1·4 days agoI hope they’ll be gentle if they ever realize Canada exists
here is their canada portal: https://www.aljazeera.com/where/canada/
they also have some documentaries: https://www.youtube.com/@aljazeeraenglish/search?query=canada
Auschwitz was in Poland. They were careful to keep all the concentration camps out of Germany
The six extermination camps where 2.7 million of their victims were murdered were all in Poland, but the Nazis did have hundreds (or dozens, if you count all of the subcamps near a larger one as being a single camp) of concentration camps in Germany.
Posting maps and call it a day. Classic. Any kind of context is for nerds I guess?
Your comment I replied to also doesn’t say anything about the context of the expansion, it just says it “is not real”.
But if you want some context, I encourage you to watch the 20min video i posted earlier in this thread.
NATO expansion
Which is not real. I am saddened you choose to believe in it.
🤔
(via this article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enlargement_of_NATO …which will presumably amaze you)

If you’re actually curious and have 20 minutes, try this video: Ukraine: The Avoidable War
To answer your question: yes, YTA 🤦
Also, I’m deleting this post per asklemmy rule 3.
Snopes says they haven’t found evidence that this is something he actually said, and also that even if he did say it, it was most likely “kayfabe” - a pro wrestling term for maintaining the story line outside of the ring.
Otoh, https://www.houstonpress.com/news/opinion-the-reality-behind-hulk-hogan-vs-andre-the-giant-16554572 is an interesting read i just found while searching for the above which includes some good reasons why Andre might legitimately have stopped being friends with Hogan. Also TIL Jesse Ventura tried to unionize WWF and later learned in court that it was in fact Hogan who had ratted him out to their boss (Vince McMahon). (Or maybe this is all just higher-order kayfabe? 🤡)
Ah, figures. I should know better than to post quotes without checking if they’re attributed correctly
Why don’t you correct it then? (Eg, either delete your post, or replace the linked image with an updated one that attributes the quote correctly.)
This isn’t facebook; please don’t post years-old misattributed quote memes.

That label is there because I’m subscribed to XBlock Screenshot Labeller and it misclassified this image. (You can find here and here more info about how labelers in ATP work…)
i hope you’re joking but if you’re not i assume you live in the bay area? if you want to go to their pitch tonight, here’s its eventbrite.
That pin can be found for $30 or $35 on on ebay here and here, where it is described as being from the 80s and as an “employee pin”.
I was thinking that this might have been something aimed specifically at technology buyers in US schools in the 80s or 90s, to whom Apple offered substantial institutional discounts in a (relatively successful) effort to dominate that sector. However searching the phrase “does more costs less” i found this TV spot advertising the Quadra 605 which at $1000 was the cheapest computer Apple sold when it was introduced in October 1993 (and allegedly cheaper than something else they refer to as “PC Leading Brand” 😂). That system was sold under the LC and Performa brands up to 1996, but it was only sold as a Quadra until October 1994, so, to answer OP’s question: that slogan was in use at least sometime in that year.
3·23 days agoi’m glad somebody got the reference.
(i assume the people downvoting my comment only know the word as an alt-right thing and are unaware of its earlier etymological journey which makes it a relevant response to this thread. in fairness, I’d forgotten how far they went with it in 2016 until I just read that wowpedia page 😬)
Neither did this guy.
The difference is that LLM output is (in the formal sense) bullshit.
