I watched a documentary about a guy that went undercover with a lot of alt-right crazies. Proper straight up 1488 neo-nazi types. The guy offhandedly mentioned that they did initiations and filmed recruitment videos… in the town next to mine.

It’s generally extremely Republican-leaning here, full on MAGA signs in lawns type shit. I still did not expect that. I’ve never actually run into someone that was a blatant Nazi. I think they just keep a lid on this shit in public.

I have met a few ‘just asking questions’ types, though.

I absolutely hate basically everything about modern logos and UI design. It looks like shit, and for UIs it’s not even efficient usually.

Baptisms aren’t just a Baptist thing, though they generally put more weight behind it than most other denominations that do it. At least from what I’ve seen.

I was Pentecostal growing up, and a few times a year- generally around Christmas and Easter- they’d do an open baptism and anyone who wanted could get dunked. I went to one church without that big tub behind the pulpit you’re talking about- they’d do it in the river nearby. Cold as hell in the winter.

Basically every brand of Christianity that I’m aware of has some form of baptism, though the exact way it’s done varies a lot.

Matthew 28:19 is, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”

Yep, almost entirely!

I used to love this game! At this point I honestly remember very little- mostly the commands some servers had to play audio clips. First place I heard Interior Crocodile Alligator. There was another that was just someone shouting “Butt pirates!”

Oddly enough, I remember basically none of the actual game. I might have to try it again!

A ton of them apparently come from regional pricing, or from keys purchased by businesses. Windows offers volume licensing where you can buy bulk keys at a steep discount, basically. The business might not use all of them, and then they turn around and resell them. That’s technically against the terms of the license, but afaik Microsoft has never bothered to enforce that.

I’ve also heard people will take the Windows keys off of older OEM towers and resell them. I have no idea how true that is, but it would also be against their terms.

It’s not exactly likely, but Microsoft could probably just deactivate all of those keys at once if they decided to.

Well, yeah. I’m aware. I’ve just never seen them referred to like that, and I do have an interest in tanks so I was surprised.

TIL the Panther, Tiger, and Maus are also named the Pz. V, Pz. VI, and Pz. VIII. Never heard of the Panzer VII before, looks weird. Almost like a German IS-2.

I got the notification for this earlier, first time a Fredrik Knudsen video has been something I actually have some prior knowledge of so I was very interested.

Man, did I miss a ton of drama apparently.

Parasite Eve

I’ve never played those games, but the retrospective by I Finished A Videogame about the series is one of my favorite YT videos.

MAP = Multi-attack penalty, I think?
