where does "funny fake quote" go if not in /c/memes?

It's not long enough to be a /c/copypasta, it's not /c/fakenews, it's not either of the tanks, I guess it could go in /c/chapotraphouse?

extremely overpriced mid

well, it's an accurate reflection of American manufacturing doggirl-smug

to be fair, this one is apparently a fake quote

but it's convincing because it's trump-anguish

the historical reference in question:

I love how westerners need to keep rediscovering the "simpler equipment that you can actually make a bunch of beats the amazing wunderwaffe" idea over and over again, you'd think WW2, you know, literally the largest war ever fought, would teach some lessons, but I guess not

Henry Morgenthau was a US politician who proposed a plan to essentially neutralize Germany after WW2 - split it up in several smaller states, and deindustrialize it to prevent any future rearmament. This plan was rejected though, along with Soviet attempts to turn Germany into a neutral (and demilitarized) buffer state between them and the Western Allies, so we eventually got the Federal Republic of Germany, complete with the Wehrmacht being essentially reactivated and significant propaganda effort being put into convincing people that they really weren't that bad and it was only the SS who did all the war crimes. All in the name of anti-communism.

CK2 did have the Shattered World setting, which can setup a game where each county starts out as an independent ruler. I assume actually trying to play it as a multiplayer game with a decent quantity of players would run into netcode issues though, Paradox games seem to struggle pretty bad with crashes and desyncs when the player count goes up (and besides, even if they didn't, you're probably going to struggle to find several dozen other map sickos to play with you for hours each day sicko-wistful)

once again, trump-who-must-go is the harm-reduction candidate, somehow

We're a site of barely a thousand users, and I remember it used to be a lot less, more like 500-600 daily, I assume after federation there was some growth. And of course only a small portion of those users post regularly, which is pretty normal for social-media-esque websites.

So there's just too many over-specialized comms, that the userbase isn't really large enough to support. Like, we probably don't need to have /c/games, /c/ttrpg, /c/tabletop & /c/gamedev as all separate things.

Apparently that's just the name of the company, which rather than having anything to do with biological research, is actually "the swimming pool and spa water care division of Lawrenceville, Georgia-based KIK Consumer Products" (which I guess explains the chlorine).

Now, why the hell would you name your swimming pool sanitation company "BioLab" is beyond me, like genuinely who thought that one up.
