  • Twofacetony@lemmy.worldtopolitics @lemmy.world•Donald Trump ridicules Kamala Harris’ chuckle, maybe because he almost never laughs

    What kind of hell-scape-reality-tv-show-fuckfest dimension have I entered, when a candidate for the Presidential election is being judged, by a fucking laugh?

    A laugh?

    This is really bottom of the barrel, petty, childhood shit.

    The sad thing is, I know there will be people that don’t vote for Harris her because of her laugh. And for every person that doesn’t turn up to the voting stations and vote because of whatever reason they have… remember that there are people that WILL turn up to the polls and believe your country should be run by a misogynistic, racist, uneducated convicted felon…

    but hey… at least he doesn’t laugh.

    From my vague recollection,

    1: Main entrance. Trains would enter here and pull up to the long platform.

    1. Prisoner platform that ran a few hundreds meters in length.

    2. An officer/doctor would be at a table around here, and would evaluate in a moment whether they were to be sent to the housing sheds, (4) (6), or if they were to walk down to gas chambers located at 5.

    3. Intact “housing” sheds that have not been demolished and are currently preserved.

    4. Mass extermination gas chambers and four crematoriums.

    5. Razed “housing” sheds after the liberation of Auschwitz Berkenau (Auschwitz II). I think nearby residents and farmers took a lot of the material for rebuilding the area after the Nazi’s lost the camp to the Soviets.

    Taking a tour around Auschwitz and Auschwitz II was a very sobering experience that left me quite numb… and while it was quite upsetting, worth doing if you can make the journey

    Thank you for the article. The more I learn about it, the more fucked up it truly is. I had a basic understanding of bad it was from a simple perspective, but the more you learn, the more messed up it becomes. I really hope there is something good to come from how monumentally messed up the situation is.

    I’m getting used to GDPR regulations in my line of work I haven’t had to deal with… primarily with how my industry uses AI transcription for media. We have to be very careful with which transcription services that reside outside of the UK are used. so if for example, we use an S3 based transcription service in the cloud that is based in France, we might come into issues, even though they might be GDPR compliant. It’s all a bit of a mess, but once you know what to do it is okay, but to cut through the red tape to get an answer can be laborious because so many people need to agree to the request

    That’s just one little thing, out of hundreds of impactful changes because of Brexit. It really was a ballsup

    I genuinely asking for some education on Brexit, because I personally thought, and still think it was a terrible decision for the nation, but I am hoping to get a better understanding from real people and not just read articles. I know I can research it, but would like to hear personal opinions/thoughts/etc….

    I am a UK citizen, but I was living my teen and mid adult life in Australia. I didn’t get to vote on Brexit as I was not residing on the country at the time, and never thought I would return. Circumstances have changed, and I have now moved back to the UK at the beginning of the year, so I’m in the thick of the Brexit mess now. I can’t comment on what life was like before Brexit, but I am now a citizen of its consequences.

    From my limited understanding, and what I really need clarification and advice on is;

    Brexit was a campaign point that David Cameron ran on for election. When he won, he called the referendum, but he was opposed to it. Meanwhile, the Brexit campaign was in full swing with lots of misinformation, but Cameron only decided to rally hard in the leading three months up to the vote, failing to properly educate and explain the deal to the public.

    The vote was close. Somewhere in the 52%/48%

    Cameron stood down

    Brexit happened, finalising at the end of 2020

    I know there’s a lot of nuance, and I know I’m missing a lot of major information, but is my understanding the very basic gist of what happened?

    Thanks for any response
