SlipUp posted:But the Hitler youth, which the ss drew from, was not, no? As an organization they were responsible for indoctrination and brainwashing youth as young as 12. They are dealing with it in the appropriate manner, given the circumstances. He would need to be held accountable for his actions, which is just as true of 17 year olds as it is of 27 year olds, however. Today, he would probably be best served by an intervention program and psychotherapy; whether that would direct him toward a more positive outcome than otherwise would depend on him and on the creation of a support network independent of the peers who'd pressure him to keep engaging in delinquent activity. Not that that's relevant in this case, since he's 93 and not still 17.

Chomp8645 posted:I'm assuming old SS guard must be accused of doing something above and beyond typical soldiery, yeah? Like it's not normal to prosecute individual soldiers just for having been there. He must be accused of having committed some specific crime(s), not just "was on guard duty at the camp". "Simply following orders" has not ever been a credible defense.

Takes No Damage posted:A hunter was gored by the deer he thought he shot and killed We humans killed the apex predators that would otherwise be keeping deer populations under control. Hunting deer is, therefore, a component of habitat conservation, since without sustained, selective predation, deer would destroy their habitats entirely and then die of starvation. Many hunters contribute their kills to local organizations to help provide food for the poor, if they don't process the deer for their own use. Are there people who do it for sport? Sure. But the general practice is habitat conservation. You want to talk about sport-hunting, look at the fuckers hunting rare animals, not hooved vermin in the northeastern US.

Zaphod42 posted:what? Diets don't work in the long term; the majority of people who attempt them return to their previous weight within five years; some of them even gain weight within five years. This includes calorie-counting, any fad diet you care to name (including the so-called 'Mediterranean' diet), glycemic indexing, WW/Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, etc.Because, here's the problem: diets are you intentionally starving yourself, and the mechanisms involved (your hormones) absolutely do not give a flying gently caress—starvation kills temperature regulation and causes lethargy, cognitive impairment, and other problems. So people stop dieting after they guiltily eat a decent loving meal for once...and oops, all that suffering was for nothing. Exercise won't cause you to lose weight, either, because the amount of exercise you do would need to be consistent and significant to offset the food you eat. A 20-minute walk burns about 100 calories, give or take. Eating a serving of beef jerky or a typical protein bar will wipe that out and then some. If you're overweight (let's say 250 lbs), you're gonna be loving miserable–which is why fat people don't tend to exercise. Beyond all of that, obesity is not inherently unhealthy, as it turns out. Almost all of the health issues commonly associated with being fat are from being out of shape and from doctors ignoring overweight patients' concerns because obviously the knees, ankles and feet you wrecked in high school at 180lbs are because you're 250lbs today.

Schadenfreude: The ZigBee Alliance, the folks who made home automation possible without assigning IP addresses to smart devices back in the 90s, are working with Google, Amazon, and other Internet of poo poo manufacturers to devise a WiFi-based interoperability protocol. So future hardware designed to use ZigBee will probably be just as vulnerable to hacking and whatnot as current non-ZigBee idIoT poo poo.

When you can get dimmable lighting with a standard light switch without smart bulbs, let me know. (No, brown-outs and excessive power usage elsewhere in the house don't qualify.)

Replacing a standard flip light switch with this is totally using a standard flip light switch. I guess it wouldn't be the internet without the complete inability to not reflexively offer solutions that fail to meet the specified requirements. Chef Boyardeez Nuts posted:My dishwasher doesn't record me loving people (probably). The complaint isn't "home automation bad" it's "the tradeoffs one makes for this ostensibly superior product are not worth the mild qol upgrade." They sell a remote dimmer.

Devils Affricate posted:That exists too, it's just a pain in the rear end to accurately control the dimming with a standard switch. I mean, sure, but here's the problem: I'm light-sensitive (glaucoma) and most of the time I want dim lighting. Sometimes I want bright light. I can achieve that most optimally with smart bulbs (I prefer Phillips Hue or IKEA's Tradfri platforms because I am not buying botnet bulbs and both of those companies use a platform where only the gateway has an IP address). So naturally I'm going to go with the smart bulbs.

Other than that, it's pretty tacky to publish traced art; it's a learning tool and a crutch.

There's got to be a better way to erase its history than fire. Buildings like this are intentionally made beautiful to play off of useful idiots like yourself. They serve as a rallying cry for white supremacists, always have, and always will. Any structure that serves such a purpose is inherently unfit for existence. We should not be in the habit of maintaining symbols of oppression, because they will continue to serve as such. There is no historical value, set against that, that merits any outcome other than the destruction of said symbols.
