Der Urinmann, habe ich recht?

Nein, Yoink ist der Banjomann.

Du bist die Eimann. Ich bin der Walross.
Das ist ein Job für Durchfallmann.

I’ve been exercising for what feels like ages now
Five minutes? That's how long that would be in my case...

"incognito-capitalist" is like saying "crypto-fascist".
Hey, I say crypto-fascist. Mostly while drunk, I gotta admit, but still.

What made me happy recently: So recently I was told someone has a thing for me*, someone else told me they like me, and a third person told me he thought I had 'style'. In the context that he figured I'd eat the Salt & Vinegar chips nobody else liked because they were sophisticated**, but still.

*Not that I reciprocate that, but it's nice to know.
**Yeah, I don't know either.

Probably the latter, no? I always thought that it came from soldiers or sailors.

And regarding Jews, homosexuals, Roma and Sinti, and other groups, it certainly was extermination from the beginning, regardless of economic incentives. In fact late in the war the concentration camps were still gobbling up fuel that was desperately needed by the retreating army.

That bolded part is wonderfully ironic.
It's not ironic at all. If the Jews are the real enemy of the German people, it makes perfect sense to pour resources into combating them instead of forestalling the end of the war by another couple months. Keeping the Holocaust going was, from the Nazi perspective, a heroic self-sacrifice by the régime. It was a matter of great importance to them that no undesirables would survive.

Broke up with my girlfriend today. It was a 3 year, 4 months relationship.
Pretty fucking sad right now. I dont even know really why, she started behaving strangely some weeks ago when she lost all tolerance and asked for a break. It's been all downhill from there.
Also no alcohol in sight, seems like I will keep being sad for a while.
Ah, don't go down that road. Alcohol just amplifies emotions, it doesn't necessarily lift your spirits. (Pun not intended.)

PM box's open and all that. Keep your chin up as best as you can - IME that's pretty much all one can do.

Still, why do folks have to jump from US-style fucked-up-ness straight to Communism? Just look at the way things work in Europe - it's decidedly capitalist, but works pretty well. Certainly better than any previous implementation of the whole dictatorship of the proletariat thing.

Naah, I usually just advocate killing the bourgeoisie. Or the poor. Occasioally it's invading some country, or expulsing some German state from the federation. It varies, really.
