And to think that you guys pay to be there. Imagine loading yourself with massive student debt for a place that stocks up on weapons as if its at war with you.

They are right. I can’t wrap my head around it.

People, thats why I always say, don’t just stop taking your medication. You might feel fine now, but then you end up with a shitton of garlic.

Please! See your psychiatrist before doing anything rash.

Kindergarteners are more mature.

Great list. Very balanced in origin, time and genre.

Gonna go hunting down some movies…

My grandfather was one of these Russian POW. He was 15 years old. Conscripted and sent to the front without a choice.

He said, he only survived the camp because he met his uncle there. That’s about all he was willing to talk about it.

In the first war years my greatgrandfather (his father) spent 3 years in prison because he spoke not favorably about the Nazi regime. No trial, no visits, no information. Everything he owned, including his business was expropriated by the Nazis.
He was supposed to be moved to a camp but then was suddenly released without any information and conscripted into the army.

Neither of them had any choice. Mere soldiers, the ones in the trenches, generally didn’t.
People were executed for refusing military service and after that they sent your whole family into a camp for “Sittenhaft” (kin collective punishment).

The SS and SA who were responsible for unbelievable atrocities were only a part of the German military. They were the “elite” units.

I’m listening to the audiobook of In the Time of the Butterflies by Julia Alvarez.Its based on real people in the time of the Trujillo Dictatorship in the Dominican Republic. Its a fictionalised account on the life of the Mirabal sisters who were executed by the regime in 1960.

And I just finished I Saw Her That Night by Slovenian author Drago Jančar. Its coincidentally also based on true events, in WW2 Slovenia. Honestly I read it, because I haven’t found any other books for the Slovenia category of my “Read around the world” challenge. I’m glad it wasn’t very long.

I hate this timeline.

"Dude, I noticed you really can not hunt. See, here. It’s only a little bit alive. It only runs a little bit, so you can practice. "

She was successful through all her career without weightloss. Now she’s somewhat unrecognisable, which I see a much bigger obstical for her career.

But she is 76 by now, chances are she had some kind of health issues that made her lose weight.

I love Kathy Bates. She could totally pull that off.

On the other hand, I don’t want to associate her forever with Elon Musk. I’d rather have someone I don’t like anyways play him. Your all american scumbag. Maybe Tom Cruise or Kevin Spacey were a suitable choice.

I’m all for vegan and vegetarian alternatives, but … I don’t even know what to say. How bad must your meat cravings be to eat UNmeat ugh.

Cool. I didn’t know we had a national flower.

But there are a lot of flowers in Europe, why are so many repeating? Is it really your national flower if 5 other countries have the same?

They might have meant the “Genocide (definitely not guilty)” part?

Too many bots on both sides.

Are there still people who expect a genuine conversation between humans on reddit?

Right. Sometimes you just have to develop an interest into things you normally don’t care about to have something in common with the people you love.

And sometimes you just should care that your easily influenced teenaged kids are totally invested into content that glorifies and populises severe eating disorders.

Even if you don’t give a fuck about some avocado guy, these are the topics you should listen and talk about with your kids, to help them develop a healthy opinion and viewpoint of things like that. That’s actually a parents job.

Dark.

This is the UK and not the US.

Cats in europe are far, far less at risk or a risk to the environment then in the US and outdoor cats are not at all a problem.

A cat being run over is rare. Being shot, poisoned or killed by a coyote or other wildlife quite unheard of. And they don’t pose any significant thread to local wildlife.

Americans created that dangerous and deadly invironment for animals themselves. That doesn’t mean that the whole world has to lock up or leash their cats.

I didn’t even realise. Thank you for pointing it out, I fixed it.

Do you have any legal responsibilities towards your in-laws in either direction in Japan?
And can your in-laws also divorce you, when your partner- their child dies?
