Welcome, baby Lemmings

I have been wanting too play it but even Oblibion (unmodded) was too dated when I went to play. Excited for the chance now. Now, I don't mind things that are dated within reason (CRPGs come to mind since they are point and click or things like DA1 or Witcher 2)... Where do you suggest I go if I want a fairly modern experience for Morrowind and I am not afraid of Frankensteining mods together?

I sincerely hope this is the next remaster.

I love playing khajiit. The slurs NPCs throw at me make me feel a little more alive.

It's just a tip.

The nazis also kept meticulous records of their victims. This will be turned into a memorial one day.

That should be obvious as soon as you step off any social platform or physical space controlled by capital. Capital has always been a tool for conquerors.

I too have had dreams of the northern lights after they came to visit me last year.

I got one too for reading and drawing and I usually just end up yapping to you lot. It's great when I am not feeling well though.

I call that "office friendly."

Depends on the situation really, it makes me feel the joy of a naughty child. Roll with it. Where you can feed people bad data, do it. Where you cannot, strip it and block it. Obtusify and randomise how your computer connects to the internet (browser spoofs, VPNs, SPN, etc.), use containers (Firefox), support others breaking rules (https://snowflake.torproject.org/), contain your applications (https://safing.io/), spoof things like location etc. This is my little everyday act of anarchism. If people want to fight back against this bullshit, they should learn to stop complying with the folks putting everyone and everything in boxes. People are so used to mindlessly complying. It's my nerdy kind of fun. Make your phone & computer a poisoned apple when you have time.

Sorry, I was not clear. I was trying to say that they're a package deal; you must look at them within the contexts of each other. Both cultures are hitting the same notes based on their propensity for similar historical revisionism at similar times and the relationship is kinda nuanced. I found something more eloquent than my 2am brain.

The main reason for such lack of accuracy is that a thorough analy- sis of the history of the raised-arm salute requires a synthesis of vari- ous areas of knowledge that scholars usually keep separate: the history, literature, and art of ancient rome; the cultural and political history of modern italy, Germany, and the United States; the history of late- eighteenth-century european painting and late-nineteenth-century popular theater; and film history from its beginnings to today. For this reason no comprehensive scholarship on the raised-arm salute has previously been attempted.

With the rise of Nazi Germany, some Americans identified the flag salute itself as problematic. This dissertation refers to the salute popularized by the Youth’s Companion, in which children began the Pledge with their right hand over their heart before extending their hand upward toward the flag, palm up, at the phrase “to my flag,” as the Bellamy salute to be consistent with earlier historiography, although recent research suggests it predated Francis Bellamy, its namesake.467 The Nazi salute differed from the Bellamy salute only in that the arm began outstretched and the palm faced down. The Bellamy salute was most likely based on the mythologized “Roman salute,” which also inspired Italian and German fascist salutes in the twentieth century.468 Although the Bellamy salute predated the Nazi salute and was incorporated into the Flag Code in 1923, Americans in the 1930s and early 1940s were forced to consider whether the traditional rituals of the Pledge of Allegiance should change as a hyper-nationalistic foreign regime seemed intent on overthrowing the democratic governments of the world.46

This is what I was trying to get at with the pipeline link.

Also you must consider the rise of media during this time: https://kb.osu.edu/server/api/core/bitstreams/0c516d4f-431c-551b-820c-2bfed6ec9b4b/content

History rhymes. I unironically think about the Roman Empire a lot because it's a dog whistle. To say one inspired the other isn't wrong when you take a step back, it's just oversimplified.

I think you misread that, in context it circles back to the American one. For more context see here under origins. The American version was very much in the timeline with the inspiration: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_salute

The Nazi's love of America and Rome plus the whole America being based on a lot of Roman stuff (Look at your money motifs... Columns on Lincoln Memorial, White House, etc.), is a whole... thing. People forget the Rome idolization too, but it goes hand in hand with the American stuff.

I've used this for a while. Also, I love filling out corpo surveys because I feed them bad data. It's the little acts of chaos.

If they want real information, they can pay me, and even then, well... :) Don't work for free.

Haha, this is is a stupid timeline.

I pinged @Sal on matrix. :) There's no official chat, though.

No idea, sorry!
