@graf Ebay lies with pictures. One of the LCD screens on my cameras went out, and I bought a new one to replace it. The one in the picture was oem, but the one I got was not, and while I wouldn't care otherwise, the shape of the ribbon cables on this one literally makes it impossible to reassemble. -

@luithe @ColdOnesLite @Morghur Yes. There is another one like it in San Antonio Texas too, but it suffered a name change after WWII started. The one in Palm Beach is also prettier, imo. -

@Morghur @ColdOnesLite Yeah, something I learned about a few years ago which I found very interesting was that Southern Houston Texas was very Japanese. Houston is on the coast, so there is a lot of swampy land around there that can't be used for much. The city government realized it could be used for rice farming, but didn't have rice farmers to draw from, and so asked if the Japanese government would be willing to send people to do it.
In contrast to the Chinese immigration to California around the same time which prompted the exclusion act, the Japanese and Texans got along swimmingly (this is interesting to be primarily because people's assumptions is that this is backwards). In fact, there are parts of southern Houston that are still named after the Japanese who lived there, it's sort of a forgotten part of their history.
Anyway I think it was relatively peaceful because they were not stepping on each others toes. The Japanese were on otherwise useless land, and doing a job that no one locally could really do. If they left, almost nothing would change, and it didn't impact the people living there.
So I've taken this as a lesson about how to write two different groups living peacefully near each other - they can't compete much. -

@Morghur @ColdOnesLite Probably, racism isn't the right word here. Or maybe it is, but... idk. The way I see things, racism only comes about when different cultures living in close proximity compete over the same resources.
So that's something that should be applied in fantasy settings, scarcity of resources. Why would a human want to rent limited space of his hotel to a goblin??? Never mind their reputation of being evil, or unintelligent, or murdering everything without warning. A human settlement would prioritize humans over outsider races. -

@ColdOnesLite I think it's a woman thing. Women tend to over-empathize, which means they project themselves onto almost everything. As such they usually end up roleplaying themselves. -

@suquili @Rasterman Yeah, something I've noticed is how certain cultures will have memes they apparently subconsciously inject into almost every story. So Americans will usually write a story about a bunch of underdogs from different backgrounds working together to destroy a seemingly unstoppable evil empire. The Japanese try to rationalize why they lost WWII (usually with something like "there are no bad guys, just different sides") and have an atomic bomb metaphor somewhere. The British write stories about something fantastic mixed with mundane bureaucracy.
Jews always make the main character this really ugly guy who is oppressed by a bunch of unfair rules, the whole world is unfairly against him even though he never did anything wrong to anyone, and everything that does go right for him was because of "luck". In the end he wins because of some technicality. The plot usually pits him against some element of traditionalist culture, and there is almost always a not-so-subtle holocaust and/or anti-racism message.
For example: -

@suquili @RedpillBot It's literally just "do you guys have any proof that doesn't come from the USSR?" No documents, no impartial eyewitnesses, no physical evidence. Just "coded language", confessions from torture, and "this Jewish guy who claims to have killed 7 thousand Jew in a 40 seconds using imported South American honey ants". -

@WashedOutGundamPilot You see this in a lot of technical hobbies, which inevitably are composed mostly of older men. Things like 3d printers and the Chinese have totally obliterated a section of the economy they carved out. -

@HWABAG @WashedOutGundamPilot Yeah. I do astrophotography for a hobby, which I comment on here from time to time. Last month the last major telescope maker in the US folded. If you buy a telescope made in the US now it's a total boutique thing that you are probably either overpaying for (but you went on a wait list for several years to get it so it's fine). Everything else is either made in China, made in China, or made in China, or maybe even made in China.
Maybe it's not completely their fault, but they didn't even try to compete, and they were overcharging. Like, imaging charging 50+ dollars for a threaded part. Ridiculous.) -

@WashedOutGundamPilot I could do that, but it's unnecessary. There are plenty of field mice, snakes, chipmunks, squirrels, and lizards of unusual size in the area. I've seen plenty of foxes before, so the area is pretty healthy with prey items.
I've also seen plenty of owls there, but they were always Great horned or Burrowing owls. I had not heard a barn owl before, so I was unprepared for it's nightmarish call.
In fact, I don't think I'll go to the spot tonight because I'm worried that I might have disturbed the area too much over the past week. Hopefully the owls returns and will surprise me (or I them) some other night. -

No owl last night.
Instead, there was someone already in my spot. He was (is? why does it feel strange to say 'is' instead of 'was'... whatever) a photographer who dropped his keys or something. Of course, we're about 50 miles from the nearest major or even minor city, no moon, and it's 11pm, so it's pitch black out there, so he had flashlight. Might have scared away the owl. Kind of a shame, I bought a real tape recorder to get a high def recording. Maybe the owl will be back tonight.

@ArdainianRight @PraxisOfEvil A while back I read "Julian's Gods" which was about the pagan revival at the tail end of the Roman Empire. I walked away thinking that Julian the Apostate was very much a Trump-like, or maybe especially a Hitler-like figure. Men are nostalgic for a world that might never have existed, who sense a decline in their old values, and want to revive it, but ultimately fail.
This might be why conservatives almost always fail. When things that can't easily be unfucked get fucked, what exactly can you do? You have to rebuild it from scratch something that already died. It's necromancy. -

Inspirational really. Always do your best, if someone can get this far while being this dumb, then imagine where you will go.
