Famed totalitarian regimes like checks notes their own country? They’ve killed a fair number of their own journalists.

If you can remember THACO, tabletop games have survived needing to change a few systems in the past

Data labeling is a real and useful task that adds value.

It makes sense for a public figure trying to reach people. It won’t work because of the algorithm ™, but I can understand still wanting to try.

That sounds like the landlord’s now just never going to get anything fixed

.ml is the commies, .world is predominantly liberal with a strong left bend(at least compared to US politics). You also have anarchist spaces and the odd conservative hideyhole.

It took me longer than it should have to notice all the shitty people I used to be friends with had a love of the worst parts of martial arts as a shared hobby.

The article has the same energy as that one article about man never flying published in the 1900s.

Forever is a very long time. It’s unlikely to happen in our lifetimes though.

It’s a lot easier to teach yourself coding with a degree in a different field versus teaching yourself an entire different field with a degree in coding though.

Mine are brothers and even then, they always try to groom each other and it immediately and infallibly turns into chasing each other around the house. Otherwise they’re chums, but as soon as the tongue is out it’s rumble time.

Yep, old folks definitely never made any mistakes or ignored any problems, that’s why the world was perfect before 2001 right?

I don’t really see how “men are lonely” and “men are joining fascists at alarming rates” could possibly be independent of each other? Fascism offers them a sense of unity, however fake.

Nuremberg Trials (en.wikipedia.org)
submitted 4 months ago by Shiggles to c/[email protected]
 

One of the most interesting details about the Nuremberg trials, which I only learned from the ever excellent Robert Evans on a podcast, is the controversy over how many of the crimes Nazis were executed weren’t really “crimes” - international law wasn’t really a thing, and they weren’t really illegal under German law.

Yet we hung the Nazis anyways, because they were the fuckin’ Nazis. I find this a comforting thought in these times.

If you’re in need of additional fortification, the article on John Clarence Woods might help, the hangman who very incompetently and thus painfully executed nazi leadership - there is also a Behind the Bastards on him, possibly the one that discusses the trials iirc.
