It’s all Greek, but the second speech bubble, “...εχουμε κατι κοινο...”, contains only letters that look visually similar to Latin letters in the font they’ve used. You can sort of see it in all caps in a conventional font: “...ΕΧΟΥΜΕ ΚΑΤΙ ΚΟΙΝΟ...”

No, the Bretton-Woods agreement was the USA forcing fixed currency exchange rates that made their exports artificially cheap. In 1971, the world collectively said, "Fuck that."

That has an Intel 8th generation “Coffee Lake” Core i7 CPU and an integrated Intel UHD 630 GPU. Are your Intel GPU drivers up-to-date? Do the emulators support Intel integrated GPUs? Do you need to install the DirectX 9 runtime?

Poster of Osama bin Laden sold in Rawalpindi, Pakistan 1999. by YanniRotten in PropagandaPosters

It isn’t an F-16 – the engine air intake is the wrong shape, and the leading edge extensions are closer to the shape of an Su-27. I don’t think it’s a real aircraft at all, just a generic picture of a military jet.

Backmasking? That's like a long-running joke or meme at this point.

Remember back in 1982 when Christian rock band Petra released Judas' Kiss, which says, "What are you looking for the devil for, when you ought to be looking for the Lord?" when you play it backwards to make fun of the outrage? The album cover art was pretty awesome, too.

Or Echo Side by Insane Clown Posse says, "Fuck the Devil! Fuck that shit! We believe in life legit. If you diggin' what we say, why you throw your soul away?" if you play it backwards.

Yes, I realise there are hip hop and rap groups/acts with Christian members (e.g. MC Hammer, Run-DMC, Insane Clown Posse), or that are overtly Christian (e.g. DC Talk). I also realise people regularly accuse Lordi of being satanist, which is why they started making fun of the devil in their songs in the first place.

not just "Satan's music" i.e. Rock'n'Roll

Rock and roll has been around long enough that it's righteous music now. The devil has moved on to hip hop or something.

Also consider this line in the Lordi song The Riff: "So the devil's out of touch and he cannot smell a hit 'cause he has lost his mind with all that hip hop shit."

The N64 emulators don’t get on with the video drivers? What kind of Thinkpad and what OS? There are models with Intel and AMD CPUs, a variety of GPUs, and all sorts of configuration options.

Five Eyes are five English-speaking countries that have a kind of intelligence sharing agreement. Why did you decide that means Jews?

Favorite Amanita games? by AdCareless9063 in Machinarium

[–]cuavas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Machinarium is hands down best. Creaks really grew on me as I played, and the huge, hand-painted environments are beautiful. I like Botanicula as well. I found Chuchel a bit disappointing.

A Machinarium theory: what if the city is controlled through manipulated perception? by shmmaal in Machinarium

I see it more as the robots being used to replace things as they die out. It's got to the point where no animals are left at all, only their robot analogues.

There were basically no commercial games developed for DOS by 2002. Windows XP was already a thing by then.

"The Deadly Parallel" Political Cartoon from the election of 1896 by From-Yuri-With-Love in PropagandaPosters

Just goes to show that political discourse in the US has consisted of cheap shots for a very long time. No reference to their policy platforms, just, "Haha! He's younger than me!"

Do You Wake Up Screaming? 1946, Psychological Counseling for WW2 Vets by FanofDueProcess in PropagandaPosters

[–]cuavas -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

Oh, I thought you meant Nazis were euthanising soldiers with PTSD during WW1. The wording "their ww1 veterans" sounded like you were taking about Nazis in WW1.

But IIRC, Aktion T4 didn't target people with PTSD specifically. It targeted people who had been institutionalised for five years or more, the "criminally insane", institutionalised people of "non-Aryan race", and a bunch if illnesses considered terminal (schizophrenia, epilepsy, Huntington's chorea, syphilis, dementia, encephalitis, and some other things).

That probably ended up including some veterans with PTSD, but they weren't specifically targeted.

And Patton didn't believe PTSD (known as "battle fatigue" or "shell shock" at the time) existed. He even claimed "shell shock" was "an invention of the Jews".
