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 years agoA 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.

So you trained your cat to murder you boyfriend as an example to the next?
Pratchett has hermit elephant’s in one of his books (I think reaper man). It’s not uncommon to wake up and discover you’re surrounded by a small wandering village.

“Battlefield XX: Pride and accomplishment” is quite different to Portal 3. You can want more than one thing and not want things too.

Technology@lemmy.world•Taylor Swift fans scammed by fake AI-generated endorsement for Le Creuset cookwareEnglish
3·2 years agoVintage 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.

15·2 years agoFor sure, record breaking profits never get passed on to the customer, if anything it pushes companies to see how much they can squeeze from nothing.
But hard times always fall on the customer.
Greed is evil.
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.
Doesn’t work at all in my accent I’m afraid, do you have something else?






I played first time with the game of the year edition and felt massively cheated by that.
