Oh look the gypsy shows up in every thread to shitpost that are completely irrelevant to him
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]
Wars of Justinian, 1.24

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?

How are all you Bernds tonight?
Are the weekends still shitposting galore to increase the post count?

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.
>hasn't bought the Trine games and went on an ebin advendure alone or together with a friend or two
What is your excuse for not supporting Finnish video goyming industry? Please buy, quite cheap on Steam. Music is very nice too. Adventure, puzzle & platfrom jumping

Trine 3 was never finished, it ends abruptly. But 1, 2 and 4 are better. I thought 3 was fine, it has nicest music, and I didn't mind how they played with the camera angle, but it is disliked more for a good reason.
I'm not saying these are some super mind blowing games, more like small comfy adventure to play through with friends. I wouldn't really play alone, but then again I don't play anything alone nowadays, I rather watch youtube videos. I only play co-op.
Sad! Why don't you have any friends?
I have read about Corona virus on wiki. Now explain me why shouldn't it have been made in the laboratory?

What are you even asking?
To add further not only is there absolutely no evidence, but doing so would require a noticeable amount of time, energy, and money. Putting aside the viral genome for a moment, modelling a protein to have higher affinity for cell surface binding partners is excruciatingly difficult and only done in a few, high profile labs in the world. I don't know how this (making covid-19) could be done clandestinely.
Looking at 4chan threads when two policemen came to my home for the housemate.
Fucking shat my pants, almost.

By American standards only the Spetsnaz would look scarier.
You use military surplus in policing. That's on a whole 'nother level.
However I would probably rather commit a crime in the US than in the Netherlands.
Over here it's far more industrialised so the bureaucratic process has no lag in efficiency.
Mostly since the Netherlands as port of Europe is a major hub for narcotic industries and human trafficking probably.
There was this story of a bank robbery where they didn't besiege the criminal, but instead allowed him to leave and then tracked him down.
Since it's too small a country to be decentralised and too big to not have a battle-ready police force, it's pretty much as though you have a buffed NYPD. That's how I see it.
Is it any wonder that during the machinations of the Holocaust, 78% of Jews were deported?
It had the highest grossing annihilation of its Jews among all of Western Europe.
Denmark, Italy, France, Belgium, Sweden, Spain, Switzerland are all Western-European nations that worked in some capacity to thwart the extermination of the Jews. The Dutch held a few symbolic strikes at the very beginning of the war... but that was it. It had the most foreigners in the Waffen-SS and had a strong ethnonationalist domestic party and a chauvinistic attitude to foreign Jews.
My point being that the Netherlands is the epitome of a Republic, a State and that it has an incredible capacity for evil deeds as long as they are deemed lawful. Personally I am thankful religion in the Netherlands is dying and that races are mixing, considering the terrible crimes of their forefathers.
That said they also suffered a great deal in urban areas from the starvation campaign by the Germans in the eve of the war's end.
