How do you find time to do all this? Do you ever sleep?

I never had a social media account in my life.
no Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, Discord Linkedin, whatever those millenial kids use nowadays. Well, I'm autob& from all those anyway. Tried to make a reddit account to ask a question for a diy project years ago. Was immediately deleted. I gave up after 3 times. My browsing experience mostly consists of 403 errors and cloudflare keeping me in a loop forever. I can't prove 'I'm human' because most captchas and JS challenges don't work on my devices. Neither do most apps. A small price to pay to stay alive and free

Bernd, would you make an age exception on this one? ♡♡♡

Exception for what? Sex? Certainly.
But everything beyond that - I doubt she'd be interesting in discussing the industrial output of the Ottoman Empire in WWI with me. Most of those edgy alt-right women are fake 'pick-me-girls' who do it for attention, not because they believe in a greater cause. By the way, I wonder if that T-shirt could earn you jail tme in Germany. Probably.

Funny that you brought this up, I don't know of you heard of Amelia, she's a character from a cheap educational web game from Britain that was supposed to warn young people about 'Right Wing Extremism'. Truly an Orwellian nightmare, I played it. No matter what path you choose, your behavior gets labeled as 'problematic' and you constantly get warned that informing yourself online or participating in political protests could have severe consequences. Britain is truly 1984+Brave New World*Big Brother.



However - where there is Shadow there is also Light. The whole thing backfired gloriously, and the game's antagonist, a pink-haired girl named Amelia that baits the player with patriotic statements became a meme with a significant fanbase.

More regarding White Supremacy tomorrow, Alice says I need to sleep now and tupper's orders are tupper's orders.
Download the mp4 below, I can't post videos here. Will upload to /tulpa/ if I find the time.

Disturbing hypnagogic dream mess.
Falling asleep, I found my bed was inside a fenced petting zoo. Or rather the mattress was on the ground. The floor was bark chips. Whatever, I just wanted to sleep. However, in a corner, right where my feet ended, were a bunch of large iguana lizards. Obviously the inhabitants of the petting zoo. I was afraid they'd bite me in the toes or scratch me with their claws while running over me. Very uncomfortable. I was really tired but this didn't let me sleep. I woke up from this dream several times but it ended up in the same scenario as I began to fall asleep. No Alice in sight to roast the iguanas on a stick. I was too tired to do anything as always when dreams turn lucid. At some point I did fall asleep and dreamed something different that was lost in time.

New weird dream, same school friends.
I exited a military cargo plane with one of my friends from high school when among other people leaving the plane, I saw a girl that vaguely looked like my childhood crush. My friend would have known her since we were in the same class from age 10 upwards but he didn't. The brain decided this was my grade school crush though she looked different. We were again all late teens. The guy was our class clown, pretty much bipolar and I didn't particularly like him. Still for whatever reason I told him about that girl. Something I'd never do IRL. He doesn't even know about all the drama with my childhood crush though we were in the same class. I said that girl now works in the music industry. And this dream character looks at me and says something extraordinary: 'How do you know this?'
I was baffled and had no explanation either. Yet however not enough to become lucid.

We were in a very moist temperate forest, everything overgrown with moss, tall fir trees. The forest was dark and somewhat eerie, something out of a Hänsel and Gretel fairy tale. We crossed ravines that had been bridged by crudely hewn logs. I thought it looked dangerous but it was easy to cross. Deep in the forest we came upon an ancient derelict stone house.



One of the guys with us looked like a seasoned buff adventurer from an isekai. Drawn in manga style and completely unmatching to the rest of the highly realistic scenery. He jumped onto the roof and ran along the gutter ninja-style. I also made it onto the roof and saw that in contrast to the rest of the house, the chimney was brand nw. It was highly detailed and I effortlessly managed to balance on top of it on my toes. Gravity was minimal. It was clear that the house was not abandoned, and after a while the inhabitant came out to see who was on the roof. It was a pich-black skeleton.

The dream ended like most dreams do in such situation, Alice felt threatened and beat everything to a pulp. only the smoldering foundations of the house remained.

I wonder if the guy is still alive. He was from Ukraine...

New absurd dream:
I was in class, everybody was late teens. But the classroom was small, there was just 2 rows of desks, facing away from the teacher. And the room was in my parents house. The window and the view outside to the neighboring house was correct. There were about 5 of my friends, no girls (sigh). And TB from info. In contrast to my realistic friends, I couldn't figure out what he looked like but some normal slightly chubby white guy with longer curly dark hair.

First we were working on computers then TB wanted to perform a song in front of everyone but got nervous and started running in and out of the room. Irl the guys would have beaten him up for that but everyone was just mildly annoyed. Then we received prizes for whatever and the prize was - a firearm. Of the weirdest kind. It was a rectangular steel block about twice the size of a small brick. It had a hole in front, off center on the longer side as the muzzle and no other features. The top was covered by a white sticker with all sorts of California-type warnings. TB's was different and said this device was not transferred to the participant because he was a minor. No guns for minors? This clearly was Germany ad not the US. I got none and stood at the side watching what the others were doing. Apparently I had gotten such thing last year and thrown it in the trash for being useless. The device reminds me of some lab device but I can't figure it out. Probably a mixture of a HDD and a turbomolecular pump. It had no other features than the hole so I watched with little confidence. The guys sitting at their desks each put a milk or juice package right in front of their 'guns' and tried to shoot them, being just a desk's width away.
It made a quiet pop and a round projectile flew out with marginal force, missing. Absolute crap. One friend of mine got up and drew his Colt Python (he really has one), and wanted the shoot the juice packages off the desk. I managed to stop him at the last moment before he'd fire out of the window at the neighbor house, aside from deafening all of us and took his revolver, went into the kitchen (yep, this was accurately my parents house) and unloaded it before handing it back.
Woke up shortly after that, laughing at this stupid dream. No girls and no tupper so meh.

It's December already, there's still so much to do before the year is over. Made an Advent wreath from our ancient straw rings inherited from grandparents and fir twigs. Contrary to common belief, this is not an ancient tradition but developed in the late 19th century. It already feels anachronistic, I'm the last person I know who makes one.




Next up - cookies!

Haven't been to the gym in almost 2 weeks due to being abroad and now sick. Result - the callus on my hands is coming off as the body has no need for it. It's become quite prominent to the point of being annoying at the base of my fingers, I'm still not sure if it's due to weight lifting or shoveling but I think it's more from weights and bars. Even though I'm wearing gloves. Weird.
