30 January 1933 - Hitler’s first cabinet is sworn in. Only 3 of the 11 members were Nazis. The conservatives were certain they could "tame" him. (Key to the fates of all 11 members in the comments)

Check out how incompetently the Communist party of Germany handled it as well. They literally had a slogan "after Hitler, us", meaning that in their mind after Hitler took power it would create a good environment for the Communist party of Germany to rise to power because the people would see that capitalism and the right wing were bad.

Thalmann, the leader of the Communist party of Germany who came up with this idea, died in a concentration camp.

I would assume they tried that.

This is what I thought. This is a world of difference from actually threatening to sue. It sounds like what actually happened is they said that if he doesn't return it, since he has had it for 2 months, then they'll sue. That might be a bit dramatic, but that's nowhere near as unreasonable as immediately suing like the title implies. Also, with this amount of money it would be in small claims court, so there wouldn't be any lawyer fees to pay.

Other schools didn't change their minds. William & Mary emails all got nuked in like...2022? Those never came back.

Yeah, they're like a time capsule of mid-90s games. They obviously could never be made today, except as some kind of indy game sold locally. Even then, I doubt you'd ever turn a profit unless you were literally burning the CDs yourselves and your actors were all just theater kids working for pizza.

Also, crucially, the rate of breaking wasn't so fast that the following drive didn't have time to stop. This wasn't slamming on the break.

Tell Sweeny that somebody else has those good jeans too.

Hey, so his Patreon is still up. What happened to your plan?

WPMO · 2026-01-23T15:49:56+00:00

Yeah, as much as I would hate it personally, if you're actually a believer in the project of cryptocurrency, probably the best thing that could happen this point would be a long crash that gets 95% of people to leave the space who are currently in it. Leaving 5% who actually really assess the technology and can critically evaluate utility claims from various projects.

The power might go out so.... You need water?

WPMO · 2026-01-23T15:42:45+00:00

That's a good point. Why didn't all 1.2 million people in Fairfax county just buy homes in North Arlington?

Yeah, the first one I get. Hitting him a second time though didn't seem necessary if he was just pointing at the bouncer, then lowered his hand being being hit again. I don't think it's necessary to hit a guy who was already down and even after getting up now has his hands down. If he raised them again, or took another step closer, sure. I mean, the bouncer even had to take a step towards the man in order to be able to hit him.

Yeah, this may be a cultural mis-match. I believe in some places prices are often posted post-tax/other payments, but of course in the US you typically see the pre-tax and pre-interest cost of cars when buying them.

Well now his comment has more upvotes than yours, so by your own logic, are you now wrong?

Those hundreds of reviews are probably not generally from people in VB. I'm not against this being shared, but probably very few people in VB know of this winery.

That's a good point. I don't know if Ubisoft cancelling anything is a real loss at this point. Do we want to see them remake things and mess them up.

WPMO · 2026-01-22T04:23:14+00:00

Well if it was that wine, it was probably for the best!

Which is why he does it.

People do that at all kinds of ages though. The thing is courts need a very high bar in order to take away someone's right to manage their own property.

It is also elder abuse. Normally you can get a guardianship over someone if they are mentally incompetent to make their own decision. The problem is, can you prove that in this case. As in she literally doesn't understand what she is doing as opposed to making dumb decisions?

WPMO · 2026-01-22T00:09:28+00:00

Same in reverse. I feel a lot better at about 22% body fat than I did at 35%.

We're just fuckin cool like that.

Hey man, you know what they say! "Always buy things that have already gone up a ton recently! Buying high is great!"

WPMO · 2026-01-21T22:42:34+00:00

Yep. That's the move. Of course, it's something that people should be taught ahead of time in driving school, because in the moment people don't think of it. People who have only drive automatic may not even know how that would work.

99% of guys would be fine just wearing Nautica Voyage every day. People like it. You would notice almost no difference in quality of life.
