I'm sorting and checking things in my room because I will probably move closer into the city asap is my goal and that's a good reason for inspecting my belongings. I tried to get books lying around back into the shelve but by now they don't fit anymore.
Besides getting a new shelve I thinking about giving books away at these public book spots. Pretty sure I have books I cringe when looking at I wanted to get rid of the Charles Bukowski books parking in second row for a long time now. Better give them away to somebody who will want to read or need them

Spent most of yesterday just stacking stones and shoveling dirt. Today I did a lot of the same.
We ordered food and it was bad.
My mood was bad throughout the day.
Gonna start working tomorrow. Gotta get up early and take public transport at rush hour. Maybe I can do some reading if I can snag a seat. The routine will help massively I think. It'll be very good because I won't be at home most of the time in a hot room.
There was no bread home and nobody planned to go to the store so I just baked a loaf using the last of the flour we had. I am going to be honest with you it's fresh out of the oven but it feels way too hard when I knocked on it with my hand and feels a bit unappetizing.
Since there was no bread in the morning I just had a glass of milk instead.
Didn't type out the interview. I think I will just do it after work tomorrow. Some coffee and I will be fine and get to the bottom of it.

Woke up, worked out a bit, had breakfast and then I left for work but I was like 20 minutes late because Gmaps recommended the most retarded route in the history of navigation to the point where I could probably have made up a better one myself, I just asked it because one central tram line is not functioning properly but on the way home I followed my own thinking and got home a lot fucking faster so there's that.
Work was kind of bleak. No one I am relatively close to was there so like I just sit there and check pdfs all day. Lunch got like 25% more expensive.
Still don't know my hourly rate so I feel retarded.
Made a point of not reinstalling twitter or discord so I just scribbled down thoughts onto a piece of paper to keep the reflex in check but got bored of it fast even though I had an entire A4 page full.
I read a lot during my commute and also I spent some time online with friends when I got home. Worked out some more at home and I think tomorrow I will try to have a run again.
Also started writing the introductory part of the interview. It's going to be good.
But I'm tired as shit because I spent most of the time just watching anime at home after work which was a mistake. I'm confident that I will be able to tackle working alongside work. Especially if I can just read and keep myself sane.

Is Ernst a data entry person translating short stories and making literary interviews, or is he a translator and journalist doing interviews?
Writing the introduction right now. Gonna do the transcription tomorrow, send it for approval and then send it in ASAP. Got a publication date for the translation too. Won't see any money from this for months but damn I'm just happy it'll be out there for everyone to see.
Yeah, I wrote a page. I think it's almost becoming too much. Just need to tie the interview into the intro. They might just cut it. Idk.

Have you noticed how people say 'I will get X' or 'I will grab X' instead of 'I will buy X'? First time I noticed it was when a consoomer friend said it in the nineties. 'ich hole mir das' ('i will get this') instead of saying he will buy it. I have noticed it more and more in adverts in recent years, but I don't think the phrase was originally coined by marketers. Either way, it's easy to see why an add would tell me to 'get' something instead of telling me to buy it. But the average person is seemingly too dumb to grasp the nature of the transaction that happens when they pay for their purchases. It's like they lack object permanence, but inverted. Instead of thinking that what is out of their field of vision is gone, they think what is out of their field of vision will always be there. Like the numbers in their bank account, for example.
I have colleagues like that. They spent all their money on bullshit. Stuff like water-heating water-carbonating kitchen-faucets with colored LEDs. Or waterproof smartphones that turn out to not be all that waterproof once you throw them in a bucket of water to test them.
Then, they complain about being poor. To save money, they buy pic related. A bowl of rice and lentils with some veggies would be much cheaper. But that is not possible, because a man needs his 'meat'.
I can smell the stench in the office when someone microwaves that garbage. They also drown it in Ketchup. Too mask the god-awful stomach-wrenching taste, I am sure. But then, why eat that in the first place?

Work went by fine. Though I don't know if me just "putting down the shovel" the moment my work hours end instead of just lingering a but leaves a good impression or not.
Picked up a book on the way home. It's a Shestov-volume on Nietzsche and Dostoevsky. I read it in HS but I always wanted to own it because it was good. Almost done with the Aristotle volume.
Felt really good on the way home. Don't know why. Then after getting home my mood sunk to the lowest of despairs, slowly but surely as my inability to transcribe this thing and also because my mother keeps delivering me fucking lectures about money and work I DO NOT NEED I KNOW I NEED TO FIND A PERMANENT JOB STOP STRESSING ME OUT WITH THIS SHIT.
Tried to find a presumedly lost Xanax pill but I gave up because I wouldn't have had the courage to take it even if I found it. Checked the prices and apparently my friend wasn't lying that this shit when prescribed with a 90% state discount is the best bang-for-your-buck drug in the whole of Europe. Fucking thing's like 30 cents if you have an expert prescribe it. (But you GP can too!)
Couldn't resist it and I bought a cheap airsoft gun out of curiosity. No, I don't care. It's a toygun, if I can just fuck around with it for an afternoon it will be worth it.
I guess this paints a very bleak picture of where I am right now but I'm not going to attempt to end my own life.
But like you know what I started working on the interview actually, transcribed some of it and assembled like a quarter page of text and my heart is no longer pounding so hard and I only want to have a fit of crying a little bit.
No.18501
>>18492> desert people are notoriously shifty, and that was ~3000 years ago.Honor and honesty are cognates in many Romance, Germanic and even Slavic languages. I have not checked all of them, but I suspect it might be all of them. That is not a coincidence. The concepts are connected. Lying is considered a dishonorable act. Deceit is considered a dishonorable act. To a certain extent, even breaking laws is considered a dishonorable act. We call such cultures 'cultures of law.'
Honor and honesty are unconnected concepts for goat fuckers. In Turkish, it's two completely different words.
That is typical for societies of herders. They tend to be organized into clans. They are not cultures of law, but cultures of honor. Laws have limited validity. The law is meaningful in key cities, at best. Their concept of honor is not connected to honesty at all, but to the potential for collective clan violence instead. This goes along with an external locus of control. More idiotic goat fuckers will unironically say stuff like "Wallah I had to steal this because the locker wasn't locked properly, it isn't my fault". "I swear I had to stab him, his brother insulted my cousin by shooting a water pistol at him, I am innocent."
This cultural difference was famously observed when comparing the southern United States, which were settled by Scots and Irish, to the Northern United States, which were settled by Anglo-Saxons. One experiment measured the reaction to random stranger insults in male college students. A student would be insulted by a stranger in a hallway on his way to the 'experiment'. Southerners typically reacted much more angrily. Their heart rates were elevated, they uttered wishes for violent retribution, in order to restore the integrity of their honor. Northerners tended to react coldly or even amused to a random stranger calling them names for seemingly no reason.
Southerners are, relatively speaking, the goat fuckers of the USA, and this might partially explain the relative poverty of the southern United States. Cultures of honor are not exactly beneficial to trade, because any member of a stronger clan can fuck anyone over for whatever reason, without repercussions, and it's not even frowned upon. Trade is best limited to trading partners who are blood relatives.
Almends shared between clans do not really exist. They are fought over and controlled by one clan at a time. This is why streets in goatfucker countries are always dirty, and shitting on streets is considered normal, while private living quarters are spotless and clean. It is also why clans fight over public pools. There was a women-only pool in Freiburg im Breisgau. Of course, it attracted the Burka-owls from Germany, Switzerland and Alsace like shit attracts flies. They started having barbecues on the lawn (an almend, to be destroyed without consequences), they drove all the white women out with their behavior, insults and threats of violence, then they started to fight for control over the pool (and fought over).
But there is hope. It only took the English from Edward Longshanks to the failed Jacobite rebellion to civilize the Scots.

I felt pretty depressed while going to work and also until about lunch. Then my mood slowly improved as the day went forward.
I wanted to buy a book online and they had a 2 + 1 sale where the third book's free and I felt lame for actually taking them up on the offer and putting two more books in my basket like it's as if I just acted like a sheep or something. I feel borderline scammed.
I got a Ficino volume, volume 1 of Márai's diaries from 1945 and also a collection of Guenon's essays on symbols and like, Ficino and Márai I wanted to read and if I can dip my toes in Guénon for free then all's well that ends well. Supposedly it's good.
Supposedly I fucked myself over a bit with the airsoft gun because the company delivering it is using some scummy czech dropbox system which apparently sucks massive dick but I didn't pay in advance, so worst thing that happens is that the fuckers just take it back if I can't get it open because their mandatory app sucks.
Jesus I just noticed how many things require an app.
I pay 50HUF a bottle at the store and if I want it back I need to lug the bottles to a machine where they read my freshly generated app QR-code and take back the bottles and send the money to my bank account. Why is this so fucking complicated?
Anyway, got home, took a short nap, lazed around a bit and now I'm almost done with the interview. I am gonna wrap it up and then send it over tomorrow to the interviewee for review and then to the editor so I can finally get this thing off my back. Journalism would be a lot easier if it was my main job and I didn't do it in like the last two hours of the day.

> I'm pessimistic about the whole MA thing any my ability to finish it at all.Bro, an MA is like a BA, it's just more of the same and people might expect a bit more from you. But you have enough excellent grades in the BA to get through the MA and meet that expectations.
I can tell you that doing an MA makes a difference to just doing an BA, you will know more and be more experienced - way more
but this also correlates with just getting older and sorting the things you read differently as when you were younger.You can take a jerb and earn money and then you MA takes longer because you can't take all the classes that are mandatoryin time. I assume that is no problem in Hungary just like you can do this in Germany. Many people do it, most people I know in my MA were having some sort of job and took longer than the two years that are bureaucratically set.
That said, doing something that is close to the field you want to go into later on is always so much better than just doing things like retail, post office, flipping burgers or waitressing. Not that these jobs won't give you any experience but you might have a difficukt time selling that experience as relevant when you apply for jobs in the field you want to go into after university. If you want to stay in university it does not matter anyway. I had jobs in university, I had contacts and in the end it did not matter for what I wanted to do academically and hardly for what I do now I guess. But knowing the office life a little bit from university is better than knowing nothing about it.

You suffer now to have it better later (Note: This can be a total lie), so take any jobs that brings money, and if it's assistant stamp licker at the post office or flipping signs (no idea if they have that in Hungary).
Or you try to get a factory job for during semester breaks; that's a popular thing in Germany - you basically don't work during the semester because you have 8 hours of uni every day, but you work during the semester breaks.

I wonder how people with children can afford holidays. Last time I booked a cheap hotel, it was 100€ a night. Times 14, that's 1400€. Times 4, 5600€. Plus 8 flights, 7600€. Plus what you spent there. You need food, at least. Let's low-ball it at 20€ per meal, only 2 meals a day, that is an additional 2*4*14*20€, which comes in at 2240€. 9840€ for two weeks of holiday. Who has that kind of money?

Stayed up a bit late to finish reading the last volume of the manga I was on and it kind of soured my mood for the first half of the day but chatting with friends helped. I went to work and it was fine. A hour after lunch we ran out of stuff to do so I was paid for the week and sent home.
Emotionally I feel really odd right now but I think it's actually good.
On a positive note: Now that I'm not reading any manga before bed, I can go back to reading actual books instead.
On my way home I bought a bag of chips and a tonic and also picked up a package, which was the airsoft pistol I ordered. It wasn't as much of a hassle as I anticipated based on the reviews of the app.
Took it home and had a lot of fun with it honestly. Just shooting at an empty milk carton.
It's surprisingly fun.
Apparently my mother wasn't angry with me for getting it at all.
Though I massively underestimated how little a hundred BBs is. Oh well. I'll just get some more next week.
Once it cooled down a but I went out and had a run for the first time in weeks and it was liberating.
Might go to a café to read. Though the place in the town I checked out had horrendous food prices. But now that I check another place has a pricing that's more suitable to my wallet.
>>18537I will find something eventually honestly. Truth be told it was only a couple of places I looked so far and I didn't find much.

(Idk about her previous job where she worked at a beach food kiosk as a manager. Yeah, I think she's doing a lot better than me in general.)
Btw she could afford to go on a trip to Croatia with her friends so take the "how can people afford to travel" thing as you will.

Did some research into a Buddhist text I want to read because of the manga's ending.
Asked a friend if he knows something like Ctext for Buddhist stuff because he has a degree in this shit and he was like "The fuck is Ctext???" but in the end he showed me a pretty cool Japanese database that looks fucking awesome. For your consideration, the Taisho Shinshu Daizokyo database:

Buying the groceries was a bit taxing because it felt like nothing was going right for some reason.

I was 16 when SA came out. Everyone understood the ghetto drama references, mainstream rap was at its peak. I really didn't mind playing a black dude because it was a story about ghetto gangbangers doing ghetto gangbanger things. Funny enough CJ wanted out and only because of his retarded nigger mindset brother he stayed in da hood. Anyhow, we also had the black sidekicks in Fast and the Furious, DMX played in films, some of which I enjoyed and probably would still enjoy were I to watch them again.
But you, having been conditioned all your sentient life and spending your formative years in the outer rims of the internet certainly led to a very different perspective. You talk exactly like a typical neo-puritan christian larping chud.
Have you ever even seem or smelled a black person irl? Have you ever seen one of the films San Andreas is referencing? Are you so americanized that you can't enjoy a piece of media if the characters don't look like you?

I was in love with a woman that couldn’t love me despite her best efforts. She couldn’t love me because she loved another, her first love she met during her early teenage years. She still loved him fervently during our whole relationship, and it made me sick. She had soulmate between 14 and 18 and she lost him for reasons she could only allude to due to how much it hurt her. There’s some mourning that never really stop, I think she will never stop to love her first boyfriend, maybe that’s a stretch, but I doubt it. It’s painful to recent somebody for something such as love.
She tried to give me a bit of this eternal love, I believe she’d have liked to feel all of this again and to share it with me. But she couldn’t, I don’t even know if she saw me as who I was, she kept getting obnubilated by traits I shared with her first love. But I wasn’t him.

Submitted the article. I just hope the editor likes it. Went through it one last time and fixed the wording here and there. It should be good.
Spent some time watching random American and Japanese shit on discord. Learning a lot about Capitalist America. Was exposed to two episodes of "The Boys", S2, and I found the gore greatly off-putting and I know it was a critique of society and everything but just because it's a tool of critique, the fake-happy PR social media style was absolutely disgusting too. I didn't hate every moment of it, I just felt like the gore was a bit overdone and I guess I just look at media to escape mass media in a sense, not to confront its awfulness.
Fixed the tubing of the pool. Wasn't that hard when you got new tubes. I got bitten no less than 25 times by mosquitos in the process. All on my fucking feet like it looked like I got a fucking rash or something. They love lingering in the back of the garden. Not in the pool though.
Got a call that I will have to go to work tomorrow. The usual boss will be in. I wonder how much we will get to talk. She has that teacher aura. Well, considering she's originally a teacher by profession. Anyway.
I just can't bring myself to finish the last 10 pages of that Aristotle book. I don't know why. The book just shifts from my desk to the table to the ottoman and then to in front of the shelf but even if I do read something I just never finish it and it's irritating me to no end.

Just woke up.
Am supposed to "work" tomorrow. First time in ~15 years. It's not real work. It's some café run by retards for retards. Officially it is an internship and i don't get monzeys maybe some tipps. It's run by retards by design; integration and stuff. Idiots like myself who failed at life and didn't manage to integrate within normal society. The customers are retards, because everything you can buy there is overpriced and nothing is made in-house; everything is just brought in from some big kitchen, who mass-produces.
The ambience is very nice, though. ..well, once the construction work all around the establishment has finished, prolly.
Already did a day of trial work. One of the retards didn't show up, because he sniffed too much Panzerschokolade. That's the pro thing. Orga/the people in charge are incompetent, but very friendly. They don't mind if you miss a day or two, but you have to communicate it. All the retards "working" there have some kind of problem they are trying to tackle. You can't pay those retards a normal wage, since they can't deliver normal labor.
I've set alarm for today already. Went to bad early (around midnight) and was lying in bed, awake, until ~6-7. I didn't even hear the alarm i've set. Am supposed to show up at location at 3/4 10. Not sure, if i manage to wake up on time tomorrow. I'm thinking of canceling. Could use the excuse of not being able to travel there, since the ticket i am supposed to get (reduced price, 25monzeys/month - and it is for whole of germany... why do i have to pay it myself and why am i getting a ticket for whole of germany?!) has to be applied for before the 15th and it is valid for the following month. when i had the energy to tackle the ticket/transport problem, it was already past the 15th... and i already had no monzeys in my account. If i am to travel via bus without that ticket, i need to pay over 10 monzeys every fucking day. i simply can't, srsly. I could travel via bike - even google knows it would be faster and no waiting times. but, hey, i am looking for an excuse here ;3
Oh, and for that public transport ticket i am supposed to have a smart phone. they actually expect me to take a photo of the certificate, that i can get a cheaper ticket, and send it to them. i also am supposed to install some app - not 100% necessary, i think. i actually need to fucking load/charge my phone for that shit, since my provider canceled my number for inactivity. i still have and had money on my prepaid, those fuckers. and minimum charge is 5 whole bucks. i need a few cents, max. now i have a balance of ~14,60 on my prepaid card. only ever charged 5 when needed. that practice should be illegal.

Making more progress with reading. Actually read a translation of that chapter from a sutra I was interested in, though this version seems a lot different than the Chinese one I found. (Well, considering it's using the Sanskrit...)
It's not as perfect of a narrative match as I thought for the manga but I definitely see at least some parallels in it. Gotta do some digging and ask someone into this shit if there's a Hungarian version of this readily available or not because if there isn't then I put it on my list.

Only event of not was that apparently my boss almost got her facebook stolen by a scam link and the was like
>Don't tell me what I should've done!
to which I replied
>I could only tell you what you shouldn't have done.
And we had a big laugh. I'm a real human bean. Having chitchat in the office.
Friends in the gc texted about how some fat retarded faggot of a public intellectual we follow for laughs basically has decided to open a "cultural coffee house" that aims to build a place for "political centrists" to "get together". So we're holding our next meeting there apparently. Prices are actually bearable.
Went and bought some more groceries, mostly stuff I forgot. The other store had EVEN CHEAPER coffee so I bought two packs. As of now, I have spent two hours of my wages on coffee this week.
I initially wanted to buy only one pack, but it was cheap and my mother's words sprung to my mind in a hypothetical situation where she'd have called me stupid for not taking advantage of this. I told her this and she said yes, I'd have been stupid. Still, she sent me to buy more tomorrow so that we can send a few packs to grandma in the retirement home.
Also picked up a volume of Fichte's selected writings.

This is a railway-hub, but the federal railways are now unreliable to the point where they can't be of much use to anyone. They cancel entire links for months on end due to constructions, they are stripped of personnel, whenever someone falls ill, they cancel trains or stop servicing lines, their rolling stock has been neglected for decades, and they can only dispatch with a totally insufficient number of wagons, so people have to stand, and politicians have made tickets so cheap that low-lives with nothing to do and asylum-seekers overcrowd the trains night and day.

Well, if you have kindergarten and school and doctor near your home and need a ride biweekly, for instance to grandparents, then it'll cost you 1500 euro per year. And a modest car costs 15.000 euro. So it's the same since by 10 years your child will be old enough to use public transport comfortably. But that's in case of one child.
- car needs parking and maintenance and so on

Americanization Uberfication will bring an end to this fascist anti-exhausts regime and cheap brown chauffeurs will be ready for everybody until remigration is done. Germany will sparkle only with fine particulates in the air.

>>18890>churcelWill the solution to global car ownership be the creation of a dedicated class of delivery drivers? Are we saving the world by cultivating a caste of faceless untouchables or will every well established Ernst be roped and dragged to his death behind an underpowered scooter to a cheering crowd of independent delivery contractor?

>>18896>EnvirocommiesEnvirocommies, lol. This is hardly about the environment. Taxi driver is a job that had few productivity gains in the last say 80 years. The cost of products that see slim productivity gains rises faster than overall inflation. In Germany, of course, the effect is amplified by high taxation.
>>18898But as long as their is an ample supply of low-skill low-wage immigrants, things will only grow worse. It's no surprise that those who order most from amazon and who have the most food delivered are usually self-righteous no-nations-no-borders young urban hipsters.
Maybe if we get enough Africans, Claudius and Emma can actually afford to have their weekly shopping delivered by cargo-bicycle, and then, we will truly live in the best of all Germanies, right?
>>18890Uber is a prime example of bogus self employment. They have been called innovative, but I have no idea what's innovative about tax evasion. It's been around for as long as there have been taxes.

boomers in other words. Also, Russo-Germs are ordering the most in online shops. They are very self-righteous when it comes to consuming products.

>>18904You can't stand a honest worker sharing his experience of using his whole body to move things around with his bare hands? Sweating while pushing cat litter, fragrances, books, small electronics parts clothing, wine, fitness devices and all that shit having a calculate 90 seconds to get the job done each time? To people who vote CDU, think black people are suspicious and that want a little fun on their life? A new top, the new book by Kopp Verlag, that smart watch or the plastic toy your daughter wanted when she looked over your shoulder while you scrolled Ebay to relieve some stress after work?
The only sweat you know comes from anfrily typing word sequences that aim to prove your moral superiority to others below you. The pale citoyen can only lose. Remember that, boy.
