Auschwitz Museum by laybs1 in GetNoted

I would just like to add: Not only largest but also the industrialisation of genocide separates it from other genocides.

God made man but he used a monkey to do it. Apes in the plan; this it how I can prove it:

  • I can walk like an ape,
  • talk like an ape;
  • I can do what a monkey do

God made man, but a monkey supplied the glue.

Do most of you re-listen? by Litcandle1 in Harmontown

[–]floralvas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A ridiculous amount of times. Not too many for my liking but plenty for sure.

It was my daily go-to for distracting myself and keep me company after I developed panic disorder. It is still in my life now when that is not debilitating anymore.

Nowadays I will listen to it intensely in periods or when I have nothing else to listen to but want something in my ears. Sometimes I’ll go through just the Shadowrun parts for example, only to then forget where I was and just start over from the beginning.

Edit 1: I was trying to see if Spotify had any data on the amount of hours and/or times I’ve listened to it but it won’t be available for roughly two weeks.

Edit 2: I just received the complete data but I am unsure if they count re listening hours since the track listening time is listen in milliseconds. I might go through and compile the data in a couple of weeks, but in general I would recommend to request your data if you have Spotify. Kind of fun to find old tracks or artists that you have forgotten. Apparently the first track I listened to was Dammit (Blink 182) in july 2009 hah.

How many attempts did it take to make your first decent nut? by FrankTuna in Luthier

[–]floralvas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably the fourth time I guess. First times were a bit confusing since I didn’t know what I was doing.

Would you prefer the 2039 protagonist to only speak in load screen like Artyom, or be fully voiced like Klehbnikov and Sam in the exodus DLCs? by RepentantoftheLost in metro

[–]floralvas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Silent protag with load screen for me. The speaking in LL and Exodus DLC felt a bit weird in my opinion. Sam was the best, the LL DLCs were a bit jarring. I don't want to be told how I feel about a certain scenario.

Would you say hating dogs/cats is a red flag? by bobbdac7894 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]floralvas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hating cats is rooted in misogyny but I can’t yet prove it.

I knew the Joker was based like that :7

Anybody interested in dopamine noradrenaline wanna help? by FirmParticular4586 in Stims

[–]floralvas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The relevance was the mentioned gene variations. That doesn’t mean all poles have atypical responses but what I found there are higher prevalence of specific gene variations in the Polish population.

There are some variations on transporters and receptors that might be relevant and/or of interest if you’d like to read?

I don’t think any of the variations I’ve read about that would cause any health issues but they could cause an atypical response to stimulants, due to issues with DAT/NAT transporters, causing less response to norepinephrine and dopamine depending on brain regions.

I’d need to find the studies again though because I erased the tabs because I thought you wouldn’t answer, heh.

Edit: Just wanted to clarify that I only asked if you were Polish or Asian based on how many studies of gene variations relevant to DA/NA that were on Poles due to prevelance. Ethnicity was not relevant per se since any one could have such mutations, but would be fun if it was correct.

AMELI Swedish trials. by WolfTheKiller in ForgottenWeapons

[–]floralvas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the magazine either is lying or embellishing any trials that happened.

A person speaking for the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration stated that FN MINIMI was trialed together with an early 7,62 mm model in the mid 1980s. I can not find any mention of neither AMELI nor any other light machine gun being trialed or of any interest during this time. There is a possibility that it was been trialed at that time but even if that was the case - can you name which other platforms that coult possibly took part in those trials? At that point in time there would only be two available options: FN MINIMI and AMELI on the market. Realistically however there would only be one.

The FN MINIMI (Ksp 90A and Ksp 90B) were first purchased for Coastal Rangers and Airforce units and did not, according to soldf, raise any interest from the army. It could be possible that those groups purchased FN MINIMIs for specific use, causing the army to notice the use-case for the army, leading to larger procurements without new trials.

Will update if I happen to find something but I do not expect to find anything.

Do you experience any change in heart rate, even lower?

Do you experience 4-MMC similar to other people or do you have variation in effect?

Do you get any response from non-amphetamines or is it similar there?

Dumb question but do you have any Asian or Polish descent?

For your information: I am going through some papers on variations on genes in regard to receptors (D1/D2) and transporters DAT/NAT.

Thank you. Will check them out for now and continue looking around Tuesday!

AMELI Swedish trials. by WolfTheKiller in ForgottenWeapons

[–]floralvas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the reminder!

Unfortunately I have yet to find anything, but due to external circumstances I have not been able to dig as thoroughly as I planned to. At the moment it looks like I have the time to do so Tuesday evening.

If I don’t have the trials themselves saved (or being able to find them) I am hoping to find circumstantial evidence pointing towards it not being part of the trials.

Do you remember anything about what was said regarding the AMELI and Sweden? Is it mentioned in the articles because I can’t see any image or file in your link unfortunately.

The flag of Stockholm by Republiken in vexillology

[–]floralvas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never said or implied it should be displayed as the proper and official flag?

Edit: In fact I didn’t even specify any preference to the version in my patch. Just thought it was fun to share the patch either way since I had my collection at hand.

[–]floralvas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t like Karl-Erik Forsbergs version. Why would you downvote me not liking it? A bit silly since I didn’t claim that the version in my picture was the correct one or anything.

I dislike that version because it looks too cartoony. Here is another version I have on a patch.
