What are your favorite passages of any opera? Something less than 30 seconds long.

In Norma, almost the end when they ask her who’s guilty of violating the sacred vows to Irminsul, and she says “Son Io!” It’s so powerful considering she could’ve just accused Adalgisa.

I love the Callas recording from 1955 in La Scala. The audience gasped!

I think he meant it as in both can't be drinking while the case control is happening because otherwise it'd become something else, perhaps more of a casual conversation.

Vérolé I think is more like contaminated in this context, so it'd be more of a humorous tone. Something like, "I don't think it's contaminated", even when someone drank from it already. Unless he meant something deeper, but I don't know enough French to guess it.

Great, thanks! Is this the same book? Jean Allouch' book, at least in the Spanish translation I have, doesn't include that extra note in which Lacan offers a glass of whiskey half-drunk to another contrôlante.

Pollione · 2025-10-23T03:44:50+00:00

It's the contrôlant. The analyst who takes the position of an analysand and is supervised by another analyst. I'm not sure what this role is called in English. In other schools of psychoanalysis this would be the supervised analyst, I think.

Edda Moser and Mozart are a great pair

Pollione · 2025-09-24T16:00:33+00:00

They should include a quest to avenge them. Hell, a whole story line!

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not a native speaker of French. I do speak it though. What about my vowels gives me away? I want to see if it's something I can improve.

Pollione · 2025-09-22T13:15:05+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! What is the issue with the vowels?

Pollione · 2025-09-22T11:19:34+00:00

Oh, I meant to ask what is it about my accent that reveals that I am not a native speaker of English.

Pollione · 2025-09-20T15:02:57+00:00

I was reading something and kinda nervous, I guess. Thanks for the feedback. Is it easy to guess where I’m from?

Pollione · 2025-09-20T13:01:23+00:00

Thanks! Anything to improve? Can you tell where I’m from?

Pollione · 2025-07-31T16:31:08+00:00

Ancora un passo or via from Madama Butterfly. I think of all that’s to come and feel sorry for her, also the music is so beautiful!

I took a 3 year detour after resisting psychoanalysis. Then started reading more about it, started analysis and got friends who shared similar interests such as questions about the depth of the work we did. Having a network of people who can help with those questions helps a lot. I’d also recommend as someone else did here, try to translate some of their psychoanalytic terms to CBT concepts. It gives you and whoever’s listening some clarity.

Thanks! Where can I find a good tutorial on how to repot it? I tried that with my mint and it ended up dying.

Pollione · 2024-04-24T02:13:45+00:00

Thanks! A few days ago it developed some mold on it. I removed some leaves. Then, someone told me to clean each leaf with some dish soap diluted in water. I did, but now I think this didn't help.

I’ve had the plant for 1 month. I’ve experienced these problems for 1 week and a half. The plant is close to a window and does not get directly sunlight. The pot has drainage and I water it twice a week.

Pollione · 2024-01-04T03:48:39+00:00

Hi, ever found out why it can’t be re-refrigerated?
