"Minutemen" may be a nuclear-era pun.

So obviously the aethetic of the Minutemen in FO4 is based on the Colonial Minutemen from the Revolutionary War, with their outfits, their laser muskets, and their motto, "Protect the Commonwealth at a minute's notice." But what I recently learned is that Minuteman was also the name of US land-based ICBMs carrying nuclear payloads during the Cold War, which may have been the inspiration to include them in Fallout.

If anyone's interested, there's a fascinating video by CGP Grey in which he explores the ruins of a Cold War missile test site. It has extremely fallout-y vibes. I learned about the Minutemen missiles through his later videos explaining the history of the facility. (It turns out this site wasn't testing Minutemen missiles, but it's interesting regardless).

ERRA Neon opinion shitpost

So I'm a late convert to the cult of ERRA and find my preference to be JT era (pun intended) vocals. I had Neon on repeat for a couple months and sang along with every song. I even listened to it on mushrooms and had a transcendent experience vibing to Hyperrality and Ghost of Nothing. Then I made the mistake of reading reddit reviews and now I can't unhear the TSH-TSH-TSH-TSH of the crash in my left ear on every freaking song. So I had to put it down for a while. Fast forward to today when I threw it on for some background music at work. The crappy mono speaker pans everything center and I gotta admit; Neon sounds a lot better in mono.

TLDR: Poor mixing ruined an otherwise stellar album and listening to it through a single speaker greatly improved the experience.

I have amazing news.

I found someone who remembers hearing the song. 2 or 3 daus ago I got the song stuck in my head. My grandparents were visiting and I decided to play the song and ask them if they know it. Guess what, my grandfather says hes heard it before. Played by a favorite band he cannot remember the name of. But he is absolutely certain he has heard that song before. He cannot remember the name either, (note hes a 76 year old vietnam vet so don't expect that anyway.) But I do belive him when he says hes heard it before, is it possible that this song could have played on an american station, and nobody has a recording of it? America was a prime target to make waves in the new wave era, pun intended. Maybe there was a similar show like music for young people here, but the band never really caught on. I think this opens up new possibilities.

$HAPPY Is primed to shoot past a $100M market cap. Donated another $50k this friday to the biggest organisation yet, happy is at the forefront of a new era of charity.

I already know what you’re thinking.

You’ve seen the HappyCoin posts here, and thought you missed your entry point after it shot up from an $11mil market cap to a $80mil one in 24 hours.

But what if I told you this is just the beginning to what will become one of the largest charity tokens in the BSC space? I bet you wanted to get in on Elongate or something similar before it pumped up to a 9 figure market cap, well now you have your chance with HappyCoin.

Over the next month, HappyCoin will be receiving a massive marketing push, much larger than anything done so far. With what the marketing team has done so far, HappyCoin touched a $100 Million market cap within 3 weeks, now imagine how it’ll be one month from now with what I’m about to tell you.

The founder is about to be in LA this Sunday, meeting up with some massive influencers like Jesse Wellens and Casey Neistat to promote HappyCoin, and if you already recognize those names, do I really need to stress how good they are at what they do. Because HappyCoin has such a positive use case, it has been a lot easier to bring on big names given the power of what this token can do for those in need.

Along with this, HappyCoin is being listed on a number of different exchanges as awareness about the coin continues to spread. HappyCoin has been listed on the LARGEST exchange in Europe, WhiteBIT, with marketing through all the channels WhiteBIT offers coming very soon. They’ve said that they are coming out on two more exchanges this month, rumoured to be Bilaxy AND BitMart, both with massive reach.

As for what HappyCoin has done so far, they have donated $90,000 in their first THREE WEEKS with another $50,000 being donated to the American Foundation of Sucide Prevention (massive organization) this Friday. They livestream every donation they make and do a short AMA with the organization after, you can watch them on Twitch!

HappyCoin isn’t aiming to be just any other charity token, they want it to be the prime example of what good crypto can do for the world, and with an AMA set for tomorrow and and a huge push set for next week, I invite you to check out what Happy, and come join the $HAPPY team before it takes off once more.

This Lakers-Knicks game was a defensive slugfest that is refreshing to watch in an era dominated by fast paced, non stop offense.

It wasn't a typical bad team vs bad team game where the offensive players are trash and the low score is due to bad offenses rather than good defenses; these were 2 elite teams led by the 2 best defenses in the league led by 2 old-schooled defensive coaches and that made it exciting. It wasn't bad offense vs bad offense, it was great defense.

The defensive gameplans to triple AD and close off driving & passing lanes on the weakside, as well as the Lakers scheme of letting AD go one-on-one with Randle worked out well for each teams. It made both offenses play out their comfort zones and made every basket count that much more.

What do yall think?

Was life better before the social media era? If Yes, why? If No, why?

Mainly for the pre-2000s kids. I feel like life was better before social media. As most people's world just revolved around a few local people who shared similar status and aspirations there was less global awareness and everyone had like their small world in which they lived but nowadays it's literally the entire world which has expanded the comparison scale from a few people to billions, cultural mixing is greater than ever, a person's social media existence has sort of become a key trait in a person's profile etc. What do you think?

** Please include a YES or a No in your answer. I want to know how it has affected you personally not what it has done for the world **

[The Undefeated] Surprisingly, “According to figures provided by the team, in the four seasons of the Big Three era from 2010 to 2014, the Heat sold 190,000 jerseys. In the four seasons of the Vice era from 2018 to 2021, Miami has sold 245,000 total jerseys.”

The Miami Heat are set to retire the “Vice” uniform Collection they’ve had the last four years. According to Heat Marketing Exec, Jennifer Alvarez, the Vice uniforms were a success:

> “The year that we released our first Vice uniform, we proved that the design on the front of a jersey can actually be just as powerful, if not more powerful, than the name on the back.”

Some other facts I found surprising about the collection:

  • Total revenue of the Vice era has doubled that of the Big Three era with more than $25 million in sales, according to the team.

  • In December 2020 alone, the Heat’s final ViceVersa installment accounted for one-third of the NBA’s total jersey sales revenue during the holiday season, generating $2.1 million, according to the team.

  • In May 2020, ESPN ranked the Vice collection (before the debut of the ViceVersa edition) at No. 8 on the list of the top 74 jerseys in the history of the NBA.

  • More than 650,000 Vice-themed items sold accounting for 67% of the franchise’s retail revenue, according to the Heat.

The team acknowledges that they’ve debated making the Vice theme permanent, but as of now, they’re retiring it for something new, which the team says that current players are looking forward to wearing.

Will miss the Vice jerseys. Of all the City uniforms, the Heat (& Jazz) did it the best!

Um conselho pros "nice guys" - de alguém que era um "nice guy"

Eu já vi alguns desabafos aqui sobre a clássica história: menino bom, tímido e estudioso gosta da menina. Menina não gosta dele, mas sim do "bad boy". Menino acha que mulheres "só gostam de cafajestes".

Todo mundo já viu essa história; ou você é um nice guy, ou você conheceu um, ou você foi desejada por um. Não importa classe social, não importa nacionalidade e não importa nem genero - afinal, temos as nice girls também.

Eu era um incel / nice guy. E gostaria de trazer um pouco de luz pra ajudar quem está nessa e também pra humanizar um pouco essas pessoas.

Antes de mais nada, se você é um misógino (acha que toda mulher não presta, ou é puta, ou seja lá o que for), seu problema não é ser um nice guy. Você é um filho da puta e devia rever como você enxerga as pessoas; esse desabafo / conselho não é pra gente que maltrata os outros e ainda acha que é vítima. Paz.

Agora vamos lá: o que cria um nice guy? No meu caso, pressão da masculinidade tóxica.

Eu tenho uma família onde os homens são metidos a "HETERO FODA COMEDOR DE XERECA". Ouço desde os 10 anos do meu pai e tios que deveria ir atrás de mulher, que já era pra eu ter uma namorada. Meu pai perguntou se eu ainda era virgem com 14, e ficou claramente decepcionado com a resposta.

A verdade é que eu não poderia estar cagando mais pra isso. Eu só queria jogar Grand Chase caralho; mas isso não era suficiente pros homens da minha família. Um primo meu, que começou a namorar cedo, virou uma espécie de ídolo de comparação.

Não importa o que eu fizesse de bom, os elogios só eram rasgados pra esse meu primo. E isso pesa. Eu queria aprovação do meu pai.

Bem, sendo o bom menino educado e estudioso, não deve ser difícil arrumar uma namorada né???? Se meu primo que não fazia nada de bom além de namorar conseguiu, né???

... Já viu onde isso vai parar né?

Eu passei minha adolescência sendo o nice guy. O menino bom, educado e bem intencionado, que sempre era passado pra traz pelos outros meninos.

Mas sabe por quê? Sabe por que o menino que tirava 0 e "tratava as pessoas mal" pegava mais meninas que eu? Porque ele não estava o tempo todo tentando entrar na calça de alguém.

E como você deve imaginar, não, ele não tratava ninguém mal como eu imaginava. Ele só não era um meloso duplamente intencionado o tempo todo como eu era.

Dado meu desespero em conseguir uma namorada, toda interação minha com meninas da minha idade era arquitetada com a ideia de tentar conseguir algo - afinal, que valor teria uma mulher

With the pre-patch quickly approaching, I need to find a new guild (and probably server) to continue on Classic Era realms. Since this subreddit and most discord servers are overrun with TBC discussion, does anyone know of a place where Classic Era players are gathering?

I'm not interested in trolling (LUL why are you staying in Classic there's nothing to do), just an answer of where to find the others like me that will be playing on level 60 servers for a long time.
