My story.
I survived a year without her and somehow I became even more boring and even more side tracked into intellectual pursuits.

P-play your strengths, r-right?
I miss her.

If you like this, look up Tenhi. It's another Finnish band. They don't have full albums on YouTube but here's a sample of their material:

Negative, sir. Shall I abort? Conditions don't seem optimal at this time. Repeated unsuccessful attempts might attract their attention, general.

Alright, this might be a pleb question

But why is it "The Love Song" of J Alfred Prufrock. I've read it through so many times, and I can't identify any relevance of the title to the poem. There's no clear love-object; it doesn't resemble a song apart from the refrain in the first part. I can't come up with any reason why Eliot would pick that name over the previous name he gave it-"Prufrock among the women".

The only thing I can think of is the identification of the women with sirens, and Prufrock's claim that they "will not sing to him", as being the love song, but that seems like a major stretch.

Any insights from you guys? Elliot's pretty popular here.

Also, young Eliot was effay and kinda qt. Why couldn't he get bitches?

So I downloaded an epub of the magic mountain (in German) on libgen.
But it shows these weird numbers in brackets, like: {1} or {567}. I've opened the calibre editor and it would really be a pain in the ass to remove everyone of these 1100 or so page numbers from the text.
So is there any funktion or programm which I can use to remove these or hide them?
Cause there must be some reason that they're included in the file.

How difficult is pic related. I have a fairly intermediate reading level. Recently read Hard Times and Good Old Neon, to give an idea.

This is what I found on wikipedia about it: "Eliot called the poem a "love song" in reference to Rudyard Kipling's poem "The Love Song of Har Dyal," first published in Kipling's collection Plain Tales from the Hills (1888)." I hope this helps.

Who are some good booktubers (if there is such a thing) who don't focus solely on YA and who don't make loud, ADHD-inducing jump cut videos?

Why isn't there more fan art of Larry Niven's stuff? Seriously there's practically no fan art of any of the races or characters from his books and it drives me crazy.

>ideas: a history of thought and invention from fire to freud
>peter watson

one of the most comprehensive and edifying books i've ever read. his voice is limpid and academic, but with a wry humor that makes the scope palatable.

why i never hear his name here or on /his/ is really beyond me.

>>8849888
on the same vein, watson's "the great divide" is also a great overview on what factors caused the old and new worlds to develop at a different rate, ranging from agriculture, climatology, mythology and economics. it's more scientifically dense than ideas, but since you mentioned the early history of man, it might be worth it.

>>8849875
Chinatown, Brazil, Stalker and π are good.

of these, if you're just in the mood for a movie, i'd recommend brazil or 3.14.

>>8849960
Oh fuck off, just suggest a single film.

>>8849967
Thanks man.

I'll probably go with Brazil; I liked Twelve Monkeys when I watched that.

>>8849984
Not him but if you're looking for a French film and you like postmodernism, try Pierrot le Fou

>>8849989
Thanks.
