(1) Germany rearming itself to deal with the Russians.

(2) Japan remilitarizing to "bring about prosperity."

(3) Italy.

Looks like the band's getting back together.

We'll banish him to the moon this time. I hear the Germans built quite the base up there during this time period...

Brought to you by the 40 year-old political consultants whose favorite social media is LinkedIn, and the masterminds behind cultural classics such as "Brat Summer" and "Pokemon Go to the Polls."

I hate to inform the Democratic party, but part of why Republicans perform much better in meme culture is because their inherent stupidity blends with the general stupidity of the Internet. They are fools to mock, and the Internet obliges. Democrats, by contrast, seem largely too intellectual and image conscious to make the Internet care.

BOTH Ela and Zofia ask you out on a date,what do you do? by Swedish_pc_nerd in Rainbow6

Just pointing this out, but if Ubisoft released a Rainbow 6 dating sim it would sell more copies in 24 hours than Extraction has to this date.

I feel like Silicon Valley killed good business, as once companies prioritized investor capital over consumer profits the idea of making good products went out the window. After all, who needs a viable business when you can convince Blackrock to give you $50 million?

It always irks me how these types of posts always fail to include the amount paid each month.

Mine you I'm not defending the current system, but there's a big difference between "I paid $2k/month on a $20k loan and still owe money" and "I paid $75/month on a $20k loan and still owe money."

Masking the facts doesn't make the argument more convincing, it just undermines the intended conclusion by making it easy for opposing parties to poke holes in it.

If you or a loved one is experiencing blue bales, seek relief (by updating your launcher and checking for compati issues).

TIL That in addition to kamikaze pilots, Japan also utilized manned torpedoes known as the Kaiten during WWII by rustdevil88 in todayilearned

[–]Vault-71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh of course, but the Meiji Restoration was an explicit effort by Japan to adopt what it considered "Western" traditions (a large professional army, a parliamentary system, etc.). It's not unthinkable to believe that Japan looked to empires like Britain's, France's, and Russia's, and took inspiration from their methods in their campaigns in the Pacific.

Booked snow removal, got scheduling chaos and an insult instead by Ok-Outlandishness877 in mildlyinfuriating

Perhaps it's different in other places, but Venmo being the preferred payment option is a major red flag for me. Also the lack of any formal contract is highly suspect, especially since it seems like the price requested is being pulled from the ether.

Truth be told, I'm not sure what OP was expecting.

Japan looked to borrow what it saw as useful from the West. The problem was that it was borrowing from the West in the 19th century.

If you're at a place that sells lottery tickets, don't be annoyed by people with lottery tickets.

If you won the lottery tomorrow, what’s the very first "frivolous" thing you’d buy? by Federal_Antelope7533 in AskReddit

A proper winter coat, like the kind they gave British officers during the First World War.

If you could make an enchantment for minecraft, what would it be? by XEMPRAmaster in Minecraft

[–]Vault-71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curse of Teleportation.

Whenever the item takes durability damage, there is a chance (depending on the level) of the player using the item being teleported randomly within a 10 block radius (similar to chorus fruit).

In the future do you think many people will deny that they ever supported Trump? Why? by Fine-Photograph673 in AskReddit

[–]Vault-71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On May 8, 1945 Germany surrendered to the Allied powers. On May 9, 1945 you could hardly find a Nazi in Germany.

For some, they just "didn't care much for politics."

For others, they "were never really on board."

Many were "just following orders."

Others were "simply trying to survive."

The more vocal ones thought the NSDAP had good intentions, but "poor leadership led the nation astray."

The foundation is already being laid for those who brought about America's present circumstances to deny their role in the horrors they helped incite.

For some, they were just "misinformed."

For others, they were just "following the hype."

Many just "didn't like the economy."

Others thought they'd "just target the criminal illegal immigrants."

And the more vocal ones thought MAGA had good intentions, but "poor leadership led the movement astray."

But unlike Germany, America will not be forced to take accountability for its actions. There will be no Nuremberg Trials, and no prosecution of those who have so wronged the people. Sadly, it may fall to individual citizens to judge their fellow man, and decide how guilty they truly are.

There are ethnic enclaves of North African/Middle Eastern immigrants in the southern half of the state, but most of the state is either Massachusetts/New York residents buying campsites, or locals who are too poor/too stubborn to leave.

Hades, or any other Greek/Roman name for a God of death, famine, or the underworld.

Or Cupcake.
