    Comment by 'Nikokaro' in 'PlayStation 2 on Android Tablet? [Pictures 1.5MB]'

    Regarding the mediocre performance of your tablet with that emulator, it depends on the fact that it has a good processor, but not powerful enough: there are better ones out there. I'm continuing to look on eBay if I can win any auctions involving a snapdragon 800 tablet.... we'll see...

    Comment by 'Nikokaro' in 'The Door (Open Sesame!) – Rant'

    Wow, you have herculean strength though! 😱 But didn't you move with your mother to a new apartment? This is your previous home, isn't it? So if the door broke, it's no longer your problem, is it?🤔

    Comment by 'Nikokaro' in 'Money Centered – Unsorted fragment explaing a little why I had to move'

    It is true that unfortunately you have ended up in a concrete prison, but at least you have freed yourself from your tormentor. The way you describe him, he is a very dangerous person, without moral conscience or compassion, and capable of any kind of cruelty. You were right not to send your...

    Comment by 'Nikokaro' in 'How Long Do CD-R Last as Archive Medium? (small analysis of one case)'

    So you did this test only on CDs, not DVDs? I would make a clear distinction between the two types. Remember my vast collection of old anime series from the 1980s stored on 50+ DVDs? Virtually none are readable anymore, and very few with much difficulty. Apparently all in excellent condition...

    Comment by 'Nikokaro' in 'D*mn. I just can't think of decent title for this blog entry.'

    You were right to quote me if you want me to read, since I never look at blogs. I only point out this: both stereotypes are a male creation. The thin, narrow-waisted woman with big boobs, lips and ass typically represents the female as a pure sexual object and object of enjoyment, to be used...

    Comment by 'Nikokaro' in 'How to Stop Being a Tomboy!?'

    Hmm... being left alone: an admirable, ascetic ideal, but almost impossible for the ordinary person. Impossible(or almost) to be completely alone, given even our nourishment depends on the other. And the man still remains present in the mind, either as a memory, regret or nostalgia, or as an...

    Comment by 'Nikokaro' in 'How to Stop Being a Tomboy!?'

    Well, ultimately everyone is what they are; no use pretending to be different. Every pretense sooner or later collapses under the test of reality. Besides, even a tomboy can be attractive in her own way, and many men like to discover her hidden and intimate, sweet, sensitive and affectionate...

    Comment by 'Nikokaro' in 'Sadness'

    Nah... I was mainly referring to your implicit ridicule of the divine (God, Absolute, One, Holy Spirit or whatever you want to define It) by calling IT "Santa Claus". And anyway those adjectives also referred to your past attitudes, and I think they are quite adequate. Furthermore, although...

    Don't you see? It is precisely this skepticism, atheism, cynicism that is ruining you! Where I come from we use this crude expression: "scavarsi da soli la fossa" (digging your own grave).

    Comment by 'Nikokaro' in 'Sadness'

    I am very sorry for your psychological condition. Besides, if I understand correctly, they are forcing you to move me away from nature, to the city.... this is terrible. I could not live away from the green and surrounded by concrete, so I understand your suffering. "...some people can do...

    Comment by 'Nikokaro' in 'Phaedrus - The mountain giving birth'

    Rome's past glory came mainly from its political, military and administrative actions, while Roman culture and literature derived mainly from Greek influence and had very little that was original and creative. So what made Rome great was the practical, political part and not the literary and...

    Comment by 'Nikokaro' in 'Phaedrus - The mountain giving birth'

    Roman mythology derives directly from Greek mythology, with a few exceptions. So I recommend that book. I studied at the classical high school, and then majored in philosophy, and took an exam on Roman culture and philosophy, as well as Greek and Oriental (Indian) philosophy.

    Then I recommend "The Gods and Heroes of Greece" by K. Kerenyi, which treats the subject from the perspective of cultural symbolism and psychological interpretation.

    If you are interested in Roman wisdom, I recommend the "Letters to Lucilius"(epistulae ad Lucilium) by Seneca, my favorite latin author. In addition to life wisdom, he also covers everyday life, characters, events, and roman culture in general. You can find it translated into all languages.

    Obviously. Because from something imposing you assume that something equally imposing will be born, that is, that the child will be proportionate to the mother. But if a little thing is born, you are surprised and disappointed.

    Comment by 'Nikokaro' in 'Phaedrus - The mountain giving birth'

    I can assume that the mountain represents something imposing, showy, important while the mouse something insignificant, annoying, even despicable. So, to increase the contrast between the two, and thus the disappointment.

    @Creamu I noticed with regret that I cannot access your full profile. How come? Why the distrust? What do you fear? Do you perhaps dislike me? 😭This is in contradiction to your sociability usually shown in the various forums. I was curious to know what nationality you are, what culture you...

    Comment by 'Nikokaro' in 'Phaedrus - The mountain giving birth'

    Given the loud cries from the mountain, the people expected (and hoped) a great result, a great birth (proportionate to the mother). Instead, only a mouse is born: hence the disappointment.

    Comment by 'Nikokaro' in 'Phaedrus - The Donkey and the Gauls'

    Another original esoteric interpretation of yours.:P Actually the meaning, addressed to the common people and simple men, is plain: some are born unlucky and haunted by misfortune and suffering, and do not find peace even after death.:sad:

    Comment by 'Nikokaro' in 'Phaedrus - The fox and the grapes'

    Yup. This is another personal and original interpretation of yours. 😉 The moral of the story is that when we fail to achieve a much desired goal, then we belittle and devalue it.
