controversial technology opinion 

I seem to be in the minority here but a web page should be able to load its content without needing JavaScript. If your page only loads an empty wireframe without JavaScript, you’ve failed at the web. Bare minimum, load the fucking content. If it’s being pulled dynamically, do that server side and then generate a damn page.

I think this meme puts things into a scary perspective, and it is entirely true, no need for exaggeration.

When homosexuals were liberated from concentration camps in WWII those who were there for being gay were put right back into prisons in germany at least.

Basically most of the laws the Nazis enacted that made the jews and other groups "illegal" were repealed. However paragraph 175 which specified that homosexuality was illegal due to "indecency" remained on the books until 1969, and under that law for the homosexual population the holocaust never really ended.

Some perspective I think its good we all have on the issue.

Just for the heck of it, (ask me anything). I'll answer some questions for the next 8-12 hrs. I don't think anyone would be interested, but hey- why not offer?

Can we please stop talking about a geomagnetic reversal as if it is some sort of extinction level event. There have been at least 25 geomagnetic pole reversals since humans evolved 6 million years ago and we are still here. If it happens it may cause all sorts of technological challenges and perhaps some ecological ones, but it will not be anything close to an extinction level event.

There's something I don't understand...

I'd trust a German or Italian telling me how fucked up shit can be within a Fascist state. Even if someone didn't live during the times of Nazi Germany, or Fascist Italy, the horrid stories do pass from grandparents to parents to children. People in such countries have a better understanding of how a fascist state works than, for example, people from UK, that have only seen fascism from the outside.

So why don't people trust People from Eastern Europe that lived under communism for many decades, much closer to the present day than when Fascism existed? When we tell you that communism doesn't work, why won't you believe us, when we already went through this horrible experiment? Our collective memories of the crimes of communism are clearly much fresher than the collective memories of Nazi Germany.

So why this double standard in how serious you take the testimonies of fascist horrors, but deny the ones of communism, and accuse us of not remembering right, or being factually wrong somehow? It's been almost 80 years since Nazism ended. How do you know you're not misremembering how bad fascism is? How do you know the true beauty of fascism hasn't been muddied up by so much passage of time?

It's barely been 31 years since communism ended where I live. Don't you think we might know better?
