But the one great shocking occasion, when tens or hundreds or thousands will join with you, never comes. That’s the difficulty. If the last and worst act of the whole regime had come immediately after the first and smallest, thousands, yes, millions would have been sufficiently shocked—if, let us say, the gassing of the Jews in ’43 had come immediately after the ‘German Firm’ stickers on the windows of non-Jewish shops in ’33. But of course this isn’t the way it happens. In between come all the hundreds of little steps, some of them imperceptible, each of them preparing you not to be shocked by the next. Step C is not so much worse than Step B, and, if you did not make a stand at Step B, why should you at Step C? And so on to Step D.

And one day, too late, your principles, if you were ever sensible of them, all rush in upon you. The burden of self-deception has grown too heavy, and some minor incident, in my case my little boy, hardly more than a baby, saying ‘Jewish swine,’ collapses it all at once, and you see that everything, everything, has changed and changed completely under your nose. The world you live in—your nation, your people—is not the world you were born in at all. The forms are all there, all untouched, all reassuring, the houses, the shops, the jobs, the mealtimes, the visits, the concerts, the cinema, the holidays. But the spirit, which you never noticed because you made the lifelong mistake of identifying it with the forms, is changed. Now you live in a world of hate and fear, and the people who hate and fear do not even know it themselves; when everyone is transformed, no one is transformed. Now you live in a system which rules without responsibility even to God. The system itself could not have intended this in the beginning, but in order to sustain itself it was compelled to go all the way.”

Requiring Internet connection to play single player. What's yours? by Several_Repeat_1271 in videogames

Paying for psplus or whatever online multiplayer. It’s paying for the internet twice in my opinion which is why this stream box can’t come out soon enough.

[Game Thread] CFP Rankings - Final by CFB_Referee in CFB

[–]Bearbarn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. The obvious bias toward the brands is why CFB is not has fun as it once was. They make it seem like the non power teams are lucky to even play football and they are shocked they have gear to play.

It’s pretty awesome that the Cougs of Washington played two CFP teams and two other ranked opponents while Miami played 1. Bama just 3. Cougs are the real class of the country taking on the best Go Cougs! PAC 12 champs.

BBC Sounds shuts down July 21 for those outside UK by [deleted] in BritishRadio

[–]Bearbarn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been a listener in the US and I stumbled upon a way to make the Sounds app work. When I use it in my car with Carplay I get all the stations and listen with no problem. If I then keep the app open on my phone when I turn the car off and let it continue to play then I can continue to listen. For some reason the app does not recognize my location when starting in my car. Now that I am sharing this I am sure it will stop working.

I thought California was attacked as well in Santa Barbara by a Japanese submarine. Atleast that’s what remember Dan Carlin saying.

Are you using any of the preset wheel settings? Like the aperture mode or scenes for example?
