Update: It has finally cooled down! Let one window open over night and the temperature in my flat has dropped from 33C to 25C. Life is enjoyable again!

Sorry to hear that, I know how disappointing this can feel.

I checked the temperature and it says it's 35 degrees by the door outside. It reminded me of this Garfield strip, which inspired me to actually turn on the radio. I fiddled a bit with the tuning and on the medium frequency I accidentally found a broadcast of the Hungarian Germans/Donauschwaben. They spent like 10 minutes talking about typical minority stuff like Heimatmuseum and Selbstverwaltungswahl, though the lady had a very noticeable Hungarian accent while doing so. And now they are broadcasting weapons-grade German love-songs that make you think of the Alps and Lederhosen.
At one point I managed to get the BBC on this thing but I can't seem to find it right now. Gotta wonder how these 70 cent-for-four Chinese batteries last before inevitably contaminating the groundwater for the next 10000 years.

I've cut myself on the lip(?)/rim(?) of a plastic yoghurt pot (according to dict.cc that's the word) before. It was from LIDL and cheaply/badly molded.

Hori shet, supermarkets are dangerous.

Also, as I said that's not the actual package but a random pic of a four-pack I found on ze internetz.

While the language is fundamentally similar to Castilian Spanish, we have a lot of different phonemes, the likes of which exist in other languages like Russian.

Since the short stories thread on /b/ on the old chan was lost, and I don't just want to repost them on /b/ again, where there is already a new short stories thread, I thought I'd translate some of them and post them here, maybe it encourages people to write their own stuff.

The best restaurant in the world 2/2 Ernst 06.05.23 10:25:34 No.3001

Once again I signaled the waiter and told him: "a Viennese Schnitzel, please". Suddenly, behind me, a choir started to sing: "You are an asshole, you are an asshole". Startled, I turned around, and saw behind me a group of three men in evening suits, with violins and guitar, who played music and sang insults to me. "What's your problem, dickhead?" they sang softly into my ear, followed by a skillful violin solo. I asked the waiter: "Um, excuse me, who are these guys?" - "Them? Oh, that's our house band, they entertain our guests with some musical ambience - aaand they also help them to pick the right dish from the menu." - "What do you mean 'the right dish', are there wrong ones?" I asked. The waiter started to explain that there weren't really "wrong" dishes, but the cooks simply don't want to do some of the meals, also there are contracts with food companies about purchase quantities, which they had to fulfill, and for those reasons they would vastly prefer some meals over others. A restaurant like theirs wouldn't be possible otherwise. I understood the situation, but one thing I didn't get, so I asked the waiter: "I understand, but wouldn't it be much easier to just remove the bad dishes from the menu? I mean, surely the house band costs a lot of extra money, which in turn makes the dishes more expensive. Also most of your customers probably don't enjoy getting insulted". "Fuck off if you don't like it." the choir sang, and the waiter replied "Don't worry, sir, all this has no effect on the prices of the dishes. The choir will be billed separately after all, and it can't be canceled anyway. And, of course, we would NEVER take a dish off the menu, after all we wouldn't be the best restaurant in the world if you weren't able to order anything you wanted to!"

To get out of this unpleasant situation I decided to order an italian salad, this would go along with about everything. That seemed to please the choir, who now turned on other guests. The waiter happily noted my order and went straight to the kitchen. I took a sip of my beer and eagerly awaited the arrival of my food, since in the meantime I got really hungry. After only 20 minutes the waiter returned, carrying two big plates, which he presented to me with a big smile on his face: "There you go, sir, your italian Post too long.

Since I just found out that translating stuff is hard, I'll probably only post one every once in a while. That is of course a purely tactical maneuver to keep this thread at the top, and has nothing to do with laziness or something.

alarm clock.jpg (80.24 KB, 764x619)

It was Sunday evening. Tomorrow, work was looming, and the game would start anew. Work for money, for food, then sleep, and back to work again. Predictable, only minor changes. No greater goal. Slowly going in circles, until the end. I should go to bed, it was late, and the alarm would ring early. But I didn't want to go to bed, to that location, where the cycle ends and starts again. I was thinking... art! Art is alive. I opened photoshop, created a macro and posted it. A long post about life. Deleted, corrected, reposted. Another hour had passed, it was night by now. Everything frozen. Ernstchan, life outside, even the air in the room seemed stale. A wikipedia article, and another. Knowledge! Curiosity is good, learn everything, know everything. God knows everything. With my mouth wide open I sucked up the knowledge. Into my body. A fly passed the screen, it too was sucked in. Disappeared into me. I opened my mouth even wider, and took a deep breath in. My potted plant couldn't resist the air current and also disappeared inside of me. It wasn't enough. The monitor was next. Gone. Inhaled. Sucked away. The desk, the cupboard, the bed. Their existence was transferred to me. Finally, emptiness, everything gone. I went outside and took a deeper breath. The bushes and trees. One after the other they disappeared in my throat. The cars, the tarmac on the road. I needed them, they had to become a part of me. The houses and all the people inside, I sucked them in. I sucked in the floor below me. Until everything was gone. I had sucked in the entire earth. The vacuum should have killed me now, but I sucked in the empty space. And there was more. Planets, stars, galaxies. The pull was getting stronger. They all disappeared into me eventually. A never ending stream of space and matter. I noticed a frontier approaching me, it was the edge of the universe. I sucked it in, it disappeared. Then I sucked in god.

I released a small breath of air. The alarm wouldn't ring tomorrow.

This Ernst has decided to leave the refuge of reputable society once and for all and enter a life of unhinged criminality by getting his first tattoo.

What does Ernst think about tattoos?
Does Ernst have any tattoos or ideas for tattoos?
Does an EC tier tattoo exist?

I think whatever a tattoo is meant to add to the personality or appearance must have been concluded to be missing in first place. So it's a sign of not being pleased with whatever your appearance is. But then Ernst doesn't enjoy fancy clothes or status symbols either, and despite the arguments for not having/buying things like that make sense, it might still be a bad choice, since maybe you have to display your goods to some degree to get attention. So, do whatever you enjoy, and don't listen to Ernst.

Yeah, feel is known to some extent, though thinking about tattoo ideas I had five years ago or so but didn't go through with, I'd still be cool with them for the most part.

>what kind of tattoo will you get?
I'm going for a relatively old school motif with an anatomical heart, except it's submerged in a swamp/water. First two pics are some of the inspo, last pic is the mock-up I made but the artist is gonna put her own spin on it ofc. Not 100% sure yet about the placement, either in the "socially acceptable rebellious tattoo zone" according to >>3222 or on the inside of upper lower arm, or somewhere inbetween.

That image has become outdated pretty quickly; and was only hitting the mark in a very localized manner.

Trying to think about OPs post seriously for a moment I realized that within my family me and my mother are the only people without tattoos but everyone else has their tattoos for different reasons and none have followed a trend I could name.

I've never really thought about getting one but now after my realisation, the decision has gained more gravitas: If I got a tattoo, I would somewhat single out my mum as the odd one out. Hm.

Whatever else, I now feel compelled to do some reasearch on tattoos by watching porn :-DDD

For the record-record: It wasn't any actual prison sentence as in "locked away for years", just a few days of scare therapy.
Meanwhile in Berlin they caused a big traffic holdup and a woman died because the ambulance got stuck in traffic.
Nobody was apprehended there and they're back at it, causing all Berlin to stand still yet again, this time with sand mixed with glue so they have to be carved out of the street (because apparently you can't just leave them there without food and water), causing damages that will be, in the end, paid for by their victims, unless someone in Berlin grows a pair and actually makes them pay for it, or actually puts them away.

The politicians who are supposed to be "shaken awake" by these actions obviously won't care, but that's how all terroristic activities work, it always hits random people instead of those actually responsible. The RAF was the last generation that actually tried that.

It's not entertainment, it's a bunch of idiots manifesting the "road to hell is paved with good intentions" proverb.
I think their general cause is an important one (albeit this alarmism is just retarded), but the way they are approaching it is not helping anyone and is definitely not winning hearts and minds.
In fact, I am under the strong impression that these people are just in it for the unwarranted self-importance and attention whoring because they don't have any abilities or skills they could use to actually make the world better.
In short, hypocrites, all of them.

I don't regard this form of rejection communication as friendly either, but I think it is what is understood as friendly by people doing this because an outright open and honest rejection would be hurting and they don't want to hurt. Of course what they don't consider is that this hurts probably even more than an outright rejection. Rejection will hurt, the extent varies though. I mean it is pretty clear but I would prefer a clear cut statement instead of this "maybe" fizzling out because it makes future interactions awkward and uncomfortable. I don't even know why she considered this knowing quite well we would probably run into each other again on campus.

It's trade union election time. This means I have to filter 40 candidate using (up to) 35 votes.

This creates an interesting exercise in democracy where the candidates have mostly the same messaging across two factions with the candidates all endorse one-another*. There's the far-left one currently in power and the further-left contender. The major policy contention is how often we strike (currently once a month) with the further-left wanting more positions in the bureaucracy elected for what I can only guess are entirely altruistic reasons.

*aside from easily filtered wing-nuts like the guy who I remember once pushed for the union to endorse Palestinian terrorism.

You'll be fine. You're a young man who has trouble understanding his emotions and you're inexperienced with women as nearly all guys are. That makes you worse than autistic, it makes you normal.

Just try to think about what she will like and try to put yourself in her shoes when you want to do something. This will put you ahead of 99.9% of the competition including in seggs xD. Also I hope you've now gotten something in the diary with her, it has been a few days already.

>>2548
>Beating around the bush doesn't get you girls. If she likes you, she likes you and you can do basically anything short of shitting in her apartment to make her not like you. And with that in mind, speak plainly and act offensively. Anything that's not a positive is a negative. "Not sure" is a negative, "maybe later" is a negative.

What you're saying makes perfect sense but there's more nuance to it if you ask me. You can still give the girl the 'ick' and while the objective is to escalate things to the next level ASAP that's not if you start to come across as desperate or pushy.

If I had the money I'd get one and use it instead of my laptop for most use cases.
Much more comfy for watching videos and reading stuff, plus it natively supports the OS I use anyway and has better hardware than my current main laptop.

But it wouldn't replace my gaming rig or any of my servers (obviously).
