Played too much Balatro yesterday night so I had a dream where I was playing something similar except I had to combine several VN-style dialogue options that were different colors and had different values to score the most points.

In the second dream I went to exercise in my old school gym but when I went into the locker room to change some small kids started bullying me. They wanted me to give them cocaine but they were so annoying that I left. On the way back I saw a group of Chinese bodybuilders, including one who had a pair of nipples on his back. Also I lost my scarf and a milf picked it up and gave it to me.

I was in a haunted place with a girl. A spirit kept trying to take her, so after like three attemots, as the spirit posessed a bottle of alcohol I cut it in half with a swit, stabbed it down and then drowned it in holy water.

Afterwards I had some drinks in celebration and went out for a walk, but I got too drunk and I fell on the ground right in front of my hotel, looking up at the sky. I kept mixing up the moon and a streetlight. The lobby man of the hotel, who was japanese helped me up, though we communicated in Chinese until he asked me to switch to English instead.
Anyway I changed out of my clothes and went to the gym where I ran into the girl who I asked out but told me it’s not gonna work.
Then the dream sorta switched to a sci-fi version of the exorcism dream because I was tasked with breaking out of a metaverse that the hotel runs.
That part of the dream was never completed because I ended up at the Berlin Wagner Museum where I used my impeccable German to buy a ticked to one of the exhibitions as I waited for a concert to happen.

I genuinely don’t know what’s going on that I am having these insane dreams again where I’m an actively participating protagonist.

The other day I dreamed I was in some evil company type skyscraper building which was the party HQ of the FDP (so kind of nightmareish) and I got stuck in a buerocratic loop there until a young woman belonging to the JuLis (FDP youth organisation) peed on my foot in a sexual way.

This is the Radio Ernstiwan-thread. The server stays the same, but is now reachable at:

radio.ernstchan.top

It is recommended to switch to this address for both listening and streaming, though the old xyz-domain is still supported from our side. But given what happened on the old chan we can't guarantee that the xyz-address will be kept available for us. Also all technical/festival announcements by radio staff will be made here from now on.

Everything else stays the same: The public stream can be used by everyone (see pic 4 for details), but if you stream regularly, an own account is recommended, write a mail to ernstiwan at protonmail.ch to get one. Include your desired user name and ideally (though optional) an avatar picture for the radio stats page. Reliable and production proven streaming software is butt: https://sourceforge.net/projects/butt/ (lightweight and easy to use, but lacks some features like updating artist/title) and mixxx: https://mixxx.org/ (can do it all, but setup is more complicated).

Also please remember that the radio recently switched from port 8000 to Port 80 (no SSL/TLS) and 443 (SSL/TLS mandatory).

I'd probably go with something by Márai. "Land.. Land!" is really good. Been meaning to read "Peace in Ithaca" for a while now.
I also like Krasznahorkai but I have not read any of his "major" books. The one with the really long title I'm too lazy to look up right now is my favourite from him. I think I have a really basic taste in Hungarian literature.
My favourite authors are just Arany–Babits–Márai. Poeta doctus authors who wrote for the well-mannered, moderately liberal middle-classes, who, aside from Arany suffered from decades of neglect both under nationalism and communism.

Péter Hajnóczy is also good, he was a massive alcoholic but nothing by him is translated I think. But "Death Rode out from Persia" is an amazing short little book.

Not very.
Afaik here Greek education peaked in the mid 1800s and then it slowly collapsed during the early 1900s when they first replaced it with reading the authors in translation and then removing it from the curriculum altogether except for select institutions where it was necessary, like priest training seminar schools.

Latin education is semi-common, but then again I have a massive selection bias due to the people I have interacted with over my life.
But the was majority of people do not study Greek or Latin. I myself only studied a year of Latin in college because it was obligatory when I joined up, Greek I took a year of out of curiosity but I have forgotten nearly all of it.

Finished this yesterday and liked it very much. The author has a vivid and clear style of explaining things, which makes this book very enjoyable to read. I also liked that he uses lots of primary sources and quotes of Ancient historians and poets like Thucydides, Herodotus and Homer.
It's probably not up to date scientifically considering its age, but it's still a good read and one gets a good grasp of Greek life and mentality around 500 BC.

Germany is now hated in all of Europe, because the German policy of "renewable" enviro-green bullshit drives electricity prices sky-high. Norway&Sweden will cut supply, because they are sick of paying for the stupidity of Germans, who are dumb enough to vote for a green party led by a trampoline-jumper and an author of children's literature.

Germany is the worst governed country in Europe and possibly the world.

A new wave of 'refugee' Syrians is going to arrive, and they will all stay in Germany, forever, living here for free, forever. They are basically free to not work, or to become career criminals. Even if they are criminals, they will not be deported, ever. Even if they go to jail, it will be like a hotel to them and they will only laugh about it.

The German press will keep telling the Germans lies about the Syrians.

They are intentionally slowing traffic on purpose by having buses stop in the street instead of bays and keeping traffic lights red for way too long. Them, they even add cycle lanes to make everything more congested.

They even close lanes!

Then, they lecture people in how much faster and more enviro-green everything is.

But everyone can see through it. It's just to make Europe third world again. Because enviro-green leftism just translates to poverty!

The arrogant self-righteous do-gooder cyclists never even use the cycle lanes, they are always in the road. Some of them do not even wear reflectives and helmets, but when they are run over, car drivers always get blamed!

Make the cyclists pay taxes and insurance and force them to have number plates, punish them for using roads instead of cycle lanes, them let us see how many cyclists there are!

The cycle-commutets who are it there to show everyone how much better they are in their home sexual fetish spandex clothing arrive at work sweaty and stinking, and their colleagues have to live with it! Why aren't cyclists fired?

Last year, an elderly driver had an accident in which a cyclist hour under his car. As you can see, the cyclist was just cycling in the road, not even inside a city, were cars go 100km/h at least, so the cyclist should be blamed, because he was clearly retarded and reckless, right?

TAKE ACTION v6.png (678.5 KB, 1232x3337)

Generations of people have been, and continue to be, inspired by pervasive violence: namely anorectal violence. Many perpetrators of this violence against one or more others especially in public pornography have not faced severe punishment despite both 1) the high likelihood of anorectal injury to a receptive person due to anorectal fragility, and 2) the significance and potential severity (even lethality) of resultant traumatic consequences. What arguably should easily be considered incriminating behavior worldwide is commonly featured in public pornography, in many cases being sold for profit and far too often serving as an example to be copied. This situation is both one of the greatest injustices and one of the greatest contributors to societal decadence in the modern era. Facilitating factors include prevalent (willful) ignorance, apathy, and misinformation about anorectal topics, which are enabling people with (self-)destructive tendencies to have a field day with anorectal violence and to spread disinformation quite effectively.

BTW: Please delete my last thread. Thanks.

"This study moved beyond previous investigations concerning the associations between pornography use and IPV [intimate partner violence] by using a sample of young adult couples from the community, examining the directionality of associations using a 2-year longitudinal design, and using a dyadic design considering both partners’ pornography use and IPV perpetration. The findings suggest potential bidirectional links between pornography use frequency and sexual coercion perpetration. This highlights the relevance of addressing pornography use frequency as an important risk factor of sexual coercion perpetration in prevention and intervention efforts targeting young adult mixed-sex couples, especially during this period in life where they are learning healthy romantic relationships. This supports the Sexual Script Theory (Simon & Gagnon, 1986) that young adults are at risk to reproduce violent pornographic scripts with their partner in real life leading to sexual IPV perpetration. Pornography literacy and teen dating sexual violence prevention programs may be beneficial to young adults to help them understand that sexual behaviors depicted in pornography may represent sexual violence and are not necessarily enjoyable for their partner, as opposed to what is shown in pornography (Dawson et al., 2020)."

"Violence against women, particularly sexual violence, poses a significant public health concern. Predispositions toward perpetrating such acts often stem from the acceptance of myths that justify or deny these behaviours. This study aimed to explore how dark personality traits (narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and sadism) and pornography consumption relate to the acceptance of these myths."
... "The acceptance of sexual aggression myths refers to generally false attitudes or beliefs that are widely accepted and used to deny or justify men’s aggressive behaviour against women (Lonsway and Fitzgerald, 1994). This set of attitudes or beliefs entails the denial of reality, minimization of the problem, and normalization of coercive attitudes (Gerger et al., 2007). All of this influences the normalization, facilitation, and execution of aggressive, hostile, and sexually violent behaviour towards women (Fernández-Fuertes et al., 2020; Samji and Vasquez, 2020; Trottier et al., 2021)."
... "The main aim of the present study was to clarify the relationships among the Dark Tetrad, pornography consumption, and the acceptance of sexual aggression myths by the use of variable and person-centred analyses. Our analysis reveals a clear association between higher pornography consumption, elevated Dark Tetrad traits, and increased acceptance of sexual aggression myths. This pattern suggests underlying mechanisms worth exploring further."
"In a latent profile analysis, we identified three distinct groups: a majority with low scores on dark personality traits and low pornography use (49.5%), a second group with medium scores on all five measures (41.3%), and a smaller group with high scores on all traits, particularly everyday sadism (9.2%). Notably, higher Dark Tetrad trait scores were consistently associated with greater pornography consumption. These findings may reflect a combination of sensation-seeking tendencies and a possible alignment with desires for power and control found in certain pornographic content (Muris et al., 2020; Pineda et al., 2023; Trapnell et al., 2024)."

"Misinformation poses a significant concern, promoting false beliefs and eroding trust in media. People differ in their susceptibility to believe and to share misinformation. In this article, we reviewed recent research on relationships between personality traits and belief in and sharing of misinformation. Findings show that more extroverted and less conscientious and agreeable people tend to be more susceptible to believing in and sharing misinformation. Additionally, the Dark Triad personality traits of narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism tend to be positively associated with sharing of misinformation, and narcissism and psychopathy are associated with greater belief in misinformation. Understanding these individual differences can inform interventions to reduce the effects of misinformation."
