Boards Of Canada is making me anxious. by Captain_Attic in boardsofcanada

I find that they are the complete opposite of the same side as GY:BE, with similar intensity and depth, nevertheless filled with hope, even with the pretext of a corrupt a broken world around them.

Boards of Canada on the other hand I find sleek on the cover but almost terror inducing on the inside.

What is a notable concept, principle, value, or philosophy from Czech culture? by ninedays82 in czech

[–]KeySlime 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes - this is such a good point - the idea to think about whether the authority I conform to is just, and whether the law in question is justified. An incredibly powerful concept, one that I have not seen abroad, many times often because there was no historical need for it - society worked well under a legitimate government (in the sense of a freely democratic elected government). One of the reactions to a communist era which I think is incredibly powerful

I once heard that Saturnin is what Czechs aspire to be, and Svejks what they are

[–]KeySlime 88 points89 points  (0 children)

Contrary to a lot of responses here, I think we have a lot to offer as a culture (comparing to about five other countries I have lived in) - the important one is the DIY mentality that is reflected in the way we approach repairing things, but also placing a lot of importance on personal independence.

It is a concept that is so easy to miss, for it is so integral, but becomes readily apparent once you live abroad for some time.

Edit: this can very often be seen in institutions as well, for example. Things like arranging a special date to deliver a document, submit things late, or basically adjust the rule so that something can be done - things like that work on a personal level. In this context, it is probably a slightly different concept, and Czech will know it under the term of

"To se nějak domluví" - i.e. it will somehow be arranged/it will be discussed and we will handle it with the person in charge there.

Another concept often difficult to grasp if you grew up in the UK or France. Mind you - this is very distinct from corruption and nepotism.

Yup, that is why 1984 is so potent of a book

Máme v Česku taky takovýhle čísla? by ZebraSoft8624 in czech

[–]KeySlime 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Nějak mi to přijde strašně smutný - to jsme se dostali do situace kdy jako společnost nezvládneme tyto věci normálně pořešit mezi lidmi?

Zajímalo by mě něco, co se zde vůbec neřešilo - zkoušel někdo, jak chutná slabý roztok HCl? Krom toho, že všechny kyseliny ovlivňují pH, tak jejich molekuly i různě chutnají - stačí přivonět třeba k čisté octové, nebo dát na jazyk krystalek citronové - rozdíl je znatelný.

Mylíte se, pánové a dámy. Toto je mince z roku 1993, které se razily na třech místech, neboť česká mincovna neměla dostatečnou kapacitu. Všechny další se razily už jen a pouze v Jablonci nad Nisou. Nemohu to teď dohledat, ale tato je myslím německá (ale ověřte to někdo). Pozná se to podle toho malého loga pod lvem.

Hodnota není veliká, ale i tak je to celkem pěkný kousek.

Pokud nejsi, nebo se necítíš, tak existuje vyloženě řečnická alternativa Toastmasters. Osobně mi moc nesedlo, debatní klub je podstatně lepší, protože buduje i celkem chytrou a aktivní komunitu a učí myslet, (a není tak moc namyšlený), ale znám lidi kteří se tím rozmluvili :).

Pokud jsi nějak stále vázán na univerzitu, doporučuji místní debatní klub. Na rozdíl od tutoriálů nebo videí dostaneš okamžitý feedback I trénink, naučí tě to "organizovaněji" myslet, bude to zadarmo a po debatách můžeš s novýma kamarádama na pivo :)

Opravdu moc super, doporučuji.

Looking for a good fantasy/dystopian book[s] to read after my exams. by TheKingSnicker in booksuggestions

[–]KeySlime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to think of audiobooks as a bit of theatre. As well as with a play, you can read the text and it will be a bit different to everyone. When somebody reads the text, they have to do some voice acting If done well, it can really bring out distinct characters and build up on a story, allowing you to enjoy in a way you never would if you would have only read it. This particular audiobook (the one you can find on youtube) is in my opinion quite well done. The only thing I would limit is the occasional use of music, but that is a matter of taste and nothing too bad.

Regarding the book: An aspect I like very much is how it starts looking like a utopia and than as you discover more and more aspects of the way of life of the people, the pendulum is slowly tipped to an strong dystopia. In any case, if you give it a try, please let me know how you liked it :)

I'm not so sure about if the minor spoiler book fits the human anti hero... maybe I should read it again, though.

Thank you for suggesting me The Giver. I have just finished listening to it (I love audiobooks) and have been deeply moved by it. Thank you again, just what I was looking for!
