I do not think german nazis were too motivated against africans, specially african-americans. They were ultra racist against Jewish and Slavic.
The American nazis were the ones obsessed with skin color against black people.
At least that’s the impression I get when reading about those times.

Now I have a doubt. Could you have a stable orbit around the singularity but inside the event horizon?
Maybe you could live a comfy life there.
- Comment on When Americans Fly Economy, They're Actually Paying for Someone Else to Fly Private 4 days ago:
Moat of these platforms are not recording things that benefit from horizontal recording.
Take into account that the content on this platforms tend to be personal videos. A person talking, dancing, something like that.
We all have read the copypasta about vertical videos back in 2002 but times have changed.
- Comment on When Americans Fly Economy, They're Actually Paying for Someone Else to Fly Private 5 days ago:
There’s no conspiracy here.
It’s far more comfortable to watch vertical videos in a phone instead of having to rotate it constantly for each video.
It’s also more comfortable to record videos vertically using a phone, which makes a direct translation to post a vertical video in a platform that’s phone oriented.
- Comment on When Americans Fly Economy, They're Actually Paying for Someone Else to Fly Private 5 days ago:
Most people don’t do that. The format of the videos is going to adjust to its public. Short videos meant for TikTok, stories or shorts, are going to have a vertical format because that’s the way most people will enjoy them.
- Comment on When Americans Fly Economy, They're Actually Paying for Someone Else to Fly Private 5 days ago:
Most people watch videos on a phone where the vertical format is more convenient.

If you are happy you are happy.

- Comment on Why is blue and pink traditionally associated with men and women? 6 days ago:
I read that the paintings “pinkie” and “the blue boy” were famous at the time when mass consumer products started being commercialized, thus the association.
- Comment on How does one join a terror group? Like example ISIS , do people go to a secret website sign up and get provided flags, bomb parts, or whatever? Or is it just a person saying what they did was for ISIS 1 week ago:
Most recruiting comes from legal extremist groups with linked ideologies.
Usually terrorists will approach you, more than the other way around. After you’ve been profiled you may invited/coerced to join.
If they want you to make an “action” (they usually not call them terrorists attacks), they will provide you with minimal information, and the supplies will only be provided strictly when needed. Depending on what you are doing it can be hours of weeks before the action. Training will be non-existent. Most terrorist actions do no require training, just a human to do simple actions. If you are in an active warzone it would be different, you’d be trained as militia. But for typical domestic terrorism they won’t really provide training right of the back. If with time you grow into the organization they may train you in shooting if you would be doing actions which require shooting a weapon, or in explosives if you are going to be more involved with that. But terrorist groups tend to rely in recruiting already trained people more than in training them themselves.
As for ideological brainwash, you are expected to have some good degree of radicalization before joining, but a great degree of brainwashing will happen in jail once you are caught. A terror group is another prison gang, and they will try to keep you inside their ideology while in prison so you can continue working inside and, maybe, outside once you are out, probably not with direct actions anymore.
At least that’s my understanding on what happened with ETA and AlQuaeda here in Spain

- Comment on Do gangs that collect protection money actually do any protecting? 1 week ago:
In general they are the ones breaking your windows if you don’t pay. Paying for protection is more like paying for them not to fuck you up. If other person does something to you it’s not their problem.
At least that’s how it works here.

- Comment on 'Consumers are not okay with okay': Take-Two boss says BioShock 4 is taking so long because the company's goal is 'to make the best entertainment, not necessarily the most entertainment' 1 week ago:
I really disliked bioshock 3. So I have little hope.
The story was over the top but without saying anything interesting or iconic.
Gunplay is a weird mix between call of duty and bioshock and it doesn’t work.
Upgrade system along with only two weapons felt weird. Topics are less useful and less common than in previous games.
“Choices” in story are not choices, completely useless.
Companion AI is bland, they promised a revolution with Elisabeth but it’s just a fly tied on a cord, there’s zero AI in it. It can’t die so there’s nothing to interact. It just moves around you, pretend to seek supplies and to hide from bullets but it’s all fake, it cannot be hurt and she just tosses you supplies on scripted events.
The bird is hyped and have zero impact in the gameplay.
And I could go on…
Bioshock 1 is a thousand times better game in every single aspect.
- Comment on Black Holes 2 weeks ago:
Different things.
The singularity of a black hole is located in space.
The initial singularity of the big bag happened “everywhere” the whole universe was supposed to have infinite density.
The mass of the black hole is finite. It’s very dense but it have a quantifiable amount of mass.
For the big bang the mass was also infinite as far as we know. Everything was singularity, every “energy” in your body was part of that infinitely large singularity.
Beyond that we don’t know much about both, there are barriers which prevent direct observation of both.
The expansion of the universe is a completely different matter, as it’s not only expanding, it’s expanding faster that out gravitational models predict, like the universe is not only “ignoring” black holes, it’s expanding despite all observable matter, and all untraceable matter (dark matter), and it’s expanding faster and faster driven by an unknown phenomenon we call “dark energy” for giving it a name, because we have remotely not idea of what’s going on.
- Comment on Black Holes 2 weeks ago:
The original comment were referring to the ring singularity which is different from the accretion disk.
The singularity is unseen, we suppose it’s a ring in rotating back holes, but we have no idea. As anything inside the event horizon, we cannot see what’s going on in there.
The accretion disk is the disk of matter falling into the black hole, it’s outside the event horizon and can be observed.

Out of those I only know blockchain being used in spain as a way to ensure legality of accounting books, and that business are not commiting fraud by deleting invoices. Not in a public ledger or anything, just a hashed chain that they need to send to irs equivalent.
- Comment on What's the easiest way to get hookups without seeing escorts? 3 weeks ago:
Go on tinder or a music pub, whatever he prefers, and approach people that he finds attractive.
Go with respect and making things clear, to avoid issues. He would need a few tries but surely he would be able to find who finds him attractive and it’s down for some uncompromised sexy time.
- Comment on What's the easiest way to get hookups without seeing escorts? 3 weeks ago:
On bars and tinder?
Without being good locking you go nowhere nowadays. You don’t even get a chance to show how funny, witty, common interests you have, much less to show that you have a good hygiene, for that you need a date first. And you are not getting swiped right if you are not attractive.
That is good for other kind of relationships, meeting people in other places and flirting. That can get you laid, but not the same type of quick casual sex that op is asking for. That’s more of a “start a relationship” kind of deal.
For the kind of date that goes “let’s have a drink to figure that you are not a psychopath that’s going to kill me and then to my place to fuck”, you need to be attractive.
I like to be clear with this. Because there’s tons of very good young men, who are funny, have great hygiene, are witty, are nice. And they have to confront the reality that without being good locking they will have to assume that that kind of sex is most likely out of the table, and they better try to build other kind of relationships instead. i prefer that to gaslighting them into thinking they don’t get laid because they are terrible people on the inside or have terrible hygiene, when this is most likely not true. And when they are seeing truly terrible people getting laid regardless because they are good looking.
My advice is that if you are not good looking you have mostly two options, think about experimenting with gay sex (you might like it) or completely opt out the dating scene (specially dating apps) and just build into making friends and potential love partners. Without really expecting quick casual sex, as that will lead to huge frustrations.
- Comment on What's the easiest way to get hookups without seeing escorts? 3 weeks ago:
Step 1: be attractive. Step 2: be attractive.
If you want quick heterosexual sex woth a woman without paying you’ll need to be attractive, that’s about it.
Now, if you were gay things would be easier.

Correct me if I’m wrong. But your testicles will still produce valid material don’t they? That could be extracted and used for artificial insemination if needed, I think.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Unless you have a stable partner there’s no much point on a vasectomy. You will need to use a condom regardless.
I would wait until there’s a strong reason for getting it. Most people wait until they have a stable partner they want to have unprotected sex with.
