    The world feels like it's boiling.

    In other news, I might start uploading to my YT channel again. It's been... like three months? Maybe four?

      the world does feel like that

       that’sa really good analogy actually

    Yes to both. TPBM thinks monarchy is cool.

    Last minute essay here we go. Got the Battle Hymn of the Republic to hype me up. Genuinely this song should have been the national anthem. The Star-Spangled Banner is good and all, but the Battle Hymn is just such an absolute banger. Go listen to it right now if you haven't heard it.

      Agreed.

      There’s an unpublished final verse I found on Wikipedia that goes hard (not that the rest of it doesn’t):

      ”He is coming like the glory of the morning on the wave,
      He is Wisdom to the mighty, He is Succour to the brave,
      So the world shall be His footstool, and the soul of Time His slave,
      Our God is marching on.”

      My favorite verse is:

      "In the beauty of the lilies, Christ was born across the sea,
      With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me.
      As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,
      While God is marching on."

      This is one of the few songs that I actually full-on belt out in my car.

      That's a lovely verse, too! I think I have to agree it's the best one. I like how it's been adapted in peacetime to read "As He died to make men holy, let us live to make men free."

    Very cool. TPBM knows that Gothic plate armor is unbeatable drip.

    All this facial hair is itchy. But my girlfriend likes it, so it's staying.

      i’ve heard that once it grows some more it won’t be as itchy

    Why am I taking these classes? Why didn't I take my college's CNA course like I was planning to? I'm not learning anything in either class.

      Don’t bother with a CNA course. I can sum it all up for you: “report to the nurse and don’t actually do anything”

    Reread the Constitution for the first time in a while today. Stuff has me feeling patriotic. On to the Declaration of Independence, then the Articles of Confederation.

      I can't remember where, but I was at one point advised to read both the Federalist Papers and the Anti-Federalist Papers, in order to get the full context and a more nuanced understanding of the founding. I have yet to do this, but they've both been at the top of my non-fiction reading list for some time. (The problem is I'm rotten at reading non-fiction.)

      The Federalist Papers are really good and, imo, just as important to US civics as the Constitution. I haven't gotten to the Anti-Federalist Papers yet, but I am interested to see what they argue for and against.

    There are two songs that describe how I've been feeling recently.

    Uropia O Morte, and One Fire. They're both by an artist called ROME.

  10. The cheeseman
    225×520' I do! Rothfuss' prose is fantastic. TPBM works full-time.
  11. The cheeseman
    Not today, fortunately. TPBM knows the size of the largest American flag ever made.

    The metal artist I discovered recently turned out to be AI generated sound. What tipped me off was the period between albums. It was only a few months between releases with 10+ songs that were fairly long.

    People are so obsessed with an end product that they can't enjoy the process of creating art. And plugging prompts into Stolen Works Regurgitator 9000 isn't a process.

      STOLEN WORKS REGURGITATOR 9000 IS ICONIC I’M STEALING THAT

       but yes i agree

      Ok no it drives me CRAZY

      i really, really hate AI.

    I love debating with people who resort to name-calling and ad hominems when they run out of insane opinions. It is so much fun. Why do I do this to myself?

  15. The cheeseman

    Gee I love not being able to get to sleep until 5am and then not waking up until 1:30. Wow amazing so great 😀

      Stay awake until your body shuts down ig. I wouldn't recommend it though. Was exhausted pretty much all day

  16. The cheeseman
    Idk what that is. TPBM headbangs to Sabaton.

    I'm gonna marry this girl

    That's all :)

    I'm winning. I am... the best at winning, no one has ever been a better winner than me. What a great winner, that's right. Always winning.

    Warship fact of the day #1:

    In May of 1940, the British destroyer HMS Glowworm and the convoy she was escorting came under attack by German light cruisers. Glowworm and her crew fought off the light cruisers, who called for backup. Their call was answered by the KM Admiral Hipper, one of the largest German warships afloat at the time. Glowworm was heavily damaged in the ensuing battle. Her captain, knowing that his ship would soon sink, decided to ram Admiral Hipper. The German warship took on 500 tons of seawater and a heavy list before the leakage could be stopped. Glowworm, having been split in half by the ramming, sank with 31 survivors. Lieutenant Commander Gerard Broadmead Roope, her captain, was not among them. After WWII ended, he was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross—Britain's highest military honor.

    I have not. TPBM had played a historically-accurate wargame.

    I'm dropping this class. It's useless for what I want to do and I'm not learning anything. I'm just regurgitating what the textbook says. Also it's online so it's almost impossible to focus. (Wow thank you ADHD so great and awesome)

  22. The cheeseman
    I'm playing Skyrim again. I've got a modlist of about 80 mods, most of which are weapons, armor, and NPCs. So far I've finished the Companions questline and Dawnguard. I haven't really started the Civil War or any of the other faction quests, and I've only retrieved the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller in the main quest so far. Having lots of fun sidequesting though.
  23. The cheeseman

    Y'all I have officially entered my warship era

  24. The cheeseman

    It always breaks my heart a little to see a good warship be broken up for scrap. HMS Rodney (bottom) at the least didn't deserve that fate—she sank Bismarck.
