Greatcoats actually work well on a bike when it starts to get pretty cold (ca. -20°C), I have a thick wool one that is Russian navy surplus and I might look like I just biked off of a warship, but it keeps me warm yet also breathes if I get too warm. Also, it's long but splits down the middle nicely when I straddle my bike.
I haven't biked in much colder than that, though in the winter it easily gets to -30 to -40 here. I kinda want to try but it's quite intimidating both in terms of keeping all my extremeties as well as all the ice.
Myles Powers is a youtuber who has a pretty popular set of videos regarding the Leuchter report.
Also, I'm still not sure I care it's from 4chan given how benign the actual etymology is, comparing it to the swastika is honestly pretty reductive if not outright offensive imo, but whatever.
Firstly, there is no need to warn me and be all condescending. Secondly, there are many reasons I like the name; military history is indeed one of them, but that does not mean I worship the historical nation of Prussia – I am not a monarchist. Thirdly, I do not live in the US and couldn't care less about people who think American politics are global politics. Fourth, I do not need to constantly do a song and dance online to be a leftist. Fifth, kek comes to English from Korean via WoW and rightoids do not have a monopoly on language.
“If you want to educate yourself and really are German as you claim you can visit our museum to learn more.” What museum? What do I need to be educated on?
Can't believe I need to say this but yes the Holocaust happened, and it was bad.
Prussian blue is also used in medicine, did you know that? I am a pharmacy student. There's quite a few reasons I like the name. Holocaust denial is not one of them. I also watched the Myles Power video.
I really don't understand how people have gone this long without realising that Linus and the company lost any morals they had (if any) a long time ago for the sake of profit. In my opinion Linus is just another greedy capitalist who treats his employees like shit and only cares about profit.
I would've expected more people to have at least noticed that the videos are pretty low-quality in terms of actual substance when you look past the professional coat of paint, and it's been that way for a loooong time.
Ummmm actually bestie, you have to join a super duper extra special communist party with fries and ketchup-characteristics, not just a "communist party," or else you're basically just a liberal.
Their post about our defederation is absolutely unhinged, I must say – top keks if you can handle reading it. Seriously, though, I am quite shocked at the amount of vitriol on their instance; being a leftist myself, I don't really understand the point of being mean to everyone that they would presumably want to help via their politics.
“Oh, you live in a Western country and are subject to late-stage capitalist horrors? Let me save you – wait, you don't agree with me? Then go screw yourself, good luck in the revolution.”
Certainly education would be the solution, overcome the Stockholm syndrome?
I see a lot of the same addons here, as one would reasonably expect, but I'm surprised there's been no mention of uMatrix. Using uMatrix and denying most elements by default, you can manually allow scripts, media, etc. per domain and save those rules for pages you go to often. It gives you more granular control than simply choosing to allow/deny all third-party scripts, and you can see exactly what's going on under the hood.
Interesting, I don't see the other one. I meant to imply that this guy seems to like to conflate the law with morality with regards to the outrage over Assange, as if he has not reached the post-conventional stage. "Why are people outraged, he broke the law, you can disagree but the law's the law." is how I interpret his thinking, and I think that's childish.
“The post-conventional level [of morality], also known as the principled level, is marked by a growing realization that individuals are separate entities from society, and that the individual's own perspective may take precedence over society's view; individuals may disobey rules inconsistent with their own principles. Post-conventional moralists live by their own ethical principles—principles that typically include such basic human rights as life, liberty, and justice. People who exhibit post-conventional morality view rules as useful but changeable mechanisms—ideally rules can maintain the general social order and protect human rights. Rules are not absolute dictates that must be obeyed without question. Because post-conventional individuals elevate their own moral evaluation of a situation over social conventions, their behavior, especially at stage six, can be confused with that of those at the pre-conventional level.
Kohlberg has speculated that many people may never reach this level of abstract moral reasoning.”
Linguistic prescriptivism disgusts me.
