I'm going to rant again about the French centralized bourgeoisie and how much I hate society in Paris. You are not without knowing I'm going out with a cute girl from Paris. As a preface to my rant I want to state that she is not concerned by most of what I have to say about this city.
I was at first absolutely struck at how much socialized are the people of Paris for a lack of a better term. People are so close to each other that the only way to make their social class is by adopting social codes and even physical spaces designed to reproduce their own class. And it's not like there's only one kind of bourgeois in Paris, there's a shit load of bourgeois micro-classes all gravitating around the centrlized and reproducing their customs amongst themselves. Most of the time the upper middle class will adopt a left wing to cope with their relative distance from the centre of the power with a disgust for the people above but a necessity to stay close to them for avoiding real poverty. To give you an idea, my gf's parents took her to châteaux to
rallies. Parties were young people from the aristocracy meet to go out together and hopefully marry to keep social status from one generation to the others (the same parents who were targeted by a maconic assassination plot, yes yes).
And they all fuck like degenerate rabbits, they are so horny and beauty is a treat of the bourgeoisie. Everything and everyone beautiful will be passed up and fucked up the social ladder. Funny thing is that my ethos seems to work way more with beautiful in this city of sin than in my little Switzerland. In Switzerland, reading books and thinkening is a nerd gayboy thing, in France it actually makes beautiful women crave you, I'll admit that's a bit neat.
I think it must be a after-effect of the extreme centralization of the power in France. They all gravitate like a fucked up Versaille around the surprus of the entire coutry trying to know the right people and have the right friends to extract the most they can from the central
jackpot.
I'm lucky that Swtzerland is so rich you don't even have to try and the construction of an urban bourgeoisie is almost unecessary. Either that or I lack any critical thinking about my own economico-socioligical situation.

Don't know about the state of Switzerland, just that the Suisse come here to drive very expensive cars very fast, and if they get caught, they laugh at the ridiculous fines. They see it as a kind of fee they pay to drive like madmen, not really as a punishment.

You can't translate anything from Portuguese to English or vice-versa because the intricacies of meaning behind "ser/estar" aren't fully translated to "be"? "Saíste com o teu amigo" can't be translated to "You went out with your friend" because crucial detail is lost.

I woke up and then lazed in bed for two more hours. Afterwards I read a chapter from this book on traditional Chinese agriculture. Also looked through some of Engels' Anti-Dühring because it had this interesting passage in the Gewaltstheorie section about the importance of irrigation systems in Eastern societies.
Working on my classical Chinese homework. This time it's something ancient (as in, Spring and Autumn era, not Tang or Song stuff) so I'm not having too much trouble with it. I'm actually enjoying translating this story.
Plus I actually like using my desktop setup for this. It's comfortable. I never knew technology could make my life this comfortable.
I had my classes cancelled today. Everyone seems to be catching colds left and right. My sister's been out of commission for like two weeks now, my father lost his voice and my mother had a fewer too last month. I'm basically the only one who escaped unscathed in the house.

>>10178It's a wonderful game, really. Especially if you are like me and started playing it like a decade ago so each time you sat down to play it you got a wastly expanded experience. Almost as if it was trying to live up to rose-tinted memories through the updates.
Though I wouldn't say it gets terrifyingly autistic during an average playtrough.
Once you get into mastermode and for the worthy however.
Anyway, it's one of those games that basically everyone plays differently and using modern vernacular English, all playstyles are "valid" and the devs support that. Personally I just play on classic vanilla and that's it. (I usually just get hooked on it like once a year and waste like 50-70 hours on a playthrough and then swear off it.)
Honestly I like how basically most of the game is just an incoherent assembly of elements. Nobody ever wanted a story from the game and it's nice that way. It's like Doom's textures.

There germany has a function based on income as well. If you are poor, you can make the GmbH pay a lot more for your imprisonment, since you are going to have a lower money per day value which is subtracted from your fine. I was able to get a 20/day value on a 400 fine, making it 20 days. I think a single day in prison is more expensive than the whole fine would have been, $profit§s.

>>10293>Benedict ArnoldI’ve been thinking about this for a bit recently, like a few weeks ago. On and off, really, how the American political tradition in my eye seems to have had this mythology of the war for independence as this borderline cosmic struggle, with the founding fathers being culture-heroes and sages who then went on to be deified, despite their faults. And of course this war, or series of events, with Benedict Arnold, Bunker Hill, Washington crossing Delaware, Ben Franklin with the kite etc. all went on to serve as a common ground of politics for the United States and you could say something like “He’s the Benedict Arnold of our times” when someone betrayed the United States, but with the change in culture and the focus on civil rights and the sins of the fathers, this sort of began to completely erode this common ground and mythology, which of course means a sort of political divorce that’s very hard to heal without serious intervention.
And to me Benedict Arnold’s name, because of how his name is synonymous with “traitor” embodies this process the best. No one in modern American discourse would call someone Benedict Arnold. And that’s telling.

Apart from profiting from a much lower population density that made feeding the population on much lower per-hectare yields possible, the Roman empire was full of people who had the skills necessary to achieve this level of production under pre-industrial conditions. Admittedly, I do not have such a skill-set. Neither did Ted Kaczynski. I would wager that the same goes for both of you and for the overwhelming majority of the population of Europe, even the planet. So, if industry collapsed, GDP per capita would most likely fall below $200, which would spell death and starvation, not just for me, but also for you.

Today was an okay day. I had something to eat, got dressed and lazed around a bit and then I went to the library and studied there a bit. Read some Chinese philosophy and then I crammed characters.
The only bad part of the experience was that some Indian chick sat down at a neighbouring table and she smelled rancid. Like absolutely awful somehow. (I couldn't move elsewhere because the place was full.)
This will probably trigger the schizo but it is my genuine observation.
Another strange thing is how on some days the library seems to be over 40% East Asian. No clue what causes it.
On the way home I saw the latest billboard campaign of the government about defending our sovereignty, proclaiming that "We will not dance to the tune of Brussels".
I also went to the pharmacy. Doing normal things. Don't know about tomorrow. I'll go to class and maybe have lunch in the city and read that article from that journal afterwards. I have one class cancelled due to a conference.

those do not seem very weather dependent and are still renewable.
I would agree that storage of energy is somewhat problematic, but we could get enough energy out of weather dependent sources, if we were able to save that energy effectively when peaks are reached. I also think atom energy is a good thing for the time where we try to figure out how to balance our energy consumption with typical energy production spikes.
Why should the weather follow the rules of the industry?
Why not just force the industry to adopt to the weather? (in case we cannot find a wide range solution for energy storage)
The only real issue I see is with transporting the energy. But even this one might be solvable, if the industry actually has to tackle that problem.

>>10421Pumped hydro is not a viable solution for mid to long-term storage of renewable energy. Trying to put things into perspective: Take the Hornbergbecken. It stores enough energy to provide 900MW for 7 hours, putting it at about 6000 MWh storage capacity. This is an immense storage, and there are only two others like it in Germany.
Picture related is the current load curve for Germany. You will notice that the scale does not top out at 40 thousand Megawatt. That's 40 times Hornberg. And there are only two more pumped hydro storages in Germany that are that powerful.
You can also see that the enormous energy of 6000MWh is not much, compared to the energy drawn per day. All the energy that can be stored in existing pumped hydro would easily be used up in a few calm hours on a winter day. But long winter calms in January might last for a week or longer.
A naive suggestion for a solution would be to just build more pumped hydro. But the precondition for pumped hydro is suitable geography, and of course, the best places have been used first.
We might see two or three more storages of that scale in Germany, but not 100, 50 or 30.
Pumped Hydro is enough to smooth out load peaks and to flatten steep load ramps. In most countries, it is completely insufficient for long term storage. That only works for sparsely populated mountainous countries like Norway. And the Norwegians are not interested in having their country turned into a giant battery.

No.10424
>>10423All valid points; especially if we focus on/assume national borders.
I believe - outside of producing and storing energy - we also need to aim to reduce energy consumption. This doesn't directly go against the typical capitalist idea of ever increasing GDP, but it is hard to imagine that we could achieve an increase in GDP while reducing energy consumption within our current industry. Maybe we actually have to ask ourselves how important the increase in GDP is, how much it actually reflects wealth and probably even if a singular country can abstain of chasing a greater GDP without "falling behind". However, I think we at least have to tackle one very big energy waste within our current system:
> planned obsolescenceYes, it increases GDP, if you sell by design faulty products, because you can sell a replacement faster. On the other hand, it doesn't benefit humanity in any way; you only increase an imaginary
ausgedacht? measurement. No human would be worse off, if we outlaw planned obsolescence - possibly even with custodial sentences without the possibility to "buy yourself out", if you are found to be somewhat involved with it. We could reduce production of a lot of products - which saves a lot of energy - while keeping the exact same material wealth of our society. Only the GDP-measurement would suffer. Maybe our society has to change its behaviour as well, but the industry is the biggest energy consumer and we shouldn't push the whole responsibility on the individuals of our society and their choices of consumption and energy usage.
We do have a lot of challenges to face. - I do not claim to have a solution to any of those; maybe some pointers, at best.
I actually do support atomic power as a ~[band aid]/crutch while we face these challenges.
I want to talk a little bit more about something you ignored in your reply and which I described as
> The only real issue I seeGlobally speaking, we should have enough areas to renewably produce energy for our current population. The problem is: our population isn't at the locations we could produce a lot of energy at. e.g. (sry for not looking up actual numbers) we could plaster a huge area of a desert with solar cells <-> we do not know how to get that energy to us, though.
maybe we should try to invade africa as european refugees?, lol - we just need to build some good shading and cooling with the energy :DYou've already mentioned that norway isn't really keen in being transformed into our energy battery. But, yes, I would look at that as a possible solution as well.
I really doubt energy is a national problem. I would call it a global problem.
Just look at the wars fought over oil.
(maybe it actually is a good thing one country got somewhat of a monopoly on oil, forcing others to look for different solutions for their energy consumption.
wasting so much oil on military to get some more oil is plainly stupid, if you look at humanity as a whole... only makes a little sense, if you think in national terms.)
If we assume that our nation has to solve its energy problem on its own, I would really be a naysayer
Da würde ich schwarz sehen?. I doubt we can. We would at least need the whole of europe to cooperate.
Or we could do nothing and just watch how outside forces instigate a left/right divide in europe, because they don't wanna look for a solution, but instead are fighting for the biggest cut of what is left with our current approach No.10425

today's episode of "the autistic german takes everything too serious":
>>10425> ban smartphonesI actually thought about what kind of consequences this would have for the industry, since nobody cares about how the civil population would feel or react.
First off, it would be nearly impossible to deliver personalized advertisement to the individual. A lot of data would be missing, since it is not generated.
The whole personalized ads industry would collapse and with it a lot of data centers and "A.I." algorithms running over the data would have to shut down, since there is no point for these anymore. Those things use at least as much energy as what is used for telecommunication data streams. We would be saving a lot more energy than the initial impression of that idea would suggest.
my lazy as should prolly look up actual data about:
- how much energy is used by the ad industry
- how much energy is used by telecommunication data streams
- - how much of that telecommunication data is used for advertisement purposes, up and down stream.
- - - we actually did, for fun, do the latter with a few example cases of written articles at the end of month: about
~50 KB content for ~50 MB ads for typical "news" articles, downstream.
- - - we did not find an easy way to analyze how much of the upstream was used to request the content and how much was used for tracking, identifying, data collection and spying. A typical html request doesn't use a lot of data and it was uploaded a lot more than would be necessary.
- when are people charging their phones and how much it affects the energy production.
- - most people charge their phone over night, not affecting the energy consumption peaks. It seems to be one of the few default anticyclic energy consumption behaviours of a typical individual.
No.10450 KONTRA
>>10448I am willing, without even looking at the actual data, to formulate the following hypothesis:
simply banning advertisements would have the same effect on big parts of energy consumption of our industry without negatively affecting the individual. if we ban planned obsolescence on top of banning advertisements we would also effect
> Then you'd save on all the energy used in production and mining the rare earth metals and so on.by a huge amount.
my estimate would be: about 90% to 95% of our current energy consumption regarding smartphones could be saved that way. If we now postulate the individual is conscious about its own energy consumption, we can presume that the individual only charges his smartphone with locally produced energy, which we are unable to store and would be wasted otherwise. maybe decreasing the energy consumption of smartphones further, totaling at ~98%.
while I, personally, wouldn't mind a whole ban on smartphones - since I am using one only because I have to - (neetMonzeys-giver demands statements of account -> bank only provides it via an online platform -> online platform needs 2-factor-authentication...
yes, that is actually the reason I got and had to get a smartphone - I didn't have one until my bank stopped supporting free offline support for statements of account), I believe the huge majority of our society wouldn't like a ban of smartphones.
I wouldn't be affected by a ban of ads much - since I am using adblocker - as well, but a huge majority of society would personally benefit of it. Starting with having more of their data-volume per month for actual content over wasting less time with undesirable and unwanted content shoved into their faces and maybe even up to a healthier mental state, since platforms are not longer interested in keeping the user engaged and riled up in order to shove more ads into their face.
assuming my estimates are somewhat correct:
why ban smartphones, if you can ban ads and planned obsolescence and achieve an energy saving effect that is ~98% as effective and doesn't affect the individual's experience and freedom as much?problems might arise with the profitability of keeping a platform up and runningpic unrelated

I woke up and had a breadroll for breakfast before going to class. Because we're having an open week they moved Chinese class over to the Japanese department's building. It was very well heated. We had to open the window to not get a heatstroke.
Ran into the workshop's head and we greeted eachother.
After Chinese class I went out to have lunch and it was good. I didn't really want to go home just to spend 1 hour home and then travel back for another hour or so. So I decided to spend my time at the East Asian Library for the remainder of my time. I read the remaining texts for Chinese philosophy class. It was very cold in the library, so I put on my coat.
When I realised that wasn't helping all that much, I asked the librarian if she would be willing to put on the kettle and lend me some tea leaves and she agreed, so we had some oolong. I brewed like 5 cups and was totally energized. Looked through some bibliographies and noted down potentially interesting journal articles and books.
Also looked through all the new arrivals and such. I accidentally came across a book titled "Business Management the Chinese Way" and I accidentally opened it at a chapter titled "Rewards and Punishments" and I freaked out and showed it to the librarian because I couldn't believe it. I felt like I was losing it.
Philosophy class went okay I guess. I had a bit of a hard time disposing of Aristotle while learning about the School of Names. I feel like if I studied more modern philosophy in depth it would have been easier. I feel sorely undereducated in that regard.
Afterwards I had a discussion with the professor about a few things I've read.

Foobar has several "random" options, with the cheap "random" option that only ensures that one track is not played twice in succession and the better option where it generates a random order right at the start, so that during that session no track is played twice.
Obviously when shutting down and booting up the computer daily, a new list is generated each day, yet there still seems to be a bias towards those two, which is funny because while I can understand Funny van Dannen, since it makes out about 1% of all tracks, pain is only like three albums. Iron Maiden on the other hand is seldomly played despite the whole discography being present. Same with Kataklysm and AC/DC.

I did. My surrender of my personal information and purchase records to the LIDL family had netted me a can of beans and a packet of cookies. However when attempting to ring them up, the discount simply wasn't applied. I asked for help from a cashier but he was disinterested in my suffering and not eager to help. Recommended I try another store.

Today was okay. I woke up, lazed around a bit and then went out to get groceries. We had to postpone picking up the book donation, but it's not a big deal overall I guess.
On my way home I noticed that the entire town smelled like manure and for a bit I contemplated that I stepped in something, but the dry soles of my shoes made me reconsider this.
Apparently people complained of the foul smell not just in my town, but also in the nearby towns. I wonder what happened.
I had lunch and then I sat down and finally beat Terraria. All together it took me 32 hours to finish this playthrough. I was starting to get very sick of it.
Ultimately it was a lot easier than I expected. I thought there will be a lot more grinding and excruciatingly boring potion making, but no. I just held down the left mouse button with a few buffs active and the final boss just died. I don't remember this game being so easy.

Did you know Aquinas said that those who get into heaven would be able to see the damned suffering for eternity in Hell, and rejoice at that?
Not in a sadistic kind of way, but because it is theologically required for that to be the case. Like, you HAVE to rejoice at ultimate divine justice being carried out.
C.S. Lewis said that if people in heaven could not enjoy their reward in Heaven because they felt pity for some low life pedophile's eternal torments, then we'd have a situation where some low life pedo fuck could hold the entire Universe hostage, in that Divine Justice would not be carried out, because Saints couldn't enjoy their reward in heaven, just because of this one pedo fuck. So, "pity" as a concept, doesn't exist in Heaven. It is metaphysically required for it to be so.
Well, I say fuck Aquinas and fuck God then.

>>10521>>10519>>10520Do keep in mind that not all near death or actual death experiences are beautiful or blissful.
You may very well experience a horror trip as you die.
People don't like to report on negative NDEs, but they do happen.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6173534/And whether someone has a positive or negative death hallucination doesn't seem to correlate with how virtuous the person was. Unless you want to claim that Steve Jobs and Thomas Edison were good people, because they both reportedly had blissful passings.
I think that the afterlife is a time-dilated hallucination you experience as your brain shuts down. Who knows how much time you experience subjectively in those final moments, maybe it does feel like an eternity.
But that does lead us to the conclusion, that the people who go to heaven are those narcissistic and selfish enough to believe themselves to be deserving of heaven. Those who pass away believing themselves to be saints, no matter how much suffering they have inflicted on others, experience blissful hallucinations of heavenly salvation.
Those with conscience who carry guilt upon their deaths, will experience the self inflicted punishments of hell, for any and all sins they believe themselves to have committed, from squashing a bug, to eating industrially farmed meat, to hurting other human beings.
So, the guaranteed way to experience heaven is to never experience any guilt for any of your actions, ever.

When did Ernst last donate for a good cause?
Me: Today. I have been thinking a lot lately about all my money sitting on a bank account without ever being needed. I don't enjoy buying things and have everything I need. Then inflation has been hitting hard in the last years, its a shame to see the money that I have been working for go to waste. So I decided to give some of it away, today I started with a local environmental conservation organization that I think will use it in good ways. I find it really hard to decide on who to give it to, I also considered some software projects that I like but I don't know if money is really what they need and also it feels like software is not the most necessary thing in this world. On the other hand, the countless organizations that collect lots of money for the poor starving children in africa doesn't feel right either. I doubt that a lot of the money even makes it there, and I'm not that sure if it is all that smart to support people living in areas where sustaining yourself is hardly possible nowadays (with current levels of population, climate, markets being shit for small farmers etc).

FYI: I removed one of the soyjak posts, since there were complains on meta about generally not tolerating them. As a large number of Ernsts argued for allowing any non-illegal content, I only removed the one without content because it was just about pissing someone else off. In the past there also were Ernsts who argued for a general soyjak ban. We haven't discussed that with the mod team, but unless we don't explicitly decide on that, we can't really remove images just because they have a bad rep, unless of course other rules are violated in the process, for example low effort shitposting. Same goes for other content that has been frowned upon in the past, like Pepe, Spurdo, Apu and so on. This is not set in stone though, so if Ernst finds that this current policy should be changed, feel free to argue about it on meta.

Going over credit card purchases. I bought gas on October 13th. $40. November 1st another $30 and $43 on November 20th. As most of that last one is still in the car's tank, I apparently spend ~$65/month on gas. Double what I had assumed.
Additional info: I only drive to work
and Walmart.

I finished the first "self made" project that free code camp challenges you to do on its HTML/CSS curriculum called Responsive Web Design code a survey form with certain conditions is the first of 4 or 5 projects one has to do without guidance, just fulfilling certain conditions is the only orientation. I had to do all four training tasks again before finishing the project this time. Going through it again and taking notes this time on how elements relate helped quite a bit. The document/page looks shitty though because I don't really have the knowledge of CSS and it is not really explained at this stage of the training or I forgot, like doing padding, margins, center elements probably wrap it in a div element that you can then text-align or what does the trick? and so on.
Anyway, it kinda makes fun to complete the tasks and learn a bit. The amount of learning required is terrifying, though but from all I gathered normal. Funnily, coding seems a bit like academia: it never ends and imposter feelings are a common occurence.

>>10602I am not talking about kazakhs in special though, but central asiatics in general. If I just wanted to insult a kazakh, I'd call him an uzbek, but that's not actually racist, but only playing into local rivalries, like calling a franconian bavarian or a badenser swabian.

That's because the Soviet Union really did fulfill the socialist promise of erasion ethno-national borders and creationg a New (soviet) Man.

>>10609To me it seems like Finnland wanted to point to the exact same thing as you, namely that HTML and CSS is not coding or not "real" coding (it's instructions after all).
How exactly does one learn to code then? I get things explained and then I try for myself when I know some rules I guess?

>>10611To expand on one thing that might be a confusion which is also based on not knowing what free code camp is but it has more than this first curriculum centered around HTML and CSS.

I felt very sluggish the entire day. Don’t really know why. I read the second chapter of Stifter’s Nachsommer and a bit from the Chinese agriculture book.
The tea I had yesterday must’ve had a number on my digestion.
Went grocery shopping with my father. It was a lot more minimalist than when my mother does it. He was looking for some specific item, but he didn’t elaborate on it besides it being some kind of stand. Couldn’t find it at Lidl.

I am a gynecologist simply because I am a cunt fan, and this profession is like a lottery win for me. I have observed so many sheaths, did the odd smear, and usually my member was twitching. Pussies are a heavenly splendor.
Recently some ancient woman came in. I could detect white discharge; feces were sticking to her lower belly, and I felt the urge to fuck the old hag. The withered geriatric skin is what seduced me. She was pretty close to death when I inserted my meat probe, and she actually rejoiced "jeez, halleluja" and so on.

Ach Ernst. I bought a product from an US seller and got it via UPS within a week in the beginning of summer.
In September I order another product from them and now 2.5 month later the tracking ID still shows customs in Frankfurt (pirateID), the DHL tracking number shows Switzerland which is probably because the carrier from the US to Europe was Asendia, a french-swizz joint.
The seller is extremely unhelpful and probably lied about sending another package as a replacement (was not able to give me a tracking ID/ignored my request).
Now I just hope my credit card provider will give me the money back asap or the package magically arrives within the next weeks still. Apparently, the seller's shipping form let me skip the postal code (I think I used autofill) but my city just exists only once in Germany so it should not be a problem to get it to the local warehouse at least and then check for proper postal code that matches with the street name (also only existing once in this town).

Ok, ok, I'm only pretending. Germans are like Italians, we love everything that it is loud. Unlike Italians, we are 100% inconsiderate about it. There was a time when a stern reprimand from a person in authority could should Germans up. But not anymore. This is particularly true for 'young German men', which is code for Muslims. They will perceive any suggestion of turning down the volume as an insult to their honor, and they might decide to re-establish said honor by use of force.
It is now normal in Germany to use Bluetooth speakers or loud mobile phones everywhere. At train stations, on buses, at public pools, in parks, etc. It annoys a lot of people, but most won't risk doing anything about it, because knives are drawn quickly.
