vibrators were created by doctors who were (literally) tired of manually masturbating female clients

That word does not mean the thing you are trying to make it mean.
Pet peeve of mine, you're welcome.

It apparently bothers Duolingo more that I typo'd 'jemand' as 'iemand' than it does that I wrote 'isst' instead of 'ist'.

Yeah, sure, go ahead and say she's eating someone, but leave that filthy spelling mistake at the door. We believe in clarity of communication here.

[Dutchling]

Apparently it understands that Dutch is a lot more important than German.

Where do you think I got the typo from? I get languages confused all the time.

There was some kind of international music thing today. I saw this one girl I had previously been directly forbidden to speak to, who was dancing. And dancing well enough to think that she dances regularly. Didn't expect that from someone like her. Kinda pisses me off a bit more that I'm forbidden to speak to her . I'm still not on speaking terms with my supervisor for what she said during that conversation(that, and her general incompetence).

I also saw that the lying bitch responsible for that attitude towards me is being constantly shadowed by one of the security officers - the same one that handled her complaint against me and who I know is a personal friend of hers. I swear that's a conflict of interest if I ever saw one, and don't get me started on hypocrisy.

Which also reminds me that there were proponents of lobotomy in the US till nearly the end of the 20th century. In fact, some people believed lobotomies would become as common as dentist assignments. At one points, lobotomy was paraded around as a panacea against nearly anything mind related. Parents would get their adolescent children lobotomized for being rebellious.

And it was actually banned in the Soviet Union decades before it was banned here. So we weren't ahead of them everywhere in terms of human rights.

I'm pretty sure Russia didn't have black people back then (read: no idea, didn't even bother looking it up).

We talk some pretty good talk tho

[Tack]

I like to think the rule of thumb for that is 'If your indigenous population makes a massive fuss about the atrocities committed to them, that means they Survived'.

"You think you've got it bad man, you should hear the Aztecs bitch to the Spanish"

[Kadzar]

But black people weren't indigenous. We imported people to oppress.

And, yes, also we did terrible things to the indigenous population, too.

And the Japanese.
Awful lot of innocent blood on American hands, though it's similar anywhere.

[itisnotlogical]

Awful lot of innocent blood on any government's hands, if you go back to the right point in history. Pretending that any nation's history is a glorious golden arc of peace and prosperity is just propaganda.

Ehhhh japan kind of has tons of blood on its hands too, and it was pretty justified for the US to stomp imperial japan to end WW2, altough using ATOMIC BOMBS on two huge civilian sites was a huge dickmove.

But yea, japan was very NOT nice during WW2. It was really terrible with every single place it controlled and commited enormous genocidal acts against chinese people, specially in Nanking. And you also have to consider that japan still denies most of the bad stuff it did during the war, and even teaches its children like that.
