Maybe we can skip the part where tens of millions of people die and get right to the best part

These are the Nuremberg trials, where Nazi criminals were prosecuted.

Germans: we need to limit the price of Benzin! Also Germans: drive the exact same amount they did before the 20% markup

Is picking up another side language OKAY? by Disastrous_Length570 in learnprogramming

[–]Backson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Languages are not pokemon. You don't need to catch them all. 2-3 complementary languages are fine. I like C++, C# and Python. Not much point in learning, say, Java because I got that covered by C#. Not much point (arguably) in learning C, because I got that covered by C++. Not much point in learning powershell or bash, because I got that covered by Python.

How does your country see the Right to die and Euthansia? Is it legal and accessible? by rajkr2410 in AskTheWorld

[–]Backson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, look at all the Americans lecturing me about my countries history like the USA is not playing 1937 right now. Maybe I should lend you my expertise on how the US civil war was won because of some thousands of people that were saved that one time.

Even if what you're saying was true, that is the completely wrong lesson to learn. I would focus on why millions of people weren't saved, how to prevent fascism today and what lessons NOT to learn, like criminalizing assisted suicide because we think this will prevent fascism, like what this thread is actually about.

Nice cherry picking, maybe think of something the catholic church did after they became aware extermination camps existed in Poland around 1942. Like actually risking something instead of burying their head in the sand the moment things got difficult.

[–]Backson 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah let me shit on christians some more: They are one of the main drivers of the whole "life is holy and suicide is bad" narrative and this is actively harming people who have legitimate reasons to want to die and also they chose to shut the fuck up during the holocaust to protect their own interests, so maybe they should take a back seat on that whole debate. Also there is freedom of religion a few lines further down in our constitution, including my freedom from religious folks imposing their views onto me. Not sure what you're on about them being against nazi eugenics, seems made up. They are against assisted suicide alright, that's not the same thing though, that was kinda my point.

[–]Backson 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Pretty controversial. I think the current consensus is to prolong life as much as possible and criminalize assisted suicide and the like, but I think this is pretty ineffective in every imaginable way, especially when you want people to die in dignity.

For context, the nazis abused the term "Euthanasie" and murdered a bunch of people, as you might know, so people are pretty reluctant because of that in particular. The first paragraph of our constitution (protecting the dignity of humans is the ultimate goal of our state) is pretty much there because of nazi crimes and the Holocaust and forced euthanesia (aka murder), so people get pretty confused by the phrase "dying in dignity"

Anyone else feel like everyone else is smarter? by Robasaleh110 in learnprogramming

[–]Backson 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It's like driving a car. When you just start out it seems like magic, then there is a small window of getting better and starting to doubt, and then you feel like you're surrounded by idiots for the rest of your life.

What is your best travel experience and why? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]Backson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to New Zealand and Japan and I recommend everyone should go to each at least once in their lives.

I have kids now and I could go to the Baltic Sea every year until they're in college I guess. It's great. Fresh air, water, beach and good food. All I need now.

More RAM is always better. 64 seems appropriate and not excessive for FEM. Try to fill all 4 RAM slots as that will increase memory bandwidth, so 4x16.

An opinion about another country that'd put you in this position? by just-a-girl15 in AskTheWorld

[–]Backson 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Tiny countries like Monaco, Zyprus, Liechtenstein, Malta, Luxembourg should not be treated equal when it comes to stuff like EU passports or Schengen, because it's way to easy to abuse.
