my brother is working in a dining hall type thing and he said he's trying to get them to set up box fan filters in the dining area (I guess the hip new phrase is "Corsi Box") but Boss Guy is just like "we're complying with the university's expectations and idk if I wanna mess with the aesthetics of the room"

the university expectations are "do nothing" and the end result is "a 9/11 every week"

    Is "the german war machine was incompetent, actually" anti-fascist in message, or subtle anti-communist propaganda? (hexbear.net)

    I just feel like it might be the latter, because the idea that Germany only achieved limited success due to surprise, amphetamines, and Allied incompetence kind of takes away from the fact that the Soviets spent so much effort and so many lives in beating them back halfway to Berlin before the Allies even invaded on the Western front. With the idea that the German army was somehow more competent, professional, whatever, over the French/British/Etc, that adds to the achievement of the Soviets in blunting and then turning back their advance. But the criticisms of the Nazi army, idk, it seems to take away from all of that? Like "lol whatever they were all hopped up on adderall and would have been stopped anyway." idk y'all it just seems weird. I don't know how to take it.

    edit: like say it's boxing and you got The Best Boxer and they're beaten by someone else, well, that'd make the latter the Boxer who beat The Best Boxer, but then people come out saying actually they weren't that great etc etc, it detracts from both of them, not just one, idk

    he got a business degree from one of Canada's top schools with really good grades, and now he dedicates his life to helping people solve their problems

    edit: the man with :the-plan:

    edit 2: one of my favorite bits was the James Bailey mall Santa episode here

    Sucks that they didn't want to let him Mall Santa because "criminal record," after googling it, can you guess what that record was?

    He grew REALLY GOOD WEED and gave away a bunch of it and was charged with growing 100+ plants.

    My favorite part is the security guard getting up in their cameraman, James goes "want me to stop him?" and the guard is like, "what?" and James goes "I asked him if he wants me to stop you"

    guard goes "you can try" and James just fucking laughs as he towers over him
