i very much believe in these self-help audiobooks. i once saved some incel's life and then one day he just told me about this book he had found. i stumbled over the audiobook version of the book (danks to torrents) and listened to it just for fun.
 
this was when i was 20 and obviously school is meant to turn children into slaves by depressing them on purpose. while i was still full of the energy of youth this was nice to hear something optimistic for once. this optimistic attitude is so much more important then the actual knowledge conveyed directly in the book.
 
when i was young this gave me hope. when i got older my problems with the body of knowledge started because it is so uncritical towards the effects a monetary system has on groups of humans. in the book capitalism isn't even treated as something disgusting or a problem or the malevolent shackles holding back humanity.
 
it does however convey this radical self-belief and the conviction to change things for the better through hard work, which sometimes capitalism pretends to be based on or represent. merely a few saints are behaving fairly while so many are just dirty people looking to get ahead through dirty tricks. ' through all means necessary'. this mindset of capitalism and competition is so flawed because it rewards unfairness. i've heard these bitches try to rationalize their sinful ways. they say life's a bitch anyways so they can be an asshole too.
 
another problem i have is that being rich is not better then being poor. in a sense this being rich is hard work for a lesser quality life in more luxurious surroundings.

i listened to audiobooks like that on my mp3 player while riding bike. i would have loved for easy drag and drop mp3s on the phone and listen to them but phones were not there yet.
 
most of the young guys around me would be playing world of warcraft at that point in time.
 
i listened to many audiobooks and many are garbage but there are a few absolute gems that were so much better then the others and enduring the shitty ones to find those gems was worth it.
 
listening to such a book is having the privilege of hearing the perspective of a dude who used his time to become wise and worked on himself hard. for someone who would like to understand this world to make better choices, this is valuable education. just hearing someone extremely smart talk and through listening to the words understand how big of a scope that person thinks in or in what incredible long terms that person thinks.
 
i was lucky to find out about this, i do think it has enriched my life.

i smoked some of that good good and now i made apple juice from apples juices that i found in the wild.
 
in retrospect i should have tried to grab a whole banana crate worth of apples because there were plenty of trees, but they are a few weeks away from being ripe i think, maybe only a few days, i dunno how fast apples grew.
 
anyways i grabbed ONLY 5 apples and it is barely a glass worth of juice but it's still awesome because it is wild apple juice. wild apples are not like those bitch apples that grew on a profitable farm, they survived the wild without the intervention of the dirty profit-driven part of humanity. obviously money is dirty and it rapes anything it touches.
 
that beverage you were drinking last, that's obviously dirtied by the evils of monetary-based civilization. it is trash. wild apples are probably holy, i shall collect them in the weeks to come to drink better apple juice that is free.

i'm driving down a nice farm road with the van and suddenly i see a tree that looks different then the others. the others only have leaves on the branches but this one clearly has leaves and something else.
 
there are these round objects hanging from the branches under the leaves. i see another tree and another just the same. these round objects, mostly green but a few of them are red.
 
they are mostly still small but a few of them grew early.
 
what is it?
 
IT IS MOTHERFUCKING APPLES!!!!!!
 
so i pulled over (all stupidly at first because i did not see that 10m farther ahead there is this nice parking bay i could have parked in) and i use my latest tool that i bought for 7,95€ at a local item shop.
GermanyBernd2023-09-07 10:32:30 · 3yNo. 286839reply
it is a telescopic fruit picking pole with metal teeth and a little catching bag. it is ~2m long and it can double it's length to ~4m. that's very handy because i have often wished there was a way to get the nicest apple on the whole tree that is still hanging a few meters up in the air where i can not reach it with my hands, not even when i jump, not even when i park the van strategically so i can stand in the backdoor and jump towards the apple.
 
i tried it with those 5 apples, it works but i'm not confident the thin pipes this was built was will hold up to actual usage of the thing.
 
it is a beginner model though that i have to be very delicate with because it does not look sturdy enough, if i pull on it too hard i worry i break it. maybe there are nicer ones that cost a bit more.

however she is poor and she can't come every day like others and spend 50 euros, so I'll offer her to suck my dick for a 20 euro baggy (just about 1.5g of dope, literally worth nothing to me)
 
would be kinda cool to have her come over for her weed while i do homeoffice, the beginning 50 for sex is just an long term investment and to break her, all i really want is cock sucking when i want it for almost free

There are some sources that suggest that the project to develop the Petlyakov Pe-8 cost more money than the project to develop the first atomic bomb in the Soviet Union.
 
One such source is a work titled "The Soviet Union's Atomic Bomb Project" (Das Atomkriegsprojekt der Sowjetunion) by David J. Galper, published in 2004. In this work, it is claimed that the budget for the development of the Pe-8 was higher than the budget for the development of the atom bomb.
 
Galper writes: "The development of the Petlyakov Pe-8 required enormous financial resources, which were even higher than those for the atom project. In 1946, the budget for the development of the Pe-8 amounted to approximately 1.5 billion rubles, while the budget for the atom project was only around 1 billion rubles."
 
Another source making similar claims is an article titled "The Cost of the Soviet Union's Atomic Bomb Project" (Die Kosten des Atomprojekts der Sowjetunion) by Mark H. Levy, published in 2017. The author writes that the budget for the development of the Pe-8 in 1946 was approximately 1.7 billion rubles, while the budget for the atom project was only 1.2 billion rubles.
 
Around 1.7 billion rubles in 1946 corresponds to roughly 225 million US dollars. This was an immense sum, particularly compared to the costs for the development of the atom bomb, which amounted to around 200 million US dollars.
 
It is important to note, however, that it is difficult to compare the exact costs of developing the Pe-8 and the atom bomb, as inflation-adjusted values and exchange rates between rubles and US dollars fluctuate.

i was parking near someone yesterday and spend the night and that dude seemed pretty generic. shaped by his local culture, strange local music taste which kind of seemed depressed and suicidal to me but it would seem normal to local people. he was living on the piece of land i parked in a little RV but the kind that hitches on a car and can't drive itself. he gave up his appartment but seemed very early into his journey into more freedom. had an evil job that he hated.
 
i didn't want the dude to worry so i just kind of did my best to be nice to the guy for a few minutes and i noticed what i noticed so often. when i am nice to people they want to stick to me like glue. after 5 -10 minutes he said he was sad that i was going away in 2 days and he considered it fate that i parked there and that it was a religious experience to him.
 
seems like all my interaction are either intense distrust when i am too distant or religious glue when i try to be nice. when i try to be nice i never find the off button. such cases.

How do you find good places to park overnight?
GermanyBernd2023-09-05 20:39:34 · 3yNo. 286569reply
 
when i drive around i look look out for them and whenever i find one that is nice, i'll bookmark the place on the open source map app. that way when i get tired and wanna park for the night, i usually have a few options lined up. but since i've done it often enough, i kind of know where i very likely find a nice space just from looking at the map since the map shows farmland, small farmroads, woods and buildings.
 
an example. when i am near farms (which i can tell by the light green color) i look for farm roads on that light green that cross each other (thus indicating they most likely are travelled on so much that they are wide enough so i can drive easily on them since the van is 2m wide) that are also far enough away from houses so no dwellers get spooked by the old van driven by the ungroomed unusual dude. then i look for dark green on that wide farm road indicating trees. that's likely an excellent spot.
 
if you upload a screenshot of a map, i can try to guess where nice spots are.

Berlin to Munich
 
By train: 125€ using the ICE. estimated duration is 4h47min but you have to add to that the time and the cost to go to the train station via public bus or taxi or whatever. plus the time and cost to go from the arrival trainstation to where you actually want to go. oh yeah and you need a place to sleep. you have to be at the home trainstation at 04:30. luckily 0 times of changing the train so that's nice. some asshole teenagers are on the train on a class trip and they bully and insult you and make video of you and laugh about you the entire time.
 
By car: 583km, which in my case would amount to 81,62€, estimated duration is 5h50min, that's one hour longer. i start from where i actually live, so no getting to the trainstation first. i start to drive whenever the fuck i feel like it. i don't have to rearrange my entire life to be sure to make that exact time. feel like going a day later last minute? NO PROBLEM WHAT SO EVER. NO FEE TO PAY, NO TICKET TO CANCEL OR RESCHEDULE, NO HASSLE. i make short breaks and strech and drink and cook whenever i feel like it, i might make a fap break halfway through and poop and pee in peace without having to use disgusting public bathrooms where i keep worrying i touch something that has STDs. also i can sleep in the car so no need to get a hotel.
 
i dunno mane train seems so much worse, i rather drive there but you do you boo. maybe people are actually civilized and pleasant in your country and you have no idea what animals people can actually be. if you used public transport in big cities often enough, you realize that it is not the solution people make it out to be.
 
i could accept how shitty it is, if it cost like 25€ to go from berlin to munich but that's not the price. the price is 125€ and that is such a bad deal...

prices for inner-city public transport have been steadily going up over the last years.
 
a ticket with the public bus should cost like 0,50€. for the price it actually costs i can drive 25km. the only advantage i see is that it can drive me to places where parking is impossible and i notice those usually aren't nice places i want to be at anyways. cramped places are torture to be at. just high density, many people in one place, that's usually a horrible idea for almost anyone.

That's because public transport is for tourists or subsidised categories.
Why would you use something other than a bike for a short drive?
GermanyBernd2023-09-05 16:26:27 · 3yNo. 286540reply
bike is nice for completely predictable people. when you know where you go and what you do there and you can take the few things you need for that in a backpack, bike is nice, assuming you can lock it somewhere without it getting stolen or carry it with you when you go inside somewhere.
 
it sucks for going skating though. every gram of extra weight i have on me, even just a backpack, reduces the fun. if i take a helmet and safety pads in a backpack and end up not using them, i reduced the fun for nothing. if i want to switch out wheels or change bearings, it is nice to have replacement parts and tools in the car. it's nice to have 4 different skateboards and choose the one i feel like riding that day.
 
car is like a purse for men where tools fit in.
