>Read books. It's that simple.

Did you specifically mean novels or books in general?
I consume a lot of English language media already. Mainly academic but still. That said I think novels can be challenging vocabulary wise. Maybe I should read more novels. English language poetry I imagine can also be a pain in the ass depending on whom you read but I assume it is there were you can run quickly into not knowing words.

I had to write an English research proposal and after finishing, I ran it through chatgpt and every paragraph was basically fine but the details made it really "native" sounding and I knew all the suggested vocabulary changes. A bit frustrating. My passive vocabulary is quite good. Some phrases and special fields vocabulary lacks, though. The latter is not really a problem as long as my special field is known to me.

Academic papers are limited in their vocabulary by their nature. Go read Confederacy of Dunces if you haven't already.

Going to the army and losing a limb is technically an IRREVERSIBLE identity-affirming surgery.

tired of veteran propaganda in mass media. especially veteran pride parades. look, I don't care what you do as long as it's in the privacy of your own home

did you know that 99% of veterans who go through IRREVERSIBLE identity affirming surgery regret their decision and want to de-veteranize?
Worse, they want US to pay for their medical bills. NOT ON MY TAXPAYER DOLLARS

True, well-done plastic surgery is just for evening out irregularities, but those that overdo it, overdo it horribly, and often so unnecessary.
Take Emily Blunt, a beautiful woman, with really attractive armpits and a beautiful smile.
There was absolutely no reason at all for her to get lifted, she's only 40 or something.
On the other hand, Salma Hayek and Monica Bellucci most certainly had something done, but you wouldn't notice.

I did some more editing and research today. Found two potentially promising books. Started assembling the bibliography.
Finally got a frame for the Chinese calligraphy I have. It will look nice on the wall once I find a spot for it.

My father was cleaning out some stuff at my mother's request. We found an old iPod among the masses of cables and I took it into my care out of utter fascination. The battery holds an okay charge, but the hard drive is fucking dead because I can hear it click when I try to restore it.
Looking it up, it wouldn't be all that hard to just fix it myself. Just need to pop it open, pull out the drive and then insert an media-card interface thingy and then an SD card ultimately. Seems like a fun little summer project. I wonder if my father would find it cool that I fixed it on my own.

I stayed home and did work here because I washed my hair and I didn't want to risk catching a cold in the wind if I fail to dry like a random spot or curl.
Though I do realise that this is a cope on my part mostly. The reality is that there were no groceries at home and I didn't want to eat out, so I just made do with some coffee and two slices of bread.

My sleep was very troubled for the past two or so days. It's not even that I had odd dreams. I sort of enjoy having odd dreams because whenever I happen to remember one it always gets me in an interpretative mood. Why way my brain fascinated with this?
No, this is just rolling around and feeling like I'm in an oven on a ship.
Maybe it's the winds.

Got a letter about Erasmus scholarships. Gonna read it tomorrow. I'm still determined to spend some time abroad for my own sake.
I'm honestly feeling motivated. It's about me. I need to do something small every day instead of waiting for a manic phase to save me.

How doth the little busy bee
Improve each shining hour,
And gather honey all the day
From every opening flower!

How skilfully she builds her cell!
How neat she spreads the wax!
And labors hard to store it well
With the sweet food she makes.

In works of labor or of skill,
I would be busy too;
For Satan finds some mischief still
For idle hands to do.

I really long for a place where I can go to read a book, speak with interesting people, just chill and spend my evenings. At home I always think of things I have to do, like cleaning the dishes or fixing broken stuff. Also its kind of lonely.
I am fantasizing about gentlemens clubs as they are portrayed by Jules Verne and others from that time, it would be amazing to have a club where only a selected group of people can go and meet, have nice furniture and lots of books and newspapers and so on. Unfortunately I don't think they would be as nice today, probably attracts arrogant douches only and also I probably wouldn't get into one even if I moved to London.
I heard that hackerspaces are nice for this in many places, but I have been to the local one a couple of times and it is merely okay. Most people go there to use a tool and then go back home immediately without chatting with anyone. The ones who like to talk are not my cup of tea, one can't stop talking about some political bs all the time and some dumb crypto investments like NFTS. Then there are two teenagers who I have helped with a little project once, they are friendly and I like talking to them, but most of the time I don't learn a lot during our conversations myself.
My current favorite place is at work, where we have a small "social room" with sofas and coffee machine and a bookshelf. I often go there for breaks to read, but staying there after work feels weird.

Does Ernst have such places? Or does he not even desire it? For me this feeling is very strong, I would be happy to move somewhere else if I knew that there was such a hangout place. I even considered starting a club myself, renting a small place, getting nice furniture etc but there would probably be nobody to join it.

>Apparently, designating "the internet" as your holy scripture isn't allowed
That wouldn't have made any sense at all, I am surprised they even had to think about it. Almost anything can be found within the depths of the internet, and if its not there yet you can upload it yourself. So having the internet as a holy scripture is not much different from having your internal monologue as a holy scripture, except there is more insane and selfcontradicting stuff on the internet.
>I believe an agnostic view should be welcomed.
You can be agnostic theist.
How was your interaction with them like though? Did the guy you talk to seem more or less normal? Do you know how the process of deciding about you went, do they have some official protocol for that? I have never had real life contact with freemasons, it would be interesting to hear what they are like.

Pretty much that was actually the reasoning I've came up with.
Just that I've wanted to argue to interpret this ~"one consciousness" / "we are one" ~idea as deity proxy and "the internet" as its currently purest form of scripture, exactly because it is this time and individual sensitive.

Never owned a car. When I freshly owned my license I looked up cool used cars to potentially buy. Among them were the Volvo 440, the Renault R19 (facelifted), the Citroen BX, the Mercedes 190 and 220 I think, and Seat Ibiza with the around 2000 facelift.

I have the same favorable opinion towards edgy cars see Volvo 440, generally, today many cars really seem to look alike. I hardly care about performance in a car even though driving fast and sporty is fun, I would generally care about the car being not a repair carousel and it looking extravagantly nice bc of age.

I will never drive any of these cars, because in the future I will own nothing and I will love it.

Good evening dear sirs, EC and Radio Ernstiwan are back online. Reason for the downtime was - as already suspected - a damaged storage volume at our providers' site. The following happened: Wednesday at about 08:00UTC both chan and radio (which run on different servers, but are hosted by the same provider) went offline, even admin access was impossible. In the late evening I at least could see the servers as online in the VNC console, which can be opened from the admin area of our providers' web page, but all services and SSH access were still offline. The logs on both servers showed complaints about a corrupt file system with the hint to fix it via fsck. I waited until now whether our provider would react to the incident ticket I opened, which he didn't. So I tried the fsck fix, and it worked. I hope the 36 hours without EC weren't too painful.

Of course this is just a cover-up-story, the truth is it was a CABBAGE ATTACK!!!111 THOSE MONSTERS, HOW DARE THEY???
