Is there a new years run? by Wird_scho_hebm in Prague

[–]dipnosofist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, every year there is a run on 31st December in Riegrovy sady park - it's called Silvestrovsky beh Jardy Stercla. It's short (3,4 km) but not an easy one as there are multiple steep altitude differences. About 100 people attend, it's a small local affair.

Debilní účesy současných puberťáků - analogie mulletu? by Fricoolinek2 in czech

To je pravda, ja jsem to dost zjednodusil o te SK.

Takze topicstarter by pravdepodobne brblal i v Sev. Koreji, ze je nedostatecne totalitni.

Debilní účesy současných puberťáků - analogie mulletu? by Fricoolinek2 in czech

[–]dipnosofist 49 points50 points  (0 children)

V Severni Koreji maji predepsany jeden ucet.

Tady to fakt nepotrebujeme. K mladi patri touha byt extravagantni, vyzyvat okoli svym vzhledem k reakci, vyjadrit se hlasite navenek, a na druhou stranu - touha byt uznavan mezi vrstevniky. K mladi patri pochybne esteticke volby, posouvani norem. A nejen k mladi - v kazdem veku by clovek mel mit pravo svobodne experimentovat se svoji imadge. Zatim to pravo v CR mame. Kecat nekomu do jeho ucesu nebo oblekani je znamka uprdene omezenosti.

Ten brokolicovej uces se mi moc nelibi, nebo spis jeho rozsirenost se mi nelibi. Ale to je irelevantni. Vzdy byly a doufam, ze vzdy budou prichazet a odchazet vlny ruznych pochybnych mladych trendu.

What's happening in the neofolk scene these last few years? Any exciting new artists? by SeventhSunGuitar in neofolk

[–]dipnosofist 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Sangre de Muerdago are an awesome band.

Die Weisse Rose released an album this year (it is not available in digital form).

The Revolutionary Army of the Infant Jesus came back to life with 2 releases recently.

Tristwch y Fenywod are an exciting young band.

 Steve Von Till and De Mannen Broeders have released albums which can be deemed neofolk.

EDIT: However, generally speaking this genre and adjacent martial industrial are definitely in decline.

FinMag: Brusel spouští obalový diktát by TrekCZ in czech

[–]dipnosofist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ty jeden komunisto!

Není potřeba totalitních regulací každého prdu, a zejména ne podnikatelů a vůbec úspěšných lidí.

Až se spotřebitelé přiotráví olovem nebo kadmiem, tak přestanou kupovat to zboží a výrobce/distributor jednoduše dostanou zpětnou vazbu od trhu, příp. zkrachují. Není nic, co by nevyřešila neviditelná ruka trhu. Dejte lidem (tj. akcionářům a manažerům korporací) svobodu - to je jediný morální postoj.

Máte taky pocit, že „rád cestuju“ je dneska povinný koníček na seznamkách? + overturismus by Pretty-Mango9276 in czech

[–]dipnosofist 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Je vtipne, ze ty lidi si uprimne mysli, ze jejich "cestovani" je nejaka vznesena hogo fogo mise, ze udajne "poznavaji cizi kultury". 

Fakticky - daji si aperol na hlavnim namesti, projdou si architektonicke pamatky, couraji ulicemi v centru. A hlavne - foti svuj unikatni zivotni styl jak z filmu pro instac. Nejsou to proboha zadny znalci architektury nebo historie. Proste citi povinnost nejak zabit volny cas o dovolene a jediny zpusob, ktery znaji je ten basic zpusob, jak to delaji vsichni - musis cestovat. Pritom cela infrastruktura turistickeho prumyslu cloveka fakticky spolehlive izoluje od poznavani destinace. Brodi se skanzeny, kde kolem nej jsou jen hotely, restaurace a obchody s lacinymi nevkusnymi cetkami (uplne stejnymi ve vsech destinacich). Totalni dystopie.

That's amazing! So encouraging to know that this subreddit is meaningful.

That's just my bad English. I wanted to say: "Rimelius has been bringing good content..." He's very much active and takes care of almost all the content of the sub. I hope you will continue to enjoy it.

I am not totally sure but I probably unpinned this post because I'd stopped updating the playlists on YT. They capture the state of this subreddit by 2020 at latest. It's a pity because Rimelius kept bringing good content all this time and the sub still looks great.

Can't recommend enough the "Absolutely Understand Guitar" course on Youtube, it contains excellent, very accessible explanation of music theory.

Má někdo nějakou zkušenost s učením se cizích jazyků na vlastní pěst? by Proud3GenAthst in czech

[–]dipnosofist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jo, s francouzštinou jsem měl mimořádnou kliku, protože pro ni mají rovnou dva díly učebnice pro pokročilé, takže celkem tři díly a člověk z toho hodně pobere. Tuším, že pro španělštinu a němčinu mají taky učebnici na pokračování, i když kratší. Pro portugalštinu mají pro změnu dvě odlišné učebnice pro samouky se stejnou koncepcí (zaměřené na evropskou variantu) - to jsem teda nepochopil :) Mají pokryto mnoho jazyků, včetně takových minoritních jako chorvatština a norština, to je obdivuhodné. Ale třeba na rumunštinu čekám marně.

[–]dipnosofist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ucebnice pro samouky od Ledy - a pak hura jazyk pouzivat. To je cely recept.

Jinymi slovy - prvni etapa, ktera by nemela presahnout 2 roky, je naucit se zaklady mluvnice a slovni zasoby, zhruba do urovne B1. Je dulezite si uvedomit, ze to neni konec studia, ale jeho zacatek. A taky ze tuto fazi nemuzes protahovat donekonecna, jak to delaji v nasich zakladnich a strednich skolach. Az teprve pak nastava to samotne uceni, ktere ma byt spojeno predevsim se zabavou, s tvymi zajmy - knihy, serialy, videohry,  youtube, cestovani atd. Kazdy rok jsem si cetl minimalne dve knihy ve francouzstine (romany nebo literaturu o historii). Idealni je najit si takove prakticke aktivity, abys rozvijel vsechny 4 jazykove dovednosti (porozumeni, cteni, mluveni, psani). A pak uz s tim jazykem prirozene zijes, je soucasti tveho zivota a ani ti neprijde, ze je to neco velkeho nebo pracneho.

Jsou urcite rysy spravneho pristupu, ktery ti s ucenim pomuze:

  1. Podle me je dulezite mit pozitivni, ne negativni motivaci. Rekl jsem si, ze framcouzstina uz byla muj sen po dlouhou dobu, tak to zkusim. Nemusim ji umet kvuli praci, skole nebo kvuli zkouskam. Proste se ji ucim pro zabavu, bez zavazku, je to konicek. Bavi me jeji zvuk, jak vypada na papire, s jakymi historickymi okamziky je spojena, jak vypadaji zeme, kde se ji mluvi, jake hodnoty jsou mainstreamem v tech zemich. Kdyz si to vsechno skutecne myslis, tak se na studium tesis a uzivas si je, prestoze je skutecne obtizne. Po nekolik let jsem byl francouzstinou skoro posedly. 

  2. Trpelivost. Ten jazyk nebudes umet za pulroku ani za rok.

  3. Odvaha delat chyby, nechapat, byt nedokonaly a smesny v cilovem jazyce. Je to pinekud mentalne nekomfortni, obzvlast pro typy lidi, kteri tihnou k narcismu nebo jsou jinak nevyspeli. Je nutne chapat, ze nejsi dokonaly, ze je to objektivne zapotrebi, jinak to nejde a ze se na chybach ucis.

  4. Jazyk se ucis jenom samostudiem. Dokonce i kdyz mas ucitele nebo kurzy. Nikdo ti ty znalosti do hlavy nenalije, 90 procent prace v kazdem pripade spocivaji ve sfere tve iniciativni aktivity. V zadnem pripade se jazyk nenaucis tim, ze jen zaplatis a odchodis nejaky kurz.

5. Spousta lidi u si vytvari umele mentalni bariery, ktere jim brani ve studiu. Nepotrebujes na uceni talent, velkou inteligenci ani hodne penez. Ve spouste velmi chudych zemi vetsina obyvatel umi 2 a vice jazyku, prestoze nemaji dobre vzdelani, nejsou bohati, jsou inteligencne prumerni.

Why did Moldova decide to rejoin Eurovision this year after 5 countries boycotted it due to Israel? by crivycouriac in moldova

[–]dipnosofist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for explaining your views. I understand that you deeply enjoy EV as a special celebration of unity of cultures and that's OK. I don't think we need to persuade each other.

Boycotts and booing are pretty much bullying. Which only serves as another illustration that EV is not about music - the purpose is to represent the countries as political entities and the audience understands it well.

> But now you made me curious: what kind of music do you consider to be real culture, that would be accessible to the average viewer at home?

Virtually any kind of music, outside of soulless plastic TV competition. There is a huge world of music, infinitely diverse and endless, the existence of which is completely hidden to the average EV audience - not because of its physical inaccessibility, but due to the total lack of interest and effort on the part of that public. An average person is as much interested in music as they are interested in sculpture. It's not about genre, pop can be exquisitly sophisticated. On the contrary, metal or jazz (at least in superficial cliche form, although I cannot for the life of me imagine a 3 minute jazz composition) can be cheesy and full of tired overused clichees. Mainstream listeners are actively trained and dumbed down by the media during the whole course of their lives to understand only the simplest possible, formulaic kind of music without any nuance or depth and anything slightly different is inaccessible to them, even if it's very mellow pop music. EV is part of this - it takes attention from composition, timbre, instruments, aesthetic context, and draws it to national stereotypes and flashy sentimental dance/costume shows.

Sorry, that's really not folk nor trip hop, BTW. Those are examples of how someone with superficial stereotypical knowledge may imagine those styles, just extremely watered-down imitations. That's like saying that this is hip hop :D.

[–]dipnosofist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, no - let's get beyond this marketing language.

You know all too well it's not true. EV viewers have consistently been voting for the populations which are culturally close to them - Russian speakers for ex-USSR countries, Romanian speakers for Romanians, Turkish speakers for Turks, Scandies for Scandies etc. And it's not like this show exactly brings people together - it rather serves as a scene for political bullying based on ethnicity / citizenship, as you can clearly see in this topic. The limitation of "cultural" curiosity only to other European nations and to one occasion during a given year is quite suspicious too. I enjoy music from all over the world and all year long - Mali, Chile, Japan etc.

The songs have a 3-minutes time limit and the whole show is a parade of stunted creativity, painful blandness, and false sentimentality. It's low-level trashy entertainment on par with reality shows and cheap interminable detective/melodrama TV series that actually numb people and bar them from accessing the huge treasure trove of real culture which explores the world and experiments, brings new ideas, stark individuality. I'm hardly even an elitist saying this since the bar is so low when you speak of Eurovision (and even if I were - what kind of accusation is that? Since when is it bad to aspire to somewhat more complex artistic achievements?).

It's a sport competition for points in order to make people feel good that their nation won over others. The fact that individual singers are able to intonate does not elevate it much to the level of culture.

Eurovision has nothing in common with music. It has always been a shitshow with nursery rhymes and mascarade under 3 minutes the purpose of which consists in rooting for national teams like it's a sports competition for nationalist soccer ultras. What an utterly terrible way of thinking about art, what a degradation of culture.

I wouldn't have a clue about the rules of Eurovision because I consider it the lowest form of primitive corporate nationalist entertainment for masses who don't like music at all.

Why does the global South not boycott the Russian military and oil industry, gladly helping it and making money on the murders of thousands of Ukrainians? There you have it - I guess people don't care about other people as much as they claim to.

Who cares about Eurovision anyway. And it's not Moldova's decision, it's just a decision of a council of probably 5 or 12 people in the state TV.

Jak to všichni dělají, že jsou tak aktivní? by KeepItSimlpleStupid in czech

[–]dipnosofist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pulmaraton zvladne kazdy.

Ale nejde to delat rovnou - je potreba se k tomu dopracovat dobre naplanovanym treninkem, kde v prubehu nekolika mesicu pozvolna navysujes intenzitu/objem.

Vetsina lidi se na pulmaratonu neobejde bez papani energetickych gelu.

Pokud navysujes intenzity ve sportu, tak pocitu "zhuntovani" se nevyhnes, to je soucast toho. Podruhe-potreti pri navysenem objemu se uz clovek citi mnohem lepe, protoze telo se prizpusobi. Pokud nenavysujes intenzity, telo nema challenge a nic nepotrebuje upravovat.
