I’m in the thick of a 90 hour audiobook trilogy on the third Reich which is absolutely incredible (link) and Fuhrer is used liberally, partly to describe his ascent to absolute dictator as opposed to just Reich’s Chancellor.
I’m not defending shitopedia for one second! I’m just not sure it’s as outrageous as other shit that’s taking up our limited attention span at the moment is all.
Yeah I fully agree with this. I am thick in the middle of “Third Reich Trilogy” which gives an enormous amount of context to the word though.
If they changed it, it’s further evidence of scummy behaviour, but on its own it’s not a huge red flag for me with historical context.
Can’t recommend the books enough if you’re into that. The lad must have spent half his life in primary sources.
Thanks so much. I thought that would be the case but I wondered around things like “team leader” or “band leader” or whatever.
My guess was that it was forever tainted so I appreciate the context.
I mean the whole stupid Grokipedia thing is a shit show that will never take off, but Fuhrer is just “leader” in German. In it’s used context for Hitler it straight up means dictator and (iirc) only came into full on use after the plebiscite giving him full dictatorial power after Hindenburg’s death in 1934 (edit: He was already the Reich’s Chancellor and merged in Hindenburg’s powers with the vote to make himself full dictator / Fuhrer).
I’d welcome input from a German national - Is the word still used there?
That’s such a ridiculous thing to agree to, knowing that a country with a veto was the most likely aggressor. :(
Luanti (or Voxelibre which is a slightly closer clone of minecraft). My 6 year old is absolutely champion with the mouse from this.
If you want voxelibre you install luanti first then search for it under the “games” section.
edit: This will run on a potato and is installable from the play store if you have a chromebook for example.
Looks good and I love that it is offline without ads and trackers.
It’s something I would definitely consider installing for my mum with the caveat that I’d like to see the source published.
Spot on.
What an absolute load of nonsense. I have spent a decent amount of time in Qatar. I watched what were effectively slaves working away to build stadiums and hotels. It is a fair statement to point out the irony of a place with very strong censorship criticise censorship.
If the BBC lauded a foreign country for the equivalent of bloody Sunday I would point that out too so honestly just jog on.
Edit: just to reiterate, I agreed with the premise up front. It’s not a bad article. That doesn’t take away from a censorship heavy regime criticising censorship through their mouthpiece and I fully acknowledge that AJ is generally decent so no, it’s not racism.
Not at all. I agree with the premise as I said so there was no whataboutism in there. I merely pointed out that a news source from a nation that allows nothing even vaguely approaching what the UK has, to be ironic.
I agree with the premise, but it’s more than a bit of irony that this is coming from Al Jazeera.
Mmmm. You’re taking “company spokesperson” at face value there.
Let’s be real though, a meeting of highly paid, highly skilled people came up with that response then it was sanitised through three more filters before reaching our eyes.
Welcome.
Fascinating read. Thanks. I wish them luck.
Update:
how many black lines are on the aux you’re plugging in?
There were only 2. I unplugged the aux cable but left the USB to aux in and the mic is still tied to it unfortunately.
Thanks for your help. Looks like I’m a little goosed.
Looks good. Never tried it with water mind you.
You can just use regular milk with some malt vinegar or lemon juice if you don’t have buttermilk. It doesn’t affect the flavour in my experience.
I did a post a while back with my recipe for what it’s worth.
Honestly this is magnificent. 🤡
Nice one. This sounds like a good option. I’ll check in a bit.
In his case it was very much meant as dictator.
There was debate after Hindenburg died and he took his powers with the plebiscite (as well as chancellor) about what his title should be. He didn’t want to harken back to Kaiser per the previous Reich so they went with Fuhrer.
It had been used within the party before that but came into common usage as his title at that time.
