As a 10+ year reddit user who has switched 98% to Lemmy, only checking reddit on my computer every couple days: Lemmy is completely fine, and I have seamlessly transitioned from Reddit.
Its userbase is more technical than Reddit’s, and there’s not as much content. But it is a perfectly good Reddit alternative. I find it isn’t as addictive as reddit, which is awesome. I just wish there were more educational communities akin to AskHistorians, AskScience, etc.
“… her camembert cravings…”
“…the feta fiend…”
“… I would literally just eat a whole block of cheese with my hands… often while sitting on the floor… in the dark…”
Fucking lol
I doubted that was in the bible, but that guy knows his stuff:
“… when the Galoshan asked Jesus about the Greeks’ fornication, Jesus said unto him: ‘The LORD has built a divine calculus to judge the acts of men. If it is true that the Greeks lay thus with each other and that their bowels protrude from out of their rectum, then it is because the LORD has willed that anal sex = prolapsed rectum’. Upon hearing this, the Galoshan was gladdened, for his own prolapsed rectum had been a gift from the LORD.” - Romans 1:27
Now make mammograms not $500 and not have a 6 month waiting time and make them available for women under 40. Then this’ll be a useful breakthrough
I have a couple of relatives who lived in the USSR and they were also very happy with their lives there. They liked that they had all their needs met by virtue of being a citizen, they had a good standard of living no matter what kind of job they did, they got tons of vacation time and the government would pay for them to go on vacation.
I think they believed in the socialist project more broadly, but they weren’t as ideological as this woman seems to be. I think they were socialists because of what socialism could do for them rather than champions of the revolutionary cause or whatever. That’s part of the beauty of a post revolutionary, functional state: people have the luxury of not caring about politics so much if they don’t want to.
Also, idk if it’s just the editing, but grandaughter is disrespectful as hell and needs to be hit with a sandal
How bad this was depends on how “great” was framed. Hitler was a failed art student and low ranking infantryman who was let into the military (possibly by mistake) after failing his physical examination.
By 1939 (age 50), he had taken control of the German state and was soon after made a dictator by the Enabling Act, killed many of his political rivals openly in the Night of Long Knives, re-armed the German military after the treaty of Versailles totally gutted it, been given Austria, invaded the Sudetenland, kicked off the holocaust with Kristalnacht, signed the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact and occupied Poland - taking it in 3 weeks, and was at war with Britain/Australia/New Zealand (soon to be at war with everyone else).
“Great” doesn’t necessarily mean “good” or “morally correct.” Great can mean “person who has changed a lot of things” without making any moral judgment about that - think “great man of history” (not very materialist, I know). By that metric, obviously Hitler was “great” - even pre-WW2 and pre-Holocaust he had already radically changed global politics, had terrified much of Europe, radicalized a huge portion of the German people, and was set to potentially make a huge comeback from Germany’s defeat in WW1.
Or they could just be a bunch of nazis over there at Princeton. That is also very possible.
If the Dems were smart, they’d make a big show of doing this. RFK is way more popular with conservative independents than liberal ones.
Raise RFKs visibility and signal that he’s “important” enough to warrant this level of protection and maybe he gets more coverage and splits the vote. Only like 4% or something support RFK, but that’s still a significant voting block in a close election
