Something like a petit bourgeois being the most concerned about presenting himself in a non-proletarian manner. So they'll have pity for everyone, but violently reject incels. Quite sad that this oppressed class of people live in fear of even admitting their status of oppression. As rejected by society as pedophiles and rapists, all for the crime of being unable to form a meaningful relationship with the opposite gender. Tragic, really.

I woke up at a reasonable time. I had a light breakfast, ran for a bit and lifted, had a shower and then left for university. I left early because I wanted to fit a trip to the library in.
I borrowed a Middle High German dictionary just to check it out. Also borrowed a book on Neo-confucian terms. The latter is funny because it’s not an actual edition, they just got hold of a copy on a non-permanent basis like 25 years ago and made a scan of it and had it clothbound and everything. It’s a normal book, save for how it’s twice as thick as the original edition is.
Modern Chinese class went well, I could answer all the questiosn that were asked of me. I then rushed home afterwards to have lunch. I made a burger.
Classical Chinese class was frightfully boring because most of it was just discussing Buddhist terminology. But at least I got my “Aha!” moment when the lecturer openly said that it’s a pessimistic aproach to things.
There was also a short discussion on money and I said I think Buddhism can be profitable and the lecturer said “Yes, I do Karma-fighting, somebody can have a desk with Tarot cards…”
“I’ll bring the I-Ching!”
After class we discussed the Tarot a bit and the lecturer said that “Ernst I wouldn’t have expected words like Major Arcana or questions likeWhere do you think the fool belongs? to come out of your mouth.”
Afterwards I had a relatively unremarkable German class. After class I had a discussion with the lecturer there too. I introduced him to using Libgen and now also to Calibre. You know it feels nice to help people.
Oh, and I also bought a ticket to a concert. Tan Dun is coming to Budapest next month to conduct the “Passion of the Buddha” (I say this as if I knew who he was before the opportunity to attend came up) and the college decided to organise a group trip to the event.
(Best part is that there’s a good chance the state will pay the college back the price of the tickets afterwards.)
I buy concert tickets, have packages coming from China but I will still say “Woe is me, I do not have any money!”

You know I really fucking hate how sexuality takes up so much time. When I discussed this with friends said this is normal but I feel like it's just ruining my life and wasting my time.
I wonder if this is in any way related to my half-assed Catholic upbringing.
Speaking of Catholicism. It's odd how often religion comes up at university. Like how people tell you which church they belong to on a familial level even if they aren't practicing.
Usually the smartest people are really good with their personal theology. Or it feels like. It's odd to hear someone say "I haven't a clue if I'm a Catholic or a Protestant".
But thankfully it never develops to the point of animosity or anything, but it's strange how these basically tribal lines are still there under the surface.
I finished re-editing the study. Basically just bowing down before the wisdom of the prof. I mean, he's right on all accounts of terminology, but I still feel sheepish that I basically just accept his modifications.
Re-worded the conclusion to fit better with my current views on the topic, but it's still in line with the study so it doesn't feel disjointed.

Later in the evening my sister threw a party for her friends. I sorta took part in it for a bit, talking with some of the people. There's this philosophy student who's studying economics right now and we talked for a bit again. He asked some really cutting questions.
"Ernst, what do you want from life?"
"I guess I want to just live."
"You know, that is interesting. I know a guy, he works as a civil servant, and he said the exact same thing. Now that he's doing something, he's developed an appetite for goals. Maybe you will be like that too."
"Do you consider yourself a genius?"
"No, I do not. I never could."
"I'd consider you one. I know I'm not one but I'm smart enough to know I'm not one, which is a lucky thing."
"Indeed. But no, I never considered myself a genius."
"So tell me Ernst, do you feel like you're better than the people around you?"
"If I have to answer this, then I'm going to say that as time progresses, I'm more and more inclined to believe it. But otherwise, no, I never considered myself superior to people around me."
"You see, that's interesting, because that civil servant I told you said the exact same thing. That he only slowly developed consciousness of his abilities. Have you ever felt like you're alone because of your intelligence?"
"The feeling of being apart from others has been with me always, but I never linked it to being intelligent. I'd say that's a precedent that leads to bad consequences. If you link a failure to a positive quality, then any failure will eventually be explained by you being too good to succeed. Instead, my feeling was that the others had something which I lacked, that allowed them to connect, while I was unable to partake in a community."
No.14306
>>14305"You know, people often tell me that I pick quarrels often while discussing things with people, but for me that's just being inquisitive."
"I understand it. Though for me personally, it's more like an addiction to rhetoric."
"What do you mean?"
"You gotta go down that street just to see the end result, even if you do not agree with it. The point is to complete the rhetorical line in a satisfying manner. Every discussion you have is an exercise in rhetoric."
"Okay Ernst, but you can reduce everything down to its particles, it doesn't make it meaningful."
"Yes, but it's kind of like with puns and owning people. The goal isn't to own them or to make the pun, the goal is to complete the rhetorical circle and to experience the language in action. The ownage is for the joke's sake, not for the ownage's sake. That's where I derive the satisfaction from."
"Ach so."
I feel like that the fact that he asked these same questions meant that he asked them himself before and wanted to compare answers. I wonder if he was satisfied with his answers. And it makes me feel a mix of emotions, because on one hand I have never had anyone ask me these questions or have anyone discuss this stuff with me in any detail ever IRL and it felt borderline cathartic. We were talking like as if we were in a novel of sorts. The discussion's quality was insanely high.
We also discussed philosophy for a bit and the Chinese system of governance. The oddest thing was how he repeatedly criticised capitalism, but when a girl taunted him that he's studying economics and wants to work in economics, he said that "Yes, and my goal is to reform capitalism from within."
"I love the enthusiasm. That spark in your eyes that you want to change the world. But the realist within me says that the system will chew you up and spit you out." I told him.
"Ernst, I want to believe that even if I start it, I won't be the one to finish the reforms."
He called Nietzsche and idiot. I laughed and told him that Nietzsche would be happy that he's angry at him.
Discussed the Ukraine war with another guest. He works at a chemical factory and was very fired up by my geopolitical analysis of the conflict. Afterwards we talked about pálinka and how the best part about alcohol brewed at home is how each batch is unrepeatable. A very good batch of pálinka is essentially unique and only exists once.
Later I witnessed the group talk about their sex lives and their loves and I fell into despair and retreated into my room. I think I will eventually recover. I will not capitulate to the feelings of despair! Even if it feels like I was thrown out of the blessed state I was in for the past couple of weeks if not months!

>>14311>I guess the railroad made it easy.That's why I initially thought I could geolocate it. But in the end what led me to success was assuming that the location was somewhere close the
palace's shadow and a lengthy two lane
straight road on the side of a slope, with heavy vegetation on the uphill side and somewhat open ground on the downhill side.
Of course I did try to look for the railway at first. Confirmed that it was some sort of a light rail. Having only one track it could've been an industrial rail so I didn't bother trying to use text search to find it. Couldn't seem to find it on the map so fell back on using the winning strategy. Now afterwards it must be said that the track was indeed visible on the map. Must've just missed it.
Anyways, as it appears that the Portuguese are nearly unable to construct a straight road, finding a specific straight road turned out to be rather easy. As I arrived on the scene with streetview the train track immediately confirmed the place. Then it was just about looking at the tree trunks to get an accurate location.

The Edgelord - Contrarian out of principle. His proposed solutions usually involve sending large amounts of people to death camps.
The Snob - Because he doesn't get along with people, he started to read a lot of books, now he acts like a smug misunderstood intellectual. Pretends to like art, but secretly watches trash anime.

>>14375Die Beherrschung der eigenen Sprache ist von unschätzbarem Wert. Sie ermöglicht nicht nur effektive Kommunikation, sondern öffnet auch Türen zu Bildung, Beruf und persönlichem Wachstum. Hier sind einige Gründe, warum das Meistern der eigenen Sprache und das Schreiben von hoher Qualität so wichtig sind:
Kommunikation: Eine solide Sprachbeherrschung ermöglicht es uns, unsere Gedanken klar und präzise auszudrücken. Ob im Alltag, in der Schule oder im Beruf - gute Kommunikationsfähigkeiten sind unerlässlich.
Bildung: Durch das Lesen und Schreiben erweitern wir unseren Horizont. Wir tauchen in verschiedene Welten ein, lernen von anderen und entwickeln ein tiefes Verständnis für komplexe Themen.
Berufliche Chancen: Arbeitgeber schätzen Mitarbeiter, die gut schreiben können. Ob E-Mails, Berichte oder Präsentationen - eine klare und überzeugende schriftliche Kommunikation ist ein Pluspunkt.
Selbstausdruck: Das Schreiben ermöglicht es uns, unsere Gedanken, Gefühle und Ideen auszudrücken. Es ist ein Ventil für Kreativität und Selbstreflexion.
Analytisches Denken: Beim Schreiben müssen wir unsere Gedanken strukturieren, Argumente entwickeln und Informationen kritisch bewerten. Dies fördert unser analytisches Denkvermögen.
Kulturelles Erbe: Die eigene Sprache zu beherrschen bedeutet, Teil einer reichen kulturellen Tradition zu sein. Literatur, Poesie und Geschichten sind ein Schatz, den wir bewahren und weitergeben sollten.
Qualität: Gutes Schreiben zeigt Respekt vor dem Leser. Es bedeutet, klare Sätze zu formulieren, Grammatikregeln zu beachten und auf Stil und Ton zu achten.
Insgesamt ist die Beherrschung der eigenen Sprache ein Schlüssel zu persönlichem Erfolg und einem erfüllten Leben. Möge jeder von uns die Kunst des Schreibens schätzen und pflegen!

Chinese class went remarkably well. Met with one of my female classmates before it. A few hours before she asked me how she could get to the library. Fourth year student but never went to the institute's library lol.
We chatted a bit about things and then before parting she told me to "Hang in there." and high on caffeine I told her "Don't worry about me. I'm not playing this game for survival."
She's going to another university for MA so she won't remain within the college or the workshop and I think I'm gonna miss her because we had good chemistry and she tolerated by nonchalant, whimsical attitude towards things. And before you ask, she's taken.
After class I renewed my borrowings and then returned home to have a meal. I had a meal and drank the leftover coffee. I used some from the new pack to brew this one and it's significantly more bitter than the other one but man I felt great after having it.
The Classical Chinese class went rather well. I was engaged with the material. Guy who usually sits behind me sat in front of me and that way I finally learned that he isn't actually good at classical Chinese, he just uses ChatGPT to do it for him and translates the English version which made me both mad and smug that I'm basically better. (No, I don't care that he's "more efficient".)
Lecturer asked me how I'm doing with my thesis. He also mentioned that if he has the chance he will probably volunteer to be the one doing the evaluation of it because he's curious about my thoughts. So now at least two people are curious about it.
After German class I discussed my progress into Middle High German with the lecturer and Russian literature.
He told me that the college could probably publish my translation of the Rosengartenlied if I write a study to go alongside with it. So I guess I have my summer project cut out for me. During the MA I will remain a member of the college.
If I pull this off I think it'd be pretty funny. (Well, the GLORY is good too, but it'd also be so funny to have an Orientalist publish a book on Heldenepik. Cementing myself as a capable person who can do anything.)
So yes, I have recovered fully and things will be great. This weekend I will knock out half the thesis and then march onto fully devoting myself to modern Chinese.

I have heard people complain about prices, but they always do. Can't really tell, I'm on an IT-garch budget, my rent is 340 before utilities, I don't have a sufficient amount of small expenses to really make a dent, so I stopped caring. Most prices in every-day transactions are random data points
I can remember them, but I am no longer able to properly correlate them to past prices or to prices of items. I paid 3.93 for a loaf of bread today, which seemed kind of steep. My reference point is still a loaf of bread I purchased in the nineties, and that was 2.70 DM.

While I think most self help books are trash this one is kinda good. At least many of the parts I read. It tells you that you are not shitty, failure ridden and doomed. It gives a good explanation for self esteem issues. Not that I lack self esteem in all areas but in some
hence my depression issues and this book helped to understand why and how to tackle that. No panacea but still useful if you have a habit of putting yourself down for doing or not doing things and then get depressed and hate your life.

But I don't know what she wants and I don't want to hurt her. Not sure how experienced she is with this stuff. I can be very tenderly to a woman even if I don't really love them, simply because I couldn't imagine otherwise. Like a love simulation. I enjoy it myself probaly also because it comes with less responsibility but it can be very hurtful if the other party mistakes that for an expression of true love.
Today I met with a friend and her friend by accident in the library. We took a break outside relaxing in the sun and roommates were a topic and they (both late 20s) said that early 20s are still babies you don't want to live together with. Well my angle of recent is not an unresponsible party animal but I am reminded of the age gap as a problem again.
But whom am I kidding here, I know I desire her in some way. And I will continue to probe further. I want to find out.

Today started off bad and then it got better because the sun started shining and I had a good coffee and a good lunch and read outside for a bit, just basking in the light and the smell of the cherry blossoms.
Found a German language Japanese propagandabook from the 30s and I spent like 1.5 bucks on it because it's odd and a period piece essentially. The stamp states that it belonged to the "Imperial Consulate of Japan" in Budapest at one point. Someone purchased it in 1933 if I can trust the inscription on it, but it only ended up at the Consulate later because the Japanese consulate was only established in 1938 due to the Anschluss. (Essentially the Japanese moved the Vienna embassy to Budapest.)
I ran some and then took a shower and left for class, but I foolishly decided to drown the leftover cup of coffee and I've regretted it, because now I feel bad. Like you think to yourself "How the fuck do junkies overdose? Just don't take as much retard" and then you have a thought to yourself "Yeah more coffee make me gooder" and this happens. Though apparently it hasn't influenced my ability to produce complex German sentences. Apparently I'm getting better at the language. Noticeably.

When I write a thesis I gather material just like you did (over the course of a long period even). Then put it together into an argument and only at the end when I know what this argument written out looks like I will write the intro and conclusion. Because even when I broadly know at the beginning what the argument will be like because I already know the material to be utilized, the actually produced middle part might give away things you did not know before writing. Or you restructure the argument while writing etc etc. Writing from the material itself can change how you think about the material, hence "determining" this in the intro seems unnecessary work for it will probably change.
That said, writing an abstract, or a proposal for a thesis is a good thing of course.
My PhD proposal has 9 pages, 5 of them are the proposal "proper". The proposal frames the project, states research questions, assumptions and expected results (so in essence it's already a mini argument), Such a text works as orientation for yourself
and others, your supervisor or some commitee not as rail but guiding star through a still rather foreign country
that I of course read a lot about in the available literature and know briefly from short research trips (student papers) building tracks to travel is fine but building a track to ride an argument on it while not having written out that argument seems wrong to me.
Maybe you simply use the intro text as such an orientation then and will edit it later on. Then what I think of as a proposal might be your introduction. To me using it as an introduction might entail the danger of writing fitting to the introduction and not the other way around where the introduction is fitted to the argument as it is made in the main part.
It's like this fine difference when it comes to research questions:
How did the italian economic output influence Germanies war efforts?
Did the italian economic output influence the German war efforts?
The first question already assumes it is true, the later asks if it is true at all. It is the better question, though with enough material, the assumption underlying the first question can be justified.

Generally, I think condemning artistic expression as unmanly is very negative for the well-being of men. But as someone who doesn't really know how to dance, I can't say I haven't welcomed it. I'm damned if I'm gonna watch tiktok videos to learn dances, and having a culture that didn't expect me to is an unexpected boon. Not that I'd always deny learning how to dance, it's a great skill and something I've missed when abroad - because people are racists and they expect the brown one to bust it down.

>>14556>nightclubThat is what my dancing experience prior to taking classes boils down to.
>that can make you appear overeager.I dance a variety of street dance, apparently. Usually, these are cool? I'd say dancing is intimidating because it demands being comfortable and secure with your body and its movements.
>Generally, I think condemning artistic expression as unmanly is very negative for the well-being of men. Yes, though that appears to be the case only for certain artistic expressions. Many men are and have been very successful artists without being perceived as unmanly, probably the majority of them.
>But as someone who doesn't really know how to dance, I can't say I haven't welcomed it.Well you should try, it is fun and rewarding once you feel it.
>I'm damned if I'm gonna watch tiktok videos to learn dancesCertainly not to learn goofy ahh dance moves :DDD
Attached footwork is what I will try soon as this is from the style I actually learn and it combines steps I already know. It has been 5 months now that I started and I will finally start to combine moves instead of learning them in isolation. My goal is to be able to freestyle to music in a few years so I can dance and feel good
and be thus more resilient toward depression :DDDD whenever I want to (and with others hopefully).
>the brown one to bust it downWill you go to Salsa class with me, Ernesto?
I want to do that soon to learn some latin heat moves (diversify my dance experience) and maybe get to know some cute grills. Dance classes are 95% women btw. no surprises here No.14563
>>14561You posted an article snap that said TikTok is antisemitic and asked me why I am. Logically, I have to tell you that I am not an app, not sure why you think I am but I'm not surprised by some of your intellectual merits anymore, fam.
