If you like age of sale ships, there's a YouTuber named Drachinifel whose channel would be a good starting point. He covers naval history from the ancient era to WW2. He also gives book recommendations. https://youtube.com/@Drachinifel

nine-gear crow posted:Early to mid 00s. The widespread popularization of console gaming with the Nintendo 64, PlayStation/PlayStation 2 and Xbox meant people could play the same video games at home that they could at the arcade anytime they wanted and for functionally free once they bought the game, and mass produced consoles were cheaper to make and buy than giant rear end arcade video game cabinets. Some small spaces bring back the nostalgia of arcades, but also appeal to adults; they have a cover charge, you can buy alcohol, and all the machines are set to free play. Only issue is that the hardware is usually original cabinet which might have issues, particularly with a bad screen or loose stick, or something else equally frustrating. But that depends on who's running it and how well it's doing. There's business in nostalgia, then as now. Someone is voluntarily stuck in a niche age of yesteryear and carries that torch of their own volition, and are willing to invite you to visit.

sebmojo posted:Hi Harvey. If you click the little link by the video and select don't show me more videos like this it works well to get rid of ones you don't like. This. It also helps to 'like' the videos you do actually like. After a week or so, the almighty algorhythm will have figured out exactly what kind of person you are, and the videos you are most likely to click on. It is a self amplifying system (like many things out there on the modern internet). This, however, also works for conspiracy nutcases who will exclusively see videos that support their conspiracy theories, because that's what they click on and like most. So you end up with a hole of misinformation that you'll only get out of, if you delete your viewing history and hit the 'I want to watch something new' button that sometimes shows up on the youtube home page, that shows you some videos that don't adhere to the profile youtube made of you. All modern social sites make hidden profiles of you, and they all know a shitton more about you than you'd think. Give it a few weeks and they'll be able to pinpoint your location within a few blocks, your sexuality, gender, political views, race etc etc just by cross referencing the things you click on, versus known people from that demographic. It's good because i like to watch videos about old shitboxes and electronics. It's bad because... Well, the platform owns the data and although youtube isn't using it for nefarious purposes, i have no clue what will happen when youtube eventually goes bankrupt and my data goes up for sale to the highest bidder.

I'm not being sarcastic. Y'all did what you thought was right to "protect" me from myself and others. That was sweet. Chef's kiss and all that.

harveys zoo zoos posted:i've seen a few episodes of the original but not many. i think the show started around the time i went in. but cousin todd loves beavis and butthead and talks about the new one. we did have a guy named butthead but no beavis. The arcade scene suffered a lot in the 2000s, home consoles and computers and later phone games overtook them quite a bit because you could just do it on the internet and you dind't really need to go anywhere in particular. the pandemic definitely didn't help the remaining ones. I actually still have some in my area where they have a ton of Pinball, music games, shooters, and fighters like i mentioned. And a snack and drink counter of course. gotta fuel up with zoo zoos. Funnily enough we actually had Gauntlet for a while too but they switched that one out at some point and i miss it. I also always put in at least 1 round at the basketball hoops, i actually managed to get the high score the last time i went there.

cumpantry posted:how was the movie? did i miss you talking about it holy cow the movie was awesome i loved it so the first weird thing to me was buying the ticket from a touch screen thing. i don't remember if the early 90s had those printed tickets with the show time on it or if they were just the old generic brown or red tear off tickets then cousin todd paid for my popcorn and milk duds and water and it was more than the movie what the hell. i had to go a different counter to get the popcorn bag filled. the theater oh my god i don't know where to start. the seats were powered recliners i've never seen anything like that in my life. cousin todd said some theaters have a full kitchen and bar and they bring food to you. wow. the screen seemed way way way bigger than what i can remember. and of course the sound holy crap the sound blew me away just in the previews the popcorn wasn't as salty as i expected. i put my zoo zoos, milk duds, in the popcorn and let the chocolate melt a little. i like the soft and crunchy and salty sweet combo. the movie itself was great. i'm sure i missed a lot of things because i was just amazed by the whole experience. cousin todd said i was grinning the entire time. i loved the part where the characters from the 80s cartoon showed up hahahah that made me happy. and the part where the camera zoomed out and the maze thing looked like the old grid paper we used to play dnd that was very cool the actors were great especially the main guy edgin and also doric, it seemed to me like they had a ton of fun making the movie and i hope there are more tell me what kind of zoo zoos do you like to get at the movies

Ever since a theater opened near me with those recliner seats I've been going a lot more. And I'm simple - give me popcorn, a large Coke Zero, and some Milk Duds. Sometimes nachos if I have a craving for cheapo gas station chips.

Poohs Packin posted:Hello from Australia harvey zoo zoos, hey this is a good question i'm glad you asked it yes there are tons of books on the ban list. i don't know how they decide but my guess is it is different state to state or maybe even depending on the warden. porn of any kind is banned but i remember when i first got there, a playboy issue of pamela anderson had been passed around for a long time haha it was in very bad shape. in fact it wasnt even the complete issue, it was just pages of her stapled together. small fights broke out over that thing hahahaha sometimes we'd have photocopies of porn rags smuggled in some of the banned books that i can remember were - 'the color purple', a lot of black culture literature actually no surprise there 'papillon' - i wanted to read that one because i loved the movie as a kid a lot of the 'for dummies' books 'fight club' random single issues of magazines like gq and maxim and men's life - i don't know what was in those issues not in the other issues books about tattooing 'the lovely bones' - i just read this one actually books about serial killers and the mafia the quran wasn't banned but scholarly books on it were most of the time we could only get books from the publisher or an approved seller. but if you were a good inmate they'd allow family to send some too. haha no, i never got attacked with poop but i saw it happen. we called it glookie or glock dookie.

oh and speaking of serial killer books i'm surprised no one has asked this yes i knew serial killers. one was a guy who killed 8 prostitutes. the other killed 6 people and scalped some of the victims. those guys weren't in our facility very long, only temporary until they were transferred somewhere else

harveys zoo zoos posted:thanks for the tips and explanation about youtube. i was wondering why i got videos about flat earth in my list like what the hell man that's just dumb. even i know that's not right come on. we were always dumb but now we're dumber AND it's all more visible thanks to social media. major factors have included consolidation of the news and entertainment media into like 5 companies and the construction of an all-encompassing right wing alternate media ecosystem that people can disappear into, spearheaded by fox news. basically, every ominous social trend that people riffed on in 1980s dystopias kept going and got much worse, and a good 30-40% of the population now totally agrees with the john birch society the cryptocurrency thing has some other factors too, like people feeling like it's about time for a new economic frontier to open up and that not happening, and also seeing that they can't get ahead in the normal economy, with scam artists stepping in to sell them hope. it's also super-convenient for intelligence services and law enforcement because everything in cryptocurrency is publicly logged forever (but you also need manpower to comb over the records and connect people to their activities) in general it's people trying to squeeze the last blood from the stone that is the internet Tungsten fucked around with this message at 16:35 on May 29, 2023 |

I’m a Red Vines person myself, but occasionally will go for Sour Patch Kids. But yeah the pro move is to hit up a corner store for a bottle of soda and your candy and only buy the popcorn at the theater.

The theater I go to shares a parking lot with a mellow mushroom so I like to get tanked on purple Haze, stuff myself to the point of discomfort with beer cheese and pretzel bread, then waddle over to the theater. If that's not an option I usually just do popcorn as it's prime for just shoveling into your maw without thinking.

okay a couple of people have asked what a normal day was like. this changed for me over the years depending on my job assignments but in general it was something like 5 am - wake up for count. when i did food prep i'd wake up at 330 and get started at 4am so the day was a lot different when working in the kitchen. prisoner counts happened several times a day 530 - 30 to 45 minutes for breakfast. breakfast wasn't great most of the time so i'd get something from the commissary like a danish and coffee and a piece of fruit 615 to 730 - morning devotional if that was your thing, otherwise shower or get and read mail 730 or 8 until 2pm - work. some jobs i had were laundry, building maintenance, yard maintenance. i got paid anywhere from 0.15 cents to 0.50 cents per hour. 2 to 3pm - shower, break time, get ready for classes if i was taking any, like my ged 3 to 5 pm - time in class or on the yard for exercise , make phone calls 5 to 6 pm - dinner 6 to 8 pm - self help and therapy groups like anger management, religious services and stuff like that 8 - 9pm - remain in housing area, tv room, play games, just chill for a while 9pm - everyone locked in cells 9 - 11pm - read, watch tv in cell, write letters, have a snack 11:15 - lights out, shut the gently caress up and try to sleep. lights out policies came and went. sometimes we could have lamps on so we'd stay up later. but 12:30am was the hard line for lights out no matter what.
