Everytime I see nazi music I just think of that fat sack of poo poo from American History X listening to the local head nazi's lovely rear end recordings or those two girls who hit puberty and realized what their parents were making them sing.

weather will do that to you, though

There's a great book on the siege of Stalingrad that is extremely bleak that just keeps getting bleaker and bleaker. Like the Russians are just totally without food or ammo for wide chunks of it and it's all your standard totally overmatched army surviving by sheer determination stuff, but once the counterattack hits and the Germans get encircled, oh man. They didn't have full winter provisions so guys were just freezing to death at their posts, they eat all the officer's horses and the last few weeks of flights there's soldiers shooting themselves left and right trying to get a med evac on the supply planes and tons of injured soldiers just get trampled to death, and eventually the ones that survive capture just get marched to a prison camp and left to effectively starve to death. During that whole time Hitler kept sending them instructions to hold out because an imaginary relief force was coming to rescue them.

There were a bunch of anecdotes about the cannibalism going on in those camps and I'll probably never forget the one about this Italian soldier with this chaplain who ends up protecting his brother's corpse from hungry Germans for a full night before collapsing (and then the Germans had two good meals).

Can someone explain to me the rise in fascism on 4chan/pol/probably LF if it was still around

Sure. Shock posts are the only thing that get any kind of traction when all posting is anonymous, and Nazis were typically thrown out of anywhere they posted since when they start posting, everyone else loving leaves. So /pol/ ends up a toilet where every other post is jew death, lol, and with the rise of reddit's hands off mod policy towards subreddits, groups end up splintering off for more 'serious' posting and whoops, now coontown is one of the larger reddit communities.

So sort of like how early internet chatrooms led to the furry community exploding instead of being a tiny hosed up subset of the sci-fi community, 4chan and reddit let a bunch of nazis get together outside of their own little ghetto hellholes like stormfront and organize and drive discussion to their forums instead of getting thrown the gently caress out. When your audience is pathetic, disillusioned nerd losers, turns out anime message boards are a good recruiting ground.

I once dated a girl for a long time who had a diet growing up of her single dad saying "I'm not cooking for you, here's $6, go buy something at Dairy Queen." She couldn't eat anything but bland food. I once bought a bag of potstickers from Costco, and she hesitated to eat them because they looked too exotic for her. I went with my family to an Indian restaurant and she couldn't order anything on the food because it all looked gross to her.

I'm pretty sure if we traveled anywhere, we'd only eat at places like TGIF's because "at least we know the food is good."

One of my ex-coworkers will not eat anything outside of the all american diet. He only eats pizza, cheeseburgers, french fries, chicken wings, hot dogs, pasta and like cereal for breakfast.

We took him out to a Chinese buffet once and were breaking through to him at least a little bit and then someone had him eat one of those red peppers in Kung Pao Chicken and he started crying and refused to ever go out with us again.

Like a minute, I hated checking reports. The mod threads were a nice place to relax, but reading reports just involved me sighing every single time.

What is it with strategy games and it being wise to wait for the first expansion/major patch before buying it? It's the law for Civ, Paradox, Total War, etc.

You need to let the nutters bang on it for thousands of hours to figure out the balance changes you actually need to make.

Also I buy so many of those strategy games and play them for a few hours and wistfully wish they had come out when I was in high school/college.

Like I only enjoy playing civilization on marathon speed which means I get to the medieval age like twice before petering out because that takes 10 hours.

Remember when public BETAs were more than just some 3 day publicity event?

I mostly remember buying weird pre-gold versions of games that came on shittily printed Cd's that called the game Doggerfall or HOMAM II that I had no way to patch and had 50/50 odds of containing ridiculous viruses.

Without that I probably would've never become a programmer though. I spent so much time trying to get these absolutely nonsense programs running, fixing .ini and batch files and reformatting my system after I'd bring it to an unusable state.

I remember when Lowtax realized there were anime child porn threads in ADTRW and he went through and banned like a dozen or two posters and those guys got together with Moot to start 4chan.

How in the world did Johnny Cash manage to have a concert at Folsom prison?

I cannot imagine any prison in the world doing something like that these days with a loving gospel band, let alone someone like Johnny Cash.

I randomly watched a comedy special on Netflix that was the comedy central roast guy doing one at a prison.

They interviewed the warden and he was like: Turns out prisoners behave better when there's a carrot to go with the stick, so we said, behave for 2 months and you get to go to a comedy show and most of the prisoners did. He also shot a few bits with him walking around talking to guys in general pop that was pretty great.

So yeah, this prison let a dude come in and basically egg on prisoners for awhile, and it seemed like about as good as you could expect for an american prison.

The forums I was on previously died when an admin stole all the money and I stumbled onto SA because of his quake 3 map reviews and just kind of found myself reading current events. Also the Deus.se.cx article was the first time I saw the goat man.
