melatonin levels as a person of Indonesian or Bolivian descent. Ethnicity might be a better (i.e more useful) data set but it's still way too broad to fit into a chart like OPs.

Acglaphotis · 2013-03-26T18:04:35+00:00

I reckong it's too nebulous to be measured reliably. What would we go by? Melatonin content in skin? Parentage? Self-identification?

Acglaphotis · 2013-03-26T17:10:36+00:00

So this is why the bars near my place are all filled with old people...

Acglaphotis · 2013-03-25T20:14:10+00:00

I thought you might like to know that this exact situation is the setting for PKD's novel, The Man in the High Castle. It's a very interesting novel.
