I was sarcastic. In Germany. He was very adept at arranging himself during the war and also afterwards.

I have reason to believe he was one of those who chose to ignore things, that's why I can't stand such people - just like the woman in the video.

"They are all Nazis over there" is something you try to put into my mouth.

I said it is the same situation in Russia where people do not speak up against what their country does. I also understand if they fear repercussions.

But this woman, who said she was in Brazil before, just whines around, "Russia is strong" and obviously is very OK with what happens or chooses to ignore it. She has been out of Russia for some time, she has seen other. media.

What I said - the same what happened in Germany is happening in Russia right now. People CHOOSING not to see and not to, speak about it.

I never said anything about "all" Russians.

Don't try to put words in my mouth.

What I expect - yes demand - from someone like this woman is acknowledging what happens.

All those Hitler comparisons hit very close, as I'm German, born long after the war. It was. my grandparent generation that allowed things to happen.

I have utmost respect for people who speak out against atrocities their country does, but in sucj a case - Hitler or Putin - being silent is agreeing.

The woman in this video just whines how everyone treats her badly. If she had said one time, she understands because of what her country does - and then say, how it makes her life bad, I could somehow sympathize. This way - I can not.

I have a Russian coworker who started business meetings with a minute of silence for the Ukrainian victims during the full invasion. That is something I can respect.

I never got any details, but I have reason to believe my own grandfather arranged himself with the Nazis, some say he was a party member. Others say, he and my grandma hid someone from them. Nevertheless he managed to own a soft drink factory (and quickly got a Coca Cola contract after the war)

I'm fucking fed up with people who arrange themselves with dictators and are just opportunists. As this woman obviously is.

Yes, riiiiiiight - as well as my grandparent generation had noooothing to do with the things that happened here in Germany during WW2.

I would get it if she'd acknowledge what her country does and state that she doesn't agree with Russia invading other countries. But this tearful "everyone treats us soooo bad", blaming everyone else.... fuck, no.

By the way, random selection is one of the few methods to guarantee a fair and representatative sample.

In case of a library I'd want at least part of the catalog represent media of the times is was created, because science also uses that.

One reason archaelogy in Pompei is valuable is that everyrhing - including pornograhic graffiti and slander was preserved, giving us a different perspective into those times than books by medieval historians.

Of course, I'd also want - in another part of the catalog - books/media by manually selected scientists, artists, historians.

As gas stations have enough room for more expensive "ultimate" versions of fuel, I don't think that's the reason. You can frequently get two kinds of Diesel and three kinds of Gas at the pump.

O. t. o. h..maybe the whole "premium fuel" hype resulted from stations having additional tanks after leaded fuel was phased out.

Tbh, I have no idea. The whole of Europe was late to this. The first catalytic conveter cars were sold in 1973 in the US and 1985 in Germany.

Switzerland made them obligatory in 1986, Germany made them obligatory only in 1993 - because that was an EU-wide regulation.

The only thing I can imagine is the big political influence car makers have in Germany, but that's just "what sounds reasonable to me", no proof.

Damit bringst Du mich gerade erst auf einen Gedanken. Warum war Andi so ärgerlich wegen 1 Pimmel? Identifiziert er sich als 0 Pimmel? Oder war er früher auf Lases und war u/DoppelDödelDigga?

Da bin ich schon durch, hatte vor 10 Jahren ne kutane Leishmaniose aka Orientbeule. Wird durch Sandmücken übertragen. Wo gibt's die? In Südeuropa und seit kurzem auch (noch vereinzelt) in Deutschland - weils durch den Klimawandel warm genug wird für die.

Ach ja, wurde erfolgreich behandelt, war im Gesicht und laut Wikipedia "heilt nach ca. 2Jahren spontan ab unter der Bildung entstellender Narben"

Wow. Sleep - it isn't as I try to get good sleep every day, but the moment I lie down my brain gets into overdrive.

Exercise - great. If I wasn't bored to death while doing exercise it might work.

Music - great. I get headphones and start vibing to the music, forgetting what I wanted to do in the first place, but I apply creativity and make AMAZAING playlists...

Really, who ever wrote all that down has no ideas what ADHD is. These are calming ideas for normies.

Watching funny movies - yep, I do that for four or six hours at a time, but it doesn't make me more productive.

Sun - hmm, all the vitamins I take haven't cured me, neither did crusing in my old convertible getting sunburn on my neck and arms

Pets - You really want a pet to stay at my place, where I have to regularly take care about them? Poor pet. I might forget feeding for a few days. O. t. o. h. I have a lot of plants, every single one quite drought resistant by natural selection.

Stay positive - yeah, as long as my impulsivivity isn't giving me intrusive ideas.

Ok, I have lived all my life with my own ADHD brain, and I really do have a number of strategies that help. But crap like this guide trivializes the struggle and it doesn't make me calm, it just makes me angry.

STOP TRIVIALIZING.
