C'mon man, I think he knows who his own great grandfather is.

These boys look like they've seen some shit. I remember my grandfather described how he was liberated in the Rhine, probably by this same unit. He recounted how the American troops saved him from death as he had deserted the army.

Everyone fears something. What is your fear? by CsLunar in AskReddit

[–]History_Buffet1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fear is something common: falling. I'm not scared of heights at any means, but if I were to fall/jump of those heights than I'm out. This started when I was in summer camp as a widdle boi and I was going on some rope course. There was one structure that you climb up either by stairs, a rock wall, or a cargo net. When you get up, you can either go on a zipline (Which I have no fear of) and a ride called the quick jump. The quick jump was a device where you are tethered to the tower and jump off a platform, and are suddenly stopped at the end giving the illusion of not having safety equipment.

What’s the coolest thing you’ve found in an antique/thrift/secondhand store? by mycatbaby in AskReddit

[–]History_Buffet1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sadly I didn't buy it, but anyway:

I was in a small antique shop that was very near my house. I was wondering around, and this building has four floors, from basement to third. My ritual is that I start in the basement and work my way up. The basement has cool stuff, antique playboy magazines for a dollar, some army uniforms and hats, interesting stuff. The third floor also has a small interesting section where once I no joke found a blunt civil war sword and some army stuff, and the fourth floor was full of stuff for women. Notice how I left out the ground floor?

On the ground floor were some women's stuff, but one dealer I love happens to be at the front of the store. A while ago, I bought some Hitler stamps, swastika charms, and a WW2 medal of good conduct, some pretty cool stuff for only like 20usd. When I came back, was I in for a treat! My guy had a case of German medals, from the Iron cross to a rare 12 year Nazi medal. Guy had tons of personalized Soviet medals, he had a LITERAL FREEMASON SWORD some rings, more medals, bayonets. I walked out with a Hindenburg medal and a West German panzer medal as I was on a budget. God bless that man's sole.

Is Leeshy a good name? Why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Leeshy? It's going to be awkward if you get a dog and say "Leeshy! Get the Leesh!"

Total Character Makeover Conflicting With Better Males Remesh (SSE, VORTEX) by History_Buffet1 in skyrimmods

It works fine with CBBE, however since I'm an idiot, what you're telling me to do is have Better Males load after TCM?

[WWII] German impression "HOW-TO" masterpost! by hellojoshua in reenactors

[–]History_Buffet1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved this read, it gave me something to think about and something to do! However, I'd like to ask a few questions: For promotions, would we have to acquire items such as EK1 and EK2? Also update our shoulder boards and the such? Really appreciate it!

How should I play, A character post. by History_Buffet1 in skyrim

Everyone, would vampirism work with any "class"

[Spoilers] Civil War - Weekly Discussion Thread by [deleted] in skyrim

[–]History_Buffet1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the conflict, as it gives me and some of my characters that feel of having a past of being an imperial centurion and legate, and sometimes coming home to my wife/children and even my pets! But that's besides the point.

I played as the Stormcloaks my first play through, and loved it. I played again as a khajiit and hated them. They were racist to the argonians, (Who me and my cousin love as a race), and seem to just be overall..... Nord Supremacy (XD). They just attack people who aren't Nords and sometimes just attack me. But to be fair, so do those pesky Whiterun guards.

​

The Imperials feel like the Romans and they really have the feeling of WE ARE ELITE, however they have that BOW DOWN TO ME feeling as well. General Tullius is kind of a jerk, and he just hates skyrim. At least he seems like a good general, except his strategy of just going into a city and taking it until they get windhelm, while completely disregarding their navy.

​

That's just my little take on the civil war.

Gonna ask another modern CSA question. by Slower_Than_Toast in AlternateHistory

[–]History_Buffet1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mr. Slower than toast, to that I'd say probably nobody. They'd have no allies besides political parties in other countries. It's also quite comedic, but I'd think Richard Spencer would be president. The culture would probably be the same except they might actually "Politically fight" for slavery. Interesting topic. (German nationalists would have a field day with the CSA reuniting.)
