I don’t get it. From what I can remember from history classes and reading Wikipedia (so not ideal sources!) the victims of the holocaust numbered some c.6million Jews out of the c.14m total victims including, amongst others, c.7.8m soviet pows and civilians.
Surely what Germany should have guilt for is its genocide against humans, not specifically just its treatment of Jews. So unless we’re saying the treatment of communist, Slavic, Romani, gay and disabled people etc by nazi Germany was not such a bad thing actually and it’s just the Jews that Germany regrets killing (and surely we are not saying that!?) then it would seem to me that Germany should be speaking out against any and all genocide, including that of Palestinians?
I’m legitimately confused about this point of view.
Weird but cool keyboard! I have a diy low profile ortholinear split, but have never set up tenting, I’d love to try it some time.
Hey, I don’t have a powerful desktop any more, however I opted for the steam deck over a new desktop just for lifestyle reasons. I don’t have very much free time, and what free time I have isn’t spent entirely on gaming. For me the steam decks secret weapon is that it goes from ‘off’ to ‘gaming’ in seconds, then if I’m needed, off again in seconds even mid cutscene, then when I am free again I press the button and I’m resumed. I can get some gameplay in a precious spare moment which I could never get in if I had to boot my pc, launch steam, install updates etc. it’s too slow. Also I can play anywhere in the house, which means I’m not glued like a recluse to the pc upstairs. With a pair of open backed headphones I can still interact and talk to people in the room with me, whilst not disturbing someone watching the tv (I recommend the Koss KSC75s, super cheap, sound good and they fit in the weird hollow in the back of the deck case when you’re not using them). I do have a usb c dock with connected screens and mouse and keyboard which I could plug the deck into for a desktop style pc experience, it works well but I don’t often plug it in. It’s just better to play on the sofa. For me it’s the only way I’d find any time at all to game. 10 years ago: different story, but now, if I had a desktop pc it would just gather dust.

At this point, for the needless cruelty to make sense to me, it has to be a sex thing. They have to be getting off on it. It doesn’t make sense otherwise.
I get that under capitalism a underclass of people living truly miserable destitute lives has to exist to scare the working class into accepting worse conditions. As all those worse conditions have to be is just good enough to keep the worker out of the underclass to be attractive.
But creating a system where these people have to exist as a societal tool for discipline and then calling the people forced by the system into this misery as taking a ‘lifestyle choice’ as an excuse to take away what little shelter they have is beyond cruel.

In this industry the “means of production” = “hosting and distribution platform and servers”. If you’ve got no way of hosting your content and putting it in front of people, your content may as well not exist. In much the same way an actor needs a theatre.
So as per any capitalist industry, those that own the means of production (I.e. google with YouTube) exploit its workers (content creators) to generate profit in the same way a steel mill owner gets to keep the profits from his steel mill despite the fact that the owner never creates any steel ingots themselves.
You’ve gotta feel like since he was already there and presumably undetected he could have disassembled the gun, and covertly disposed of the components in Hong Kong, told no one, and saved himself a lot of trouble.
But what will motivate the children to work hard and better themselves if they can just eat lunch for free? Checkmate commies.
