Post good (spoken) books in this thread.

I'll start with the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius. Such a good narration.

I like to look up real estate online. I don't buy any of it, because I wasn't born rich into the landed gentry.

However, it's fun to fantasise about. It's amazing what kinds of homes people can have. It's wild to me that someone people have a hundred thousand dollars and just buy a normal house rather than move somewhere kooky for an interesting home.

Right. The idea that these lifestyles are truly accessible to us is a false one. To truly make it work, you need to be wealthy, not just rich. Not 7 figures, but 8 figures or more. Need to have people working for you and taking care of all that maintenance and hassle.
Otherwise, you'll be paying the difference with time and stress.

Hobnestly, I daydream about a day when a bunch of tower blocks will be repurposed into building for solo wizards - a 500sqft apartment is kinda enough to host a bunch of cool stuff like a CRT telly, two CRT screens on a desk, a funny old Kraftway keyboard, a bunch of oldschool books, a couple of wardrobes holding towes and tees… and other personal rags…





and, a large wooden bunk bed with the upper bunk not being really meant to be used - just to hold a different sleep setup (thinner blanket and such) if it feels too cold to sleep in your normal bunk.


I mean, seriously, tThe Man keeps building "cheap and affordable" tower blocks for people who tend to shit on each other floors and create traffic jams and overall feel out of place in da overcrowded city.

>>69766
Sorry.

My thesis was - in big cities, UTILITIES are more of a problem than BUILDING ROOMS

and repurposing old cranky buildings to "host" people like us would probably fix a lot of problems like traffic jams…

I had thought about getting back into comics for the last few weeks, and started watching some youtube reviewers and channels to see if I felt interest rising to the point where I would spend money on the hobby.

That lead me to learning of the existence of this thing.

The right way would be going to GetComics and reading whatever catches your attention, and if you find you really like, you buy it to support the creators behind it. Actually read some comics instead of watching YouTube and look for things that you don't like and you're not the target audience for.

I read over 800 single issues this year so far from different publishers in many different genres. If you tell me what you're looking or what you used to like, I can probably recommend a couple of things for you to try. DC and Marvel are far from being the only thing available in comics nowadays. Independents are growing at a fast pace and there's a lot of different stuff for you to try out there.

I think the thing I used to enjoy that I had wanted to recapture was the Giffen and DeMatteis "Justice League International" vibe. This is the reason I was leaning towards irreverant, humor-oriented comics within established properties. I wasn't looking specifically for a thing to be mad about, and I do wonder if it's just that I do not really like that kind of thing anymore rather than that that thing has been degraded. It doesn't really affect my own decision to not purchase a thing if the aspect that changed is my own taste rather than the thing itself, but it would make asking for recommendations very difficult and likely counterproductive.

I gotcha. I'm very fond of Giffen's Justice League myself. Just you mentioning it makes me want to go back and read it again. Right now, I'm going through the original Justice League run, so it's a nice coincidence you brought it up. Anyway, check out Ahoy Comics stuff. It's basically a group of former DC employees who wanted to take things in a more irreverent, 80s-style direction. Many of their titles parody DC stuff in a very good way. It might be exactly what you're looking for. Humorous, but with actual plot. Try The Wrong Earth, My Bad, Dragonfly and Dragonflyman, and maybe Babs as well.

Assault rifle - a nice balance between recoil, weight, size, and the cartridge power


Battle rifle - 7.62x51 has ridiculous recoil. Reducing it means destroying user's ears. Good luck upgrading my ears to the point I could full-auto a G3/M14/FN FAL with a massive muzzle compensator

You can make it work. When I buy hoodies and sweatpants from temu I get them in XXL or bigger. I'm not fat but it's better to be safe than sorry. Usually they aren't too big but if they are then at best I have a cool cloak version of a hoodie and at worst I'll look like a wigger from 2004.

(note to mods: so activities here are illegal but Im asking whether this exists, not incentivizing it)
Is there any groups that do ARG as a sport\hobby? Probably they keep it secret but, it seems there's an overlap between chaos Magick in urban centres, underground music (punk, black metal, some obscure electronic genres), militant far-left groups…So far ,by my poor research I know of trends such as:
>extreme graffiti, including dangerous urban exploring, and urban (Clandestine) rappelling
>that sport where you use roller blades in your 4 limbs and slide trough-down speeding cars
>train-hopping (not trainspotting), pioneered in Germany by "youth gangs"
>"expose risk challenges" Bringing a banned item into a place and photographing yourself holding it. Like that nerd with the LSD tablet in Mecca. Maybe Mein Kampf inside a synagogue, a portrait of Bomber Harris inside a Berlin pub, whatever
>crowd surfing, last-hour taking trains or subways, sewer line exploration or abandoned train carriage\ factory squatting ,and camping, etc
does this exist? or am I too meth-headed?

Back in mah day, "I N G R E S S" was a game with a hint of "extreme"-ish adrenaline.


Some "portals" would be located in gated areas.

In fact, at some point, I convinced a guard to only merely let me in for several meters "because I have a bet with my friends to check in here, not a real need to get inside"

Guard was like "oh, ok, nice water tower, happy photoshoot"

It's an imageboard software running with PHP and Javascript. The "Install" is done through PHP once prerequisits are met and is done in order to create the appropriate databases and tie everything together without the operator needing to move things around or manually rename repeating assets when a new board is added.

im now b2 and i consider myself pretty fluent this is the easiest and the most enjoyable way to learn languages

 No.67318

read the book, fluent forever by gabriel wyner(sp?) will help a lot.

different language require some different approach, you generally get good return on building vocabulary though.

biggest mistake people do trying to learn a language is they try to learn by latching onto their native language with those ideas, words, thoughts. you need to build an entirely new language from the ground up, that means not associating your new language words to your old language words, you need an intermediary, a translation and interpretation layer far more powerful for the mind, that is imagery and emotion. you need to build your language up from thinking the target language word, and first thing that comes into your mind are images, and not the translated meaning in your native tongue. that is the crux and major stumbling block/paradigm shift required to be proper successful and where most fail with their language learning.

find a movie you know really well, all the dialogue, get the sub and dub for it, play it in background or on another screen. listen to music in that target language, watch videos. have an actual physical good dictionary for that language next to you, do this as a habit you hear a word, you randomly open up and try find it, try find what it means.

language acquisition is making all these little easy habits that add up and require almost no effort, for years, culminating into almost effortless. or you can train hard all out for a couple weeks.months then forget about it and never pick it up again. i tried both, i made the mistakes, and learned, then got better. maybe this can help you if you try it. that book fluent forever check it out.

I have some cheapo GXT mechanical keyboard with red switches. It's great, it works, though I've also had membrane keyboards a decade ago that also felt super nice. As long as they keys aren't those flat laptop style keys I don't really care much. I prefer the feeling of Blue switches but hate the sound. Browns are just a bad compromise.
