Storm of Steel by Ernst Juenger Since finishing this book last night, I have been thinking quite a bit about how I would describe it to someone. I thought of it as a very German book; straight-forward and without any unnecessary fluff. Storm of Steel does not pretend to be anything that it is...

Why no orange?

I am right there with you. It is absolutely astounding how people think we have reached the End of History and that Democracy is the end-all-be-all. They also think that we can explain everything with rationality and logic. But there were very many people in my highschool who were in therapy or...

Collapse of Complex Societies by Joseph A. Tainter Interesting book. The gist of it is that societies develop in order to solve problems, and as they solve those problems they grow increasingly complex. As they become more complex, they develop new problems that they must grow even more...

Modern Man in Search of a Soul by C.G. Jung This is not the first book I have read by CG Jung, and because of that I have less to say about his good ideas. I have already ranted about them, integrated them and don't feel the need to repeat those thoughts. So I will focus on the things in this...

If anyone here is interested in Jungian Thought, this is an interesting take on how it interacts with Dune. Be warned, the kid who made this video doesn't know how to pronounce anything from the book. This one is shorter, a little more straight-forward and easier to listen to. This...

Take away the moustache and the resemblance is uncanny.

I used to have dreams like that a lot. Recently I had one where I was at my childhood home, which was two stories and had a roof you could climb to if you shimmied up a weather-vane. So there were all these zombies around the house and I tried to punch them to death but I couldn't because my...

King, Warrior, Magician, Lover by Robert Moore I had a lot of trouble putting this book down. And when I wasn't reading it, I found myself thinking about it. I think there is a great treasure trove of wisdom in this book. Wisdom that is, at this point in time, greatly needed in our society...

This fucking guy on this forum I post on has a maid and I don't.

Athens, Clarke County. How bout them fuckin' dawgs?

Done by the local probate. So I guess in normal times you can walk in, get married and get your CWP in one afternoon.

Trying to get my concealed carry permit (I have one for SC but not for GA) and I can't get anyone on the phone to make the appointment. Why am I relying on a clerk for my personal safety?

Twilight of the Idols and Anti-Christ by Friedrich Nietzsche. Nietzsche is, in my opinion, an immature man filled with hate. Hate for Christianity. Hate for Women. Possibly hate for himself. Nietzsche is a true modern person who values reason over all else. He saw no need for the spirit. I...

Can you guys stop being faggots and shitting up this thread with images of Hobgoblins?

The Horse, the Wheel, and Language: How Bronze-Age Riders from the Eurasian Steppes Shaped the Modern World by David W. Anthony. First and foremost, this is a book on Linguistics and Archaeology. It is not a book on history, and there is no story here. It would be unfair of me to trash this...

The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious by C.G. Jung I am very glad I picked up this book. I feel as though I found some secret information on life. Cheat codes, if you will. In this book Jung talks about the importance of ritual and symbols in religion, how they inform people about...

The Lord of the Rings doesn't take place in England or Western Europe, but it is a clearly a tale that belongs to those places. Just as the Witcher belongs to Poland. You would have to be an idiot or a liar to think pushing black people into such stories isn't some sort of under-handed...

Didn't know it was satire. I had read that he wrote the book as a thought experiment of how right wing you could go without being obsessed with racial purity. As for believing human beings are rational, it does seem to be the trend of mid 20th century writers. One that I don't believe left us...

Been reading a lot less since I got back to the States, but here it is as of January... Azincourt, Sharpe's Battle, Enemy of God, Excalibur, Sharpe's Sword and Sharpe's Siege by Bernard Cornwell So I went on a bit of a Bernard Cornwell kick. I have always enjoyed his books, but kind of in a...

Not even going to watch it. I loved the books. Enjoyed the games. Hated Season 1. I'm so sick of the black-washing. Don't even own a TV nowadays.

Keene State Pumpkin Fest Riots from 2014.

God I hate college kids (including graduate students). I live in a college town now. Went out to dinner with a bunch of my girlfriend's friends. All females of the species. All middle class. All hwhite. All in school to be lawyers. They started talking politics and I went to the bar and...

I did them all my first go around because I had just graduated and was looking for a job. But I got a job now and a relationship. Don't have the time to plunder every ancestral grave site and pilfer every smuggler's cache.

I was doing side quests and treasure hunts but I just don't have the energy to stat-pad anymore. Also, I did a light armor/cat school build on my first go around and now I am trying to do heavy armor/bear school (or undvik armor because it is so overpowered on New Game Plus) but it seems the...

I just slogged through the first half on my New Game Plus. Finally got to Skellige and I am feeling kind of burnt out, but the whole time I was looking forward to getting to Skellige and being in that sort of Gaelic Viking enviroment. Disappoint.

I remember walking home with my friends and cops would pull up alongside us and shout shit at us. One time they bopped us at the lake and asked us if we were drinking. We said no and they said, "What are you? A bunch of fucking losers?"

I have chuckled at your antics more than most, but you insulted the 508 and I demand satisfaction.

Seems like the guy who lost part of his arm is going to sue the city and the police department. Good luck with that. Is there anything else they can slap Rittenhouse with? Or try to?

Eat a bag of dicks.

To make up for my drunk shit-posting I offer these gifts.

I'm just saying if that bakery was in my town... I would have no money and a lot of uneaten bread.

I would go to this bakery even if it gave me pink eye. Pic unrelated.
