That’s the older brother of Sütterlin. So, no.

I feel like at least the example here is very legible. What I can not do is read Sütterlin, a historic form of German handwriting script. The text in this postcard is German, which is my native language. Except for some very simple words like “wir” or “mit”, I cannot read this.

Apparently this article already made the rounds in 2022. Newsweek was writing about it back then: newsweek.com/resurfaced-1978-article-sexualizing-…
They say “the author, bylined as Ed Dwyer”, which to me sounds as it might’ve been a pseudonym.

I can’t find a source for it, though. It’s definitely not from Mein Kampf, as I went through all occurrences of Sonne and it’s not there. There is one quote in there that says: “only once the sun went down can the moon shine”, but that’s quite different. I think it’s just another misattributed quote.
- Comment on Anon is all smiles 5 days ago:
It’s attributed to Hitler. But after just having looked into it, it seems dubious.

If you want to shine like the sun, first you have to burn like it.
- Comment on Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face 6 days ago:
Disclaimer: I don’t like Discord and stopped using it years ago. And this announcement is just another step on the road to enshittification. It’s a shit corporation going public and becoming more shit in the process. Simply don’t use their shit.
However, it seems a bit rage-baity to claim that Discord will require age verification for all users. That simply doesn’t seem to be true. Age verification will be required for users who don’t feel the basic features are enough. Were I still dumb enough to use Discord, I don’t think I’d feel the need to go for the age verified account.

One thing I think about regularly when seeing the ocean is that we’re all fine with swimming in a body of water that has dead people in it. All the oceans are connected and the probability that there is at least one dead person in it at any given time is extremely high if not outright 1. And yet I don’t think there are many people who won’t enter an ocean because there are dead people in it. Yet there won’t be many people who will willingly enter a small pool with a bloated, rotting body in it just to go for a swim. So somewhere between these two scenarios is the threshold where you’re fine with the dead body to water or space ratio.

I felt so happy to remember this >20 year old image when I saw the title of this post. I remember finding it very funny back then. Anyway, what’s the appraisal? Daddy needs a new pair of shoes.

I think from an end-user perspective it’s realistic to expect Word to edit PDFs. It’s just that the PDF format is an unbelievably complex clusterfuck and thus requires an entirely separate and expensive program.

I don’t get the criticism listed there. I get that the topic is highly contentious, but I don’t see how the comic comes across as anti-abortion. The opinion of the fox is OK to have, people are allowed to have opinions and to voice them. It’s just important that this doesn’t overrule the bodily autonomy of the mother. Which, to me, the comic makes quite clear.
- Comment on A Jamaican accent just makes me smile 2 months ago:
To clarify, patois is a generic term, as is creole, and can apply to any non-standardized language and is not specific to any particular location or group or language. That’s why it’s called “Jamaican patois” in the screenshot.

I didn’t say I found it funny. But it’s clearly intended as a joke.

I read this joke and then guessed the username. I guessed correctly.
