Originally posted by HampTheToker You're really going to argue that every PhD that ever published holocaust research was lying to make jedis look like victims?
I'm going to argue that many of the 'established truths' they base their reports and investigations on are highly questionable. -
2016-12-21 at 3:12 AM UTC in The correct answer to how many jedis died in the Holocaustoh, and many of the 'official' primary sources used to 'prove' aspects of the holocaust read like insane fiction. I'll see if I can track some examples down, but someone recently showed me a document written by a jedi camper about his experiences - there was a section in it where he claims that a group of jedis were intentionally starved for weeks by German officers, who then slathered one of them with marmalade - the rest of the starving group began to eat the marmalade off of him, became ravenous and ate him to death. Other sections of this account have been used in official reports.
another I read about a long time ago was an excerpt cited and used as supporting evidence in multiple WWII university courses discussing extermination procedures - reading the text in it's entirety though, as opposed to just the excerpt, the author talks about 'hundreds of pregnant women being burned alive' in a giant oven - and that he'd seen their burning children explode from their stomachs. -

Originally posted by reject Except there were no ovens and there was no gas
the thing that I find most puzzling is the supposed lethality of the gas - it was notoriously poor for delousing, requiring long periods in a sealed chamber to be even somewhat effective. generally historians report that it was more effective against humans (presumeably due to size and configuration of respiratory system) than insects, but checking references on this claim either go to unrelated documents or assumptions without any real basis.
further, zyklon was a popular insecticide for fumigation prior to the war - I've seen and read several interviews with ex-fumigators and they all report the same thing - zyklon was really not that dangerous. they were supposed to wear gas masks and protective equipment when using it, but many didn't... they reported that even in tented houses, ie. literal gas chambers, they were able to work for half an hour to an hour before the nausea and headaches became too severe to work with. -
2016-12-21 at 1:42 AM UTC in Why Japan is better than America.I actually really hate that argument. I hear it all the time from stoners, 'alcohol's heaps more dangerous than weed, we should ban that instead'.
people need to be more fucking honest. for the most part they don't care about safety and just want to get high - encouraging another substance to be controlled does not help them at all. -
2016-12-21 at 1:37 AM UTC in The correct answer to how many jedis died in the Holocaustdunno about 100k, but if you disregard the 'extermination policy' party line the death counts fall in line with virtually every other group involved in WWII

it seems so foreign for a country to know that smoking is unhealthy, but trust the populace enough to decide for themselves whether they want to do it or not. the attitude here is fucking ridiculous; they'd ban it outright if they could - it was like $30+ for a standard pack of cigarettes here last I checked. you end up paying more in tax than you do for the actual product -
2016-12-21 at 1:30 AM UTC in What's your favorite gadget right now?just got an Xperia X Performance, previously had a Z2 from a few years back and didn't bother upgrading because there's literally nothing a mobile phone can do today that a standard model couldn't do 2-3 years ago - they've mostly just been increasing specs which is redundant on a handheld device after a certain point. I only upgraded because I smashed the screen on my previous phone.
the hardware itself is nice at least. -

Originally posted by reject It's rude if I stand outside shops using their wifi? Wut?
I'm British and I don't even consider that rude
I was thinking more standing around inside the store or just using the bathroom, ie. obstructing facilities for paying customers
yeah, just using the wireless isn't negatively impacting them unless you're thrashing it, in which case they should've set up per-client bandwidth limits anyway -
2016-12-21 at 1:07 AM UTC in Why Japan is better than America.
However, simply using Wi-Fi or the toilet and then leaving the store without purchasing anything is viewed as rude in Japan
I'd expect anyone with any self awareness would consider it rude -

on a related note, I always laughed at those headlines that contained 'Nice truck attack' -
2016-12-20 at 2:07 AM UTC in The retarded thread: Fuck, §m£ÂgØL made one first editionyeah I guess, prior to those laws though, most chemists would leave it on the shelves and there was no limit to pack sizes - the best I found were 100x 10mg codeine/500mg paracetamol or 96x 12.5mg codeine/200mg ibuprofen. any higher than 12.5mg and you needed a prescription.
eventually too many kids were talking about it and a bunch went to hospital for paracetamol poisoning so the TGA (I think) changed the status to S2, meaning it had to be kept behind the counter and only registered pharmacists could dispense it (ie. the kids at the counter would have to call the pharmacist over and you'd have to talk to them). -

Originally posted by reject Australia has just banned OTC codeine, leaving Britain one of the last ones left. I'll murder some cunt if they ban codeine and dhc here
haven't heard about it being banned but they put it behind the counter so that pharmacists can play 20 questions with you if you ask for it a few years back -
