As war grew nearer, the SS were permitted the right to use Army land for war games. Safety practices were not followed with Himmler stating that the SS must be used to “being within 50 to 70 meters of the explosions of his own artillery fire.”⁷² For context, in standard military practice “the method of engagement when the target is (rounds will impact) within 600 meters of friendly troops” is considered “danger[ously] close” which indicates a certain degree of risk for friendly personnel.⁷³
Himmler noted that it was sad that prime German youth must sadly be cut down in training accidents, but there was a method behind the idea to ignore safety in war games.⁷⁴ This came from an idea that suggested that the pain endured during training would ensure that when war came the Waffen SS would be ready to perform at their highest possible level and save lives in the long run.
The casualty rates of the SS did not support the notion that the dangerous training methods were effective. Tim Ripley’s analysis of combat on the Eastern Front suggests that some units suffered somewhere “in the region of 75 percent casualty rates.”⁷⁵ These casualty rates are supported by where the SS divisions found themselves in combat. When combat started the Waffen SS commonly found themselves at the tip of the proverbial spear for German assaults.

Alpaca 1: “Is that a fire?”
Alpaca 2: “Yeah, probably”
Alpaca 1: “Oh, ok. Just making sure.”
Alpaca 3: “Huh?”
I figured the one that looked into the camera is like “yeah I did that what are you gonna do about it”
XD
Have a nice week, Oppo! 🫡
There a rumors that Linkin Park’s new vocalist is a scientologist 🫠
Yup. Just like Kutcher and Kunis, she backed Masterson when the indictment dropped; + the rumormilling is that her parents are basically Scientologist secret police; some of those that harass whistleblowers against the scam. tl;dr I’m with Jamie on this one
she backed Masterson when the indictment dropped
But he was a good friend to me.
Masterson is a fucking monster. I don’t know how these people live with themselves.
I didn’t know about her parents. That’s kind of sad, actually. She’s probably been indoctrinated since she was a child.
You too Oppo 🫡
☺️👍🏼
the amount of racism towards indians i’m seeing online is just crazy. some chinese nationalists are on a mission

most of the arguments here are cherry picked, there are also protests supporting palestinian cause, yearly palestinian aid but sure that doesn’t get mentioned
look at this comment
It’s always funny seeing people who claim to be anti-Isr**l suddenly fall in line and heap them with praise when they do something “based” like this week’s attacks. The truth always comes out
“yeah I hate that they’re Jewish but I like that they kill brown people”
I saw someone on reddit complain about linking to a tweet because Twitter is a right-wing removed, and someone replied “And reddit isn’t?”
But then someone replied to that with “Seriously? Right-wingers don’t plague Reddit.”
Ahahahahaha
users have negative self awarenessThe DPRK won against the USA in FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup!!!
Thinking of quitting my job as a postal worker once my contract ends. It puts a lot of strain on my body since I have to do a lot since the routes are all long. I’m getting back into fitness, but realised my body is not getting fitter or stronger from my work but only getting more overloaded and more injury prone. I pulled a knee muscle on my free day because of the overload, at least I hope it’s a muscle and not a minor ligament tear which is a possibility as well.
If only they were still nationalised so profit isn’t put first, and more postal workers would be able to work for less hours but better pay.
postal
Are ya gonna sign this petition? 📋
burn a book save a tree
Would there be a way for you to apply for a position in the postmaster general’s office or other office type environment in the postal sphere? Might be a bit easier then finding an entirely new job, and your experience would benefit any application you’d put out.
Or an office position in a postal organization or corporation if there are no opportunities in the public sector.
It seems that PatSocs have been ramping up transphobic and queerphobic rhetoric lately.
The book launch event for one of my professors just ended, I’m going to get some cake. I wrote notes during the presentation and will share it on Day 10 of the chronicles, so those who are curious about it stay tuned. He talks about camps and with that comes gulags and the Uyghurs.
Turns out one of the annoying guys from my global politics classe in semester 3 was there too, and my assumptions of him were confirmed because when he was talking to a professor in the room he admitted he likes the ability to yap as much as he can in class (I knew he loved the sound of his own voice). I am once again vindicated.
Commenting before I forget: on the way home I saw a Vietnamese building and they had the FLAG OF THE SOUTH on their roof alongside the Canadian one. Embarrassing.
South Vietnam flags are very popular in the US as well.
Your hating being vindicated >>>>>>>
Hexbear down again
What happened?
Nothing, the site just does that 🫠
big oof
this is a very chilling video. they have english subtitles (it’s from Caravan)
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I found a classmate’s Reddit account lol. He was talking about some hobby and a subreddit about that hobby. When I came home I checked the subreddit and searched for a specific word that had to dowith what he told me and then I saw a picture that he showed me.
So how wretched is this classmate based on what you found?
I didn’t see anything bad
Ever since I found a chud coworker’s reddit account based on OSINT only to find out the kinds of porn he was into (for timeframe’s sake, this was before r/jailbait got erased), I just assume anyone who leaks their own reddit acct irl is into some reprehensible shit off rip
orange site on pager attack.
“can you name any USA politicans supporting this?”
I dunno, the ones who don’t want to stop sending them billions of dollars and weapons. The fuck?
Checked r/lebanon and it’s mostly anti-Hezbollah posts. Like I said before, country subreddits are almost all compromised
