Management made some bad decisions, which affected me in such a fashion that I stopped caring.
If shit goes down, shit will go down, and not by any of my fault. Therefore, I won't try extra hard and work extra hours just to get shit done, because I am alone in the dark anyway.

I watched some Chinese TV and then went to university. I went by a fat woman on the escalator and she threatened to beat the shit out of me because my bag tore his lidl paperbag a bit. I didn't really give a shit so I just got on the metro. She didn't bother to come after me to keep shouting at me or anything.
At the library I handed back a book and borrowed a volume of the dynastic histories. Apparently we have all of them. I got to shuffle around in the storage room to find the volume I need which is always cool, even if I kinda hate having to climb a ladder.
Class went fine. Got home and then I just wasted the rest of the day. Well, I wrote some research notes anyhow.
The weather was very fine. Didn't even need a hat.

>>22582I celebrated at home, around 16-17 people came along. I really poorly organized everything so there were no activities per se. We ate pizza and a cake, drank a lot. My home was divided between two rooms one for people who drank and the other for people who didn’t drink so much.

>>22587>I really poorly organized everything so there were no activities per se.Well, I can tell you first hand that not everyone enjoys organized activities at parties. Most of the times I find those annoying and disruptive to my conversation, and im my opinion it's something that is enjoyed only by extroverts. As long as those activities are optional: All good, but people tend to try and force everyone into participating. There have been occasions where I seriously wanted to punch people, so that they finally stop pestering me with their oh so funny group activity. The irony that they label me boring or socially awkward (which is true) while showing zero social awareness themselves when trying to force me into something I obviously don't want to do, is usually completely lost on them.
Imagine Ernst running around at parties, slightly drunk, hitting on chicks who repeatedly tell me "no, gtfo", then I continue to pester them until they chew me out in public, and afterwards I act like I was insulted for no reason

>>22589I get it. Though I wouldn’t make the sexual harassment comparison, I feel that sexual pressure is something more tyrannical.
During the party the opposite happened. Someone whom I know is introverted and socially awkward insisted upon doing a party game to learn to know everyone. To which I refuse because everyone was talking together and learning to know each other already.

Didn't really do much honestly. But I'm still feeling tired.

the air of respectability around buddhism is quite annoying
it is construed as one of the few or only "true religions", because it's seen as making philosophical, rather than empirical claims
well first of all that's not true, but also, to me the "trueness" of a belief is determined on what kind of behavior it results in
and so far buddhism has no better of a track record than any other religion when it comes to justifying horrific violence, enabling reactionary thought, validating the power of the ruling classes, pacifying the downtrodden, or soothing the guilts and anxieties of the comfortable

No.22606
>>22605The dominant religions are not appealing to modern audiences, even Buddhism is just a form of resignation from modern day challenges. While the whole concept of religion will never be not hilarious, at least it should focus on the big topics of the future. We need a religion of genetic engineering, cybernetics, space expansion and galactic domination. This will appeal to the now notoriously atheist tech bros, and maybe Elon Musk will be their Mohammed, or Christ, or whatever. Imagine what a powerful message that would be: "Become an immortal supercyborg and conquer the galaxy". Beats the faggy spiritual peace, forgiveness and even 72 virgins by a mile.
No.22607
>>22606Oh yes, such religion already exists. I even know some followers. It's about building neurogod (AGI) and achieving Heaven (technosingularity) with his help.
Some tenets and precepts of this religion:
1) Biohacking. You should take a cocktail of SSRIs, amphetamines and other meds in order to improve your productivity of building God.
2) Having family, doing sports, enjoying art are for ineffective losers. They won't be taken to singularity. It's meaningless anyway, since after singularity people will live forever.
3) Render to Caesar what is Caesar's. Professional unions and other political organizations are distractions too. Just do whatever scrum manager and diversity manager ask you to do.
If you think of it, it's an ideal religion for a tech busyness owner.

Googled the vaguely remembered saying about "the most important thing is to give things proper names" or something. Found a funny propaganda piece in Wiki:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectification_of_names> Backed by strong public demands, Taiwan during Democratic Progressive Party administrations puts effort into reviewing the names of state-owned enterprises and government entities to preserve their unique identity from Chinese influence.[24] For those who still practice the traditional Confucian approach to ethics and social morality, the rectification of names has an impact in the way society is structured. According to Xuezhi Guo, "Rectification of names also implies the promotion and development of an elaborately differentiated system of status based on social obligations".Cool.

I only recently learned that "albeit" is pronounced "all-be-it" instead of "all-beet" and that "misshapen" is pronounced "mis-shapen" instead of "miss-happen".
The second one made me feel real dumb because it's way more logical that something is mis-shapen than a "misshappened shape" or whatever my brain made up.
This feels like when I was a kid and read and spoke "Halbedelstein" as "Halbedel-Stein".

Woke up very early compared to the usual. Had breakfast, wasted some time online. Wrote some notes and thoughts. Had lunch and then went to the library. I read a bit there and went to class.
In class I learned more about the translation software and started figuring out I can manage it with keyboard only which is a good sign of things to come.
Also had to help classmates with it a bit.
Afterwards I fumbled some classical Chinese translations. Had some downtime after class so I went and bought a box of cheap tea because I can’t fucking stand drinking whatever it is we have at home, I need earl grey.
Had a fun German class. Lecturer recommended I write a book someday. Which is quite flattering. Honestly I doubt I have a book in me even if some people say everyone has a book in them. (I honestly wish they would keep it inside them sometimes.)

Next up is installing the usual suspects of games, from Unciv to emulators.

>>22624>can't be that hard now can it?Don't exactly know about Android, even with it's ties to Linux, but iOS has been getting some token "proper gaming" love because of how desktop Mac and the phones and tablets now share the same architecture.
I guess in Android and Linux's case it's mostly down to the fact that Linux still runs mostly on x86 processors on the desktop, while phones use ARM, so it's not just the software but the hardware too.
(But I honestly don't want to oversell it because the last "big thing" I heard coming out was the Resident Evil 4 Remake and the performance was abysmal on normal phones, okay on top of the line, but even then, it was cooking the CPU without you buying a cooler to clip to your phone, which is a thing.)
I've been thinking about actually just buying a clippable controller to emulate old handheld stuff like the PSP but it seems a bit frivolous and I don't think I'd actually use it that much honestly. I have an older one but it doesn't fit my current phone.
It seems like that most "mobile gamers" just got used to using the touch controls. You have "controllers" that clip to the phone without addingbuttons. They give you the shape of a controller while allowing you to place your finger on your touch controls like on a normal controller. It sounds insane but it's real. It's happening.

>>22625Yeah, seen that there are a lot of Steam releases on Android now as well, together with the usual suspects of Pantyhose Impact or Fortnite.
Still, maybe it's just my age but I rather play Ace Combat 3 then whatever crap is available on the Playstore or boot up the original FFVII then pay 10 bucks for an Android port.
Controllers aren't that bad though, for games that require precise input like the aforementioned Ace Combat I have one of those folding controllers that you can open in the middle and squeeze your phone inside to give it a nice handheld feel.
Slower RPGs are fine however with the on screen controls, but zoomies playing Fortnite or Rocket League with them are beyond my comprehension.
Another issue I have with gayming on mobile, it's all so multiplayer focused.
>>22626Solely bought a new phone due to my online banking app terrorizing me with the threat of shutting down permanently on Android 11 on my old, unsupported phone from May onward.
It was now reaching 6 years as well and still mostly in top condition, hardly any lost battery life due to thorough debloat without having a thousand apps constantly running in the background.
Shoutouts to Android Safety Systemcore recently, fuck that crap.
>>22627Found Lemuroid today, which promises to deliver me from my former 5 emulators as a single jack of all trades solution.
