>>11672 Hikarin, have you been playing Civilization VII? Do you know if there are any good mods for Civilization VI? I wonder if it's received updates I learned about the Chaoshan region of China, it had been the origin of a lot of derivatives of it's culture, as it had been home to a lot of migration overseas. It had a lot of impact on Singaporeans, along with Indonesian Chinese, who were often the majority landowners, strangely often. Quite a few people there speak a variety of Mandarin that is the closest to ancient Chinese, and they're often referred to as the Teochew people. They also have a coming of age ceremony. Interesting people. https://www.omniglot.com/chinese/ A useful page for people trying to learning languages, a lot of documentation I'd recommend the movies, „An Elephant Standing Still” and „To Live” on https://kisskh.ws/ which I found a lot of East Asian shows in Also try out https://lightnovelpub.org/ for quite a few webnovels, albeit in English, Qidian would be better for Chinese https://www.konglongmandarin.com/ Another interesting website I came across to learn Mandarin from Peppa Pig

「 衆鳥高飛盡 孤雲獨去閒 相看兩不厭 只有敬亭山 」 「 The birds have vanished down the sky. Now the last cloud drains away. We sit together, the mountain and me, until only the mountain remains. 」 A poem about the Jing-Ting mountain, related to Zazen in Buddhism, which is related to the meditation. It's interesting how Japan diverged from Chinese Buddhism with schools of esoteric Buddhism with skull rituals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachikawa-ryu Chinese esoteric Buddhism never really flourished because of the persecution that arrived shortly after it began to be taught, and the name for it is literally related to the Tang dynasty - 唐密 It seems to be undergoing a small revival, with the designation of these temples by esoteric monks as important sites, because of their cultural influence outside China

>>11918 >if any of you hikarins knows how i could stop thinking like that or some other way to fix my issue, thatd be nice. i dont know why im writing this like im having a tech problem and am asking on reddit well... do you think poems are corny? even if it looks corny, what maters is that you made it, and that you made an experience. think in the flow, the best thought is infact, no thought is your game an rpg? i believe in you hikarin!

about 3 fiddy

>>11909 the weak shall inherit the earth

1 or 2 probably

id probably say 2... i can barely carry a chair for longer than a minute

>>11902 Probably around a 7. I do work out but I do the bare minimum. I can easily move 40 lb bags of salt around so idk

I spent my teenage years working with my dad running around on roofs, though I was mostly doing brainless lifting and not much tool work. But it was a lot of fun. Right now I'm just slowly working on fixing up and maintaining my car and getting tools for that as I need them, which is also a lot of fun.

>>11885 Cna you teach me about how to fix cars I have a drivers test soon

>>11889 you don't need to know how to fix cars to get your license silly hikarin you should learn how to do basic maintenance like change oil, replace air filter, replace tires, maybe change brake pads, etc.

>>11890 wait is changing oil easy can i do it myself i dont know how an air filter looks like....

>>11901 yes, the basic idea is: >put car on jack >unscrew cap under car and drain oil into pan >close cap >replace oil just be sure you are putting the right kind of oil as well as using the recommended amount (don't want to overfill it). most of the time you can just look it up. the air filter usually is just something you simply pull out and slide a new one in. that can also be looked up and easily done.

>>11892 Saturday is perfect, I have SO much vitriol towards Mondays

Monday because it's the day of NEET dominance Sometimes I'll go get groceries when all the wagies are trying to get home from work, to add to the traffic and slow them down, while appreciating the environment and looking at school girls, because I have all day. It's comfy.

Sunday, because I still have to get busy in school during Saturday.

>>11331 GUILTY! Hang that nyagan now! I got the rope right here

Bit of a late response but how did that case go?

>>11759 No, not done with uni. Still a few years to go, i'm a part time student so it's taking some time. Working on it tho! >Any routines you recommend to get fit? Honestly I have been lifting so long I make my own routine based on what lifts I enjoy. There are plenty of beginner routines online, as long as you're doing compound lifts (aka exercises that hit multiple muscle groups, bench press, leg press, and lat pulldowns for example) and hitting all of your muscle groups (push, pull, legs, core) you'll be off to a great start. >And have money by the end of the year! Don't we all...

>>11766 Sorry hold on I didn't explain that well. Compound exercises hit multiple muscles. Like a pull up targets your back and bicep muscles. Compared to an isolated lift, like a bicep curl, that really only targets the bicep. And you want to work out different muscle groups. Push is chest and triceps, pull is back and bicep, legs and core are self explanatory. In the beginning it is common to do full-body days where you do an exercise that hits every group each day, but later on weightlifters usually switch to doing each group on separate days to hit them more intensely. If I were to create a beginner routine, it would be something real simple like: 3 (sets) x 8 (reps) dumbell chest press 3x8 lateral pulldown or assisted pull-up 3x8 leg press and three sets of however many crunches you can manage. Don't fall for the meme of autistically optimizing your lifts, do whatever you enjoy within reason. Lifting is in art as much as it is a science.

I had a resolution that I was going to keep my room clean. I even did a deep cleaning of my room shortly before new years but I'm already failing at this since my room is already becoming a shithole again. How the fuck do people keep their rooms clean?

>>11834 On the other hand, im wondering how people get it dirty. The worst I have is desk clutter from a lack of room. I put my clothes in my hampers, make my bed every morning (it takes 30 seconds at most). I clean sheets and vacuum maybe... once a month lol. could be better. What the hell are you doing to get it so dirty? Is it like... food dirty? Like plates???

>>11766 >>11767 how much can u do n00bz?

Never been to one. What books did you get?

>>11882 I got Paradise Lost, and How Markets Work for far less than they were worth since I bartered with the shopkeeper, it was fun. I really wanted a manga they had in a shop but was really expensive.

https://modarchive.org/module.php?180455 not bad

would be cool to have a board that uses the /f/-like layout for tracker modules

>>11829 Could be a unique board in the future if we get more people here but we're already suffering from a pretty severe case of board-bloat
