[00:03]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I liked that part of The Strain where Eichorst is about to kill that Catholic Archdiocese who was corrupt and trying to bid up the price of that book.
[00:03]	IsambardPrince	The Archdiocese resorts to prayer in Latin when Eichorst reveals what he is.
[00:04]	IsambardPrince	So Eichorst stops for a moment and turns his head up to the sky and says "Do you hear that Lord? Your humble servant beseeches you to hear his prayers and help him! Cast down a lightning bolt to strike down his tormenter!" "Hmm, I guess he isn't listening."
[00:07]	IsambardPrince	It shows that Eichorst started out trying to sell radios door to door in pre-war Germany before the Nazis started their climb to power.
[00:08]	IsambardPrince	He fell in love with a Jewish woman without knowing who she was, then during a dinner, he was amazed by a Nazi speech at the bar, and then he tried to backpeddle and say Hitler wasn't talking about German Jews, just foreign ones.
[00:09]	IsambardPrince	Then when she runs off, he goes full Nazi and ends up being the commander of a death camp.
[00:09]	IsambardPrince	That's where he encounters The Master and begins planning to become the right-hand of this guy while the Third Reich is falling.
[00:10]	MinceR	:>
[00:10]	IsambardPrince	His rage and hatred that led him to become a devout Nazi happened because of severe failure in his personal life that untethered him.
[00:11]	IsambardPrince	He failed as a salesman.
[00:11]	IsambardPrince	He was rejected by a woman.
[00:11]	IsambardPrince	So he ran off and joined the SS.
[00:12]	IsambardPrince	I liked the story.
[00:13]	IsambardPrince	It's so simple to become an extremist.
[00:13]	IsambardPrince	It's grounded in severe personal failure.
[00:13]	IsambardPrince	Instead of taking accountability, people like to find scapegoats.
[00:13]	IsambardPrince	With MAGA, that scapegoat is.....non-white immigrants.
[00:14]	IsambardPrince	For some that failure is just wanting unearned superiority.
[00:14]	IsambardPrince	That's why my parents are in MAGA.
[00:14]	IsambardPrince	Personal failures that they won't take ownership of, and wanting unearned superiority.
[00:18]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Kiki is chewing carpet strands so I had to trim them and throw some stuff over it.
[00:18]	IsambardPrince	I call her my little carpet muncher.

[02:11]	IsambardPrince	They did a good job with Eichorst. He's almost the main reason to watch the show.
[02:11]	IsambardPrince	They let him get very close to finally selling a radio on an installment plan in the flashback.
[02:12]	IsambardPrince	Then the woman's husband comes in and tears up the contract and says they're laying people off at the factory and he doesn't even know if he'll be employed next week.
[02:12]	IsambardPrince	They don't need any finance agreements.
[02:12]	IsambardPrince	It would be great if people were still as practical as that woman's husband.

[21:40]	parsifal	schestowitz[TR2]: Have you used "Amfora", and if so, what is your opinion of it -> in brief? I use "Lagrange" and "Kristall", though personally, I prefer "Lagrange" because I like its user interface just a bit more.
[21:40]	parsifal	^I want to try something new for Gemini. I generally use quite a few TUIs for various purposes, but not yet for this specific use case.
