Why do these people hate us so mu…

OOF. OUCH.

Can you imagine the size of the counter-demonstration. I really hope this goes ahead.

The Streisand effect is them receiving more by drawing attention to it.

BRB, I think I need to order some butt plugs.

Surely and I mean SURELY this is Streisand effect in full force. I wonder how many they’re going to receive in the coming months.

Oh man that’s gross. :(

I was surprised at how quickly he gassed given all that. He did do a lot of running though lol.

I keep meaning to look up how the Nazis reacted to supposedly “racially inferior” Jewish and black competitors winning events at the 1936 Olympics. I’m sure they’ll use the same rationale.

Edit: well I finally got my finger out. It seems they put them down to anomalies and just kept on thinking they were the best. I expected as much.

One interesting tidbit is that some of the losses were blamed on weather or technicalities hahahaha. Cope.

Jesse Owens (who I just learned won four gold medals) did say that he was treated better in Germany than the US and Roosevelt never invited him to the white house. Shameful. :(

they never bring up that he’s MAGA.

In fairness I didn’t know or think about it until he showed up in that stupid hulk Hogan costume at the fight.

It… was a joke.

There’s some justice. One lad even shot Hitler.

Sorry to hear that. It’s a terrible burden to place on someone just starting their adult life.

Out of interest I looked up the price difference.

Typical fees per year in the EU range from zero up to around 3K euro (about $3500) with most being below 1K.

US starts at around 12K for in state public and goes well over 40 for private or out of state.

That’s debt for life levels depending on the earning potential of your course.

Crazy financial gamble to have to take at 18.

This video was the first thing that popped into my head after reading the headline. I wonder if he saw it once and just internalised “nobody understands it”.

In fairness to her, she swallowed a spider to catch the fly. That should solve it.

Thanks so much. That’s perfect.

New comment in case you’ve seen the previous one… Has reading that thread changed your enjoyment of the book?

I haven’t read the thread yet.

Thanks for the heads up. That’s disappointing. I was excited to start it but I’m still finishing up Revolutions.

I’ll have a read of the Reddit thread in advance though.

That is a great review. Thank you. Just got it with a spare credit I had and it’ll be next up after I finish Revolutions.

I really don’t mind the time commitment. If anything I prefer longer form, more in depth stuff. Both Revolutions and The History of Rome (same podcaster, Mike Duncan) were very long and I thoroughly enjoyed both.

I highly recommend them both if you’re looking for something in the future. The History of Rome is really excellent though he takes a few episodes to hit his stride as it was his first podcast. It’s 179 episodes long and I was bummed when it was over and have listened to it twice so far.

Edit: If you haven’t seen it, The World at War is absolutely incredible. It was made in the 70s so they got interviews with some of the surviving senior Nazis which is fascinating.

I couldn’t bring myself to watch the horrors of the holocaust episode though. Just couldn’t.

You enjoying it? I’m on the lookout for some more historical goodness. My current podcast (Revolutions, which is whopper) is nearing it’s end.

You didn’t? I inadvertently saw so many dicks in school. It was just normalised and nobody cared. The lads locker room was like a nudist beach after 15 or so. We just went about our business.
