They said SS members were not universally evil. Front national was unimpressed.
I think the most important topic right now is confronting the climate change and the problems it is going to cause, on every level local, regional, national and international. This looming crisis is going to affect everything and everyone on an existential level, and requires every of these government levels, even every individual, to fucking work and to fucking stand together.
And now my compatriots elect AfD.
Among the nonaligned is the German far right party that got kicked out of id for being too extreme.
It is known in Germany, "Eulen nach Athen tragen". I've heard the explanation that the currency of Athens in antiquity had owl on one side.
I'm also conflicted on that one, and to further compound yours, I can give you the destruction of the Egyptian museum of Berlin in ww2 as an example of a case where stuff would better have been left in the country of origin, or even in the sand.
That's actually one of the best ways to learn a language short of full immersion, we call it a tandem!
Germany, born early seventies. Background, there was a strong "never again" sentiment after WW2 and to that end we were educated about the horrors of war from an early age. WW2 and the Third Reich was discussed in school and also very present in living memories of grandparents and their friends.
It was made very clear to us where the first nukes would drop (Germany) and who would drop them (Germans). Flexible response was explained to us, the Nato strategy of using nukes first, as well as MAD. We were given estimated times from sirens blaring to explosion. We visited a bunker, and we were imagining nuclear hellscapes and asking ourselves if one should even try to enter a bunker to try to survive. Pershing II were discussed and MIRV, which were new technologies at the time.
Sonic booms from military jets were common, we would respond to that with "Russians are coming". Not fear, but fatalism was the usual response, and a large number of young men would reject draft and opt for civilian service, wanting to do something productive during service instead of training to get pulverized in the first wave.
Then came Gorbatschow, and Reagan would still pursue his star wars programme, which left us scratching our heads.
Around 1000 km per second. Mph, come on.
Edit: says so right in tfa, I'll take the come on back
Edit 2: the escape velocity of the milky way is said to be 550 km per second. The orbital velocity of the sun around the milky way is 230 km per second.
Japan got struck twice with thermonuclear bombs in world war 2, in 2 cities named Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Look it up. They are very much against nuclear arms in general since then.
Watched a bunch of tits (the other tits) romping about the hazel bush, they were hilarious.
To those who don't know, Italians can be super particular about what pasta goes with which condiment. If the recipe says linguine, it's linguine or you can't cook the dish. Spaghetti aren't acceptable.
Also if you sit with some Italians and want to troll them ask them what they think about farfalle (the bowties) and watch the show, most are super opinionated as well.
For me: nigella, calendula, forgetmenots, mallow, columbine, and also chamomile and dill. Which ones will you come up where they want to?
Just power-hungry generals? Anything more to the story?
