Yeah, there are a fair number of hi-quality comments, but they’re often buried (like this one above - it was 3 deep in a shitposting community.) Also, if you see a post with a single comment, I often debate if it’s worth it to look, on the chance that it’s a high-quality comment.
my background is a niche military specialty

Wonder what y’all think of this?
Sounds legit to me but idk. Personally I’m most impressed that apparently @Katrisia@lemmy.today typed out the whole thing on a cell phone. bc the youtube video links are all “…m.youtube.com…”
WAT! lel yeah I missed that. I dropped in when Shaggy was doing online IQ tests.
The other day the house cat came into my room, coughed up a huge one, and then casually sauntered out (refusing to elaborate.)
So important to remember that Napoleon III was a despot who subverted his republic, and replaced competent people with blind loyalists. The result was a mismatched war, and soldiers like those sharpshooters put in impossible situations.
Yasss, check out Émile Zola’s “The Downfall”, a novel about the Franco-Prussian War including the Battle of Sedan, there’s a copy on Project Gutenberg, iirc it includes a description of this action.
Good stuff, fam.
They ran the numbers and decided they don’t need you. are you going to stick around there even when they treat you like shit? Take what you can from there, but it’s not your “home”.

hell I’d chill up there all day if I fit and it held my weight…
whoop whoop caught the last 15 mins by looking at https://www.twitch.tv/theshaggy_show
but I dipped once they raided to https://www.twitch.tv/djclay313 bc Clay has “Verified Accounts Only Chat”
Just catching up, interesting song, the eerieness of the AIGen video matched the song topic. Thanks for providing translated subtitles, it’s helpful.
Klick klick had a nice beat - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_zS6ay47Gk Interesting to see how the AI video style changed over just half a year.
Good luck with your music! Feel free to post here again!
ICP’s got SO MUCH stuff out there that it’s pretty easy to miss a gem like this.
This song doesn’t have any supernatural horrorcore stuff or gangster stuff or even clown stuff in it. If you listen to the lyrics, it’s kind of sweet, it’s just about this kid, sounds like he’s high-school age, and he’s telling this other kid: we used to hang out together and have a good time as kids and now we can’t be friends bc everyone’s so worried about being cool.
But by the end the song turns into a little more than that, it talks about how kids are kinda innocent and don’t hate on each other in the same way that older people do. (I mean it’s kinda BS bc kids fight and hate as much as anyone.) But the song’s basically about how people are basically good but we get conditioned to hate one another, and the world would be a better place if we recognized that.
The lyrics somehow manage to be plain but detailed and also kinda funny.

Also the song’s “honking horn” sample is fucking awesome. Anyway check it out.

All this is background for the following advice: Figure out what professors in your university are likely “in the loop” with professors in Europe. Do this by looking at their web pages, social media, etc. and seeing which ones have published recently. (it does not have to be a European venue or with European collaborators.) Especially look at professors you have taken classes with, especially if you did well. Then go talk to those professors and ask them for advice and leads. At minimum they will tell you the good schools to go to. If you did any projects for them, get a recc letter. If you’re really lucky maybe they’ll put you in touch with someone.
btw that whole paragraph about cultural depictions of male competence – I agree that we are all subject to oppresive social structures, but if you’re not careful that can start to sound insensitive. and it’s not really relevant to your larger point, I’d avoid it in your upcoming conversations.
ooh I was thinking of this person: https://hachyderm.io/@combatwombat
I didn’t realize there was a whole platoon of such wombats.
Oh, hey, are you the same Combat Wombat from the mastodon watch parties?
When I read this a kid, I thought this scene was cool bc basically Tintin is pointing out that they’re being surveilled. I thought it was pretty awesome that Tintin was able to figure that out.
Just in case no Japanese people answer, check this out for comparison:
My guess is the kid’s asking for a favor, but making a bit of a joke about it.
She said she’s a traditional girl, etc. I took that to mean … So I rambled about…
That right there is where you oughta be doing a lot more listening than assuming.
Wow, thanks!
Aw yeah that’ s deep… like when the trip starts going bad, lel.
