There is something much bigger than just the Ruskies having issues as implied here ITT >>58014.
Just read the stickie on Kayceys /int/.
This was anticipated and Helmut gave you a way to circumvent your governments actions.
Not only were you Ruskies BTFO by your own gov there, the rest of Kaycey is compromised imo as the canary on the Kohlmine was culled as well.

t. otally not a p*do poaster
I only poasted a handfull of lolis on new Kayceys /int/.
I lieked how p*dos were not allowed where Bernd is identified on a poastermap and were segrigated onto /b/ on old Kaycey.
Still tho, a couple of canaries just died.
Tread carefully.
I would gib moar details but this threda will be here for yrs to come and I would rather my poast self destruct within 24 hrs.

I would like to have a thread to discuss various types of architecture.
There are lots of oddities out there, and many interesting things to talk about.
I think that I will make some stream-of-consciousness posts.

Earl Young was an American architect who, without formal training, developed his own regional style in the midwestern united states.

Earl used nothing but local materials, and his homes look very romantically medieval, but with modern fixtures. They have been called "mushroom homes", or "hobbit homes".

How do we find the kingdom of Heaven from within, as Jesus spake? me have deep and tumultuous psych problems which are affecting my body adversely and more specifically the gut (IBS), and medication is just making me suffer too. I am thinking if we accessed our kingdoms from within, we could conquer our personal demons which afflict us all, and yes I am willing to believe this thing but I do not know how to access it and Jesus is kinda vague, so, I humbly request your help Ernst.

>The problem is that the very material realities of our world and the biological realities of being a human being are two never ending sources of suffering. It's unavoidable.

This is nothing contrary to the Christian view of the world ("biological realities" which lead to human suffering is just a secular description of "fallen human nature").

Gnosticism is fine and all, but the Brahman pill is greater. There is no self or other, all consciousness is manifestation of the same being. This applies as well to any possible creator being. Hating him is as not-right as hating your fellow man, regardless of their deeds. But obsessive concern with the desires of such a being is also not-right.

Furthermore, concern with the afterlife is not-right. As consciousness embodied in animal form, we are of course concerned with death. But being continues regardless, and if you glimpse the divine reality, you see that your animal fears are unimportant.

I am currently living in Heaven figuratively speaking and I am still not happy. I feel like everything could be absolutely perfect in my life and I still wouldn't be satisfied. I am seeking serenity, I want to find my kingdom within and as I read about religious texts I remain convinced that the way my soul works concludes that heaven isn't a place for me because the abrahamic books says that everyone in heaven will always be happy. Does this mean I will get to hell? Then I started to question if heaven in the afterlife is absolute or just relative. If it is relative then obviously I can stop worrying because a heaven to me would just be an interim state, like soul sleep or what the muslims call barzakh. My soul will be void of feelings and I wont feel anything so I wont be happy nor miserable.

I’m in some idiotic department store again, with my friend looking at headphones. It’s not a gaudy looking mall at least, it’s street level and well lit but still there’s nothing to do but consume. I leave my friend to whatever he’s up to and motion towards the clothing aisle where Trotsky is looking at a Guayabera. He shows it to me “Look, you think this’ll do?” Is he foreshadowing his move to Latin America with this? His hair is already white, it must be time. He reverses the shirt and shows me the label “JF” in stylised letters with the smaller text saying “Jomon Faudi”. But it won’t do. “Leva, you won’t stop being recognisable just because you have changed your style. You haven’t even shaved off your goatee yet.” I also haven’t parted with my facial hair, even though it’s getting ridiculous. “You need to stop wasting time with this shit and move to Mexico”. I know what’s going to happen to him in Mexico, but we all have to play our parts in history. It’s more interesting than Spain anyway. The track on the store speakers change: "Here's to you Nicola and Bart..."

I see that right next to us my friend managed to get a seat in the cafe section right next to us, just a few metres away. We both sit down and I keep yammering Trotsky on what he needs to do - and I add “Look, we’re trying to help you we’re not the fucking Spanish Inquisition”. At that instant I look at my left and standing next to us is… the Spanish Inquisition. They are wearing blue though. I say hi, but they appear to ignore both me and Trotsky - when my friend says Hola they do get talking, I guess they don’t give a fuck about two foreigners. My faceless friend motions to his wallets, and seeing what he does I mimic him and give the dudes a $2 silver coin from my pocket. Of course, religion has become a travesty of itself and it’s no surprise the ominously dressed dudes were in fact just begging for money under the excuse of some charity or whatever. For the “donation” they give us the fried pieces of chicken they’re selling - it’s just a tiny strip of breaded chicken, but anyway it’s in front of me and I’ll eat it. I taste it and it’s the exact same taste as the perfectly fried pork cutlet I had in that Michelin starred tonkotsu place in Tokyo. I inhale the aroma and feel that just so slightly vinegary apple sauce contrasting with the perfectly crisp meat on my tongue.

The scents, the songs and the places.

Techno hipster trying to solve a problem by creating something that can't be "abused" because it isn't "extensible" instead of just doing http and messing around with RSS and other XML. It is funny because most of the creators has RSS feeds on their sites using http.

Anyway it has content unlike most professional sites out there today and if the creator hasn't bothered to do a gemeni site the html site in it self is usually interesting.

I hope you know about https://gemini.circumlunar.space/ otherwise you are doomed to not find anything.

https://webring.xxiivv.com/ might be a good start since the community, to use a popular word, the site is part of is heavy into strange and interesting stuff. But the thing is that it is supposed to be like the internet used to be before it went to shit (TM), so finding stuff will take time like in the good old days (TM).

I'm fascinated by ability to be butthurt about non-important or even good things.
It's great that normies appreciate science, because it's the reason why they live long, work few (if sitting in office can be considered work) and have a lot of fun. Also for them it's like religion, but THE ONE THAT ACTUALLY WORKS. [tips fedora] It's miracles are seen IRL, not like "desert herders wrote about it in their book, it must be true".[untips fedora]

> If you think geeks are so sexy or cool, bang one. Go to any university and find a computer or physics lab at 2AM and take your pick. Until then, go commit cultural fraud someplace else, and take your phony "I fucking love science" group with you.

Once a girl considered me normie and a complete disappointment and lost all interest to me because I preferred easy $$$ career instead of being fundamental researcher (unlike her). But I really had my reasons.
Also this crazy bitch had nazi fetish (while being afraid of intimacy irl), liked fashion tv shows (while dressing up irl like a nerd boy) and was into shoplifting. The comparison with Asuka is obvious, and she mentioned it by herself.

Also I think your main thing is spending too much time on the internet especially around fatposters. There's not that much of that meme irl im spite of what 4kanker retards like telling you, and where it does exist is pretty much nothing more than cultural Americanism turning everything into cancer that it touches. Religion, politics, video game industry, food, pretty much everything about that meme is only cancerous solely because of crass lowbrow commercialism infecting literally everything else here.

I once saw someone here talking about how turbo Capitalism looks in a country where Communism already utterly destroyed its cultural legacy. I think ours is what that looks like when you didn't have much of one to begin with, the result of which is turning everything into some faggoty identity and every faggoty identity merely being an extension of brand name affiliation. Case in point, you are clearly talking about a very specific type of annoying normalfag redditor spouting Rick and Morty memes, which is funny because then the person is so toxic and annoying some people end up hating the show even though nothing is wrong with it, in similar manner to them hating Christianity even though there's nothing wrong with it because how cancerous and vile many non-Catholic American Christians are.

This one's about a terrorist. Pretty fun song: "heroin at night, hexogen in the morning", heh.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8B2m9pnac0
Somewhat Christian (but not really) song about heavens. I like the chorus for some reason.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3aCpHylyLQ
Possibly their prettiest song. It's about monarchy or somesuch, but whatever, it's nice.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcJNYwo6K24
This one gives fantasy vibes. If this one was performed by Dio with Rainbow, it would totally kick ass, but it's still pretty good as it is.

>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4Txh_ezGmE

Basically, Maiden's Aces High, but about Soviet bomber crew instead of Brit Spitfire wankers. Not a bad song. I also was surprised to hear it in one of the Flash porn "games" of 00's.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cdsqx-djRH0
This one got covered by fucking Rammstein of all people. Really dark lyrics about cannibalism.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPAP67ywwM4
A power ballad. Maybe it's not Beyond the Realms of Death or Cemetery Gates, but it's still good.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYfSYNgFkfI
Another ballad. This version is with a symphonic orchestra, "we wanna be Metallica", yeah. It was spammed incessantly on Russian music TV channels in the 00's, and if it was just a little bit shittier, I would probably hate it as much as Nickelback's "How You Remind Me". It barely avoided that fate.

>Кpyиз

The first time I heard these guys was on a Soviet vinyl I found in my aunt's collection (dunno why she had it, probably just grabbed any music she could get). The audio quality was atrocious due to vinyl's wear (audiophools who say that vinyls are better should go fuck themselves), the twelve years old me still loved it. Also, their guitarist Valery Gaina had everything to become the Soviet Steve Vai, but something went wrong, and he's largely forgotten now.

This one's about a terrorist. Pretty fun song: "heroin at night, hexogen in the morning", heh.

Somewhat Christian (but not really) song about heavens. I like the chorus for some reason.

Good to know that is not only a brazilian phenomenon.

>Why don't you do a trade and end the bs? The too old argument, but does that really apply in the trade you want to do?

Because if you closely read my post, you will notice that I have been involved in university stuff for over ten years now and I most certainly will not start an apprenticeship when I have a PhD. It's not like I don't like my line of work or don't earn any money, but with respect to what amount of work I had to put in, it wasn't worth it, but the major point is simply that university is not like it was decades ago. Having a (rather worthless) bachelor's degree is like having Abitur twenty years ago.
With the need for more university degrees they didn't do anything to have better education, they just lowered the standards. Trades are not glamorous, and every half-brained monkey needs to go to university.
That leads to people - born and grown up in Germany - not being able to form a straight sentence. I don't even look for orthography and punctuation anymore. You get people who would probably be overchallenged pushing a button in a factory. I mean, we were already pretty dumb, but those people I had the misfortune of having to supervise are really not fit for anything beyond the very simplest tasks. Once I had to show one of them how to use a sponge to clean something (practical lab course). And that is only one factor; the other is uni politics in general, especially over the last year we could perfectly see how everyone wants to cover their ass and not take any responsibility whatsoever, so all the institutes were left on their own. I could also never be a professor because that means having to play by those politics and kissing asses and attending all those bullshit meetings and events. Of course you have those cases were someone is built from the ground up, doing their Diploma, their PhD and then they get fast-tracked to Junior Professor. Or when a woman is being passed around as an example of women in science just because she's a woman. I mean, she's smart enough to grab all the goodies that come with it, but she also damn well knows why she's being presented everywhere.
Then you of course have the anglo-invented principle of "publish or perish". I have exactly two first author publications. Of course, I am co-author on like 15 or 20 more, but that doesn't matter. People will fabricate results to get more funds or to just not get their funds cut. There is a culture of competition among scientists and I don't like that. In my opinion knowledge is there to be shared and university research should be a collaborative effort of everyone. I get that a pharma company will keep hush-hush and not tell anyone and do their thing because naturally they need to sell that shit after all that R&D, but that's industry, and uni is not industry and I hate how everyone is forced to go forth. Science is not always positive results. You can conduct research for years and still land at a dead end without any fault of yours. But in my opinion this should be as valid as a positive results because you can say "we tried this and that and nothing came out of it, so we can say that all this stuff doesn't work" - provided your methodology was sound, of course.

Sorry you had to read my unstructured ramblings, I probably forgot a lot of things I wanted to say. I am tired and angry.
