what type of study do you have planned? like just self study or looking at any courses?

congrats on taking a step toward a happier future! whatever happend with Cyprus?

Self study and doing projects to build some sort of a portfolio..

My dad never got made redundant so he's got another 2 years before he can apply for early retirement. They still have to build their home so I guess it's not so bad. I planned on staying anyway, mainly because I want some sort of a career.

Sword of truth bro

enjoy the first 5 or 6 books cause those are just mind blowing, those books truly were golden times for me.

The next books (up to 12 I think, not sure anymore) are also good but the first ones are incredibly refreshing.

Sounds good, I'll be sure to read that next.

sword of truth was cool until mr terry goodking started pushing his own political / life ideas as the absolute truth to the readers.

indeed, could clearly see how he praised capitalism.

Capitalism is awesome. It prevents overly emotional people from gaining influence.

It also does a good job of culling the talentless.

talentless at greed, consumption and violence

I assume you're cynically pointing this out just for laughs, but what are your actual views on goverment types? What/who was most influential in forming them? I assume Plato must've been there somewhere.

yeah, when i read plato, he kind of summarized in abstract some intuitively obvious concepts to me, but I'd say I'm most influenced by having an outside perspective on two societies. unlike in abstract, in reality, every people creates their own complex system based on habits shaped by history and geography, totally unlike anything. for example, western civilization has been extremely consistent since the roman empire, regardless of whether it pretended to be a democracy or dictatorship, neither actually existing, sort of like dictatorship is just what they call "representative democracy", and the demos are the chosen citizens of wealth and right color. the primary aspects of this civilization is the concept of private property, law, right, messianic imperialism, everyone shares. i share it too, but i would like to see a society without the concept of private property.

civilization itself is artificial and will never be the right thing for the human individual ...
one problem is you always evaluate yourself by comparing you to others ... this being one of the fundamental things of the evaluation of yourself, there can't be any happiness omnipresent in all human beings, because for someone to be happy, someone must be worse off ...
just quit all this shit talk about society, about the values ...
about the good thing in humanity ...
it's just all lies ... nowadays if you are walking in town and you get robbed or physically attacked, you think someone would come to help you? ... the problem is someone gets himself in danger helping you ... truth is noone will come ... I am even not sure if a woman gets raped someone would come to help ... this is the sad reality we live in today!
truth is almost everything nowadays is unnatural ... humans are just not adapted to it ... evolution is not taking place anymore, it's time of devolution even ...
it's also so funny, because nowadays everyone thinks of himself as so intelligent, many people although they have never reached anything in their life think of themselves as intellectural superior ... it's so funny ... yet they only see physical things ... physical attacks, physical poverty ... noone sees psychological things, social exclusion, mobbing, etc. ... right, we are living in the information age and we are all so intelligent ... have fun being nothing but a slave all your life

civilization itself is artificial and will never be the right thing for the human individual
...

i'm not sure what you're rambling about, civilization is inevitable because people have to co-exist

....
have fun being nothing but a slave all your life

yeah, you're a slave to reality. reality and life isn't about fun, it's about survival.

nobody will ever survive life. so it can't be only about reality. before you wrote this text it wasn't reality, but it is now, for you and us as a reader, for noone else. bringing these two elements together is what it's about.

somebody will survive long enough to make babies with slightly mutant genes, that's all we're really about.

ye, i can imagine doing that, or i wont let it happen and realize something else

also, i have a brother, maybe my view is different because of this. won't doubt that survival of a gene pool is fundamental

civilization itself is artificial and will never be the right thing for the human individual

The fuck? Civilizations were conceived because individuals wanted the right thing for themselves. Survival. Strenght in numbers.

one problem is you always evaluate yourself by comparing you to others

Only if you're an insecure idiot.

this being one of the fundamental things of the evaluation of yourself, there can't be any happiness omnipresent in all human beings, because for someone to be happy, someone must be worse off

Living isn't a contest. If you evaluate yourself to not being happy, it means you fucked up and need to try harder. Blaming it on the system is the pussy way out.

it's just all lies

Funny how you talk about individual perceptions but then devaluate them to a universal, subjective standpoint.

nowadays if you are walking in town and you get robbed or physically attacked, you think someone would come to help you? (..) truth is noone will come

Purely circumstantial. Sometimes you won't get help, sometimes you will. I've been in many such situations myself (a few times on the other side of the fence).

I am even not sure if a woman gets raped someone would come to help ... this is the sad reality we live in today!

No, it's not.

truth is almost everything nowadays is unnatural ... humans are just not adapted to it ... evolution is not taking place anymore, it's time of devolution even

Nature has given us brains with which we embraced the abstract. Everything that came after it is the consequence. From the wheel to the atomic bomb, it's all natural. The complete destruction of this planet is the inevitable progress of it's evolution, whether it's by our hand or by the sun burning out or by a big enough comet hitting it.

it's also so funny, because nowadays everyone thinks of himself as so intelligent, many people although they have never reached anything in their life think of themselves as intellectural superior

Kettle, pot.

noone sees psychological things, social exclusion, mobbing, etc

Hyperbole time! Yes, that's right, you're the only person in the world that beholds the state of the human condition. Have a cookie.

right, we are living in the information age and we are all so intelligent ... have fun being nothing but a slave all your life

You're only a slave as long as you allow yourself to be a slave. Bet you still use debit cards, buy your shit in stores, get your news off of tv and news sites and wear trademarked clothes.

Fuck. I hate this brainwave more than i hate the slack jawed grey-mass tards eating up the bullshit all day long. You're so disillusioned and angry about the state of things, then quit whining and move to a god-damned shack in the woods or bomb a parliament meeting. Destroy something, or destroy yourself. Kill a hobo. Strangle a whore. It's all meaningless.

It's always fun to me to see how people kick and bite, those self-conscious enough to realize the world we live in is shit and they don't like it, but not quite enough to go beyond whining behind a keyboard, writing pathetic little manifestos full of depry crap. What have you done to change the state of things, huh? What give you the moral authority to judge other people? In one sentence you discard people who think they're smarter than others, but your whole post reeks of self-indulging bullshit. You're on the threshold, might as well kill yourself and somebody important while you're at it. Save me the "i told you so" shit when the fires go up and we'll all be scrounging for canned food.

no, humans are owned by this abstract thing called civilization ...
it is true that a human is adapted to live in some kind of herd, but this kind of herd has a maximum of 20 - 30 individuals ... not the anonymous masses of millions of people ... if you live in a bigger city, you don't know 99 % of the people living in your town ...

you always evaluate yourself to others, as much as you want to deny it, you can't.
Trying harder vs. blaming on the system ... maybe I don't want to adapt to the system and still want to be myself ...

the complete destruction of the planet must not be inevitable ... anyway I didn't talk about the destruction of the planet, don't know why you are coming up with this idea ...

yeah I buy things with debit card and get my news from t.v. and internet ... as already said, you as a human being are owned by this abstract thing called civilization ... you cannot escape it ...
also you need people around you, if you try to be independent from civilization on your own, it makes no sense, humans are herd animals (groupsize 20-30) ...

why should I destroy something, destroy others? =)
I am just stating things as they are ... and you can do exactly nothing about it ... all we'd need is just a helping hand and love ...
but these things don't exist in this society ... because relationships have become abstract, everone is owned by his fulltime job, by 3-4 hours a day for for internet/t.v. ... you don't really meet people anymore outside the job, because you don't have to and because you live in your virtual worlds ... and no I don't want to go to clubs doing nothing but talking superficial bullshit, I don't want to go into groups of people, because in groups talking is always superficial ... really this society is so fucking dumbed down, it's unbelievable, outside their school/university degrees people have acquired zero culture ... about what you wanna talk ... man I studied computer science in master, 80 % of the students were just not interested in the subject, they are just doing it for the money ... they don't read any media on what's happening in the i.t. world, you can't talk with them about hardware market, software market, they don't play games, they know hardly anything about linux distributions/programs, they just have no relation to computers ... they know nothing, they just learn for their exams and that's it ... these guys will be so happy in their profession ...
that's what most people are, they just concentrate on the social aspects of life trying to master superficial bullshit talking and that's about it, they have no sense in their life, no meaning, nothing ...

"it's also so funny, because nowadays everyone thinks of himself as so intelligent, many people although they have never reached anything in their life think of themselves as intellectural superior"

that's the price of the our enlightenment, of the media and the technology, but you can't blame people in general for this. everyone gets told he would be able to be/do anything he wants, since they're children. and if you figure out that this is not the case, that everyone is isolated and there is no magical circle you're part of, you gonna get angry and rape, run amok, or whatever.

I agree that the soft capitalism isn't perfect. However, the other choice hasn't even been implemented. How could have your experience been positive?

Sales suck, a lot of people fall into it through work they do during school, and just keep working it for the rest of their lives. I'm glad you left, I hated the idea of convincing people to buy useless shit so some company can make more money.

GL with your developer career!

i was in mcdonalds when i left school and i'm still riding the mr mcdonald train!

"I'm tired of being well behind my peers. Though they say you shouldn't compare yourself to other people, it's hard not to."

So how is aspiring to be a Junior Developer as you approach 30 going to change this?

Most junior devs are straight out of college or graduates so you're not going to be seen as a peer in their eyes anyway as you'll be 8-10 years older than them for a start.

and 10years wiser !

But who are you to comment...you obviously haven't done ANYTHING in your life.

I won a BAFTA in the videogame industry and setup 3 small businesses which cover aspects of work I love doing by 30. I have done plenty and am doing more.

Enjoy your day you empty, angry, undefined, monotonous, anonymous waste of space from the armpit of europe.

six edits and rising. you seem so confident :))

I have not made 6 edits at all, as for confident...
http://picturepush.com/public/8666856

Yep...

Yes you did :>

Prove it?

If I had made 6 edits it would mean you would have had to sit there refreshing the page over 5 times in 6 minutes and recalled each apparent change.

As stupid and crazy as you are, that's even beyond you.

Plus we have seen how a lack of editing has blown up in your face.
http://picturepush.com/public/8768151

Maybe you should edit more...

Oh look, diverting attention, what a surprise!

PS: I was watching and refreshing :))))

I'm not diverting anything.

I asked you to post proof you refused.

I then explained that you claiming 6 edits in as many minutes would mean you would need to have refreshed the page that many times and would require a photographic memory was unlikely.

I then pointed out that sometimes its important to edit to get your point across as I showed how it has backfired for you.

Hi,

This is president Obama. No really. It is. Cos I typed it and said so on the internet.

It's okay, I never expected you to admit it. Your imaginary credibility is at stake :)))

btw: OWNED

You have already been proven as someone who lies about this stuff.

http://picturepush.com/public/8768665

You accused me of saying words multiple times when I had in fact said them once (at the time). Which goes to show the misrepresenting lengths you go to.

SOURCE:If you and your mental health problems want to verify.

Have Fun.

I am having fun :>

What a pretty display picture you have!

Why thank you!

Not as pretty as yours :)
http://www.esreality.com/download.php?file_id=85581

It most definitely DIDN'T get you mad AT ALL!

C'mon Jamie, why deny something as trivial as some edits?

Sorry I ruined your online escape, it was never my intention :)

I love the smell of dodge & denial in the morning :>

Hello DODGE
HELLO DENIAL

Is that the best you have? Seriously?? :))) You got OWNED, get over it!

I had already responded to that here..
http://www.esreality.com/post/2292383/re-gene...pid2292383

Your reply was..

I am having fun :>

So I just took it you had folded again.

So eager to divert attention. Says it all really...

Let's bump this one to the max, so everyone can see how you owned yourself over something so trivial :>

You're the one that's linking to a post you made before I evolved it.

http://www.esreality.com/post/2292647/re-gene...pid2292647

Until you can evolve your point, I see no point in bumping it any further, but if you're feeling out of control and bumping a post is the highlight of your ability, I would give that up for you, as a gesture of good will for getting you to admit defeat..

http://picturepush.com/public/8666856

Owned AND boring...

bump!

Nice title for your Autobiography.

Yes, it is a nice title for your autobiography.

Now recycling my own retorts!
Glad to know you approve!!

you can't get over on something so trivial by him. isn't he owning you then?

you can't get over him owning himself on something so trivial. isn't he owning you then?

the "key" sentence was there all the time, so opposed to #16, he is confident. the rest were just adds

It's funny you should say that, because jamerio denies those edits ever took place, for some mysterious reason, and that's where he owned himself :>

maybe you should read the entire conversation before defending your "mate" !

noone can tell if he's lying, maybe there were 10 edits. but it goes right to #53 anyway :P

Don't worry, I know he's lying, I was watching all the time :) And don't let the length of the conversation or my persistence deceive you, it really goes right to #24 :>

Everything after that is just jamerio's dodges and denial which i'm happy to point out :D

You've already proven yourself to be unreliable and unlike you, I have complete proof of what I say about your unreliability...
http://www.esreality.com/post/2292647/re-gene...pid2292647

You accused me of saying a word MULTIPLE TIMES, when in fact I had said it ONCE.

If focusing on me helps you through your day, I'm glad to be of service.

You can't even keep track on the amount of words that I say, let alone edits, but we can clearly see you thought you did!!!

Your 'persistence'?

You had joined this site on JUNE 25th 2012.

By July 6th 2012 you had already admitted defeat to me!
http://picturepush.com/public/8666856

I have had more persistent skid marks than you!

lol! how much bla bla can a bla bla bla if a bla bla bla bla bla?

Come on Jamerio, why deny something so apparently unimportant as the number of edits? :> Wait, do you mean to say there were more than six? Is that your secret weapon for this "battle"?

My secret weapon is getting you to talk for as much as I can.
You'll do the rest :)

Yeah so while that's approved, do tell. Why deny the edits? :>

Did I beat you at quake or street fighter?

No... Fight your urge to dodge man! Come on Jamerio, you can do it! WHY DENY THE EDITS!?

http://www.esreality.com/post/2292647/re-gene...pid2292647

You've been unable to evolve your point since I replied.

Yes I know you are denying the edits... but why?

Why on earth would you be so worried that people find out that this comment has so many edits? :))))

I'm not worried. If you have genuine proof post it.

You are worried. You're lying again :>

You're the one that was proven a liar on the related matter.
http://picturepush.com/public/8768665

P.S.
Your reading problems are further exposed here..
http://www.esreality.com/post/2292891/re-offi...pid2292891

You can make as many pics as you want, you're still mentally ill.

Aren't you going to ask me for more images? :(

I did in the other thread, but you gave up and disappeared for about 24 hours and did not return, there's currently about 8 requests from me for new images/attention which have gone unanswered so I just figured you had given up AGAIN.

You can carry on if you want, my10 second replies in Ascii vs your 2-3 minute process per image suits me fine, so go back and fill your obligations in the other thread and I'll be happy to start asking you for more images. I just don't see the point when you've not been able to meet my demands.



Run along then....

rofl :D

The only that's clear is you're an existing ESR user hiding behind an alias who I pissed off on a genuine level.

You can post as many as want, nothing is going to cure your core issues which I suspect revolve around unemployment, lack of prospects and having something wrong with you so that you cannot even address that. That does not change with an alias. Still smiling?

Its also funny how when you get schooled on a point you move onto the next thing like it never happened. If you can't deliver enough images, don't make out its me that is not asking for them.

Look's like your still mad at getting owned :))

Smiling? You bet!

That point has already been evolved several times and you've been unable to evolve, so all you do is link back to your point before it was evolved.

That's the beauty of your mental health issues.

"Evolved" being slang for "Dodged".

I have asked you several times to post proof and you have not.
It is you that is dodging.

I posted proof, and you crapped your pants! I can smell it from here :>

It was not proof, it was something you wrote.

My reply to that was to highlight that.

My real reply was this...
http://www.esreality.com/post/2292383/re-gene...pid2292383

You can't evolve it, hence why you keep trying to go back to the time before I countered your post.

If you would like to post actual proof then go ahead.

I'm enjoying this a lot, because I know that while posting all this denial, we both know what really happened, and you're just trying to protect yourself from further ridicule by other ESR users :>

Other users?

I hate to spoil your illusion, but the general opinion is this is just between you and me. You're the one with an agenda, I just enjoy winding you up further.

http://picturepush.com/public/8783961

Choo choo! All aboard the denial train! Going in circles around Swansea since 2005!

Its all there...

http://picturepush.com/public/8783961

bla bla bla... I'm surprised you're brain hasn't imploded with so much denial.

"bla bla bla... I'm surprised you're brain hasn't imploded with so much denial."

Maybe cos I am not in denial.

TWO FAILS IN TWO POSTS...IMPRESSIVE!

At least now we know why you spend so much time in Photoshop!

I didn't say it was "incorrect"... it's just typical chav talk, that's all. Still... amusing to see how you almost ejaculated over it, probably the highlight of your day :>

Clutch harder at them straws!

Photoshop to the rescue!

Grammatical errors to the rescue :>

At least now we know why you spend so much time in PS.

Whatever crisis you're going through, Photoshop is not going to help you.

Yes I'll probably be 8-10 years behind most Juniors, but my aim is to be on a decent wage by the time I'm 35, which will be considerably better than where I would be if I stayed in sales.

In your OP you also cited being "tired" of being behind your peers.
So I was just pointing out this is unlikely to vanish any time soon.

it'll be even worse cos all programmers have an ego.

who cares what your work colleuges think about general life status as long as your real peers have some respect for you, not being a slacker.

You spend 8 hours a day 5 days a week around fellow workers.
It matters.

A Song of Ice and Fire
Supposedly there are editing errors in the Kindle versions.

I personally don't think specific recommendations are all that useful. Especially from people who have only read a few books in their life (read: almost everybody).
Here are a few lists:

http://www.npr.org/2011/08/11/139085843/your-...tasy-books
https://dl.boxcloud.com/bc/1/5e9954c89cdefd00...f7866cbf1/

http://www.reddit.com/r/raerth/comments/cpxkq...ite_books/
http://www.esreality.com/?a=post&id=1602516

http://www.modernlibrary.com/top-100/100-best-novels/

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/4248...-read.html
You can easily find more on your own.

Obviously, each list focuses on different things; you can imagine what gaming communities and literary critics want are different things. But if you know what you want, you can easily pick a book out of an appropriate list with a good sounding description.
Of course, A Song of Ice and Fire, Lord of the Rings and Sherlock Holmes are all very good, but having a few more choices other than the several ones suggested in your (somewhat) closed circle certainly won't hurt.

I am currently reading Malevil by Robert Merle. Its about some survivors of a nuclear attack (rebuilding society after it). I am halfway through it and enjoying it a lot. It is not so dark as for example The Road, so there is also some humor in it!

Yeah that is a genius idea to quit your job without having another one lined up. You should have stayed in the old job, found another one and then be like 'Hey, give me a raise or I will take the new job'. Then they give you the raise, you take the new job anyways and get paid more during your notice.

Why should Jamerio get all of the dole money? Six16 wants some o dat innit.
