I know that Spain is supposed to be the other way around, with them working nearly all day.
Yet you still really can't say that for the Spanish. I again, blame this on the Catholics.

Maybe it's suffering from a brain drain and most of the talented people are leaving for better pastures Same thing is happening in Italy I believe

I mean you don't really know what's going on in their country. I wouldn't judge them randomly

>Are you really that desperate? Argentina's future prospects aren't all that good but as it is your plan is much riskier than just living through its decline.
I'm not able to find jobs here, the economy has completely stagnated. Plus I need to move out of my house since in any time everything will implode from within.
I told my mother about my project and she ended up supporting me on going here. Gave me something akin to 1800 reais which should help to sustain myself in the first month. The only issue now is how to nationalize myself there.
I talked about Floripa since it has the most argies in there which would help give a hand in the beggining, perhaps even share room with them. But I don't plan living there, it's more of a stepping stone.

That's better than R$300. Still, in Florianópolis you'll be pretty much alone against the world while at home you can at least rely on people you know.

You know what, forget it, I pussied out in the end since I need to have my highschool certificate and that doesn't come out in three months.
Plus I started seeing how is the job market in brazil and apparently there's a lot of protectionism going on there, companies are required to have their staff be at least 2/3rds brazilians, and the trade labour is also exclusive to their citizens as well.

That they invented Jesus himself? That's misdirection, but Christianity did eventually become the sword of Roman imperialism after Rome became Christian.

Actually, they didn't really conquer Armenia but they were mercenaries there. They ruled Thrace and parts of western Anatolia however, meaning that at one point, Aragon alone stretched three continents before the Americas were even "discovered".

>So Romans, yet again. In-fact, they were the ancestors of Augustus. Now you can trace that further, all the way to Troy and then to the Roman gods.


So basically it seems that the roman gods were demons that they were worshipping. I've been doing some reading and the pattern with greek mythology, egyptian and the roman is almost identical.

This is disturbing.

Rome I think was just the practical implement of greek philosophy and worldview. Almost feels like it was all rigged.

>Roman gods were demons
That's what the Catholic church was pushing for 1000 years. Roman gods were more likely real people who were deified and worshipped. The whole Saturn myth with Jupiter castrating him is identical to Noah.

... I saw this show, watched twice. Bretty darn good. It's about the lost Franklin expedition to map the Northwestern Passage. Some mystery and supernatural was added but I believe their real story had to be a nightmare as well.
Highly recommended.

Etymology thread Bernd 08/05/2020 (Wed) 17:42:24 [Preview] No. 39053 [Reply] [Last 50 Posts]
Post interesting things about etymology

In Turkish the father-in-law or mother-in-law of one's child is called dünür which derives from tengri (like tenger, denger, dengir, tanrı etc) (spelled with nasal n)

krgyz and uygurs call tengri kuday (might be derived persian hüda), they also call co-in-laws kuday.

I always thought it was interesting.

Also the word thor or donar might be derived from tengri

Amerikáner is a hand-cranked drill, usually with a "transmission", some with two gears. Also called furdancs (from the verb fúr = bore/drill). From the -er one can easily tell Amerikáner is a word of German origin, and it means "American". After short consulting with German Wikipedia, I could not find this expression there, just Bohrkurbel or Brustleier.
What is so American about this machinery? I've no idea. Even electric drill is an invention of the (late) 19th century - and it comes from Australia. There must be something in the system how it works that compelled craftsmen to call it like that, lots of craftsmen here were German in origin I suspect it was in their slang.

Let's jump back to the river toponyms for a bit. Recently I dived into a book of Hóman Bálint, a historian who served as a Minister of Religion and Education for about nine years in the interwar and WWII era. This book offers a bit of addition to the various versions of the Don.
Dnieper = Dana-per = "rear river"
Dniester = Dana-ster = "first river" or "near river"

Maybe we could take a look at the Greek names
Don = Tanais - a Greekified form of its local name; Plutarch (or someone else using his name) called it Amazon river or Amazonian.
Dnieper = Borysthenes - the Internet Encyclopedia of Ukraine says the name has local origin, and not Greek
Dniester = Tyras - also a Greekified name of Scythian origin, tura supposedly means "rapid"
Danube = Istros - in Latin: Ister; again local in origin, supposedly the Thracian word means "rapid" again.
Thracians also called the Dniester Istros/Ister, and its name is a combination of Don + Ister. I know this seemingly contradicts the first statement but these are just a bunch of speculations. It could be Ister also means "first" in Scythian. Or whatever.
These Greek names also identified cities as well, which laid about the mouth of those rivers.
Note: close to the city called Istria, there's a small river with the same name, flowing into the Lake Istria. Today a Romanian village lays nearby, called Istria.

Wrong thread.
The funniest-sounding city name I have found is Jijoca de Jericoacoara but sadly it has a straightforward Tupi composition: ji (frog) + oca (home) + yurucuá (turtle) + coara (nest). Judging from the "and" in the middle one might be a qualifier from the other. Or is it a frog home belonging/within the turtle's nest?

Sometimes we call turtles teknősbéka which is turtle + frog.

The Central Powers signed armistices. Were they influenced by a non-existent pandemic?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armistice_of_11_November_1918
This is a completely mainstream Wikipedia article and I see no mention of any Spanish flu that led to the armistice being signed.

>Wilson wasn’t the same man. He tired easily and quickly lost focus and patience. He seemed paranoid, worried about being spied upon by housemaids. He achieved some of his specific goals but was unable or unwilling to articulate a broader vision for a better world.
>Back in the U.S. that fall, Wilson suffered a major stroke just as opposition to the treaty by isolationist senators gained steam. He died four years later, his vision of a strong League of Nations hampered by the absence of his own country.
Based on no evidence, sounds nothing like the non-existent Spanish flu.

It played a part in the wartime exhaustion. Just having the sniffles drops people's performance.
Also it is acknowledged superinfection killed most people not the flu itself. So were they victim of the flu, or the superinfection they suffered from? They had a compromised immune system to begin with, bad hygiene and malnourishment both in the trenches and back at home tired out people which allowed infection of all kinds. The flu itself was more aggressive tho, we know from the example from countries not at war, like Spain.

I ate dijon long time ago, so I don't really remember.
Best mustard I tasted was a horcica (= mustard in Slav) from Northern Hungary, I remember it was more greenish in color, not sure what spices or herbs were used in it. Recently I had the luck to get a jar of Colmans as I wrote in the food thread. It's different from what I'm used to, it has that nose burning quality what horseradish has, I like it.

Dijon one is pretty "weak", even the strongest Dijon mustard is less spicy than classic Russian mustard.
