Stort narkotikabeslag vid husrannsakan. Polisen har utfört husrannsakan mot två butiker i Solna och Sundbyberg efter misstanke om att de sålde narkotikaklassade produkter. 100 kartonger togs i beslag.

I've been thinking about this exact question recently.

My Austrian grandmother and her sister were working class teenagers during the war. They couldn't realistically have done anything to stop the Nazis. They didn't really do much to help but since they were seamstresses they secretly snuck the Jewish family in the building some sewing supplies. It wasn't much and they stopped when they were told that someone had reported them to the Gestapo. Their experience during the war was dodging bombs and trying to find something to eat.

None of that matters. When I was a kid growing up in the US people regularly made Nazi jokes as soon as they found out about my heritage. Nobody was willing to entertain any ideas that maybe those civilians shouldn't have been held accountable.

History judged all of Germany and Austria harshly. It judged the civilians harshly and it judged their descendants harshly.

Sadly, unless the Palestine people turn white all of a sudden, nothing will be done.
in reply to Digital_man

It would appear that Israel will be allowed free rein.

I used to feel supportive of them. Not anymore though. Not a supporter of Hamas either.

Religion has a lot to answer for.

VOTE for Genocide!


~~Lol no, get fucked nazi.~~

I don't think it's worth bothering arguing with them, anymore, since it tends to deflect from both major parties being the beneficiaries and at least sideline architects of genocide. I'm voting Claudia. I said what I said, nothing to argue about. Let them shadowbox.

Eta: didn't think I'd need the sarcasm tag, in my original comment. But I will add quotation marks.

It sure is! It's my fault too. And it's sad that we can't tell anymore.

You know, reasons why are a lot more engaging than just outright dismissal, but whatever I guess.
in reply to averyminya

Two responses.

One just says wrong.

The other actually engages with you on the topic.

Yet you respond only to the one that just says "wrong" complaining that they didn't engage you on the topic.

Self righteous smugness is a hell of a drug, isn't it?

in reply to Count042

What you don't realize is that I did write up a response to the other one. Then I got distracted, the app closed, I lost my response and I moved on.

But sure, insult me more. Good discussion.

in reply to averyminya

By "How 2016 turned out" you mean the Democrats ran a conservative, establishment Democrat when literally everyone was saying we want change? Then she was beaten by an "outsider" and the Democrats went all 'shocked Pikachu face' and blamed progressives for their choices?

Dems think that we owe them our votes while they refuse to represent us. That is not democracy.






in reply to Spectre

Wage Labor and Capital paired with Value, Price and Profit make for a good introduction to Marxist economics. You can add on Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism if you want to see the defining mechanisms of late-stage, dying Capitalism, the Capitalism of today.

Not even kidding, my dad watches YouTube on this smart TV and when an ad pops up he covers his eyes and screams until he finds the mute button. He then keeps covering his eyes until he can fully skip the ads.

Honestly I disagree... From what I've heard from app developers etc... ads generate far less money than even $1 app sales. Now maybe that's the brokers etc... But there's also a reason why Hulu shut down their purely ad supported tier, and none of the big companies are leaning into that. Only "subscribe and get ads" lower dollar tiers.

I'm no super expert, but I think ads are still very inefficiant ways to make money... the profit per customer is very small even with the most privacy invasive blast you away with everything aspect. I don't claim to be an expert, but it appears to me an ad supported service needs around 100x more users to make the same money as a low cost service. However, in actual userbases it goes closer to 1000x when that offer is on the table.




In double breakthrough, mathematician solves two long-standing problems


Pham Tiep, the Joshua Barlaz Distinguished Professor of Mathematics in the Rutgers School of Arts and Science's Department of Mathematics, has completed a proof of the 1955 Height Zero Conjecture posed by Richard Brauer, a leading German-American mathematician who died in 1977. Proof of the conjecture -- commonly viewed as one of the most outstanding challenges in a field of math known as the representation theory of finite groups -- was published in the September issue of the Annals of Mathematics.

Obviously not - this problem was solved remember!? 😜
in reply to Pistcow

"Do you have a preference for dinner or do you want me to handle it?" is like a magic question. It's so much less pressure than "what do you want for dinner" and potentially turns it into a one person decision. If they say no preference, I'll follow up with "I'm going to cook ____, does that sound alright?"
in reply to Pistcow

Decoupling dinner can also be helpful. Sometimes my partner just wants to snack/graze instead of having a whole meal. We call that a "fend for yourself" dinner.
in reply to PlantJam

Yeah but they wont admit that they just want to snack!

Ive met one woman that knew what she wanted to eat and ever meal choice wasnt a struggle.

in reply to PlantJam

No no no! A man doesn't ask, he tells. Women generally like a man to take charge. You have to dovetail that decisiveness with what your woman likes.

Little trickier that, but not too hard if your paying close attention to pleasing her. And if you're not paying close attention to your woman, what the fuck are you doing anyway?! Because I promise, she's paying close attention to you.

in reply to Pistcow

Easy money. The man decides and quickly gauges her reaction. Women like decisive men, not wussies.

"We're going to the Mexican joint for dinner. Sound good?"

See how she reacts. This is easy for a normal human. If she hesitates, change the plan.

"No good? OK, the Italian place it is then."

If she still doesn't look happy, you don't know her well enough. Do better, learn about your woman. Same goes for sex.

in reply to gedaliyah

I tend to enjoy such math issues but I guess I have to wait for ELI5 YouTube video to explain me the issue and potential impact of the solution.
