Video games thread - my turn edition.

In a daring dash, a friendly AI secured valuable assets deep within the borderlands.
A unit without supply needs is powerful for deep commando operations, but this border region is yet to be reinforced against the close by Panzermark.

The mistake to declare an applied science director to early was made, still a lot of regular research to be done before they can do anything at all.
The budget cuts were mostly taken like a champ.

The OOB for now excluding militia consist of the usual MG regiments for overall needs, but this time 8 regiments of regular infantry were raised too, they are planned to be expanded into offensive battalions to better assist armored assaults.
Larger militia formations proof useful to quickly grow new borderzones when disbanded.

Just noticed the old music thread is on Systemkontra after my post >>89587 so here is a new thread to talk about music with Ernst.

Going back to "Come and see" the director told (more or less) "I would not want a professional actor... I wanted a 14 YO unexperienced boy... With that kind of film we had to train him that by the end of the film he would not get into an asylum!"

Fug yes. Like a cretin told, "how great is cinema".

Give me things to search and I will search and post the results

I have no proof or medical studies to show that this is the case, but I also have no doubts. I believe that to get out of depression, tiredness, fatigue and all that shit, you first have to work your body, since a healthy body is a healthy mind, for that it is good to do sports, whatever it is. it is as long as it keeps our body busy. Another important factor is studying, it doesn't really matter what, it doesn't matter if it's for university, school or for yourself, you have to do it to keep your mind occupied with something productive. I would also say that looking for a job, or generating income with a startup, as this will keep our mind and body busy, while giving us money, in itself gives us a reason to keep going, especially when you are working on something of your own.

Another important point is to stop comparing yourself to others, stop thinking that the other is better than you because you have more knowledge, money or physical condition. It is also very silly to think about issues such as superiority or inferiority, we are all human, we all have problems and difficulties in life, of course there are degrees of this, but this does not have to be a limitation. You have to focus on yourself, on your problems, on your virtues, on your life, and not on that of others.

Another issue is guilt and remorse, which depending on the person can be the easiest part, or difficult to overcome, because it is easy to forgive others, but sometimes it is difficult, if not impossible, to forgive yourself. No matter how dirty your hands are, they can always be cleaned. You have to accept your sins, accept what you did wrong and live with it. Go to a priest, a psychologist, or tell someone you trust what you did, this can help, it doesn't matter if you think psychology is a joke, or if you don't believe in God, the important thing is to somehow get the weight off What are you wearing.

My least favorite part of this thread is going to a psychiatrist and being prescribed medication, which in itself sucks. But these in some cases are necessary to be able to do the above. Non-magical drugs, and you can't expect them to solve all your problems, but they are a great supplement to doing some of the steps mentioned in this thread.

Well, post what you're cooking/eating, discuss food and its culture in general and we may talk about diets as well if you want to.

I'm not a big cook myself but once in a blue moon I like to do it if the process is not too hard or needs too much time. I think the last time I actually cooked something was a south-western inspired casserole, it was extremely fatty because of the massive amount of molten cheese and I felt bad after eating it.
Today I found some older frozen asian vegetables in my freezer and cooked them together with some frozen sugar bean pods and some curry powder, I never thought cooked vegetables without any meat or carbs could taste so well.

Pagan Altar - Mythical & Magical

This album might be one of the greatest Heavy Metal albums ever recorded. Honestly, I don't think I could conjure enough words of praise to heap on this album, so I'll leave it to the fine folks at Metal-Archives to do the job for me:
https://www.metal-archives.com/reviews/Pagan_Altar/Mythical_%26_Magical/139953/

One highlight for me is, ironically, one of the album's less heavier moments "The Crowman". The song perfectly blends Folk and Rock in between all those infectious bluesy licks that transcends time itself and inspires nostalgia for music from eras gone by. And to think this was recorded and released in 2006:

Alright. I will open a thread on infrastructure. Generally this one can be used to think about infrastructure, admire its aesthetic potential and beyond this ponder the network existence and its different modalities that we may lead in this world that we inhabit right now.
These introductory words need further elaboration, ideally, it will be done over the course of this thread.

Paul N. Edwards wrote a general article on infrastructure in the early 2000s. In that he cited the U.S. President’s Commission on Critical Infrastructure Protection from 1996 that shall be our gateway to what infrastructure is commonly referred to

• transportation
• oil and gas production and storage energy production in general would be more suitable these days with renewables being a thing
• water supply
• emergency services
• government services
• banking and finance
• electrical power
• information and communications

I like to add
• raw materials, the EU has a list for such critical elements that are used for batteries or chip production as an example.

A key concept for all infrastructure according to Edwards is flow. Flow also provides the base for its aesthetic potential. That is: seamless operation has an aesthetic quality.

>Not only hardware but organizations, socially communicated background knowledge, general acceptance and reliance, and near-ubiquitous accessibility are required for a system to be an infrastructure in the sense I am using here

says Edwards, he does remark though, that this is a western understanding and that concrete infrastructure of the west cannot be universalized throughout the world in its conception and actual operation.

Edwards has more to say about infrastructure but I will stop now.

The article in question is (the book can be found on libgen):
Paul N. Edwards. Infrastructure and Modernity: Force, Time, and Social Organization
in the History of Sociotechnical Systems, in: Misa, Brey, Feenberg (ed.), Modernity and Technology, MIT, Cambridge/London, pp. 185-227.

Well, seems like the Republicans (Republicucks) don't want to finance Ukraine, nothing new.

I don't want to disgrace the suffering today thread with more of this.

---
I'll start by translating selected passages of PCTP-MRPP's official line on its participation in the bourgeois electoral sham known as the 2022 Portuguese Legislative Elections.

>[...] The Party has a political line on (the question of) participating or not participating in bourgeois elections, being that this is not the Party's main task. Our agitation, propaganda and political struggle is not stored for the electoral season and does not require elections to be carried out!
>This participation has as primary goal the strengthening of the Party, in terms of organization, whose configuration is dependent on political circumstances and situation. This participation is also a fight for the survival of the Party. And this is how it must be seen.
>This is the meaning of presenting a candidacy in a moment of intense atacks and struggles against all sorts of opportunists and traitors who have only, as we all can see, the only and main purpose the criminalization, fragmentation and destruction of the Party, appealing constantly to desertion, undermining and denying the study, the ideological struggle, and the organized political intervention -- Marxism is our strategy, as so brilliantly defended comrade Arnaldo Matos -- wanting, even still, to impose from their armchairs and the comfort of their home, their points of view, believing, perhaps that their escape gives them the status of uncompromised and independent ideologues.

>[...] It is clear that the Party will one day not participate in elections, by orders of the bourgeoisie which, is already becoming apparent. Let them then, play that role and everything will become more clear!
>The Party has decided it will not criminalize itself, nor transform into a dilettante group of pseudo-intellectuals during a moment in which the capitalist mode of production presents all the symptons of agony, being that these early elections, after the implosion of the bourgeois parliament in an autophagic process, is not unnoticed, namely in this significance in the recomposition of political alliances between all the different bourgeois sectors.

Translator's note: different bourgeois sectors here refers to the political spectrum of parties that don't include PCTP-MRPP.

I hope to see what they'll post when this vanguard of the masses manages to mobilize up to 0,4% of the electorate. The wreckers whose only and, therefore, main is the criminalization of the last bastion of pure Marxism in Portugal will try their hardest to sabotage the elections too. I'm glad the politburo remains vigilant.
I have borrowed their revolutionary electoral posters to adorn EC in all of their blinding glory.

Decadent debauchery edition, with more CAPS

This thread is dedicated to discussions and findings about the present, future and history of (digital) media and technology. They can concern culture, society, politics and philosophy. I know we have a science thread and a computer thread, but this thread is decicated to the humanities side of the issue, though this thread should not exclude (computer) science.

I will make my updates here regulary I hope, so this is a personal thread which should accompany my personal studies, but you are invited to post here as well. I will mainly review articles or books, perhaps post personal experience we often discussed imageboards here, which can boil down board culture, but also social composition, so that would be a topic, but also hope to link thoughts together in the future.

More or less: What are the consequences of a digital age in various domains, where are we heading and where do we/it came from?

The thread could contain questions like:

[*]What is the digital, what does this notion imply?
[*]What is media?
[*]The dawning of the notion of networks
[*]Cybernetics and systems theory/science and other disciplinces that fostered the digital age
[*]The role and influence of mathematics.
[*]How did photography and radio waves affect cultures and philosophy?
[*] What's the history of phones and cell phones byeonf its technocial developement? This thread is not so much concerned with inventors but inventions and wider implications and consequences.
[*]How do media and technology affect human being? How does it affect the unsconscious, how does it shape the way we handle feelings and what does it to emotions, if we understand emotions as a cultural realm of expressions for feelings, for instance?
[*]What aesthetics are set up thanks to media and technology?
[*]How are media and technology organizing culture and society?
[*]How do media and technology shape the way we percieve the world?
[*] What implications does algorithmic automation have? How do algorithms shape culture and society, personal experience?
[*]What role do private enterprises play? How are states affected by the digital age?
[*]The impact of the digitality and computation on the environment.
[*]The hardware infrastructure and its social and political implications, also what do infrastructures and their asesthetics tell us?
[*]Design and design practices, be it software or other
[*]The role of art in the age of digitality, what are its possebilities, are thre new possebilities?

This thread is opened in a spirit of the Cyberntic Culture Research Unit. We don't have to deal with demons, numerology and escaping being human, but to let it flow theoretically, we've progressed a few decades since the internet came into being, the future of then is now, it's a different time, thus different handling. This is not about royal science (pure academia) but para academic exploration of a technological and media condition that occupes many pores of our life and the domains of the social, cultural, political and the personal.

Talking of the digital age is quite assuming, but I think we can all agree that it plays a significant part in our modes of existence.

Have you noticed the die-off Ernst?

So many people I know are becoming seriously ill lately, a few have also dropped dead.

My 23 year old nephew developed severe epilepsy after getting vaxxed because they took his rights away until he was vaxxed and boosted. My neighbour's niece who is 8 years old now has leukemia after getting the vaxx. My coworker collapsed after getting his booster and spent the last 10 weeks in hospital. My other coworker's father dropped dead after getting his booster .... the list goes on and on

My facebook feed is full of obituaries to people in the locality dropping dead, or famous musicians, football players, local celebs etc. just dropping dead

I've never seen such a wave of illness in my life and I've been around 40 years. The die-off has begun I think

https://www.llnl.gov/news/national-ignition-facility-achieves-fusion-ignition

>LLNL’s experiment surpassed the fusion threshold by delivering 2.05 megajoules (MJ) of energy to the target, resulting in 3.15 MJ of fusion energy output, demonstrating for the first time a most fundamental science basis for inertial fusion energy (IFE). Many advanced science and technology developments are still needed to achieve simple, affordable IFE to power homes and businesses, and DOE is currently restarting a broad-based, coordinated IFE program in the United States. Combined with private-sector investment, there is a lot of momentum to drive rapid progress toward fusion commercialization.

>Achieving ignition was made possible by dedication from LLNL employees as well as countless collaborators at DOE’s Los Alamos National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories and Nevada National Security Site; General Atomics; academic institutions, including the University of Rochester’s Laboratory for Laser Energetics, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of California, Berkeley, and Princeton University; international partners, including the United Kingdom’s Atomic Weapons Establishment and the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission; and stakeholders at DOE and NNSA and in Congress.

120% energy return, thereby being commercially viable. We will have at least 1 working fusion reactor within ten years. Also, America beat ITER.

Personal milestone: 100 lbs / 45.36 kg lost in a period of two years.

I figured out what my problem was with regards to plateauing. In addition to eating too much, I was holding onto the handrails which reduced my Calorie burn by 32%. Since that time, I have not been holding on to the handrails which subsequently increased the intensity of my workouts. Every session ends with sweat soaked clothes. The weight loss is showing on the scale which is very encouraging.

I've spent enough time online having serious discussions that I've come to realize something.
Not saying it's some novelty idea or anything similar, but I have been trying to maximize the intellectual value each conversation or discussion that I might have online, and with that I have become somewhat confident in one thing; Positivity and open-mindedness, pride being completely put aside are one of the things that are the basis for a discussion that could hold value for both people participating in it.

The best discussions that take place are ones where people consider themselves to be on equal ground intellectually, seeing the person you are arguing against in a way that doesn't take away his or her intellectual value or potential to make a good point that could potentially change the way you think. There's a common mistake that many people make when it comes to discussions, and that mistake is the idea that being right is the most desired outcome.

The very concept of taking part in a discussion with the idea that you want to be right, is already taking away potential for a discussion that could be more intellectually stimulating than you would have without the idea. What is right or wrong should be completely irrelevant, there are a variety of different discussions with people, that as an outside observer, could consider one of the people wrong or right, still make for conversations that have value.

Some could say that specific subjects have little to no value, but then we would have to start thinking about what the definition of what value is. What is considered value? Scientific subjects? Mathematics? Something related to STEM? Fair enough, those subjects might be considered to be of more value than certain others. But then you'd also have to think about that the very idea of value is something subjective that can be different for different types of people. Hence why I used the word ''considered''.

Should certain subjects be completely put aside and shut down? If yes, then you must think that there are different subjects out there considered to be useless. By thinking that there are subjects which shouldn't be talked about because you consider them useless, then there's the question of what determines the usefulness of subjects according to you. Ask an average person about important subjects, and as I said earlier, then it would likely be something related to STEM.

What I really have a hard time understanding, however, is the authority that some people assume that allows them to decide subjects. I think it has something to do with the idea that these people have a desire for society and civilization as a whole, to take a certain direction, a direction that is being influenced by these people who assume this sense of authority. Is it correct? Are these people really responsible for progress that would have been unable to exist without this mentality? It's a contradictionary way of thinking because while these people put progress above all else, and consider human beings to be capable of so much, they still feel the need to help themselves towards a certain direction.

If people think so highly of themselves, if we're going to do great things, shouldn't they end up happening on their own and this forced mentality of trying to decide things that should be happening, be talked about, put consideration towards? Do we really need to be so rigid? It feels like to me that there might end up being a point in time where, due to this mentality that has been becoming more and more present in our world, that we might reach a point where we wouldn't be able to keep up with progress. When people refer to progress in today's day there's an implication of it being solely technological. I can't be the only one who thinks that there are other ways of progressing as well.

Going back to what I was saying earlier regarding positivity, I think that having a negative view on things does hold some value, but there's only a specific amount of things you are able to achieve through having a more negative view on things. Positivity opens way more doors. I think that when you approach an argument, or an idea, with a positive outlook, you are allowing the person the freedom to form their own individual point of view without scrutiny. When you do the same thing negatively, you are essentially negating the person's idea or point of view, implying that the person should distance themselves from the conclusion they might have reached.

For example, for places like universities, there's a feeling you get that you are a developing person, and you are given positivity along with many others who get support from not only teachers but even other students. It allows the person to grow, you get confidence in your way of thinking and you develop based on this confidence. Negativity does not possess the same qualities, it doesn't really give a lot of potential for a person's outlook on life to progress and grow, someone faced with a lot of negativity is more likely to be more diverse in their knowledge rather than being more specifically knowledgeable as a method of coping. When someone tries to specialize themselves in a specific subject, faces negativity, said person could take this feedback and start from scratch.

pls don't rate my today thread, it's not a race and I just didn't want to post in a kontra'd thread.

The thread is dead, long live the thread!

The day finally came this week. I just found out today that my junkie "cousin" fatally OD'ed two days ago. I put "cousin" in quotes because my mother was adopted. My mother knew exactly where she stood as her adoptive parents were quick to tell her, "Blood is thicker than water." After hearing the refrain throughout much of your life, you grow bitter and disgusted, but frankly, we're both thankful to God we share not one drop of blood with these people

My cousin was a malignant tumor given a human shape. Because of this woman's terrible childhood, grandpa pitied her endlessly. Even as recently as a year ago, he kept saying, "She's just a big kid," because she would always be the 5-year-old girl he'd stare at on his refrigerator door. I don't know what inspired her to take drugs, but I can tell you that she indeed suffered the worst possible circumstances growing up. Her father committed suicide before she was six months old. Her mother is a consummate grifter who shacks up with the lowest of low lives.

My cousin's teenage obsession with Kurt Cobain partly explains her inclination towards hard drugs, but she grew up with an endless stream of pain. She either decided early on that her prospects in life would be minimal (her mother did frequently berate her) or perhaps she simply had no interest in being productive, and what better way to explore new sensations than continually ingest newer and newer highs. Getting high simultaneously helped alleviate the pain of her childhood trauma and kept her close in spirit to the celebrities she idolized. Her grandpa would unconditionally support her, so the incentive to grow up simply didn't exist. In the end, grandpa viewed his granddaughter as a child who desperately needed to be nurtured.

In the beginning, grandpa afforded my cousin a mobile home near some of her school friends. Despite the town being economically destitute, she still wanted to stay in touch with the same circle of shitheads. Meanwhile, grandpa routinely paid for her various expenses, from utilities, phone plan to even toiletries, all while she received welfare. She also solicited under false pretenses so he'd give her beer and drug money for her and her friends to party.

After years of grandpa's support, she caused him absolute grief, from stealing from friends, hanging out with petty criminals and dope fiends, getting in trouble with the law and ruining his credit by running up debt on his cards, forcing him to lie to the credit card company (he claimed ID theft) to protect her.

Within the past five years or so, my cousin became deeply addicted to heroin and started doing anything she could to feed her habit, including stealing some of his antiques, stealing his social security checks and forging signatures to cash them, stealing from friends and even getting one of her dope fiend friend to screech and harass him into giving up family heirlooms, most notably grandma's ring. After allegedly three hours of verbal abuse, he finally caved in and surrendered the ring. She and dope fiend stole his car to pawn the ring and used the proceeds to buy drugs. One time, a dealer even came by grandpa's house to collect an owed debt.

After enough abuse, grandpa finally mustered the courage to call the cops and had his precious heroin addict put in rehab for a month. After she got out, she immediately went back to her old tricks, doing drugs, stealing from everyone she knew and doing everything to keep her heroin supply steady. She even found newer ways to solicit money from grandpa, such as buying pet food for her starving dog, which she would then return for heroin money. As this all happened, she shoplifted, leading to her getting caught one time and pulling a "I DINDU NUFFIN!" After enough grief, he called the cops, had her arrested and got a restraining order.

A month went by without a word from my cousin, but being full of hard luck stories, she came back into his life and continued the drug routine. In that time, he befriended an empathetic cop. One night, she came home after having stole his car to make a drug run, banging on the door and cursing noisily. The cop greeted and promptly arrested her. As she sat in jail, she wrote him a letter, demanding he rescind the restraining order, effectively leading to law enforcement revoking her bail.

She was then sentenced to 6 months (it took two months for the case to go anywhere because her lawyer kept forum shopping) and was finally free around Christmas time. Since that time, she was living in the old bastard's house and continued to live her days partying and stealing from friends.

Then, her biological mother moved in and the conditions of grandpa's house deteriorated rapidly. Prior to OD'ing fatally, she had previously OD'd at a friend's house which put her in court-ordered rehab for three months. In a move that surprised everyone, grandpa finally pressed charges for stealing which put her in jail for about a month. She fatally OD'ed within one week of getting out.

Frankly, I don't have it in me to gravedance. All I can say is what a waste of life.

So tell me, how do you feel about the opioid crisis? Do you know anyone in your life affected by it?

I am trying to find a movie/documentary where 2 directors are challenging each other to do some shit with their cameras. I dont remember much, but only one scene where one of them is eating in some slum, with fine with tablecloth and wine and everything, with hungry kids around.

I think it was two famous directors even, quite a while ago. Google and yandex fail me, do you have an idea?

Hello, I will post here some jokes I collected over the years way back on KC /int/.
Feel free to add your own.
There are way more than fit in one post, but I won't necessarily be able to post regularly.

Jerusalem's highest rabbi is on an official trip in England. On one
morning, he wakes up really early. It is Jom Kippur. He steps on the
balcony and sees the hotel's golf course.
He thinks "It's so early, nobody will see me". He grabs his golf gear
and steps on the green.
Up in heaven, St. Peter says to god "Do you see what the highest rabbi
of Jerusalem is doing? On Jom Kippur? Do you not want to punish him for
it?"
God nods. The rabbi drives off and hits hole in one, a perfectly rare
occurrence.
St. Peter: "I don't understand - you wanted to punish him!"
God: "I have. Who can he tell?"

The news of blackouts in Ukraine makes me wonder, how well prepared is Ernst for 3-4 hour blackouts? Especially periodic episodes where you might lose power during peak hours over weeks. The worst case scenario raised here is 5-7pm on weekdays in January and February which is lighter but should make commuting interesting.

I think my laptop should be able to survive on battery for a few hours but I'll have to work out power banks which appears to be its own hell when it comes to AC connected laptops. I'll also need to think about storing media for when I just want to zone out for an hour or two given the internet would likely be down or at least stuck on mobile internet. That said, I live in a well insulated flat so cold shouldn't be a problem and I'm a big guy so I reckon I'll just murder panic buyers this time.

William Blake edition

Hello, I am a new in this place and I didn't find any real estate/housing thread so I'm creating one here. I will post some thoughts and updates of my journey on finally acquiring my own place. You can see this thread as my blog and use it as your own blog too.

I have a dream to live in my own place, so I dont rent a flat and saving up money. Since flats are too overpriced and I have a piece of land in the city, I'm planning to build a house. There is already a one bulding on that piece of land - a garage, but its not legalized yet. The piece of land is not connected to electicity(and a whole bystreet) but I believe that its a solvable issue. 2 weeks ago I found an architect who will make a house plan for me. He asked me to send him pictures of houses which I like and make a draft plan of the floors. Pic related are houses that I liked the most. I want a one-storey house with an attic and a semi-basement. If everything goes right, I can have a house plan with the needed documents and construction permission till the next Spring.

I gave in to the propaganda and I got myself some tasty insects. They cost a whopping 500 €/kg, cheap protein my ass.

How is the life in the countryside in Europe?
i have been in different imageboards, like Krautchan, Kohlchan, Ylilauta and 4chan /int/ in his early days, but i have almost never seen a thread made by a western european about life as a farmer or in the countryside at least.
Do these people have special benefits from their goverments for pursuing such a life style there? or they are impoverished as for example farmers in the Americas?
Here life in the farm is mostly for people who are either too ignorant to have a job in the city, or people with lot of money who work in the farm just for fun. My family falls in the second category, thought when my parents were young they definitely were in the first.

Was Donbad bombed yet today?

/int/'s worst threda is back

A Russian musician, MC Ivan Petunin, killed himself. Fearing the next rounds of conscriptions, he made a video explaining that he didn't want to kill in the Ukraine or be sodomized in prison for a decade.

>“I’m not ready to take up arms and kill my own kind. Forgive me, those who love me, but sometimes you have to die for your principles. And my final decision is how exactly I will die: from the people we attacked, (in order, – ed.) to remain forever in history as a person who supported what is happening, or to express his final protest,” he said.

Fuck censorship and false labels. Also people who don't even bother to check the URL provided (it's plaintext with, as stated, medical references — many of them.)

Just getting something off my chest, but I think that niche imageboard users are a very specific demographic, maybe you’ve had similar moments.

Growing up I tended to idolize things. I thought people were smarter and nicer than they really were and later got disappointed. But even then I’ve had vague idealized ideas about love, politics, science etc and that kept me going.

Right now I’m 22, I’ve finished therapy, managed to deal with my traumatic childhood, landed some entry level IT job with nice working conditions. I live alone and support myself.

But I don’t really have any motivation to do anything. I keep learning new things and have long term plans but only because it seems like the rational thing to do. I even dabble with art. But I’m not committed to anything, I force myself.

I’ve been in relationships, fell in love, thought that person is the one, got hurt, got over it. And later saw it all repeat itself. Love is just a game with high risk and high reward, nothing to live for.

Studying is nice but science doesn’t have any miraculous solutions for world’s problems, it doesn’t have an end goal.

Politics is just bigger and smaller echo chambers. The left is full of hypocrites fighting with made up enemies, the right is inhumane and that disgusts me. There’s no discussion and nothing seems to change.

It feels like life just doesn’t offer what I need from it. I can’t let go of youthful idealism and nothing else seems to satisfy me. I want to change the world for the better and I think it’s a silly unpractical idea but I can’t let go of it.

Post yours.

Slept for 7 hours last night. For some reason my weekday alarm went off and woke me up even though I cancelled it :(
Stupid buggy app...

Last night I had some yummy sardines for dindin and this morning I cooked a big batch of spicy vegetarian chili :3
Do you want a bowl anon?
I like to put a little sour cream on it – the contrast with the hot spiciness is amazinggg. It's super spicy and the flavour explodes on your tongue!

After that I got some dumb chores done. My neighbor's dog was barking all day today and it was really annoying :/
My allergies have been bothering me today too.

I'm pretty tired tonight because I have a lot of sleep debt from a hectic week. I'll probably try to go to bed early...

We had a thread on old EC and there were a handful of people trying to lose weight this summer.

Have you made any more progress? Anyone starting to try who wasn't back then?

What are your methods and routines? What is your diet like?

I really wish that German vegetarian poster from KC that yelled at people for avoiding carbs was here. That was always really fun.

Personally, I think my goal of 19 bmi was a bad idea. I don't think there's much health benefit of being that compared to 21 or 22. I weigh what I did at 13 years old now. I'm really happy about that but while it looks good for my stomach it looks worse in other places. I'm probably going to stop here.

I'm most interested in the Finn who had a goal he wanted to reach by July.

Soon it will be that time again, Ernst: Radio Ernstiwan will celebrate its 3rd birthday on the 3rd of September, and of course we will have a streaming festival on that occasion. Since this will be a weekend the obvious date for the festival is Friday 2nd to Sunday 4th of September. The propaganda ministry already created this cheerful advertising, I can already feel the party starting just by looking at it. Put your stream announcements in the thread, the more flexible you are concerning date and duration, the more easier the planning process will be. For now I plan with the following assumptions:

Please note that the schedule is UTC+2 #justGermanThings

- One streaming channel, no two parallel streams. If this will not result in sufficient slots it can be changed during planning.
- The Weekly Album Stream is locked for saturday, and if Ernstalbum happens it will again be broadcast on sunday evening.
- No planning for graveyard shift and early morning/noon, unless someone insists. I think early afternoon is a good time to start on Saturday/Sunday.
- Bernd will be invited to participate, just like the last time
- Base duration for a stream 2 hours. Of course you can also have more if possible, but priority is that everyone gets a slot, so if you have announced a longer stream and the schedule is tightly packed, then expect me to nag at you if you can shorten your stream.
- If someone else wants to do the laudatio on Friday feel free. If no one volunteers I'll do it again. wieder.

I'm currently reading a dating advice book because I want to get off the dating ride and back into a healthy relationship. This time without ending up in a relationship with a woman where either I'm not interested or she's not interested. As cringe as it is to even be reading such a book it gave me a thought exercise to do in narrowing down the kind of partner you might want to attract and where they might be found.

You might enjoy taking a stab at it and seeing what you end up with.

>What I recommend to every man before he even begins talking to women is to sit down for a while and ask himself some questions:

>A. What do you value in a woman? Honesty? Affection? Intelligence? Curiosity? Similar interests? Education?
>B. Women with the traits that you value, where do they frequent? Where are you most likely to find them?
>C. What do you enjoy doing most? Do you love to read/write? Do you play music? Do you enjoy sports and competitions? What are events or organizations that you can become involved in that explore your hobbies?

For me, I got.

A. A charming personality, the kind of woman who lights up a room and you feel energised just talking to her.

B. Perhaps an acting troupe or evening art class. Clown college?

C. Fug, I'm antisocial. I do like to read, listen to music, discuss international relations and go on walks but I like to be alone. I guess I should pick up a hobby or 12.

Do any Ernsts enjoy birding here? Recently I've been getting into it. About two weeks ago I bought a cheap bird feeder at tractor supply and hung it in my backyard. At first nothing bothered with the feeder, but slowly a number of birds began to take notice. Now I have chipping sparrows, house sparrows, house finches, northern cardinals, and gray catbirds visiting the feeder. I also leave a bowl of water on the ground for american robins and european starlings, which I change every morning. Unfortunately, I do not have a decent camera so I cannot provide images of my backyard visitors. Here are some photos I found using google images.

Do you like (or liked) Lego, Ernst? I used to be a huge fan since 1994, when dad brought me my first set — 8818 Dune Buggy — from Germany, and up until 1999, when I bought my last set — 8204 Sky Flier. Then I started losing interest somewhat because of electronic entertainment like videogames becoming more popular, then Lego started to produce licensed themes like Star Wars which I've seen as betrayal and selling-out, and then Lego went into a direction which killed my interesting in it completely by introducing Bionicle, which didn't really fit either System or Technic (and I don't care what some people say, I still don't consider Bionicle a subtheme of Technic). So, I gave all my Lego to my cousin and for around twenty years I pretty much forgot about it. But a couple of months ago I went to my aunt's and found out that my cousin (who also got bored with Lego a couple of years after me) started getting back into Lego: he bought several new Technic sets (42093 Chevrolet Corvette, 42107 Ducati Panigale plus several smaller ones), and they impressed me quite a bit. Nostalgia hit me hard, and I started checking out new Lego myself out of curiosity. I found out that there are actually some new themes that are of interest to me, like Creator, Ideas and Architecture, and finally I gave in and bought this 31109 Pirate Ship.

So, Ernst, share your Lego stories if you have any, meanwhile I'll be building my ship and maybe post some photos. If this threda wouldn't be of interest to you, I'll just let it die and won't post about Lego anymore.

If all goes well the album will be published during a live broadcast at our next birthday festival (likely the weekend Sep 2-4). You can post your songs in the thread or send them to me via mail (ernstiwan at protonmail ch - if you don't want to spoil anyone before the festival). In any case: Post if you have something ready even if you don't post the song itself in order to raise peer pressure :DD

I have a question: "Wann ist der Unterricht aus?"
Can I answer like this: "Der Unterricht ist um 10 Uhr aus."?
Thank you for your answers!

In your language, what do you think is a weird combination of things that are called the same?

In German, both of these pictures show a Bremse, and I'm sure there are lots more to find if I start looking.

Should they be abolished? They wield immense power and are basically unelected antidemocratic power structures, which outlive elected officials. There is no control, they majorly fuck up all the time, e.g. in the case of terrorism either by looking away, getting caught with their pants down or even supporting them, like the NSU in Germany or Al Qaida in the US.

Then there are the military intelligence services, you always hear about the CIA, NSA, Mossad, BND or whatever, but basically every country has three branches of intelligence services: foreign, domestic and militaric. And theres almost never any good OSINT on them. Which makes you start to think what they (yeah) are doing.

If people would know what happens beyond the tidbits, which sometimes flow to the surface, I think there would be constant rioting for months. There is no way that they are compatible with a transparent democracy.

Hello mysterious raiding gentlemen.

Can you please raid britfa.gs instead? They actually deserve it for being humourless, stuck-up, boring gits.

Kind regards,

Ernst.

Do you love your country, Ernst? Are you glad you were born were you did? Do you like your fellow citizens?
Are there 'national traits' of culture and civil society that you personally enjoy? Are there things you despise about your own people?

Let us begin. It seems that this is a topic which interests a good many people here and seems to frequently bleed into places like the dreams thread. Come let us gather to banish the evils and further the EC tier monkish order.

Ernst, let's have a thread about the small things that happen or that you do that you still feel like sharing.
Small-scale celebration of the seemingly insignificant is the name of the game here.

Penis joges allowed but looked down upon EC style

I'll start just to give an example:

When I empty a glass of jam there usually is this feeling of not wanting to waste the scraps that I can't get out with a spoon. A small annoyance, certainly.
But I keep those around for a day or two until the next time I make myself a Müsli, then I pour milk in the mostly-empty glass of jam, shake it wildly and pour the sweetened concoction over my Müsli instead of just fresh milk.

A small annoyance turned into a small joy. I bet I have a smug grin while doing it, too, but I've never done it infront of a mirror.

Do you have a reputation, accurate or not, that influences how people perceive and approach you?

I seem to be seen as a liar or bullshitter. My own mother didn't believe me when I told her where to find the pepper in the kitchen. Granted, it was not my kitchen, but one I've been using often over the past six years.

Also, people who meet me the first time (or even years later) online, often react with "really?", no matter what kind of mundane things I post.

Inb4 multiple posts of "really"

Both of these things hit me especially hard, since my memory is just about the only thing in my brain that works the way it's supposed to.

What websites does Ernst frequent other than EC?

I used to spend a lot of time on different topic related internet forums and websites but then i got a slave to chans somewhere around 2006 or 2007 and i left the other internet behind.

Nowadays are Nu-EC, Youtube, Wikipedia and, as a guilty pleasure of mine, Reddit the only sites i regularely visit (next to some porn sites)

I have no idea where the hate for Reddit comes from by the way, if you ignore the comments underneath the content there are some pretty fun subreddits.

(I know that this thread might look like it's made by an immature specimen that does not know how humanity works, which is absolutely true.)
I want to ask Ernst about attention seekers and about the ways to effectively deal with them.
First i wanted to describe what sort of person i usually call an attention whore.
An attention whore:

>Talks a lot about meaningless stuff and himself.
>Will start an argument over nothing.
>Will gaslight you and play a victim.
>Will troll with stupidity and shitposts.
>Surrounds himself with weak-minded people who are somehow impressed with his behavior.
>Extremely materialistic and superficial.
>Has masochistic tendencies.

Now the last point i would like to elaborate on. An attention seeker LOVES when someone beats the crap out of him. He likes being a victim, he likes being insulted, assaulted, he literally enjoys it. Such a person will commit a mass shooting or a suicide or both, with one sole goal: to get noticed.
He's extremely primitive and lacks any common sense. He's highly reactive to the outside stimuli, very emotional and predictable. An ultimate normie with a flaccid ego that controls his every action.

Now here is the question Ernst. How do you defeat a person that will go out his way to get noticed?
If you talk to him - you lose.
If you beat the shit out of him - you lose.
If you kill him - you lose.
If you try to ignore him - he will think that you are weak and will double down on his efforts up until you are basically forced to do one of the 3 options mentioned above.

Case in point: LGBT alphabet crowd, incels, feminists, various journalists, etc etc. All these people share the same qualities of an attention seekers.

Is the solution for this - just being always in control and being a stone cold robot?
How do you deal with them?

Other germans = slow
Me = fast

Have you ever tried to collect rocks?
I've been thinking i might wanna start collecting them because i have nothing else to do with my pointless shitty life.
If you have any suggestions which gems should i start with it's welcome.
Also post your collections even if it's not rocks.

EC might be one of the last polite places left on the internet, it might be one of the last places where you can disagree with someone without the namecalling, meme replies or gaslighting that goes on.

You ever hear of dead internet theory? It's the idea that the internet basically died around 2012 and what we have now is basically a dead internet populated by bots and autoresponses, and only a handful of real people left on it.

EC is one of the few places that feels actually alive in a dead internet even though it is slow and often quiet. I often don't agree with a lot of opinions here be they in the today thread or Ukraine war thread but at the same time it feels like I'm reading things written by actual people, instead of bots going through the motions

So you guys should cherish EC, because it is a candle in the dark

Freelance frontline journalist, reporting from the russian side.

He actually goes to the people, talking to them and reporting. He is crowdfunded, so consider donating. The guy is a fucking hero!

What all the refugees from Mariupol he interviews confirm is that AZOV is shooting at civilians and army that try to surrender, that they are holding the civilians hostage and that many of the shootings of buildings were done by AZOV.

That came partially through in a german broadcast too. Back then from Kiev. The German journalist was telling the people how Russians and Ukrainians were shooting at each other and the Ukrainians kept hitting residential buildings every now and then. But he kept explaining that away with their not up to standard weapons.

I don't think so anymore. I think that's strategy to play the victim and get more weapons.

Here we discuss:

• Upcoming German-Polish war.
• African-Americans leeching off labor of Russian workers.
• Gayropeans having sex with elephants.
• Anarcho-communistic putinism.

And so on.

In this thread it's forbidden to:

• Be brainwashed by neoliberal propaganda.
• Discuss long-term consequences of abusive parenting.
• Mention m*ds.

Do anyone know what happened? All brazillans IBs and even 4chan and endchan are inaccessible to me. I changed DNS and still not working, later I'll try with Tor. I think it is a Cloudflare issue because non IB related are not working too

Previous >>69724

I highly recommend using cloudflare's csam scanning tool to stop illegal images from appearing on your site. It also helps to block proxies as well. I think as an imageboard community we can stop this shit but we need to start taking measures to put an end to it. If you want to step away from your board for awhile don't leave posting open. It will get spammed. Just put it in read only until you come back.

And yes, I'm posting this on all the imageboards I find. No I'm not a bot.

When I read the MIGs should depart from Rammstein, I almost had a heart attack! I thought the Americans had commanded it and Germany had to obey.

Then half an hour later the Americans declined and I finally figured out that the Poles are no idiots and actually saved us all! Holy shit!

Thank You Poland! I will never again question your intelligence!

Since Ernsts in general seem to have problems to condense complex thoughts into a more digestible, i.e. concise and precise form, let us try in this thread to hone the skill of laconic rhetorics.
In order to practice, we will try to produce short texts by abiding one of the following rules:

>Two sentences with a strict storytelling element, can be dialogue.
>One sentence with a strict storytelling element, i.e. no aphorisms. Also, no long clause/accesory sentence constructions.
>Haiku with the classic 5-7-5 pattern
>F-Scheme, follow a 8-5-3 pattern, thus warranting a progressively stronger condensation

The topic is free, it can be serious, but it can also be funny. Please refrain from Dadaism though, as it would be directly antithetical to the task.
Since I made up these rules, I will also start with some shitty examples; I am not really creative at the moment:

"Why can you not be more like your brother?", my mom used to say. I never liked visiting his grave.

I watched a nude lady posing for a photographer, which I enjoyed, right until I drove my bike into a ditch (true story btw)

Hearing my cellphone
It plays the ringtone I set
Ah shit! Wrong button!

The taste is like piss

I read a thread that most germans on int over at kc are not real germans.

There's one who was a total rager at me and hence why i'm banned. I think he knows Helmut.

Another possible feature of this guy is he is obsessed with trashing Drachenlord. Why this interests me is Kohlchan began a campaign to call me schizo which succeeded. This is where Zioshit, turkroaches and Balkanfags also played their part.

Who is this aggresively lying german on kc? The impulse to aggresively slander opposition is very strong with this guy, and he's obsessed with establishing that and he gets away with it in the exact same way the state gets away with collaborating against Drachenlord. Why this pdece of shit is never attacked doesn't make sense.

A sidekick mod is someone called Tjark who appears to be a US-Chinese asian in Ukraine.

One "German" known is apparently a half Brit who is bald and is never banned, but tries to run the int site. It could be the same guy.

Pic is included to show the escalation. Now he's trying to say, after the network across these sites kept up attacks constantly against me, he is blaming the targets of his shitdumping mods and minions, should be removed from the internet.

As always this little shitbastard slides under everyone's radar with his secret campaign/agenda.

He either is a scholz guy, but Helmut is now speculated to be a Russian.

Is there some kind of Brit-Russian thing going on with US-Chinese and zioshit on the side on kc?

Why y'all sound like pretentious college kids?

Here's a thread where Ernsts may share their dreams.

Mines are mostly boring, mildly erotic where a girl that I used to know or not rejects me before or after sex. But I have the luck to dream a lot, so sometimes there are strange pearls.

Semyon Skepakov, a famous satirical singer, has created a new music video about vaccination against COVID-19. Absolutely priceless, as far as the political situation and public opinions in Russia go.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmX6Hmrwd0E

Hello, brethren,
Hello, sistren.
I want to tell you:
The life isn't easy now.
Take me, for example:
I'm guarding the doors
In our ugly
City hall of Pyatigorsk, (Hey!)

Overall everything is fine,
Though I'm a bit fed up with it,
I've got a nice salary,
Even if it's very small,
In general, I'm satisfied
And shouldn't complain -
Am I a woman of some kind
Or maybe a homosexual? (Knock on wood!)

In the morning I go to work,
Drinking beer in the evening,
On Saturdays I go to the bathouse,
Have sex once a week, (A man!)
Ass on a sofa,
Football on TV, (Good!)
Putin is a cool guy,
Biden is full of shit. (Sure!)

A nice pattern,
No need to strain yourself,
But here, friends,
Comes one problem.
For a whole year
I'm trying to find an answer:
Should I take this damned vaccine
Or not...
Or not... (No, sure one should take it.)
Or not... (One totally should!)
Or not... (But the side effects it has!..)
Or not... (Here's my opinion: one should either take it...)
Or not...

My colleague had a jab
And fell sick at once, (Got it?)
Another didn't have it
And fell sick as well.
But the one who didn't have it
Is in an ICU now, (Here you are!)
And the one who had it
Has gone bald in a single day.

The mayor passed by and sternly
Told me "get your shot!"
And the vice mayor silently
Whispered to me "don't!"
My mother-in-law told me
That my dick will stop working,
Then I may have the jab,
It won't get any fucking worse.

But here my neighbor scientist
Showed me a video
Where because of the vaccine
A rabbit shits blood, (Wow!)
And told me: "The vaccine
Is a poison for an individual."
And then a week later
He died from COVID.

Overall, after processing
All the facts and opinions,
No more doubts
Have remained.
The final answer has been found! (What?)
One must get vaccinated,
One surely must,
Everyone definitely must get vaccinated...
Or not. (Tanya! You should do it!)
Or not...

Do it! Do it!
One surely should do it!
Definitely, surely everyone must get vaccinated right away, (One can win an apartment!)
Or not...
Do it! Do it!
Putin himself has done it!
He told himself that he'd done it,
If he told that then it means he did it,
Surely he did it,
Or not... (He did of course.)
Or not... (If he told so then he did it.)
Or not... (But it was shown on TV!)
Or not... (The very moment of taking the jab hasn't been shown.)
Or not... (What reasons does he have to lie?)

All in all, I'd likely
Split in two,
If it weren't for our
Resolute authorities.
They suddenly got angry
And told: Enough!
Your irresponsibility
Won't work anymore.

From now on
You, unvaccinated beasts,
Won't be allowed into bars, restaurants
And even into fucking shops.
Overall, we're tired of this nonsence,
And since the New Year we are introducing QR codes,
Definitely introducing QR codes for everybody...
...
Or not. (Fuck!)
Or not...

Doing it, doing it,
100% sure about doing it,
Without pampering anyone we'll do it just like that,
Introducing QR codes...
Or not.

Doing it, doing it,
Doing it without any preludes,
Coming to you from behind, bending you and bringing in
The QR codes, (They force everyone into a digital concentration camp!)
Or not... (What do you fucking mean "not"? They told it would be done!)
Or not... (How come it isn't, Gosduma has already voted for it!)
Or not... (Tanya, Gosduma has already voted for it!)
Or not... (Then why the fuck I've bought it?)
Or not... (You fools, it's going to be recognized even in Australia!)
Or not... (I'm baptized!)
(Tanya!)
(Get off me!)
Or not... (I'm leaving you!)
Or not... (Sobyanin has been vaccinated three times!)
(Fuck...)

Is there an efficient way to store links, notes, and files? I use a computer at least 10 hours a day, and I have plenty of things to save - books, notes, article links, youtube links, etc. Simply saving them doesn't help because at some point you have too many of them. I'd like to have some kind of app/website to organize my stuff(files, links, notes), with the possibility to give them some hashtags and, maybe, priority or other metadata. Can Ernst recommend me something that suits my needs?

Hardware, software, tech news, programming, operating systems, retro computing, we've got it all.

Kinder, kommt und ratet,
was im Ofen bratet!
Hört, wie’s knallt und zischt.
Bald wird er aufgetischt,
der Zipfel, der Zapfel,
der Kipfel, der Kapfel,
der gelbrote Apfel.

KC dood, wat nou?

Check'em

Hello. I am happy to announce that in collaboration with Radio Ernstiwan, we are launching Ernstchan Cinema. A streaming service by Ernst, for Ernst. Anyone will be able to transmit a movie, or a videogame directly to the stream, and viewers can go to the webpage and watch. Advanced technology allows the stream to be completely real time even with high ping. The stream will be available on the radio website at http://radio.ernstchan.xyz/videoview.php . The video box will activate when a stream is on.
For obvious safety reasons, we can't simply give out the streaming address publicly, so for now, we will give out access to the stream on a case by case basis. Here's how it works: you can leave a post in this thread, reserving a timeslot in UTC / GMT+0 (up to 2 hours in length), what you want to stream, and some contact address (email or something). Alternatively, you still leave your post (so others can see), and send a request to the contacts in the second post. We will serve you a temporary link that will let you stream through OBS. The link will expire after the given timeslot, so be punctual. Later, we will be implementing a script that will allow you to automatically receive links for a given timeslot.

We shall inaugurate Ernstchan Cinema with its very first stream on Saturday 23rd, right after the weekly album stream (around 19-20 UTC). October isn't over yet, so it is fitting that we should stream some horror movies. Look forward to Trick 'r Treat (2007) and Return Of The Living Dead (1985). Don't miss it!!!1

God, I want to fuck Croatia so hard.

Do you guys have any good Youtube channel recommendations? I find I watch a lot of YT while playing games and now it's at the stage where YT is recommending me shit I've already watched before

Some ones I'd recommend: Some are camping, some are ships, some are Warhammer etc.

Ernst is traveling to the USA soon. USA can confiscate your phone upon border entry and demand the pass code. Once they are at this stage, they have access to your whole life.

Ernst is not worried about child pornography and similar, because he does not do this shit. Worst case, they find a random photo of someone smoking a joint. I also used my phone once to download a torrent.

Of course, once border patrol has your phone, it is deemed compromised. But Ernst is no IT security geek. Ernst wants only the right level of protection.

Ernst was thinking of the following:

• Cloud share services: Use only in combination with 2FA
• Activate 2FA on Google (Ernst uses Android phone)
• Lock messenger apps like Signal or Telegram
• Delete all files on WhatsApp and messages before entering
• Delete Outlook app
• Install an App that shows all locally stored photos and documents so that Ernst can check for marijuana photos.

Is Ernst doing it correctly? Did Ernst miss something? Even if border patrol is recovering login and pass phrases, it is useless because of 2FA.

Does Ernst realise that Mezcal and Tequila is going to be the next whisky? Its becoming increasingly expensive and there are so much more brands now. You can also buy barrel-aged Mezcal or smoked ones. Lots of flavours and lots of potential tasting. Its yammy stuff. Often made from very small farming operations in Mexico, interesting.

Ernst, why is my download speed fluctuating so hard? I'm using Mullvad VPN, qBittorent and high quality torrents. It's running on a Windows 10 laptop with very good Wifi connection.

Shouldn't it be more of a smooth line?

Other internet activites on the same laptop are pretty fucked once I start torrents, however, internet works nicely on my phone.

Happy new year Ernst.

I heard you get banned here if you say "nigger".

What did you get for Christmas Ernst? What did you get for others?

I got Sherman tank slippers from the tank museum and some books on the paranormal that I wanted.

Are there any good magazines or similar things you follow?

I got the idea because i'm currently reading this and i like the idea:

https://journalofcontroversialideas.org/volumes_issues/1

Wikipedia says:
"The Journal of Controversial Ideas is a cross-disciplinary, peer-reviewed academic journal that aims to allow academics to publish using pseudonyms if they request it.[1][2] Established in 2018 by philosophers Francesca Minerva, Jeff McMahan, and Peter Singer, the journal began accepting submissions on 20 April 2020.[3] According to McMahan, the journal is needed because of the fear among academics about publishing articles that support certain contentious positions.[4] Minerva came up with the idea after experiencing death threats and difficulty finding employment because of an article she wrote on the ethics of newborn infanticide."

I hope it's not getting too /pol/ tier, but for now i stay interested.

Also, i (unironically) read the High Times every now and then since i'm 14 or so. They actually have some really interesting articles in there every now and then but i feel like it lost a lot of quality over the last 10 or so years.
I would definitely recommend a look into the "High Times Greats" category on their website.
https://hightimes.com/high-times-greats/

I also like the National Geographic.
Was subscribed to it but quit. Maybe i should re-subscribe someday.

Old thread is kill, this is the new Radio Ernstiwan thread. In case you're new: The best stream is The Weekly Album stream, the others can be ignored.

Share your musical taste and your seductive voice (no homo) with your fellow Ernsts, and help making this chan not only enojoyable for the eyes and mind, but also for the ears. As always, there are no restrictions whatsoever in what to stream. Just share what you like, every streamer has his own ideas and style, and it only makes the radio more interesting.

The radio is available here: http://radio.ernstchan.xyz:8000/

There's also a chat and a discord where you usually find people talking about gay porn and penguins during the streams.

https://discord.gg/UpXdrxG
http://ernst.bplaced.net/chat/blabax.php (You can register with an email or make a guest account which will tie your name to your IP. If you have a changing IP and want to keep your name register with email)

Connection data for the public stream: see pic 3. See also the beautifully crafted pic 2 and the infos on the radio page itself for additional details. Don't hesitate to ask if there's anything on your mind, there are lots of people around who have working streaming setups running and will be glad to help you out. You can see at the top of EC (below the banner) if a stream is on.

Happy listening/streaming!

thinking about moscow but it seems like getting a visa is a pita

mostly interested in historical sites, museums, etc. im too autistic to go clubbing n shit

Did any Ernst here successfully stopped with porn and with capping (for the most part, doesn't need to be not rapping at all, just a more normal level)?

Please tell me your secrets. I basically can't go to sleep without doing it anymore.

I feel like this board with its long-ass threads is a variant of the continuity lock-out for newcomers, or just people who noticed a thread relevant to their interests too late.

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ContinuityLockOut

>...occurs when it becomes impossible for someone to get into a series in the middle, because the story to that point has become so thick and convoluted that a newcomer will have very little chance of understanding the significance of anything.

I'm not telling you to stop, I'm making an observation. Might even be only my point of view in the entire world, but I had to say it.

Pic unrelated.

what the fuck is this board even and how it's different from kacey, kacey-2 and 4keks?
No i wont go back, fuck you

Which part of Europe would you like to be in during the absolute deepest pit of the Dark Ages?

Ernst, how can a cyber attack be "minutes away" from shutting down Australias power supply?

Is there any possible exaplanation, that this comment is factually correct?

Ernst tries to imagine how IT people in the electricity company are able to detect an intrusion and stop the attack, knowing that they did so just in time?

Do power companies have some sort of intrusion detection system? Are they scanning incoming and outcoming IPs? Did they realise that there is an open connection to a Chinese IP through the MSSQL port? Did they shut down their internet connection to investigate? How do they know what exactly the attackers had planned?

Or were the attackers already in the system (e.g., weak teamviewer password), and trying to get access to the internal control panel through bruteforce?

The claim was made by the following politician. Would he have a reason to lie?

Joshua Anthony Frydenberg is an Australian politician who has been federal treasurer and deputy leader of the Liberal Party since August 2018. He has been a Member of Parliament for Kooyong since the 2010 election.

Since there were talks about IWOs in the last Today thread, I am now opening the official IWO thread in order to not clutter the current Today thread. Put your not-full-blown-400-pictures-IWOs here.

Like that german in the other thread I also was at the seaside (kinda). I was certainly in the North. Sadly because I am a dumbass I forgot to take my camera most of the time, so apart from a few shots from the seaside I only have shitty cellphone shots and nevermind the picture numbering, they're not chronological.

1. Highway toilet that usually shows ads. Funny enough, on the way back home, in another toilet, I encountered another toilet like that, but it was complaining about connecting to Android or something.
2. Our hotel. "Recommended by ADAC", the german automobile association. Judging by the logo, the sign is way older than me, but I thought it added to the charm of the hotel.
3. Same with the room. Everything there was probably older than me, apart from the TV. There was also this built-in radio that kinda worked one day, but didn't anymore the other day. Also, according to the brochure, every room has a telephone, but while I found a telephone plug, there wasn't one. Also, the tv channel chart wasn't up to date, but then again, I zapped through the channels for like five minutes and already felt the hate rise. I am glad I don't watch tv anymore.

The beds were separate and fastened to opposite walls. Shame I couldn't get a double bed anymore, but it was all really last-minute, so I just took the cheapest, closest hotel to where I had to go that I could find.
The empty bottles were build up over the course of a few days, we didn't binge drink or anything.
Also, they only had those dumb lamps that you switch on and through different brightness stages by touching them. Problem is, eventually they also react to vibrations, so e.g. when walking through the room. Once at night someone was just closing a door further down the hall and the lamp switched on. I unplugged them and everything was good from then on.

4. The bathroom. Functional, pretty clean, apart from the charmingly rusted shelf thing on the left. But then again, I doubt they have ever cleaned the ventilation thing.

In the last few weeks/month Ernst had a lot of fun playing Counter-Strike with other Ernsts.
Sadly, most Ernsts that take part in those games are from /b/ so i try to do some promotion here again after the last time wasn't very succesfull.

Some quick informations:

1. We already have people from multiple skill groups in our ranks, this includes people who wouldn't win a 1v1 against my grandma which means there's no reason to be ashamed to be bad, it's pure love in our group :3
2. CSGO is free, we prefer playing in Prime mode for which you have to pay or you need to play a lot to get it for free. If you just want to try it out we're willing to play non Prime with you a bit.
3. If you already play CSGO and have a rank above MG1 it might be a good idea to create a smurf account.
4. The group is not exclusively made to play CSGO with ernst but it is primarily used for this at the moment, you can join and ask if someone wants to play something else with you.
5. Every reason you think you have not to join is wrong.

proccia ernsts pls give me images and descriptions of what russia is like at it's heart, or just generally the slavic east, ukraineposters, belarus etc, what do your deepest most treasured childhood memories consist of, what is your home like in your mind, what do you remember seeing in history books, or glimpses of memory, etcetera; what is so overcharacteristically, stereotypically russian in a positive sense that it might come to mind if your country would come across in a major motion picture or something, even a rural part, that it might be recognizable to people of alls the worlds? thnx
