/int/ - certified time wasters

Same photos in a better resolution

pic5 - smug Lenin saying "how do you like it under capitalism?". Bought him for gf's mom who is USSR-nostalgic communist.
pic6 - Lutheran church. Mostly visited by Volga Germans but my friend's dad goes there while being Ukrainian.
pic7 - there is enormous amount of elite male barbershops in the town, higher density than in the capital.
pic8 - soviet mural, in front of it smartphone repair ad written in Runglish

Can pedestrians walk across that bridge?

>>19143
No, because that's "strategic object". BTW there is a parallel bridge nearby. This bridge is 2km long and that bridge is 6 km long.

You can't stand a honest worker sharing his experience of using his whole body to move things around with his bare hands? Sweating while pushing cat litter, fragrances, books, small electronics parts clothing, wine, fitness devices and all that shit having a calculate 90 seconds to get the job done each time? To people who vote CDU, think black people are suspicious and that want a little fun on their life? A new top, the new book by Kopp Verlag, that smart watch or the plastic toy your daughter wanted when she looked over your shoulder while you scrolled Ebay to relieve some stress after work?

The only sweat you know comes from anfrily typing word sequences that aim to prove your moral superiority to others below you. The pale citoyen can only lose. Remember that, boy.

Instead of refreshing /int/ all the day, you can come here once in a while and there will be enough new posts each time.

How did OP post without a countryball? I must know.

N..No you!

Proles go to /b/, /int/ is for cultivated scholars such as myself. We don't need to watch sweaty meatheads carrying out pointless competitions.

no I dont like watching satanic faggots

A true intellectual would intellectualize the Olympics by looking closer at concepts like competition, games, vitality, ritual and democracy that can be found in the Olympic tradition.

>A close connection between architecture, athletics, and the urban fabric is central to the idea of the modern Olympic Games.

no need to open a new thread.
am robot as well, apparently.

As a result of ECs troubled past, we have a board rule here concerning meta discussions of other boards. Refugee threads during downtimes are exceptions, though.

Career success isn't based on doing a good job. It's based on others believing that you're doing a good job.

That's because modern architects are shit.

These brutalist churches are actually pretty cool and closer to proper christian asceticism instead of the faggy gothic pomp or the low budget version of a 'pittoresque' church Ludwig II would have ordered to built.

Yeah, I need a sauce on that opinion

>>18417
There may be nice brutalist churches but the one which you've posted is ugly and trypophobia-inducing.

>>18391
I agree with you.

Reading close to ahistorical.

When Gorbachev took power in 1985, the shortcomings of the deficit-economies had long become blatantly obvious to their inmates. Polish martial law had come and gone, it had ended with concessions, not with a Warsaw pact invasion. As we have known since 2009, Jaruzelski had practically begged Kulikov. But Brezhnev-doctrine was over.

That was just the goofy national curriculum. Now that I've achieved the necessary grade, I can freely shit on it.
None of the silly Soviet curriculum even came up. Quite sad.

"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist…The prospect of domination of the nation’s scholars by Federal employment, project allocation, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded"
We are remembered that one Dwight D. Eisenhower spoke about the perils of unchecked military-industrial expansionism, but the keepers of the historical record tend to omit the warning about scholar's being coopted by the warlord faction.

I sincerely apologize for not fulfilling my quota recently. I shall enthusiastically integrate hyper-scale growth strategies to exceed EcKinseys novel KPIs.

Btw I kinda got back into reading manga. Finished Dragon Ball, caught up on Chainsaw Man and the post-Miura Berserk chapters, read Fire Punch and now started One Piece.
It's a lot of fun, nowadays I think I enjoy the shounen stuff more since I appreciate the creativity put into it and the positive messages more than when I used to be a gloomy teenager interested in more edgy & 2deep4u stuff. Though that also still interests me.
But I also want to get into some other genres. Maybe try reading Yotsuba in the original now that I'm back at studying Japanese.

My current manga obsession is trying to finish every volume of Sayonara Zetsubou-sensei.
I'm on vol28 currently out of 30 and while it has no overarching plot, it was interesting to see the form, content and characters shift with between the start of publication and the later chapters.

It starts out with a huge cast which at some point gets into like the mid 20s and it slowly "degrades" until it only uses 5-6 characters at best regularly and even those seem to only lose from their initial traits. It's basically getting worse but I still like it in a sense.
I'm sick of it, I wish it was over and I also don't know what I'll do with my life once its over.

It baits you in with having a melancholic main character who's a homage to Dazai and then you stay because you realise that it's basically just the author's neurotic diary about what grinds his gears about Japan currently, which is usually that the LDP is ass (because they are not nationalist and effective enough), something baseball/idol related and then also some really awful pun you only understand once you look up the kanji and then you actually want to kill yourself because it was so fucking bad.

And you kind of realize that yeah, you also have these moments where something about everyday life really ticks you off, be it an odd expression, custom or procedure where the entire thing falls apart the moment you think a bit too hard about it.
So like it's really relatable at least for me.

Also been re-watching the anime. Honestly from an artistic standpoint it feels like a prototype of Monogatari. Same studio. The quality's is shit for the first season but it's really funny honestly. And it has a good soundtrack and some nice character-tracks, of which I understand nothing but I like the tunes and some of the VAs can actually sing and no I am not going down that fucking rabbit hole where I care for seiyuus.

It's not worth crying over spilt milk - for it wasn't beer.

Say "Yes" once too often and you can never say "No" anymore.
