But you did?
From the synoptic gospels it seems that Jesus is subordinate to God.
"So He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God." Matt 19:17
"but to sit on My right hand and on My left is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it is prepared by My Father.” Matt 20:23
"Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done." Luke 22:42
"My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" Matt 27:46
Where then did the idea that Jesus is God come from? He never said it, although he let his disciples worship him, but even so, as the Son of God ("Then those who were in the boat came and worshipped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God.”" Matt 14:33). It seems from this at most he was the Son of God.
This is a jar of marbles, everytime you do something to further your NY goals you get to pick a marble at random. The color of the glass marble determines what small reward you get. Ideally 90% of the marbles will be one color, with no other reward than a pat on your back. The rest 10% will signify a proper reward of your choice.
At the end of the year you can count the marbles and reflect on your progress.
What does Bernd think?

Yes. Don't you talk with other people? Just ask your friends or colleagues what goals they have and what steps they take to make them true. Most likely you'll hear many goals, but they'll be actually just wishes as people will hardly tell you about specific actions they make, as there will be none. We don't count some passive waiting for action.
On this day in history...
"An insurrection broke out unexpectedly in Byzantion among the populace and, contrary to expectation, took on huge dimensions and ended in great harm to the people and to the senate..."
What follows is one of the many immortal stories in Roman/Byzantine history, and this passage itself is one of my most beloved:
>In every city the fan-clubs have long been divided into the Blues and the Greens, but in relatively recent times it has come about that, for the sake of these names and the grandstands from which they watch the games,134 they spend money and give their bodies over to the most cruel tortures, and even do not think it unworthy to die a most shameful death. [3] They fight against the rival faction without knowing why they are putting themselves at such risk, but they do know well that, even if they overcome their enemy in the fight, the outcome for them will be to be carried off immediately to prison and, after suffering extreme torture, to be destroyed. [4] So there grows in them against their rivals a hatred that has no cause, and at no time does it cease or disappear, for it does not soften for the ties of marriage, kinship, or friendship, even if those who are divided by color are brothers or the like. [5] They care not for things divine or human when it comes to winning in these struggles, and simply do not care whether a sacrilege is committed by anyone against God, or whether the laws and the republic are being violated by friend or foe, and this is so even if they are poor and lacking basic things or if their fatherland is in the most pressing need and suffering unjustly, they still do not care; all that matters is that it goes well with their “faction,” for so they name the bands of partisans. [6] Even women join them in this unholy strife, and they not only follow the men but even fight them if that is how it turns out, even though they neither go to the spectacles at all nor are led by any other cause to get involved. [b]So that I, for my part, do not know what to call this if not a mental disorder.[/b]

I am bored.
I am not a gamer or a weeb anymore. None of the threads on 4chan can catch my attention. It all feels like stupid shit I have seen before or don't care about anymore.
KC was bad for a while already before it closed down but at least it felt familiar.
I thought it was bad when I stopped caring about games and animu but now, years later, it's even worse.
Now there is nothing left for me but watching TV shows and youtube and trying to get some sense of community on here.
What will be left in another 5 years?

Maybe yes. Sounds comfy indeed.
However lawyer work also sounds comfy.
Law in general means wearing good-fitting suits in a small personal library office with expensive furniture.
Whether I am like Underground man stamping documents in a cubicle in a bureau or i'm drowned in files working on a settlement, i'll be happy.
Are your pockets empty or have you bought something after Christmas?
I (fucking finally) bought myself a symbolic calculator, I hate using Wolfram Alpha, Mathlab or some random online service to check my numbers, typing them on keyboard doesn’t feel right, still.

To be able to get funding here you pretty much need to get money from Elokuvasäätiö (Finnish Film Foundation). It is responsible for something like 42,4% of funds for new movies. and to please them the movie needs to please the decision makers there. It is hard for new faces to get in, and risks are avoided. The Finnish Film Foundation again gets its own funding from tax payer money from the Ministry of Education and Culture.
So in the end a bunch of old bureucrats sit deciding what type of film to fund, there seems to be little room for artistic freedom.
Sweden has also done everything correctly with their economy, even their Social Democrat party has driven through politics that increase wealth and reduce debts - in Finland it has been the opposite.
In America musicians, artists, movie makers get big budgets without tax payer money. Here it's not like that, musicians can barely make a living even if they are famous here.
Drinking ans Mad-Croc Choc.
Tasty but very fatty, giving it a 8/10. This is my first energy drink in 2 months, the stongest caffeine I’ve had has been 3 cups of coffee in that time, expecting a grand ol’ buzz soon. Or heart palpilations and anxiety, that’s how it usually goes.
What’s your weekend drink of choice?

Why have an opinion about anything? You can eat poop then for all I care. Personally I avoid shit, like Reddit, in my life.
This is also why I was obviously joking earlier about turning this site to a copy of Reddit.
That is believable, however, all the places where you are living under the radar is just a matter of time before you get removed.
Personally I think there is wrong with the concept too, the site is clumsy and ugly, but that's my opinion.
I haven't stated I don't care, I have stated it's a shit site that is meant for simpletons.
Just like I think Russia is a poor and corrupt 3rd world country like India and that I would never travel there, unfortunately it is big and exists and has nukes.
I wish them dead and gone, but of course my wishes won't come true.
