I imagine if the Nazi advance into France had stalled and become a bloodbath Hitler would have felt some pushback from home. There's a quote from the beginning of the book The Nazi Doctors from a Holocaust survivor that I've always remembered: "This world is not this world". What you see as civilization is a knife's blade away from barbarism and what we see and take heart in is an illusion. Germany was not a third world country after WW1. It was "civilized". I've heard any number of statements from people I've known over the years from fellow Americans that have made me think they'd be ever so willing to stand by American barbarism that even you would be willing to describe as barbarism. You are naive.

Doctors excavated from the man's right nasal cavity a 19mm×11mm rock-hard mass—the calcified remains of a small amount of marijuana he tried to smuggle into prison a startling 18 years earlier.

He mistakenly came to believe he had swallowed it and eventually forgot about it.
I've read at least 3 books where a chapter ended with this very sentence.



Chick-Fil-A heavily promotes 'National Sandwich Day' which is November 3rd.
November 3rd is a Sunday.

They're probably just calling each other gaping assholes.

I like how Instagram is just assumed to be disinformation.

Lol that video is full of ****. He says that it is a false claim that Google manipulated search results in favor of Clinton, but Robert Epstein already proved that they did.
