Is there any psychological/historic/memetic/magical mention of recurring dreams where things are happening in near darkness? Like just enough to see your hands in front of your face.
I'm asking because this is by far the most recurring element in my dreams.

Dreams don't mean anything, they're just your brain trying to make sense of the random static your brainstem gives out during sleep.
The darkness is that of Kek's final chaos which will come to rest over all
>>1465632
Your reply doesn't mean anything, it's just my brain trying to make sense of the random squiggles my optic nerve perceives during waking hours.
Neither does mine, by the way.
Can somebody explain the context behind this picture?

>Pfc. Abraham Mirmelstein of Newport News, Virginia, holds the Holy Scroll as Capt. Manuel M. Poliakoff, and Cpl. Martin Willen, of Baltimore, Maryland, conduct services in Schloss Rheydt, former residence of Dr. Joseph Paul Goebbels, Nazi propaganda minister, in Münchengladbach, Germany on March 18, 1945. They were the first Jewish services held east of the Rur River and were offered in memory of soldiers of the faith who were lost by the 29th Division, U.S. 9th Army.

How so?
I have a question about Japanese history. I bought recently Shogun 2 and was kinda confused . How did the politics worked back then?
Basically they have the emperor who is like the nobility and the clans dont fight to be the emperor but they fight to be the shogun instead? Also clans are like bloodlines of nobility i suppose who fight to be the next shogun? But what does the shogun exacly do and also why no one like tried to kill the emperor and get japan for himself? o.O . The game really dont explains things like this and im kinda interested in that stuff now.
>>1465444
Emperor was a puppet from the 1200's up to the late 1800's (roughly). The emperor had the right to look cool and have luxury stuff, religious duties and that's it. The shogun was the military leader at first, and quickly the actual leader in that time period. Of course, it didn't go smoothly, some emperors tried to rebel, it didn't really worked. Some clans try to take over the shogunate to replace it with a shogunate of their own. During the late 15th century, all of the 16th century, a vast war of clans was raging because there was no actual leader and plenty of big heads of clans (Takeda, Hojo, Oda, Date, Shimazu, Uesugi, all of those were shogun material for instance). You don't get to "be the next shogun", you kill all the shogun's family and "heh you're the next shogun now", it wasn't an election.
Clans are like very high nobilities, then they have lesser clans as vassals.
>>1465502
Oh thanks for the explanation.
Some more questions: What happened /would happen if the emperor dies and no son was aviable(he emperor had none or was just too young?) . Also why didnt the shogun just kill off every single clan. I mean how can new clans form in the first place? Can anyone make a clan who has some land?
>>1465444
Shogun started off as the commander-in-chief in the campaigns to conquer the whole mainland Japan generally against the northern natives
Eventually they basically usurped the power from the emperor and became de-facto emperors, they never called themselves that of course or tried to depose the imperial family because the imperial family was "sacred" and descendant from gods etc, that shit wouldn't have flied, it would have been open invitation to anarchy
Several times you'd have civil wars waged in the name of the puppet emperors between for example the Fujiwara regents, Minamoto and Taira in the Genpei war
Minamoto emerge victorious and become the next brand of de-facto rulers
The Ashikaga, a branch family, follow and some centuries later they've become so weak that you have several warlords fighting each other all over Japan and essentially take over the Ashikaga as their regents
The whole Sengoku shit happens when two clans support different Ashikaga heirs for Shogun and plunge Japan into a giant civil war that ostensibly lasts for centuries. In the end Hideyoshi ends up as the kampaku, de facto ruler of Japan as the regent for the Ashikaga who are already the shogun (regents for the emperor)
I know /his/ isn't for homework, but Im writing an essay on heroism, and wanted to know if I missed anything
Classical: Odyssey, Aenied, The Republic, Nicomachean Ethics, Meditations.
Medieval: Song of Roland, Parzival, Son Quixote, The Prince.
Enlightenment/Romantic: Byronic Poems, Eugene Onigen (Pushkin) Faust, Parsifal
Modern: Ghandi, Martian Luther King, Superheros
>>1465368
Well, Don Quixote is not Medieval to begin with.
A fuckload.

>Medieval: Song of Roland, Parzival, Son Quixote, The Prince.
The cantar del mio Cid is probably the most important heroic poem in Spanish.
Math describes the universe. Math is extremely deterministic. Therefore the universe is extremely deterministic.

No.

All the armies of Europe and Asia...could not by force take a drink from the Ohio River or make a track on the Blue Ridge in the trial of a thousand years. No, if destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of free men we will live forever or die by suicide.

Latin Via Ovid worked for me.

The Cambridge Latin series. You can probably find it on eBay or Amazon or somewhere. It's a good interactive textbook series.
No need to buy anything.
Search Google books for 'practical Latin grammar'. Download them all. Learn them ad vomitum.
