This might sound mildly racist, but Germany functions really damn well with fascists in power in Victoria 2.

It's not that racist, Facists were pretty popular after world war I. Natrual effect of the rise of nationalism and poor understanding of humanity in general.

I had a weirdly very stressful day today, and came home to realize that my freezer had somehow gotten partially filled with layers of hardened ice. I spent an extremely cathartic half-hour smashing ice with a hammer, ending with a massive pile of cool-looking ice in the sink, and a very clean freezer.

So does anyone remember the time in history where Haiti had debts to the German empire. And they used this as an excuse to invade and then annex it as a staging point for a later considered American conquest?

Yeah me neither but that happened.

Annexed by France, Germany, and the US? Wow. Haiti is almost as good as Georgia at getting conquered.

Boxing today was fun, best part was just before everyone went home, a kid slightly younger than me, who'd been sparring for several rounds, was exhausted and pretty much playing around with his friends, asked if I could spar one round.  I said sure, absolutely, expecting a fairly light spar.

He immediately cracks me with a cross which up to this point of my very short career as a novice boxer was the hardest I'd been hit.  My first thought should have been "ow".  It was more like, "finally, somebody I can really cut loose against..."

My sparring partner was tired, not actually all that skilled ( in comparison to some of the more advanced and dedicated people at the gym ) but he was really trying to hit me, and I could actually feel intent behind his movements.  Other sparring partners would always hold back, which was good, otherwise I'd be on my ass constantly, brain haemorrhaging, but here, I was getting hit in the face by shots whose level of force I'd never felt before.

And the best part?  I could actually hit him back!  I finally had an opponent who was aggressive and whom I didn't have to chase or engage in comically long stand-offs with.  His defence was energetic, despite his visible exhaustion, and that just made it more fun when I did connect.  The utter joy I felt when my jab was able to stop him in his tracks was just sublime.

Sure it was just a short spar, but it was the most fun, gloriously painful moment I've had in boxing, so far.

"Rise of nationalism"? At that point nationalism had been a thing for 100-200 years and it played a pretty big part in the establishment of the democracies of the time, as well as the growth of the non-imperialist parts of the socialist and worker's movements.

Historically accurate! Like uh... Greater germany being formed. ... And Haiti being annexed. And the Netherlands becoming one of the top world powers.

... Okay maybe not.

Nice bundle of classics in this Humble Bundle (Star Wars). Anyone else nabbing these games, I look forward to some dogfighting in XvT or XWA.

The Netherlands were for long a merchant empire. With as much economic control as they had, it's hard to deny them having once been a top world power. The language of Afrikaans is based on Dutch for a reason.
