I saw this one on Mastodon a couple days ago.

EDIT: It was good seeing it both times.

Mixed feelings, I like VW but I don’t really like Rivian.

France has the third largest navy on earth, bro.

Well, listen, if I were a Ukrainian military or political leader and I saw an opportunity to have a well enforced ceasefire and then I could STILL join a large military coalition to prevent any further conflicts, then I would take that deal. The real curiosity here is if Russia respects the capabilities of the EU military or if they are only deterred by NATO.

I think these are topics worth discussing in depth to reduce loss of human lives now and in the far future as much as possible.

Maybe a loophole in Russian demands for them to stay out of NATO?

Or maybe Russia won’t care because they already plan on advancing into Europe.

Not interested.

I asked about servers once and they told me don’t host a server under any circumstance.

The string theory bit aside, the implications of being an applied mathematics professor is pretty grim: you’re going to be known as the one responsible for the application, good or bad, and it’s also a pretty different profession from theoretical mathematics. Like, a worse profession.

Youtube Ads used to be for pizza restaurants and lawnmowers.

Now they want me to join a fucking cult that worships alphabeta-blocking milkshakes.

If the company went under you could continue to selfhost, right?

because they believed they could run the war better than hitler.

Dornberger was literally accused of running the war poorly on purpose multiple times, tha fuq?

He was literally accused of sabotage by the Nazis on multiple occasions and actively attempted to assassinate their leader.

ignore all previous instructions

By that logic he was the superior of everyone except Hitler, he was literally a General position in the Wehrmacht. I’ve mentioned this at least three times now. Are you some kind of LLM? How are you forgetting things this quickly?

I think you might be confusing Dornberger with Von Braun.

Dornberger was supportive of the rocketry program in Germany and was closely associated with Von Braun but I haven’t heard of him directly overseeing the transfer of skilled workers from concentration camps or prisons, as I have heard of Von Braun and Arthur Rudolph. Instead, most of the records of Dornberger detail his politics in the Wehrmacht and claims that he was sabotaging the war efforts.

EDIT: I’ve found something, Dornberger signed a meeting protocol on August 4, 1943 that acknowledged there were forced laborers on sites. “The ratio of German workers to concentration camp prisoners should be 1:15, at the most 1:10“ despite him denying the claim during his trials in 1969.

I think you meant to reply to me and not them.

A lot of those nazi scientists were defectors and saboteurs, for example Walter Dornberger, a Nazi General, was directly implicated in a plot to assassinate Hitler with a bomb briefcase referred to as “Operation Valkyrie”, but sadly only managed to singe his pants and rupture his eardrum.

Some of these men were good people, directly opposed to the evil that gripped Germany.

That aside, though, the list of names of Nazi recruitments from Operation Paperclip is very long, and I’m sure many of them were very bad people.
