Dans l’arène des imbéciles sans complexe méritant mépris, moqueries et mépris absolu, les Français trôneront toujours sur une tribune d’honneur. Cela est dû à leur provincialisme arrogant et absolu lorsqu’ils se proclament arbitres du goût. Leurs prétentions prétentieuses et élitistes à être la source des meilleurs délices épicuriens du monde ignorent toujours leur plagiat puéril des techniques, des saveurs et du talent artistique de leurs voisins européens, notamment italiens, et de leurs lieux de pillage asiatiques : les Indiens, les Chinois et les Japonais.

N’oubliez jamais de leur rappeler leur grossièreté inconsciente lorsqu’il est question de goût, d’art et de plaisir de vivre. Sinon, leur pompe étouffera tout.

Et surtout, faites-le en français. C’est le comble du bonheur que d’insulter les porcs français dans leur propre langue absurde ; c’est vraiment comme s’essuyer le derrière avec de la soie.

The Quebecois

Hey I hear ya. That’s how I did it, personally.

Sell weed.

Genuinely curious about that. I can’t find any literature or blog posts about that unfortunately.

Better than plastic tupperware.

On the fourth date we watch π

Daimler-Benz AG (which included the Mercedes-Benz brand) merged with the Chrysler Corporation in 1998 to form DaimlerChrysler.

I remember it vividly as a teenager. It’s been in an utter shit show since then, in my opinion.

The caveat is that I’m highly biased towards Japanese manufacturers. My family owned two Chryslers. After they both had tremendous drive train issues, my father said never again and bought Japanese from then on, aside from a 2004 Volvo S40. The Toyotas and Hondas were extremely reliable, fuel efficient, and very easy to perform maintenance on comparatively.

If I were to buy German in this era, my two preferences would be Porsche and Audi.

However, your individual experience is valid as cars’ reliability is largely individualistic to the specific vehicle and its owner.

Classic well-kept Mercedes-Benz are a joy to behold and I suspect to drive as well.

Mercedes-Benz has been trash for many years now, so this tracks.

Knowing the necessity for the defeat of the Imperial Japanese government, the burgeoning country-wide famine, combined with the inevitable bloodbath of a mainland invasion, the Allies justified the use of nuclear weapons, the details of which you can read about in the articles I posted above. Nazi Germany and the USSR were also developing their own nuclear weapon systems. A demonstration was deemed necessary.

I personally would not have authorized dropping the bombs on cities. Easy for me to say. But I certainly would have been living the rest of my days in despair at the mindless slaughter and ritual mass-suicide that would’ve ensued during the invasion of mainland Japan.

I don’t envy the choices the Allies had to make while combatting Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and Imperial Japan.

In the context of WW2, the United States was morally justified to oppose the Imperial Japanese Government.

In context, against the Imperial Japanese Government, unfortunately, yes.

Imperial Japan was far more murderous, in the context of the 2nd World War, which is what this thread is about.

Clearly not.

What part of @Denjin@feddit.uk’s statement do you disagree with?

In the last days of WW2, the Japanese military were getting children to make sharpened bamboo spears and training those children to attack American soldiers on sight. The elderly and women were told that they should kill themselves before potentially coming under American control.

The Japanese civilian population had been indoctrinated into the belief that western soldiers were absolute monsters who would carry out unspeakable acts on them should they become prisoners (ironic considering the IJA/Ns actions during the conflict).

In the battle of Saipan, hundreds of mothers leapt from cliffs with their babies in their arms to evade capture, men would slit their children’s throats and booby trapped the bodies to injure Americans and then themselves fought relentlessly, before mostly killing themselves or being killed to prevent capture.

The level of blood shed at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was unprecedented but it did in fact save untold Japanese civilian and American soldiers’ lives.

Crucially, even after the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima Japanese High Command still refused to surrender.

The Allies had just fought the Battle of Okinawa, the bloodiest battle of the Pacific Theater.

Have you ever even read any of the history of the proposed plan for the invasion of mainland Japan and the casualty estimates? How about the reasoning for opposing the Imperial Japanese Government?

Or Is this your opportunity to virtue signal to people on the internet by implying Americans are murderous pigs and the jApAnEsE dId NoThInG wRoNg?

This insatiable greed will be our downfall, and there’s nothing natural about it.

I would argue that it is natural, that avarice and greed are natural things. My theory is that the overactive amygdala in our brains is ill-suited for modern societies that exist due to large-scale cooperation and some flavor of magnanimity. Though it’s obviously an evolutionary adaptation for our ancestors, the irony is that it will be a large cause of our extinction.

Of his best friend’s ride. Tryna holla at me.

“Thriving” is a bit strong.

Wildcat strikes. Unions can be infiltrated.

I’m turning 42 this summer. I’m considered an “elder millennial”.

I’m tired, boss.

Well… not without some garlic and onion, naturalamente.
