The first hand account I personally heard was a man named Johnson, don’t recall his first name, but his son is named Eric and he was my high school history teacher, who also served as a green beret, the father was a medic, he was traveling with a British group of soldiers, he had to do triage at a camp, lost of details stuck out to me, the nazi staff threw grenades into the offices to destroy documentation, the train tracks had been blown out for days at least and there were carts full of human remains they were transporting to who knows where. When they were gathering all the survivors they found a man alive hung on a meat hook, and he said there were a single digit number of men who came up to them, did a nazi salute and explained they were in the camp mistakenly and wear always good obedient nazis. He focused a lot on a man carrying around his brother, he did triage and told the man his brother was only hanging on by a thread, his eyes were already dry was his main concern and he marked him as ‘‘aid last’’ basically, he likely wouldn’t survive under any circumstances. Then decades later he was commuting to work in SF where he lived, and stopped to by a paper got the train, and after he spoke a man he didn’t recognize stopped him and asked if he remembered the man carrying around his brother, and he did, the man was the brother who was carried, he somehow managed to survive and recognized his voice after all those years. They stayed in contact for the rest of their lives. And lastly a student asked him what the most shocking thing he witnesses, and he said the most shocking thing that he really still didn’t understand is that the people who survived the camps and walked out weren’t destroyed, even so soon after liberation they had the capacity for joy, love, and lived their lives. I’ve talked to two men who were American soldiers and witnesses the camps in that context, and believe me, just being there for a day or two was a burden they could hardly carry, it was a living nightmare. But people survived. Anyway, That’s all I remember about it, I haven’t been able to find anything on my own to point to, but that’s enough to at least connect the story to a person I know he talked about it publicly at some point.

I know about words, man. I disagree with the word choice. That’s the entire conversation.

You think it’s OK because it spits out grammatically correct language on your end, but if you spoke both languages you’d get how it fails. Look at translations of Korean comics if you’d like to see how badly mechanical translation is when it’s a connected story across multiple chapters, I was reading a comic where a character said he liked the elegant and sophisticated sound of calling a lightning strike skill ‘‘bolt’’ instead of whatever he was calling it ‘‘lighting strike’’ I think. It took me a while to realize what or whoever translated it didn’t know how to look at the context of the translation and find a English word that English speakers would find at least old fashioned if not archaic and of course longer or more poetic sounding. It’s like the whole thing when JRPGs can’t figure out if they should localize names by just spelling out the phonetic sounds in Roman letters or actually translating the meaning of the name, or a thing no one’s ever done and find a name in a European language family that has the same meaning.

Just like the AI art, it’s not replacing good translation, it’s replacing hack job translations, it’s replacing mediocre and predictable art. I really don’t care if someone uses AI in the pre-production or some post production functions, just not the part you need a human for, the actual creativity, there’s an adage in 3D animation ‘‘it you let the computer do it, it’s gonna suck.’’ You can let the computer do inbetweens, but you better be giving it nothing near a key frame. It has to really be the very least important frames.

Being old millennial is weird too, most millennials think I grew up in the 50s compared to their life experience. The generation gap between me and my dad is what kind of manual car with a carburetor and hand crank windows we consider ‘‘new’’ looking. But I entered the job market at EXACTLY housing bubble burst. And I was worried I’d get drafted for Iraq, but, alas it thankfully didn’t happen.

That’s ingesting the ‘‘I’ll get right back to you’’ form of revolution sounds more plausible than anything else I’ve heard. Just slow walk it to death.

That’s what the Civil War was about, there is no legal way to exit were one nation period end of story millions of dead soldiers proved it.

If a state tried to leave they would have to prove they could no matter the laws. It would be war. No ifs ands or buts. That means having a military that could take out the US military. Currently the top Airforce in the world is the US Airforce, the second largest Airforce is the US Navy, then it’s Russia, then it’s the US Army. Unless you can somehow convince the military to side with you when you leave, it’s not going to happen. I would imagine if you tried to claim it legally the best you could hope for is Federal agents walking in the second said state gov claims independence, and idk arresting the heads of state for treason, and telling said state to elect a new gov.

Well, they could make a deal to buy at a price adjusted for tariffs so it’s a lower price then compensate for that with lower prices on CA exports you don’t actually need to stop tariffs legally, they can be worked around the trick is trading something back that makes up the difference and costs less than the tariff to give.

It’s really not legally possible, meaning your either having a revolution, a civil war, or the USA has no ability to stop you as it’s effectively over.

Unless CA has military bases that would fully side with them, as in all the ones in CA and they would need other states, THEN a war could be possible, but that is very unlikely, currently there’s no military that could beat the US military, so it’s not even worth going over unless the US dissolves.

Oh man is translation not possible with AI. You have no idea how little languages have in common. A lot of terms don’t mean a thing, but combine concepts you don’t have or associate to point at a thing.

My dad said, about learning a new language, ‘‘cat means cat, not gato, don’t translate’’ and I think that holds up pretty well from my experience.

If people understood how the stock market worked they wouldn’t be dumb enough to vote for Trump.

I could see the argument in both directions, I just feel like with the whole plot point of the books that they are the stewards only should exclude him from royalty.

I know your right in saying people vote like Trump was the conservative, but Harris was really the conservative. Trump was the populist autocratic. thinking the GOP is the conservative party is crazy to me. They haven’t been in a long ass time. You want status quo and security for your money and livelyhood? Don’t vote for the populist who has ‘‘ideas’’ about how the country should REALLY be ran.

That’s how you get Pol Pot shutting down food imports because he wanted higher domestic food production, you know BEFORE they could make enough food to feed everyone without the imports. All the other autocrat or populist that instantly rammed a country into the ground also had a cult that made them entirely delusional.

People who want extreme ‘order’ are really good at organizing and fund raising, and breaking the law and daring the rest of us to do something about it. People who like making sure everyone has rights and those rights are protected aren’t.

“shed” try “bottom out” or “nosedive” or “crash” or “fell off a cliff into total oblivion” or “oh my god my retirement account!!” you know. be honest.

they’re all the same dimensions, it’s just perspective making them look that way.

Boromir is literally the highest ranking aristocrat next to his dad.

Don’t worry the 1% makes huge amounts of profits when the market crashes and even more when it goes back up.

For the cult? Yes. 100% and they will never come around. There were people in the concentration camps (single digit not trying to rewrite history, this is all according to eye whiteness accounts of soldiers that freed the camps) who were still 100% dedicated to nazism and Hitler.

Lol it’s so funny That you’re a typing bag of hammers. Lol. Good one bro.

They start active shooter drills in Pre-K. That’s 3-4 years old. You’re kids are going to be more likely to be shot at school than a police officer after 20 years of service. Homie, they get told.
