yes
What are we waiting for, assembled in the forum?
The barbarians are due here today.
Why isn’t anything going on in the senate?
Why are the senators sitting there without legislating?
Because the barbarians are coming today.
What’s the point of senators making laws now?
Once the barbarians are here, they’ll do the legislating.
Why did our emperor get up so early,
and why is he sitting enthroned at the city’s main gate,
in state, wearing the crown?
Because the barbarians are coming today
and the emperor’s waiting to receive their leader.
He’s even got a scroll to give him,
loaded with titles, with imposing names.
Why have our two consuls and praetors come out today
wearing their embroidered, their scarlet togas?
Why have they put on bracelets with so many amethysts,
rings sparkling with magnificent emeralds?
Why are they carrying elegant canes
beautifully worked in silver and gold?
Because the barbarians are coming today
and things like that dazzle the barbarians.
Why don’t our distinguished orators turn up as usual
to make their speeches, say what they have to say?
Because the barbarians are coming today
and they’re bored by rhetoric and public speaking.
Why this sudden bewilderment, this confusion?
(How serious people’s faces have become.)
Why are the streets and squares emptying so rapidly,
everyone going home lost in thought?
Because night has fallen and the barbarians haven't come.
And some of our men just in from the border say
there are no barbarians any longer.
Now what’s going to happen to us without barbarians?
Those people were a kind of solution.

So is this the new home until casey is not under attack? I went to ylilauta, cat, kraut.love and even ernst but seems like most bernds are active here.

Female coworker invited me to go to club with her for New Years. I don't know if I want to go though, I have work tomorrow and I woke up today a 7am, also haven't felt good all week. Plus I'm sure it will be awkward in there.
But I'm getting old and should stop being a loser I think. Then again if I go I'll probably kiss her and have to commit to something more than playful work interactions.

Also it's not even about kissing her or anything. I could ask her out probably kiss her easily. It's just that I missed out on the experience of doing that in nye. Maybe it would have been a let down, but I don't know now and it upsets me. Also I feel bad because I kind of stood her up even though I didn't confirm I was going, I did strongly imply through my actions.
I have no one to blame but myself though.
Reminder, Soviet Russia was a feminist shithole from the get go. But then again, it goes back to at least the French revolution. And then maybe even back to Ancient Athens?

how many years have you been lurking on KC or imageboards in general?
Is it still exciting and thrilling? Is there an end in sight to your lurking career?
For Bernd it is now 13 years and it's all so tedious but another low energy activity besides Youtube Bernd has not. So KC since 2008 all day every day

>I'd prefer a place with bernds lilke on imageboards but with actual accounts so you can form online frenships to people instead of speaking to an anonymous mass. I hope to find such a place this year.
I had an idea about running a pleroma instance for bernds. (It's like twitter but open source and distributed, you have different servers that have their own board-like feed, but you can also follow accounts on another server through it.)
kctier.club (that this site previously also used as an alt url) sounds like a great url to park that on.
It should be possible to edit the frontend so that it looks more kc-tier...
Bayesian statistics is made up Jewish bullshit and I don't believe in it.
