BilboBargains@lemmy.worldto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL the CIA secretly drugged hospital patients, prisoners, and soldiers with LSD as part of MKUltraEnglish3·14 days agoThe Americans found an unfinished Nazi research project on LSD and took the obvious next step, added it to the list of crimes against humanity. No, wait, that’s not what happened.
The history of LSD is tragic, given what we now know about its therapeutic properties. Tripped by Norman Ohler is an interesting text on the subject.

It’s almost as if this is a computer architecture designed for idiots who don’t know or care what a file is or for what purposes their data is being harvested. Everywhere I hear people falling over themselves to declare that the tablet smartphone was apple’s golden gift to the world. Try to do any serious work on one, it’s fucking annoying.
Whenever we make technology accessible to stupid people it becomes irritating to use and a privacy nightmare.

Playing with children can be pretty exhausting. My daughter loved her Lego pirate ship set and had me narrating the lives of ten swashbuckling sailors on the high seas every day. I needed to be on top form or she would catch my day to day continuity errors 😅

BilboBargains@lemmy.worldto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL over 500'000 German prisoners of war died in forced labour camps, after the German surrender, while detained in the Soviet Union. With the latest survivors only being released a decade later.English213·10 months agoWehrmacht was not a Nazi organisation. Members were free to join the party but they were not under any obligation. The SS was an explicitly Nazi army but completely separate from the Wehrmacht.
German people were compelled to ‘support the troops’ in the same way that Americans are compelled to support their many illegal invasions of sovereign territory. The British continue to build and operate colonial era warships. The main difference is they were on the winning side, lmao, etc.
BilboBargains@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.ml•ACLU suspects warrantless surveillance in neo-Nazi’s prosecution11·1 year agoThe silk road wasn’t taken down by an acronym. It was a bunch of hypocritical bigots called the American bureaucracy. They talk a lot about freedom but when they see something that promotes freedom like Wikileaks, south American socialism or the silk road, they seek to shut it down, often violently.
The people who believe that war criminals such as George Bush and Dick Cheney should be walking free and people like Julian Assange and Ross Ulbricht should be locked up, these people are our enemy.
BilboBargains@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.ml•ACLU suspects warrantless surveillance in neo-Nazi’s prosecution127·1 year agoWhy didn’t the ACLU defend Ross Ulbricht? What about all the whistleblowers that have been imprisoned lately? Seems like there are better candidates than this guy.
