I'll begin.

>CHAPTER 1
I woke up in my dream…or I fell asleep in reality. I don't remember it anymore but my eyes were wide open. In fact, I didn't really know because it was dark, I didn't know if my eyes were closed or open. To find out if I was awake, I decided to get up. In this dark, dark room, I realized where I was. Now it all comes back to mind, I remember, unfortunately…

There are going to be face scans and ID checks at every Internet checkpoint. VPNs are denied service.

All of your online activities will be monitored and tied to your face and soon this will include your offline activities with your PC and digital devices.

Everything will eventually be integrated into a single over-socialized AI driven automated system of citizen micromanagement.

You will police your own thoughts and tell on yourself in a kafkaesque court to both contest and find out the offense that brought you there.

How common is it (if it IS even common) for men whom don't really believe\ not 100% in a religion, to join a monastery local of said religion, just to be lifetime NEETs? I know monastics DO work -manual labor- at least the orthodox\ catholic ones, but in general terms…
>no rent to pay
>assured food, shower, clothing
>no w*men
>no gas or car fees, no driving at all, no office politics, no filing taxes ,etc
And yes, I AM asking with a "more than mere curiosity" interest…

ok bros, i thought lolis were just a niche a topic that sweaty weebs get mad over when discussing it
but normalfags caught on and you really get in trouble when joking about it.

Beowulf is the Old English text most cited regarding aspects of Anglo-Saxon heathenry/paganism. However, Beowulf itself is actually a distinctly Christian epic poem. This is most plainly visible in the deployment of Christian morality in the story, categorizing Beowulf himself as "good" and the antagonist Grendel as "evil." But this good-evil dichotomy is actually generally alien to Aryan forms of paganism.

This being the case, it is possible to apply Nietzsche to Beowulf in order to deconstruct the text and uncover lost aspects of Anglo-Saxon heathenry. Specifically, Nietzsche's distinction between good and evil and good and bad as expounded upon in the Genealogy of Morals:

>This, then, is quite the contrary of what the noble man does, who conceives the basic concept “good” in advance and spontaneously out of himself and only then creates for himself an idea of “bad”! This “bad” of noble origin and that “evil” out of the cauldron of unsatisfied hatred — the former an after-production, a side issue, a contrasting shade, the latter on the contrary the original thing, the beginning, the distinctive deed in the conception of a slave morality — how different these words “bad” and “evil” are, although they are both apparently the opposite of the same concept “good.” But it is not the same concept “good”: one should ask rather precisely who is “evil” in the sense of the morality of ressentiment. The answer, in all strictness, is: precisely the “good man” of the other morality, precisely the noble, powerful man, the ruler, but dyed in another color, interpreted in another fashion, seen in another way by the venomous eye of ressentiment.

With this in mind, it can be understood that the characterization of Grendel as "evil" is actually Christian smearing of what is good. Consider two descriptions of Grendel from Beowulf itself:

>… the other, miscreated thing, in man's form trod the ways of exile, albeit he was greater than any other human thing. Him in days of old the dwellers on earth named Grendel

>Every nail, claw-scale and spur, every spike and welt on the hand of that heathen brute was like barbed steel. Everybody said there was no honed iron hard enough: to pierce him through, no time proofed blade that could cut his brutal blood caked claw

This is, in fact, almost identical to the way Oyashiro-sama is mischaraPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Your thoughts on coffee and caffeine?
Do you drink coffee? How much?
Is it a good idea to stop drinking coffee completely, or is there no merit to it?

#1.) Life is likely eternal. The Universe is fundamentally unstable as there is something instead of nothing. There are only so many ways for a big-bang to begin, so that is a finite number of variables. Because the universe is fundamentally unstable it is likely eternal. What is happening is a finite number of variables in an eternal Universe at the very start. The big-bang can only begin so many ways, and even if there is a 1E100 in 1 googol of a chance of you, a chemical computer, being re-assembled, it will happen. As soon as it starts, it is all pre-determined to make you no matter what happens due to simple cause and effect. Due to the expanse of the Universe (which may extend into a multi-verse because there is likely more room beyond the big-bang itself for more instability/big-bangs), each big-bang has somewhat of a high chance to create you even if it is very unlikely to be so. Do not live your life like this is a guarantee even though it likely is. Assume oblivion on death. This is called Eternal Return.


#2.) There is no free will. The human brain is a chemical computer and operates through cause and effect like any other object. If you looked at all of the parts that make-up the human brain in extreme detail, you would find that they are all connected and pre-programmed to make responses in response to stimuli exactly as a computer runs a program or opens a file. Sight itself is built in this way through trial-and-error by evolution (X does not see Y, so keep up the selection pressure until X sees Y or else X does not pass on its genetics/dies while maintaining heredity). This biochemical programming process applies to everything in the human brain including human emotions, senses, memory, and intelligence itself. Every person on earth is primarily motivated by space-time, and the force of space-time interacts with the pre-set evolutionary programming to determine everything a person will do in their lifetime before it ever happens through cause and effect. Everything man does is not his own doing, but the doing of reality itself. Organisms, or everything alive in the universe, are just tools for space-time to run through. Everything in the universe is pre-determined by simple cause and effect before it ever happens, including space-time and man.

Deutsche Bahn have, apparently, released "their own" AI assistant to, say, buy tickets.

TO put it lightly: "their" Kiana is as idiotka as Kiana-chan from Honkai Impact 3rd


I take it the Chinese are _being copied_ by the Deutschlanders in 2025
