I never knew it was from the office but I wouldn’t know how to use it beyond s contextual reference to sex. A serious setting including sex jokes is either a niche industry or a red flag.

My source is actually slightly complex and non English but the actual source my source has it from is the actually diary.
The full extract can be found here:

October 9th 1942: “Today I have nothing but dismal and depressing news to report. Our many Jewish friends and acquaintances are being taken away in droves. The Gestapo is treating them very roughly and transporting them in cattle cars to Westerbork, the big camp in Drenthe to which they’re sending all the Jews. Miep told us about someone who’d managed to escape from there. It must be terrible in Westerbork. The people get almost nothing to eat, much less to drink, as water is available only one hour a day, and there’s only one toilet and sink for several thousand people. Men and women sleep in the same room, and women and children often have their heads shaved. Escape is almost impossible; many people look Jewish, and they’re branded by their shorn heads. If it’s that bad in Holland, what must it be like in those faraway and uncivilised places where the Germans are sending them? We assume that most of them are being murdered. The English radio says they’re being gassed. Perhaps that’s the quickest way to die. I feel terrible. Miep’s accounts of these horrors are so heartrending… Fine specimens of humanity, those Germans, and to think I’m actually one of them! No, that’s not true, Hitler took away our nationality long ago. And besides, there are no greater enemies on earth than the Germans and Jews.”
Thats an exaggeration of what i said but i guess in context of historical denialism it is a fair nuance to also mention. In a way your own versions of events denies the gradual escalation of evil. They did not Start with gas chambers.
This is my point more nuanced.
The Anne Frank family had lived to trough systemic suppression.
They witnessed and experienced the racism and hatred.
Deportations happend out in the open
But that is pretty close to where we are today!
Jews did not hide out of fear of gas chambers but out of fear of deportation or arrest. Just like today.
Overtime it became an open secret that deportation was very likely death. But you are still surrounded by propaganda. The exact details and extend of the real cruelty where hidden.
Looking it up: the Frank family went into hiding in July 1942. In Oktober that year Anne describes in her diary a rumor on the radio about jews being gassed. They did not wait for that escalation to hide, they started before.
No ordinary citizens knew the truth about the gasschambers, least of all the Frank family.
The propaganda named them “work-camps” which also sounds better then “prison”
Edit: cruelty is gradual, after they hid they heard “rumors” on the radio.
The actual thing they feared was deportation, which could be assumed to mean death but no one knew for sure.
As much as i do consume energy drinks with a meal i do think we shouldn’t normalize it to much.
Also in a “restaurant” the strong flavor can be said to ruin the taste of the food. Though of course in practice we aren’t going to these placed for fine dinning and often precisely to get a chemical fix the places themselves still like to uphold some perception of being cullinary.
As a safe bet: Almost everything “advanced tech” on tv is unrealistic.
The tech is there to drive a fictional narrative. Not to document the historical setting. Things only need to resemble reality. Inspiration from old tech helps this realistic feeling.
I also assume there might be laws that restrict the details movie makers can show in context of law enforcement operations and government spying.
It works both ways.
Sometimes i hear a friend complaining about a game mechanics and i can chip in with a potential reason on why and how the perceived superior way may not be so easy to implement.
Other times you notice the game is dependent on windows specific media files that are NOT standard for windows depending in country, are not shipped with the game and will cause a very specific crash at a specific minor “tv starts playing” event which happens exactly once in the entire game… that is the first introduction mission.
The trick was playing coop and rejoining after the crash. Skipping the scene because my friend sat trough it.
Borderlands 3 ladies on gentlemen. Its not a bad game but that was just the first of many but lots of minor issues.
Who are you talking to?
Noted previously where? Here on Lemmy?
I am not in disagreement with the importance of rain but i don’t see the contextual relevance of your comment at all.
Your catching me off guard but uh sure
loops is a new tiktok like app for the fediverse. And probably most relevant. I say probable because i am still uncomfortable with this type of social media so i dont know what people expect or want from it.
odysee. Similar algorithm based video scrolling but have not tried it.
lemmy, bet you heard of this one before.
mastodon, a similar trend of today. People left twittercorp shithole. Had to make a choice between established actual alternative or brand new and empty twittercorp shithole 2.0
If these event thoughts me something its that people actually have no problem changing platforms and websites. Which i previously thought was the case. Its just seems unpredictable what actual sets a digital migration in motion and to where people will flock.
To add to this.
Just because i failed to act on the stuff that needs doing doesn’t mean i had it easy or that am not exhausted.
Usually the reflective awareness of my stuck state drains me way more then if i would you just be able to get up and do it.
That they specifically went to another sketchy app is what gets me the most.
I could name tons of social network alternatives that are decentralized, give users control but for some reason those are sidelined as everyone suddenly wants an account on app they never heard off a few weeks ago and its main selling feature is that is at least as insecure and censored as tiktok…
I just realized. Windows 10 is being shelved but there is only one version ahead of it.
I remember xp still being considered good when i had win 8 installed.
How is that not understood as as a blatant attempt to maximize user control?
Actually looking at the numbers xp and 8.1 retired within 2 years of eachother. And 10 first got retired in 2020 a year before win 11 was released to make way of windows as a service updates which is actually what is getting retired later this year.
Microsoft kindly please get your shit together… or dont and strengthen my work requests to migrate systems to Linux.
The weird thing with this is i became a pc gamer precisely because it was the cheapest platform.
Most homes had/have a desktop pc. The hardware was mostly irrelevant because Low graphics settings where default and actually looked more readable then the dlss blurs of today.
Rich people work so hard to deserve their perverse wealth /s The only way they can still blow of steam is by pretending to grind online multiplayer games no actual working person has enough time for.
What kind of flex is this supposed to be?
I dont know path of exile in detail but being a top mmo player has always struck me of an archivement in dedication of time much more then inherent skill. The learned skill the pros have just comes natural with enough dedication.
My general reaction to something like it is not more then . Wow “you” must really enjoy this particular game. Is that reaction really worth cheating for?
Do we think he lacks the general life experience to be able to reflect on the common knowledge that a pro failed more times then the beginner has tried?
I known Elon is neurodivergent if not full on autistic but so am i and i cant make sense of this guys wims.
Confident and well pronounced speaking. Combed hair and good hygiene.
This is an observation, not an endorsement. I botch up normal speaking frequently and i find i am way more judged for that than whatever it is i actually say.
Elon Musk is a terrorist.
Weaponized influence and money against governments and people.
Colourblindness knows many types, most can still see color. Some types even see more or shifted colors.
At least on paper it seems plausible to measure the colour detection cones per iris and then build a filter to strengthen color per eye for which detection is lacking.
The moment i realized they sold them without detailed personal eye scanning involved i knew they were a scam. Gimmick at best. Worst part is they seem catered to people as gifts for colorblind friends, thats just a way to obstruct people from analyzing them to much. What are they going to say? “I dont for a sec believe this overly saturated view is realistic and your gift sucks”? No, they will say “wauw thank you” and shove it in a drawer somewhere next day, never to mention them again.
Envision reality like a flowing river with many branches. It flows in one direction, the direction of time, splitting into countless probability streams. With our understanding of reality, the river as our guide to pick directions, our consciousness travels these cosmic-logical probabilities like a boat. There’s no paradox to unravel - we’re simply becoming aware of the flows we’ve always been going.
So when do they arrest the cops and people complaining who all openly admitted to feeling aroused?
Under fire: Some corporations that make abortion pill filed a complained about their suspension and was since reinstated.
I wish there was fire. This did not even make it to Zucks desk.
