But hating Germans and hating Nazis isnt the same. The degree of separation is quite important.

My question is, why are all the other empires not judged to the same standards? Colonialism sucked, but Britain didn’t invent it. Yet they seem to be the only target.
What a pathetic comment. Judge the person not the nationality.
Every country ever has “looted artifacts”, that was literally the point of war for like 4000 years. The vast majority of the British museum’s items were legally purchased. Just like every other gallery in the world.
Would you take Mona Lisa from the Louvre? Obviously italian.
As someone born in Britain, it saddens me to see so much hatred throw around casually.

Science Fiction@lemmy.world•I'm REALLY well read and I have a hard time finding new books to read. I need an audiobook for train ride->plane flight->bus ride tomorrow. Please halp!
8·2 年前A lot of sci Fi fans also get on well with Terry Pratchett. The audio books are really good, although I prefer Stephen Briggs who did the 2nd half to Nigel Planer. You can’t go wrong with Going Postal, it doesn’t rely on much from the earlier books, or Men at Arms if you wanted an earlier book in the discworld series.
If you wanted to stick to sci-fi, The Stars my Destination is one of my favorites, it’s a modern count of Monte Cristo. Speaker for the dead is also one of my favorites, the sequel to enders game.

Technology@lemmy.world•Why It Was Almost Impossible to Make the Blue LEDEnglish
51·2 年前Haven’t watch the video yet, but I remember how impressed my step dad was with the blue LED when we got our PlayStation 2. I was like, yeah great whatever let’s play games, at the time.
How do you separate your anger at the world from your regular everyday anger at morons? It’s a real struggle.

Technology@lemmy.world•Taylor Swift fans scammed by fake AI-generated endorsement for Le Creuset cookwareEnglish
3·2 年前Vintage le creuset is great. Just like pyrex and the rest of them though they’ve gone way way downhill.
If I could bear being in a thrift shop for more than 45s I would be hunting the good stuff down.
While that looks absolutely fantastic, the worst thing in the world is biting in what you believe to be an olive and discovering it’s a tomato in your mouth. Split your rounds.

World News@lemmy.world•Tories facing 1997-style general election wipeoutEnglish
5·2 年前It’s so rarely the people in the cities who actually live and work with immigrants every day who don’t want them. It’s the small village people who suddenly have 1 brown person they don’t know how to interact with.
I don’t, tell me.

Games@lemmy.world•What's your favorite game that you will NEVER finish?English
2·2 年前I for sure will never ‘finish’ this game in the way you can finish things like binding of Isaac. I just love to play it for fun and no objectives in mind when I play.
I don’t really disagree with anything in this, but I still did 30 hours and had a load of fun in 4 days between Christmas and new year. I was constantly expecting some twist with all the fish murder I was doing though.
Listed as season 7 on D+ for some reason

Technology@lemmy.world•The UK tries, once again, to age-gate pornographyEnglish
3·2 年前They’re called public schools because anyone could attend them as long as they paid the cost. They were the alternative to private schools which were for nobles or religious training etc that you couldn’t buy in to. Comprehensive schools, free schools for anyone, came a lot later.
Plan the activity with a smaller group than you would want initially. Then invite others to an already organized event and rely on fomo to get people to go. Works great.

RetroGaming@lemmy.world•If forced to choose one retro console forever what would you choose and why?English
1·2 年前I’d say the gamecube for smash melee mostly, but the first Wii was backwards compatible so there’s literally no downsides to that over GameCube.




I’m pretty computer stupid. Been using Linux for 4 years now. Used the terminal to some extent, but I’ve only needed it for specific things and my day to day doesn’t need it at all. Just dive in.
