My grandfather was one of these Russian POW. He was 15 years old. Conscripted and sent to the front without a choice.

He said, he only survived the camp because he met his uncle there. That’s about all he was willing to talk about it.

In the first war years my greatgrandfather (his father) spent 3 years in prison because he spoke not favorably about the Nazi regime. No trial, no visits, no information. Everything he owned, including his business was expropriated by the Nazis.
He was supposed to be moved to a camp but then was suddenly released without any information and conscripted into the army.

Neither of them had any choice. Mere soldiers, the ones in the trenches, generally didn’t.
People were executed for refusing military service and after that they sent your whole family into a camp for “Sittenhaft” (kin collective punishment).

The SS and SA who were responsible for unbelievable atrocities were only a part of the German military. They were the “elite” units.

Last Generation Austria (Letzte Generation Österreich) disbanded recently, because they can’t handle legal fees anymore. Others are on the same path.

While protesters for other causes face no consequences, climate protesters get arrested regularly.

For example farmers in Germany protested that they don’t get subsidies anymore for using diesel engines, blocked and hindered main streets, people and buisnesses. Held a ferry full of people hostage because a politican with his family was on board, with no real negative or legal consequences.

German government caved to the farmers, while at the same time charging climate activists en mass for blocking highways and such.

Just wait for mom. If you are lucky you are just loosing the leg.

They are super agressive (especially when their young are around) and kill more people every year in Africa then lions or other predators. They also have very sharp teeth.

You obviously didn’t make the effort to look at more than the headline.

The article states clearly that colombia tried several other messures to control the hippo population. Neither transfering efforts nor population control were fruitful. But from the 4 hippos in escobars zoo there are now nearly 200 and they expect the population to grow to >1000 until 2035 if they don’t get the situation under controll.

Hippos are super heavy and super dangerous and super difficult to move alive. They just hunt you down and kill you for sport. In addition to being an invasive species in colombia, taking important living spaces from local wildlife (that dies in consequence too).

Just know that for some reason turning 30 is dreadful, but being thirty is the absolute bomb. Your best age is to come now.

I kinda felt like you, with everyone going on about how you have to celebrate the big three. So I treated myself to a yoga retreat in a mountain cabin. Spent the day relaxing and looking inward.

I hate this timeline.

"Dude, I noticed you really can not hunt. See, here. It’s only a little bit alive. It only runs a little bit, so you can practice. "

Disgusting scumbags.

I’m all for vegan and vegetarian alternatives, but … I don’t even know what to say. How bad must your meat cravings be to eat UNmeat ugh.

A website that gives you a different album to listen to everyday following the Book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.

I still have hope.

On reddit there were also a lot of right wing nuts, incels and raging misogynists, but they tended to concentrate themselves into their own subs and echo chamber bubbles. If you kept yourself away from the “Manosphere” (like r/incels, r/MGTOW, r/MensRights…), the likes of TheDonald and the equaly disturbing misandrists of r/FemaleDatingStrategy it wasn’t that bad.

I hope this wave of toxic behaviour towards each other is just some kind of growing pain and these toxic people will find themselves seperating into their own communities wigh time.

You don’t even have to take my word for it.

You obviously don’t (want to) know what ‘femicide’ actually is.

It’s true, that the total percentage of men getting murdered is higher. But they do not get murdered for their gender. Nor are they being murdered mostly by women.

When we speak of femicide, we talk about that women are disproportionately murdered by their partners or ex- partners and family members. The most dangerous place for a women is her own home.

Most attempts on a woman’s life are done by her spouse. And in the past, these murders and attempted murders were often ignored or disregarded, because it’s “just” a domestic dispute. It happens…

But the number of femicides worldwide are actually rising significantly. And that’s why its important to call it out and shine light on it. We can’t just shrug at another ex boyfriend who set his girlfriend on fire.

This doesn’t erase male murder victims, but makes usually invisible female victims visible. The same way that women’s right are not taking away any rights from men. You are not being repressed by women having equal rights.

When people talk about a high rate of deaths from barfights or whatever, that doesn’t erase victims from robberies. You only cry about victims being erased, because its women we talk about.

This isn’t much different then what they are doing since the refugee crisis in 2015. They are forcing refugees and migrants on towards other European countries.

Now they at least offer free transport.

It’s the Exception that proves the rule, is it not?

I wish the majority or at least a lot of people were like Mr. Rogers, but truth is, he was exceptional.

Lemmy is a quite misogynistic place.

Its often no fun to be a woman on here. They might rip you apart, if you say something slightly feminist (depending on where you say it). Made me think of leaving several times already.

I didn’t even realise. Thank you for pointing it out, I fixed it.

Do you have any legal responsibilities towards your in-laws in either direction in Japan?
And can your in-laws also divorce you, when your partner- their child dies?

So this is how the end of humany starts. Fungi with robot bodies…

Like this, just more spores then arms and legs…

The archive isn’t completely dead with that yet. There is still a lot of free domain stuff and private uploads on there. A lot of public records too.

And I think you can’t just randomly buy a .org domain, can you? You have to be officially a nonprofit.

I remember for example couchsurfing had to change from a .org to .com when their tax exempt status was rejected by the irs and they went for profit.
