It's not just the SS, the Wehrmacht also "suffered" from having to shoot all these people. Read up on Babij Jar, Ukraine. Even Himmler is on record expressing sympathy for his killers. That's why the bullet based plan turns into a gas based one. Because it's "easier" to flip a switch on a room full of people than to shoot naked people to fall on other corpses already in the ditch.

I think what's standing between us today and the bottom of the genocidal slippery slope is the (relatively) free media. There are too many ways to check up on them today. Commercial satellites, FOIA requests, people with smartphones. If ICE were building a death camp or digging mass graves now, we probably would find out.

So it's important to look at how CBS gave in and how the pentagon restricts coverage in exchange for accreditation - those are your first dead canaries in the news coalmine. When commercial satellites are suddenly forced to blur or not cover ICE camps ...

I would be surprised if they hadn't killed more people in detention already. The aim of ICE is to be state terror, their people are of questionable character, poorly trained or vetted. A duty of care is probably not first and foremost on their mind. There probably is a way to brush some cases under the carpet. Deaths by "natural causes," "misplaced" death certificates, "corpses" on repatriation flights. The spotlight of public attention needs to be on these motherfuckers constantly.

No one taught you this? Even if nobody sits you down for a lesson, you are taught by example by the people around you when you grow up.

Also, the tipping and keeping doors open for people behind you are not universally applicable. In large swaths of Asia you'll be met by ire or confusion respectively. So maybe this is missing a generated image for being culturally sensitive.

No, it isn't.

Maybe I'm out of the loop but can you point me towards some western liberals advocating for a stronger China?

Trouble with Tribbles! Worf just says they don't discuss it with outsiders. ENT does more of the heavy lifting if you ask me.

I think it depends. I'm my experience, towels last longer if they get thrown in the dryer. Wouldn't throw my cashmere sweater in there though, if I owned one. The quality of the clothes you own plays a part. And most of us tend to go for the bargain over quality.

I feel like this depends on your climate as well. If you have sufficient sunlight outside, why do you even have a dryer? If it's humid and stuff takes forever to dry on its own, a dryer might prevent certain bacteria to build up in the fabric and thus expand longevity. Although any act of aggressively drenching the fabric in water and chemicals and then blow drying it ought to age it by default.

I know I deserve to burn in hell for stopping them. But I'm also not sure what was I supposed to do.

I'm not sure why you feel this way. It looks to me like you tried to do your best looking out in a reasonable way for a colleague in your group who was in a chemically altered state.

In the end, you're not responsible for him. Don't go partying with him again. If you end up in hell, it won't be due to this stuff.

Astin's "major warning" is a summary of all already known and articulated concerns surrounding the introduction of so-called AI in the entertainment industry. The only thing I personally learned from reading this is that he is the president of the union.

Regicide is a Latin lego word created at a time when people had long stopped speaking proper Latin. It combines "of the king" with "killer." It followed an established pattern like fratricide, killer of the brother. Note that we slightly perverted the Latin grammar over time by using these words to speak of the killing rather than the killer.

My Latin is shit. I'm not aware of a snappy expression that encompasses "Head of state or government" so we can add -cide to the end like all political scandals since Watergate get -gate at the end.

Dass die Grünen mehr ihrer Politikziele jetzt, wo sie nicht mehr in Regierungsverantwortung stehen, umgesetzt sehen können, ist der Treppenwitz der jüngeren Geschichte.
