Meanwhile the Nazi officials feared that Catholics may cause a civil war if they didn’t put just the right amount of pressure on the Vatican. And Protestants tried to become the official state church of Nazi Germany.
Lets, not forget either that the biggest monstrosity of WWII was the religious cleansing, who had a beef with the Jews? I think you should take some history lessons. Being Jewish wasn’t a religious definition for the Nazis, we’re not talking about the Spanish Inquisition here. And it’s not like Catholics were more (or less) antisemitic than Protestants.
- Comment on Following accusations, James Pond Legacy devs say no generative AI was used in creating artwork 23 hours ago:
Why should they use some kind of filter to achieve the same fuzzy, plasticy look that bad AI art tends to have? It’s not like that magically appears when you make 3D art.

There was a concentration camp near my hometown in Germany. It was a “work camp” not a “destruction camp”, which just meant they had no gas chambers and people were murdered through extremely hard labour in a quarry. The museum there has a collection of letters that show the interactions between ordinary people and the camp authorities. As far as I remember they had the following conversations on display:
- people asking for forced labourers for their private projects
- camp authorities reprimanding the public not to leave potato skins and other leftover food out when prisoners were marched through town
- people compalining about the stench, thick, oily smoke, as well as blood and bits of bone in the creek
People saw a lot and people talked
- Comment on On Jail websites they let you know the exact address where a Pedo lives. But tells you not to go out and harm them. Has anyone ever used it as a list to go hunt down pedo's? 2 days ago:
So you want to know whether people here commited a capital offense?
- Comment on Siren and Siren 2 3 days ago:
I can see that, but honestly, Kuon is just slow and clunky. Deliberately, yes, but way past the point where it can be enjoyed by anyone but the most hardcore fans. The developers overdid it. It’s one of the main reason why the game wasn’t well recieved. To avoid combat you have to play the game the slowest way possible, while the movement is already slow to begin with. At some point the decisions you make in the game are less driven by aspects of the game’s world, but by how much of your own time you want to invest.
When I played it back in the day, I really wanted to like it but just couldn’t, because I felt like the game tried its best to waste my time.

The Siren games are really unique in my opinion. There was such a lot of effort put into the environment alone that always makes me come back. I never finished one though.
- Comment on 'To own a Razer Artisan Keycap is to display one’s allegiance, a mark of belonging within the Cult of Razer' says the PR nonsense behind this $90 coil of snakes 3 days ago:
Yeah, when you look at it, it’s not very good craftsmanship. You can see the traces of the rotating tools. Since it doesn’t look bad overall, that’s a sign of someone not really putting a lot of effort in it. The creator could, but didn’t really want to.

For that price, it has a really, really bad surface. You can see the marks of the rotating tools.

Isn’t “artisan” supposed to mean “made by an artisan” and not “mass produced trash”?
- Comment on Day 762 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 3 days ago:
I think Remedy always manages to make their games just slightly too long to be completely enjoyable. It’s sill a great game, but the DLCs felt a bit dry to me.
- Comment on After 24 years, Return to Castle Wolfenstein is finally distributed uncut in Germany — game was censored due to strict laws regarding Nazi symbolism 1 week ago:
The rules didn’t really change. It was all just based on a single court decision that nobody cared to challenge until 2018.
- Comment on Games with singleplayer campaigns that let me fight/kill nazis? 1 week ago:
It’s not that it didn’t age well, it was seen as very goofy when it came out, too. If I remember correctly, there was a copy protection that censored boobs in pirated versions.

My newspaper does this. It’s rather left wing, but once in a blue moon a neoliberal gets to write the editorial. The letters to the editor write themselves.
- Comment on If Vampire's are semi dead, then how come a steak thru the heart kills them if they are dead already? Do they still pump their own blood? 4 weeks ago:
It’s folklore and was probably first told among people who had only a shaky grasp on anatomy, but a firm grasp on what organs were considered very important in stories. Think about it: The modern zomby is killed by destroying the brain. This fits our common folk knowledge of anatomy much better than the heart. We consider the heart as nothing more than a blood pump and the brain as the centre of what we are. In former times the heart was seen as much more important, dating back to acient Greek lore who thought the brain was just a cooler for our blood.
- Comment on In this day in age is it still hard for a person to "come out the closest" ? Or do we need the boomer generation to go away until it is so acceptable it becomes laughable for both parties? 5 weeks ago:
In this day and age we have conservative and even far-right openly homosexual politicians who actively work on anti-gay policies. So it seems to me that some people never get their heads out of the closet.

You mean Konrad Dippel? As far as I know it’s very much disputed whether Mary Shelly took any inspiration from the folk stories around him.
- Comment on How does death with a mechanical/artificial heart work? 5 weeks ago:
I can’t remember that he use pickled body parts in the novel. Because that’s basically what happens to bodies used for anatomy training. The way they are prepared they can be stored at room temperature for weeks, just covered with a damp sheet.
- Comment on How does death with a mechanical/artificial heart work? 5 weeks ago:
Sorry, but I really doubt that this can happen. I also worked in anatomy, I’ve seen and felt what the formaldehyde does to tissue. There’s no way that preserved muscle tissue can react to the stimulation of a pacemaker.
- Comment on What is it like being drunk? How much control do you have? 1 month ago:
I think the best way to describe is that you still have total control, but infinite courage. So you might do very stupid stuff that you kind of always wanted to do but never dared to.

- Comment on People who work in medical offices, has anyone ever called to verify a doctor note for work or school? 2 months ago:
I was talking exclusively about work. For school it’s usually not needed at all, only in cases where the child is going to be absent for a long time - or if the school decides that a child has been sick too often.
- Comment on People who work in medical offices, has anyone ever called to verify a doctor note for work or school? 2 months ago:
Yes, that’s kind of funny since the name of the doctor is on that. But if the employer were to call, you wouldn’t be allowed to tell him anything. Now it has been digitized anyway and I have no idea what information is conveyed on that “digital doctor’s note”.

No, since it’s not allowed where I live. You can’t say whether a someone is your patient or not without a waiver.

- Comment on Why do asbestos roofs have so much moss? 2 months ago:
We have a terracotta roof that has similar amounts of moss, it’s about 45 years old. Most Eternit roofs are even older, so it’s no wonder there’s moss on it. Plus, many terracotta roofs are glazed and have a much smoother surface.

- Comment on How much did drug test cost back in the day? I just took one from an independent drug test guy and he does them at 45 dollars per person and earns about 15k a month. Y wasn't the done sooner? 2 months ago:
Were I live that would be a regular price if you don’t use insurance. But from what you describe, it’s a scam. You need a lab, you need equipment, you need to be certified. However, there’s a lot you can do with POCT nowadays. Point of care testing-devices are basically everything you can do directly without a lab: from test kits to magic boxes that tell you quite a lot with a few ml of blood. But individual POC tests are usually more expensive than lab tests and less accuarte. So I don’t think it would make any sense to run a business with that and trying to compete with hospital labs.
