Redacted is a private tracker, I’ve seen a bunch of SACD stuff there. You can interview to get in, they have a website to prep for the interview.

You actually believe that? The people who claim that people like Werner von Braun didn’t commit any crimes are the CIA and Braun himself. All of the records from Germany were destroyed. It’s essentially just taking his word on it to believe he was only involved because “he had to be.”

He was literally a member of the SS, the wing of the nazi government that was directly responsible for the Holocaust. He was photographed repeatedly with himmler himself, in uniform. He claimed that those were just ceremonial photos that he had to participate in the keep his career. He also claimed not to agree with the Nazis politically.

Why would you believe anything that a member of the SS said? Especially one as important to the Nazis as von Braun was.

Of fucking course he was never found guilty of any war crimes, the US was actively trying to recruit him. They didn’t want to prosecute their newest asset, a man who directly led to the US becoming the globally dominant force it became during the space race. He was useful so the US government deliberately didn’t investigate him seriously, took him at his word that he totally wasn’t a real nazi, and then used him to invent more rockets for them.

Because Google has gotten the law steuctured such that THEY aren’t liable for false advertisements they host and serve.

If I posted an ad that was blatantly false on Google, legally I’m the one liable, not Google.

It’s ass backwards, Google should be on the hook for this and should have to curate advertisements. Especially when so any of them are not just fake but are openly malicious

My fiancee and I both got artificial sapphires in our engagement rings.

Real ones were nearly double the price.

You wouldn’t know they’re lab grown. They look great.

It’s so funny to me that so many people in this thread are like “well technically it also applies to christians wearing crosses! So it isn’t discriminatory.” I guarantee you that a kid wearing a cross won’t get in any trouble for it, they certainly won’t be sent home. They’d probably be asked to hide it better and let off by the teacher, if anything at all was said.

These kinds of laws are classic examples of laws that are deliberately targeted at specific groups, but worded in a way which technically makes them apply to everyone, with the intent that enforcement will not target the group it wasn’t supposed to.

Also I’m willing to bet really good money that if a nun wore a habit to a beach, she wouldn’t get fined. A muslim woman wearing a burkini would though.

Neolibs use “whataboutism” to avoid responding to comments that actually make them consider whether their beliefs are silly or not. Instead of actually considering the argument they slit out a buzzword and promptly ignore whatever was said.
