- Comment on Are there any plot arcs, or missed opportunities from any TV series that were abandoned that you think should've been picked up or continued? 6 days ago:
Yeah, it’s not that the later (and especially the last) seasons were lesser quality, it’s that it made rewatching the whole show pointless. Before every new season I rewatched the whole thing. Loved it.
Now, even when I think that I’d like to rewatch it sometime I realize there is no point in doing that. It sucked the enjoyment out of everything that came before.

Since they say they will be giving you a quick lesson… might be allright. It will most likely need some time to get used to it but you might be fine. See how the quick lesson goes? They might show you around the neighborhood for you to then drive around yourself and get used to it a bit.

Yeah. I have it wishlisted for a likely later purchase but getting this message public seems like a self-fulfilling prophecy. People might be more cautious buying into it now. I know I am

There seemsnto be a misunderstanding. What I tried to say wasn’t “Hitler is not bad, because Stalin was also bad”. What I tried to say is Hitler was bad and so was Stalin. Each in their own way. Amd neither of them should be glorified.

Gulag is the russian word for prison. It’s just really easy to make foreign words scary to racists.
While I’m not Russian, accusing a Slav of being racist against Slavs sure is hillarious.
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 3 weeks ago:
I didn’t quite intend to put gulags and concentration camps on the same level. But there are some similarities, like being used to disappear political or ideological oponents.
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 3 weeks ago:
It’s important that you visit memorials erected to in the memory of the Victims of Communism, sometimes there are hundreds of names there
We don’t have such monuments over here. But I know for a fact that communist regime in my country inprisoned or persecuted also members of the nazi resistance movement as well as soldiers fighting the nazis abroad. I have no issues with actual nazis getting punished for what they did.
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 3 weeks ago:
You will note I never denied nazi crimes in any of my comments. I just don’t deny communist crimes either.
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 3 weeks ago:
I can’t disagree and I’m aware these are not on the same level. Not a perfect analogy for sure, but still a place people went to die to.
Nazis camps were also not all the same. Auschwitz was a labor camp for example - which yes, still had gas chambrers and ovens. But then there was the like of Birkenau not far from there and thats where people were actually sent to die. It is clear which of those is more evil, but you can’t say one of them wasn’t evil just because the other was more evil
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 3 weeks ago:
Yes, I’m aware nazis and communists were not the only ones doing terrible stuff. That doesn’t make it right
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 3 weeks ago:
the fact that equivocating the worst excesses that occured under the Soviet Union as being anything remotely near the monstrous crimes against humanity perpetrated by the German Nazi regimn is to commit and engage in Holocaust denialism
Now let’s be clear. I was talking death counts. And I do believe that the Nazis were worse. I saw Auschwitz and Birkenau camps and those are sights that I will never forget. I get chills just remembering it. So please do be cautions who you call holocaust denier.
But we are still comparing two evils here. One is greater, one is lesser. But “lesser” evil doesn’t necessarily mean the evil was small.

Afaik Stalin is resoposible for more deaths than Hitler. Hitler had concentration camps, Stalin had gulags. Neither was much better than the other.

- Comment on What's the point in getting married? 4 weeks ago:
The point is the legal benefits and publicly declaring your love and commitment, if you care about that.
You can spend as little as you want, if you only care about the legal status. But since you are probably asking about the usual big wedding - it’s really just throwing a party to celebrate the act. It’s not mandatory. Invite people you want to party with and celebrate life in a way you want.
What can suck about it is the peer pressure from parents and other people to do it the way they want, to do it “properly”.

Obviously I don’t just use blinkers and go without looking. I would’ve thought that goes without saying
- Comment on Do you use your blinker in a car? 1 month ago:
Always. Driveway? Blinkers. Parking? Blinkers. On an empty road with no one in sight? Believe it or not, blinkers.
It’s a muscle memory. When you get used to using them, you just do. If you have exceptions, you might forget it when it matters.
