Did writing practice today. I had lunch.
I'm not sick, yet I feel like I don't have much strength to concentrate on things.
I started writing an essay titled "Reading the Daodejing as work of Legalist statecraft".
Honestly sometimes I'm amazed at how others can have very specific titles. Mine always feel so shallow.
I saw my sister do her Russian homework. Apparently they're using some Russian textbook titled "Poyekhali". She seems to be making good progress based on the amount of text that was required of her.
We lost the knitting and mending tools, so mom couldn't mend the pocket of my coat. It's just like Christmas lights. We technically didn't lose them, they're just in a very good place. A very safe place.
Attended workshop seminar. It was okay. We talked about the hanging coffins of the Bo people and I felt like that the collega was perhaps a bit shallow in her research. Of course she told us that she made the presentation this afternoon.
Our second presentation was on Tang era grave goods, specifically the sancai 三彩. It was an allright presentation. Compared them to the Egyptian ushabti. Very funky little knick-knacks.

>>10645> some mangaare you reading older stuff in black and white (and maybe even on actual paper) or some newer stuff on phone and in colour? I enjoy both types. This graphical novel designed for phone screens arch/sub-type is pretty interesting. It uses the new tools available to our time. I also enjoy the older ones and/or "classical" black&white designed for print.
Good about older stuff: people already looked over it and you have quite a bit of previous judgements you can somewhat rely on to decide if something is worth giving it a try. On the other hand, newer stuff has more of this "explorer" vibe to it and the stories are usually closer to the current Zeitgeist.
The problem I kinda have with newer stuff: popularity is one of the few indicators you can use in order to pre-judge a work. And it is surprisingly lacking. There are some gems, which are popular, but most stuff is... meh...
attached a panel of something I am currently giving a try on my other screen. It's meh, but only ~50 chapter released thus far. Prolly finish those and afterwards not picking it up ever again.

>Color stuff I think that’s more for web stuff when it comes to Japan, or Chinese Manhua. For some reason they go all out and make it all in colour.
Or at least I never encountered an entire print manga in colour. Sometimes a few pages here and there for commemorative or omnibus editions, but not the entire thing.
To be more specific, I’m reading Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei.
I’m enjoying it because it’s absurd and sometimes I see parallels with questions of ancient Chinese philosophy.

for "what the heck? is this ongoing or is the mangaka finally deded ill?!" i would recommend
> hunter x hunterIt's this typical naruto/dragon ball/fairy tail/bleach/one piece... genre. fighting, supernatural powers and so on, but the best of the bunch.
(didn't like the anime, but just watched the very first few episodes. looked too childish - heard differently from people actually watching it.)
for completed?
not too sure what to recommend here. i liked
> liar gameit has 201 chapters, so not too long
others would prolly recommend
> death notewhich is somewhat similar, but has a lot of supernatural elements on top.
and maybe you are into some other type of genre all together? maybe something like hikaro no go or bakuman...
actually,
> bakumanyes, dat gud. was released in shonen jump
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bakuman , 176 chapters - so "relative" short as well.
didn't change pic title, but wanted to give that as overview as well: a manga about mangakas.
>>10670> Dragon Ballonly "Dragon Ball" no "Z" or whatev: yes, worth a read. light and funny
> One Pieceno - waaaay to long and doesn't really have anything "special" to it. just pretty much this standard arc of "we, together, can achieve anything!!", but ok-ish up to well executed.

I had a terrible dream. It took place in a courtyard, surrounded by brick walls. But they were run-down, disorderly bricks. The ground had some messy grass.
In the middle stood a strange machine. It was used for executions. It’d pierce the victim’s back to secure them in place, and then would swing a large blade from above to cut them in half instantly.
It pierced be, but it malfunctioned and instead of cutting into my head it cut into my right shoulder and got stuck there, leaving me in immense pain. When I woke up, my right shoulderblade hurt as if I had slept in a terrible position.
I went out of the room and apparently the dog was expecting me because when I got back, it followed me into the room and decided to sleep with me until my alarm rang.
I went to class. Did okay in modern Chinese and then had lunch at the local American embassy. After that I went to the library and worked on stuff for a bit. Found a cool book with a biography of the person I was researching, so it was a fruitful session.
Then I went to classical Chinese class and did well. The last half an hour of that was spent on the lecturer asking us what we think of the MA. Apparently most people are not impressed, and I told him that while I am not enrolled, from what I gathered the chief issue is that the training scheme has an identity crisis (Modern vs. Classical) and that the director sold these poor sods on getting a dual-degree from China, which was evidently an “unkept promise” and of course I tried to be sound. “If you lie to your alumni for a short-term marketing boost, that’s bad for your name in the long run. They will be asked for their opinion, and they will tell the truth.”
Afterwards we discussed some stuff with the lecturer, like my progess with modern Chinese, which was evidently lacklustre, but apparently it was a shock to a lot of people in the department, because apparently I’m a niche celebrity because it is held by a lot of people that I am “very good” at Classical.
He recommended I read modern translations of ancient philosophy, so that I read interesting things while practicing modern vocabulary. He said that gave a big boost to his language skills.
Afterwards I went home and emptied my bag and rested a bit, before going back to my evening German class. During a discussion the topic of fish-soup came up and how there’s two schools of making it in Hungary, one for Baja and one for Szeged. The point was that the teacher didn’t know the German name for Baja and I knew it so I said it without thinking much and he was surprised that I did it so nonchalantly and I told him that I have relatives there. Then came a few seconds of silence and I said “I have nothing else to add. I know sometimes my face says I want to say something, but I don’t have anything else to say about this.” and there was a laugh, but I’m unsure if the others laughed with us or at me.
During a 1:1 discussion practice we talked a bit about work experience and delegating tasks and I was honest about how I delegated work during my summer job I disliked but took credit for general progress on the project and he looked at me completely amazed, because I think he thought I’m impractical and bookish. He then said that he’s now sure that I won’t have trouble making a living, no matter what happens.
No.10685
>>10684Afterwards we stayed for like 30-40 minutes and discussed literature and throught the topic of there being by a Parsifal translation by someone whom he is disappointed in, we stumbled onto this topic of the “new” Nibelungenlied translation and how Herr XY had his dick sucked for making it and I said “I thought it was crap.” and he said “I know, right. It was utter trash and I was completely amazed how no-one was willing to tell him this is shit.”
And I mentioned how the old translation from the 1860s was still very good but was only republished by a small, countryside press and so on and that lead to my experiences with reading old editions of epics with “nonstandard translations”.
When we finally bid farewell, he told me that it’s amazing how every time we talk I say something wildly different and obscure. He also mentioned that if possible, I write him a letter 15 years from now, because if someone has dipped his head into this many things at this age, he can’t even imagine where I’ll end up in another 15.

>>10676I think I remember reading references to the theories of Engels when it came to the Urgesellschaft, but afaik it was disproven by modern archeology, so I never really bothered with the archeo-sociological parts of M-E, for the same reason why I don’t care what Hegel has to say about Chinese philosophy. They might have been geniuses and influental people, but they were not omnipotent, and sometimes the material facts have disproven their theories.
Also,the biggest issue with reading Marx/Engels/Lenin whoever for me is how they often do not stand on their own, rather, their works spend a colossal amount of time quoting and shittalking some nobody who is only remembered because they got destroyed by them in writing with
facts and logic dialectics, but like, dude, who gives a shit about Mr. Clark and his theory of industry when he was already a loser nobody in 1854?
None the less, I don’t shy away from picking up a book like Anti-Dühring or something by Lenin when the time calls for it during my research. I’m intellectually omnivorous.
Also Engels was an authoritarian cryptofascist, so reading him is not revolutionary.
It wasn’t Marxism-Leninism, it was Engelsism-Stalinism.

Interestingly this book is basically some Mr. Morgan that is used and is added with thoughts on political economy that Mr Morgan falls short of. So it is like with Marx: people did some work before them and it is valuable work but they did not see some things (the critic part)
contrary to what you claim in these works the people quoted are important for their time. Engels used Morgan and Marx' notes on Morgan to write this thin book. It's ok.

in that case i don't rly have anything to add to what has already been mentioned, maybe just some reordering:
1. BakumanAssuming you are not reading all_the_mangas.jpg, this one can give you some meta and background information about the culture surrounding mangas in Japan. I wouldn't rank this one among the master pieces, but the story is decent enough, so that you can "learn" some culture stuff while still being entertained. It's playing in traditional japanese manga production.
2. something from the super popular onesIf you have a genre you like, look up what is really popular in that genre and give it a try. my reasoning would be to know if you can trust popular judgement in comparison to your personal preferences. If you don't know what genre, or really don't know where to start, i would recommend "Death Note". It is really good and popular. i haven't heard a single person saying he disliked it. maybe just some things like "after [spoiler] died, the anime rly is lacking compared to the manga" - which holds some truth, like most popular nit-picking-critism.
3. some graphical web novel or whatevI would even put xkcd here, but something with a continues arc and from an asien region would prolly be closer to the traditional manga. Don't stick to only manga. Manhwa or whatev/whereev from is decent as well. Korean stuff is prolly the closest to producing mainly graphical web novels. problems: i currently do not remember a finished one from the top of ma heda. But you could also search stuff by tags to find something towards your liking. And doesn't need to be a graphical web novel. I would just recommend it, to dip your toes in modern forms of story telling.

As you can see, I have misspelled "beer" as "beet.
As it turns out, "Beet" is the name of some Pokémon character, also known as Bede.

The older I get, the more I get the feeling that America is the greatest country on earth, or at least was the greatest country on earth. Recently read the memoirs of a German who emigrated to the USA in the fifties after he had been a POW in WWII. His name was Heino Erichsen.
It's other-worldly. Even in the late forties/early fifties, Americans had central heating, Telephones, one or two cars per household, etc. In Germany, pic related were still common in the 80s, and that's west Germany. In East Germany, they didn't even have oil, they had coal.

They just have to deal with more gun crime and the risk for them is higher. Such are the consequences of ethnic diversity.

Americans will use "black" to refer to both an ethnic group and a racial category. This duality of usage can be seen in the distinctions between (American) blacks and Africans. The first being this group of people whose origins lay in the antebellum plantation system and recent migrants from Africa.
Let me turn the question on you, Ernst - Do you deny that there exists an African-American (understood as American as in "United States of America") ethnic group with its own culture that is both distinct from other American (once again, USA) groups. It's in the same (but to a larger and more complete extent manner) vein as an Italian American not being simply American for Italian.
If you want to state this case, do it clearly - say that despite their shared culture, identity, history and various works - African Americans are indistinguishable from any another dark skinned man from Africa that recently arrived in the United States of America.
The only possible claim that the German poster who have to this word within American culture is - and only in this manner - to be himself an African American. Possibly stationed in Germany in an American base and he took a break from fugging ur mom to post on EC using Germglish.

I forgot to set my alarm clock, so I woke up late. But I was only 10 minutes late regardless. And they started class later anyway. So yeah, nothing happened because I forgot to set the clock.
Chinese philosophy seminar was okay. This time we talked about legalism, but we glanced over it mostly.
At one time the lecturer told us that we are seeing similar methods being used to build an oriental-style despotism getting constructed in Hungary, and if we do not stop it now, our lives will be “interesting, or well-regulated, to say the least.”
Afterwards during our regular weekly chats he asked me why we seemed so passive, and if it was because of the topic he brought up, and I told him that most people are just not really hopeful or into it. We talked a bit about power-dynamics and methods of control and what I see on my generation (hostility, passivity, assimilation) when it comes to our current government.
“If you focus on just surviving, you will end up surviving your entire life.”
Though he seemed happy that despite my stance to try and isolate myself from day-to-day party-politics, I seem to understand the processes that go into practicing government. I guess that’s a compliment.
I bought a bag of texmex potato wedges because I was getting tired of rice and bread and I planned to have it for two days straight, only for my father and my sister to jump it and now it’s gone, alongside with the chicken.
Of course when I come home in the dead of the night they also throw away the olive oil with the garlic in it I made yesterday, so I couldn’t even have that on toast. I think I almost smashed something I was so fucking mad.
Like fucking dammit why can’t I have anything.
We don’t have lemon juice, save for a 200ml container that expired in 2022 (opened already a lot earlier, it just hangs out in the cupboard) and we use that for tea this shit is killing me.
My pocket still has a fucking hole in it. Things need to be set right. We need to go buy groceries and a fucking needle set.
When I woke up it was snowing and then later it rained through the entire day. The weather was so bad that I considered not going to German class, but I had some coffee and went anyway. Teacher told me that my grammar is improving. Not perfect, but I made good progress.

> They just have to deal with more gun crime and the risk for them is higher.That is the problem.
If someone points a gun at me, my instinct is to instantly attack and try to disarm. No matter who is pointing the gun or what supposedly rightful organization is pointing the gun. Knife? Run. Gun? Attack.
Sure, they want to protect themselves. But so do I.
As soon as someone points a gun at me, it's way past talking imho. And I think it is very likely a police person would preemptively point a gun in my direction. And, like said, that would trigger me to instantly fight for my survival with all I've got.
> > But it's because they racis! Black loves matter!oh, fuck off.
Nobody even mentioned race before you brought it up. Seems like you really like to look at it. Are you insecure about your own race? or why do you focus on that?
Do you think your small bene is because of your race? No, it's because you lack testosterone. take some hormones like the transman you wanna become, pussy.... you portrait yourself as you would know how the americans is, though.

>>11010Well, when you’ve been working together in a close-knit community of the same people for 3-4 years, some things eventually turn into in-jokes or myths.
The energy-drink thing happened exactly once during a late night lecture we had, but it’s the kind of thing that exemplifies my baffling duality where I take half of everything very, very seriously and then I proceed to be whimsical in the rest.
Honestly, this is why I’d probably make a terrible cadre in any authoritarian system. I just simply can’t help myself when there’s an opportunity to make a joke. It’s fun. It’s the best form of mental exercise.
Though I don’t think I ever ruined an entire lecture just by being there. I’ll make a pun because I can’t help it, but I won’t make one every 5 minutes. I don’t force it. It arises from the context. It just happens often enough that they single me out for it.
We talked about this with the head of the workshop and he said that he gets it and understands it, and it’s no problem.

>>11082An excerpt from the introduction
>As a result of these [scientific] discoveries [thermodynamics and (other?) laws of energy are meant here], the image of labor was radically transformed. It became labor power, a concept emphasizing the expenditure and deployment of energy as opposed to human will, moral purpose, or even technical skill. The doctrine of energy thus contributed to a decisive break with the two great traditions that combined to form the Western idea of labor: labor was neither spiritualized as in the Christian worldview, nor deprecated and identified with degradation as in the ancient Greek word ponos, which translates as pain or travail. Equally absent here is the ancient craft ideal of labor as an activity not confined to satisfying needs, but as an ennobling, poetic "accomplishment" (a vision that modern socialism translates into labor as the true path to redemption from alienation and the ennobling of human nature). In the energetic image of labor the intellectual, purposeful, or teleological, side is incidental. Marx, too, viewed labor power (in contrast to labor) as devoid of purpose and meaning, a purely quantifiable output of force, subject only to abstraction. As mechanical work, as "Arbeitskraft," labor power is entirely indifferent to the nature of its material form.5>The discovery of labor power-and its subsequent elaboration in political economy, medicine, physiology, psychology, and politics was emblematic of a society that idealized the endless productivity of nature. Semantically, this meant that the word work was universalized to include the expenditures of energy in all motors, animate as well as inanimate. The Promethean power of industry (cosmic, technical, and human) could be encompassed in a single productivist metaphysic in which the concept of energy, united with matter, was the basis of all reality and the source of all productive power - a materialist idealism, or as I prefer to call it, transcendental materialism. The language of labor power was more than a new way of representing work: it was a totalizing framework that subordinated all social activities to production, raising the human project of labor to a universal attribute of nature.

I had lunch and a mug of herbal tea after class and I feel like instead of lifting my mood, it only made me more volatile.
Philosophy class was okay, afterwards we discussed some stuff and I was let into some dirty little secrets from the department's history which I'll won't share, but it was interesting.
During class I took a painkiller because my head was killing me. After class I contemplated going to the library or going home. In the end I decided with my feet instead of my head and I just turned right instead of left. Went to the library. Of course it was half-closed so there were no free spaces. I left and decided with my feet again. I didn't get off at the college. I went home. My head was killing me.
I had all sorts of thoughts about the state of things around me. Contemplated asking a friend if he'd like to tackle translating the entire Hanfeizi with me.
Of course the other thought was that I fucking hate the flock of tourists blocking the sidewalk and how can that group of hobos have at least two police officers besides them for over 8 hours?
But in retrospect, that idea of tackling the HFZ together with a friend sounds like a good idea.
At home I had some tea and some french toast. Then another painkiller and that made my headache go away mostly. It hasn't been this bad in ages. I wonder if there's a serious weather shift or something.
Tomorrow? Tomorrow I'll go to the library. Study for the exams.
Yesterday a friend told me that I'm the oddest person they know, because at the same time I "possess the soul of a child and a pensioner". Apparently I had genuine sparkle in my eyes during yesterday when my dad dressed up as Santa to give me a bag of chocolates. At least my mother's coworkers said.
Damn, I'm totally melodramatic again. I think tomorrow will be great if I can manage to go to bed before midnight instead of frying my fucking brain with youtube.
