Imagine watching "Judgement at Nuremberg", a moving film about the Nazi war crime trials. Imagine it was rewritten so that the judges are presented as conflicted and incompetent, the case presented that Goring, Speer , Ribbentrop and other architects of the war could not be tried because there was no laws against it at the time. Also that the Allies were really responsible because they were imperial powers and anyway, they knew Germany was going to attack and could have stopped them. And did you hear about Dresden? The Allies bombed a city. So it was ALL the Allies responsibility and choice. Not Germany's fault at all. Then you read the credits and the movie was made by Nazis.

Kind of like all the shit Russia is saying now to justify attacking Ukraine and committing genocide.

Kind of like the shit every single one of these genocidaire presidents say at the War Crimes Tribunal in The Hague. "You have no right to try me, I do not recognise you. You are the criminals, not me. Also, not guilty. "

That's what watching "Tokyo Trial " on Netflix is like. Imagine my shock when I read the credits and the series was partly made by the Japanese government. ( no shock at all, just a little that they have the gall to say it out loud when they have been told a hundred times ) Shame on them.

If it were in my purview I would make formal diplomatic complaints.

Don't watch Tokyo Trial, it's the worst propaganda.

here's some clips from Judgement at Nuremberg

here's the scenes from Judgement at Nuremberg. Taken verbatim from real life court transcripts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbqDuUjm4aU&ab_channel=Movieclips

Day 18 of exercise program and day 3 of 10 day tummy challenge completed. I'm already feeling like I can walk a little straighter! Which is great because I'm a real sloucher.

Good work😊. I'm on a rest day from the weights today, but will have lots of walking.

Finding time for driving lessons has been proving really hard but I’m going insane being stuck at home with the baby all day. I think I need to brave figuring out the bus with pram etc because then at least I could get to the shopping centre or train station but I’m scared :-(

In other news, just had a young guy in hi vis gear knocking on the door doing the 'we're doing some painting for your neighbours, noticed you needed some work done, would you like a quote' spiel.
Suuuuure, mate.

Years ago, we had some young dudes going around saying they're from the council (they weren't) and that we have to pay them $40 to paint our house number on the curb. They got upset when we said no and told us we'd get a fine from the council. They got even more upset when I said, let me ring the local council to verify that this actually a thing.

I just won Metro lotto - arrived at the station as the train was pulling up, and got a forward facing window seat.

[–] heyheyitskay@aussie.zone 5 points 2 years ago

Okay. I've talked through the key issues bothering me and there's a bit more clarity. I've jotted down my thoughts and a bit of a plan on a page and I feel slightly calmer. I'm not sure what's next but at least that's something.

How do you feel about posts like this on c/Melbourne?

I'm noticing it's getting downvoted, it might be a bit too on the negative side of topics for the community, I'm also worried about removing it because of the topic as well, would like to hear some input.

[–] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 5 points 2 years ago

Leave it up. Then it's the reader/listener's choice. Maybe a nsfw warning.

My body battery says 77 today. It might have had something to do with the 11 hours of sleep I had. Ready for the day.

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I feel like my body battery is at 5 today no matter how much coffee I drink.

I enjoy watching The Witcher but my god Jaskier is so annoying.
