Welcome to /ub/ - Überhengst
eq2zP

No.3
German for "over stallion," and a reference to Nietzsche's "Übermensch," /üb/ - Überhengst is about bettering yourself physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. It is about self-improvement, constructive self-reflection, and seeking advice from others. You may discuss here those personal hobbies through which you develop your creative energies, and the efforts you take to improve your talents, artistic and otherwise. And of course, this is a board for fitness and literature, as they are parts of the backbone of physical and mental wellness. This is also a board where we may discuss Western culture - history, literature, architecture, and philosophy - as when imbibed, culture improves the mind and spirit, sharpening mental faculties, and providing a greater connection to those around you and to civilizations millennia old.

As this is a self-improvement board, discussions of personal problems should be constructive. No wallowing in self-pity. We are here to become better, and while seeking company in misery may be a helpful part of the process, the process does not end there.

Enjoy!

About a third of the way through. Can't say whether I actually like it or not yet, but something about it is haunting, and I feel it creep up on me when I'm alone. Not sure if it's actually going to build up to something, or if it's just going to wander through all the different protag's lives, as a snapshot of lost souls. Wouldn't mind either.

There was this guy Norm, who was a millwright at a treatment plant.
What is it about guys named "Norm" being absurdly skilled, btw? Never has the guy named Norm been anything but the expert.
Anyway, he worked as a millwright just to give himself an income for a while, before going BACK to work as an underwater bridge welder, making 600k/year

Either that or just return the humanities to what they were originally, studying Greek classics and ancient languages and subjects that actually have real bearing on Western civilization, and yeet out all the postmodern nonsense and nigger-worship. Also: financial aid and most scholarships should be eliminated, and high schools should stop trying to funnel every student into college regardless of whether or not they belong there. College should return to being what it was originally, ie a place where those with the brains and inclination can learn about history, sciences and the world and get a well-rounded education. Everyone else can be filtered into trade schools, apprenticeships, and worthwhile occupations, instead of wasting years getting a degree in bullshit and ending up competing over worthless office jobs. Literally everyone wins.

I eat spicy foods and laugh, because during my military security force training, I was pepper-sprayed three times.
It's part of the training. If you ever use pepper spray in real life, Murphy's Law is guaranteed to take a hand in the matter and blow half of that shit back in your face.
So you have to be able to fight through it.

I like to cook up the protein first. Your taste may vary, I like shrimp, bay scallops, and andouille sausage. Cook it all together while starting the rice, diced tomatoes, and seasoning in a big pot.
Chop up equal parts onion, green bell peppers, and celery (trinity). When the meat is done, scoop it into the rice pot and reserve the juices. Cook the trinity in the juices until it begins to soften, then add the cooked veg to the main pot with the meat and rice and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat and let it simmer for about an hour, stirring occasionally. Season to taste. Fairly big yield, so good for families, but keeps well if you’re just making food you can heat and eat for a busy week, as I was in this instance.

ITT we share wisdoms that we have gleaned through our own experiences with our fellow Anons, that they might live a better life. I'll start:

NEVER ask a question unless you are %100 that you want to know the answer. Whatever happens, you literally asked for it, so you better be damn sure you really wanted to know. Remember this and it will help you with friends, family, lovers, and even children. Live your life by it.

Theres a bible thread, there should be a Pagan/Norse thread.

If decoded in a particular way (read: correct) the Bible and the Norse/Pagan tradition have an astonishing amount of parallel/in-common. But this thread isn't about appealing to Christendom, it is about embracing the warrior spirit of our proud white traditions and heritage!
Odin does not respect the man who kneels, Odin honors the man who stands resolute in the face of Gods.

>Paganism does not deny the "One True" God. Pagans aren't saying "There isn't one, there's MANY Gods!".
This isn't really accurate either. There have been many pagan religions throughout history, and not all of them were polytheistic. There were monotheistic pagan religions too.
>Pagans observe that the Creator is - if you look closer - comprised of many facets and capacities, all divine and infinite in their respective capacities.
This mindset isn't even necessarily pagan either. What you describe is the outlook of Hinduism, for example.
>The sad reality is, everyone is simply arguing about perspective and terminology.
Well, it appears that we do not agree on the definition of the term "pagan". To me, pagan means:
>(especially in historical contexts) a person holding religious beliefs other than those of the main or recognized religions
Under this definition, paganism has no single religious outlook.

On another note, it also really depends what you mean by "god". The concept of god, and the words we use to refer to it, vary from faith to faith.
The reason why monotheists say that polytheistic pagans deny the one true god is because the concept of God as defined by Christians, Muslims and Sikhs (for Zoroastrians and Jews it's slightly different, but similar) is incompatible with polytheism, because being singular, almighty divine entity of uncontested power and wisdom is part of the definition of God to monotheists. If you merely count their God as a collection of countless divine entities, you deny the definition and nature of their God.

>the average Pagan because they haven't figured it out
Or maybe your single personal opinion doesn't represent paganism.
>What Christians call God, the greeks called Olympus
Olympus isn't a divine entity. It's one of the few things in Greek myth that isn't personified. The pantheon of Olympus is a family of divine beings, many with separate origins.
>they observed the workings of Olympus as having a multitude of operant parts in the same way the body has organs and systems
This is closer to Hinduism, that sees the gods all as aspects of a single divine that encompasses the universe.
>And yes, you won't like hearing this, but Zoroastrians and Jews are closer to the truth, at least IMO
Elaborate.
Jews see God as their monotheistic spirit of their people, which is why they are so self-centered.

I take the natural approach. I let my garden do it's own thing, every year or so I'll clear out the thatch but only if I see other plants struggling. I get a whole host of random plants growing at any given time, so the bees are happy.

I try to meddle as little as possible, so that bees and skinks have a place to go and chill (one reason why I don't trim the garden in the spring when the holly is flowering).
I try to keep it neat so the neighbors don't complain, and believe me, they love to complain. They think it gives them power over me.

Good lad. A tidy up now and again is good, but trimming every hedge and making sure every blade of grass is the same height is redundant. I can appreciate having a nice garden, but critters get the most use out of it. We have a trend here in the UK with covering back gardens with other concrete of artificial grass. It's clinical and horrible.

No plant is evil, but I can see how it would annoy you. I'd suggest trimming now and again, and composting the cuttings.

>2000 Years ago Eristosthenes(sp) did his famous well experiment, determining NOT that the world was a ball (they knew that already, cuz they weren't retarded), but the approximate size.

Well, our good friend SciManDan has just such an idea in mind
In two days he is going to Captain a worldwide experiment with his viewers, simultaneously recreating Eristosthenese's experiment from ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD.
The data is to be compiled (using social media) into a data sheet that by all indications will give the most precise model for the specific volume of the planet.

Oh, and as an added bonus, it will be YET MORE proof that the Earth is - whatever shape it IS - is not flat

But that's just a negated form of "Combobulated", which please define in raw words?
Not saying you're wrong, but let me give you an idea of what I mean:

Stalwart - Brave; bold; strong; redoubted; daring; vehement; violent.
Discombobulate - To throw into a state of confusion. synonym: befuddle

The point being, the former is more of a concept described by a word, where the latter is a word to describe several concepts.
Both are valid as both words/concepts, but one is drastically more specific/precise than the other. Sophistry aside, the two couldn't be more separate.

What makes a word 'good' isn't how verbose it is. Verisimilatude(sp) is a shit term, for example. Instead of such verbocity, "Kind" (as in 'of kind' 'kindred', etc.) is far better.
It's not just the syllables or the complexity of the word, but also the etymology.
