It's Dutch uwu speak, but the real version would not be much better: "Oeps! De trein is stuk. Wij zijn heel hard aan het werk om dit te maken. Misschien kan je beter fietsen."

(Oops! The train is broken. We're working very hard to repair it. Maybe you'd be better off biking.)

It's also very worth noting that disabled people (many also Jewish, of course) were the first group systematically exterminated en masse by the Nazis. Disabled people were legally required to be sterilized starting already in 1933 when the Nazis came into power, and mass euthanasia started in 1939 (called Aktion T4). Mass killings of other victims in concentration camps began in 1941.

The people who were considered disabled was subject to interpretation. Alcoholism, epilepsy, paralysis, blindness, and "work shyness" were all conditions considered unworthy of life.

Autistic people, then believed to have a form of schizophrenia, were also a main target. In fact, the term Asperger's syndrome was coined by Hans Asperger as a means of determining which autistics were bound for work camps versus death camps. This is part of the reason why Asperger's is no longer considered its own syndrome but is considered part of the larger autism spectrum. The delineations between the former autistic subtypes were too vague and subjective to be accurate.

Unfortunately, disabled victims of the Holocaust receive little recognition to this day, but it's not surprising when disabled people still have reduced status under the law in most countries.

Few countries offer enough welfare benefits to ensure a decent standard of living. Even then, you lose access to those benefits if you manage to build assets worth more than a few thousand dollars/euros. We cannot get married without reduced benefits in many countries. Few countries have sufficient accessibility laws. Things like obtaining a driver's licence can cost much more with certain disabilities. Many countries prohibit immigration with certain disabilities.

Disabled activists have been sounding the alarm on all this for decades, because we are historically first on the chopping block when shit gets real. Keep that in mind when RFK Jr. starts talking about an autism registry or work camps for psychiatric patients.

It looks like he wanted a big chest piece but chickened out after the lining and never went back to get it finished.

Damn that antihistamine, preventing good hardworking people from being able to enjoy laying in the grass!!1

If you liked Geocities, you'll probably like Neocities

Jesus, every single post is made by the same person.

So the responsibility lies with the person who wasn't thick-skinned, and not with the (likely) hundreds of people who tormented them, got it.

Being sensitive and deeply affected by the treatment one receives from others is a normal human trait. It's not a moral failing. In fact, the world would be a better place with more sensitivity.

It's interesting how so many people won't criticize the bad actors, but easily criticize those on the receiving end of this behavior.

Is it fascist to acknowledge that Harris planned to continue supporting Israel's genocide?

You literally used the term "dunk on" like three comments ago. A bit hypocritical to criticize the use of slang, don't you think?

Chickens will eat almost anything. I once saw a chicken grab a frog and swallow it whole. One of its legs was hanging out of her mouth the rest of the day. She was fine afterwards.

Eggs are also especially tasty to them. You can feed them cooked eggs (very nutritious), but if they ever get ahold of a broken egg and realize how tasty they are, they can start eating their freshly laid eggs before you can collect them.

If you think of the democratic party as first and foremost a fundraising organization, their actions start to make sense.

Here is how the Dutch say Gouda, with Van Gogh thrown in as a bonus.

Or Gouda. For extra fun while you're there, pronounce Gouda the way it's typically said in English and watch the Dutchies flinch as little parts of their soul leave their bodies.

So you haven't contributed anything of use. Gotcha.

Lol she's an academic who has undoubtedly contributed to the body of historical knowledge on the this topic and has written this article which will reach tens of thousands of people, but you're calling her a coward who won't help fight fascism.... What have you done, exactly?

If I ever find myself in that kind of serfdom without a dime in my pocket, I will put on my shoes and start walking.

...Okay Denmark.

Is $47 considered a good deal in the states nowadays? Before I left (2015) I was paying about $80/month.

Now I'm in the Netherlands and I pay $7/month. I don't remember what my plan is but it's something like 8gb data and more minutes/SMS than I could ever use.

Cell/internet/TV plans are a total racket in the US.

Lol are you saying that their deaths are inevitable?

Ideally the US would, you know, stop sending weapons and condemn Israel's actions, while putting pressure on other countries to do the same. At the very least.

Yes I'm well aware of these things. My point was that it's a little silly to believe Harris would have been better purely on the basis that she wouldn't develop the land for personal profit after helping facilitate the complete eradication of a people.

I don't think that's what you personally believe, but it was not super clear from your original comment.

Yes, the real problem here is the real estate development and not the deaths of millions of people.
