Ottomh, George Takei and Neil DGT have both lectured me on what a stain on American history the internment of Japanese Americans during ww2 is. Part of that included harassment of Japanese appearing businesses and people. The stain still remains to this day so I don’t say was. I think they were using it for antiTrump stuff but I took it as a general lesson.
And then bamm the whole world is in total war with Russia and your either with us or against us. Freedom fries were a deranged pro Iraq war conservative thing, no enlightened person would allow themselves to fall to such petty hate ho ho ho. People would laugh as a relic of the past stories about how my grand mother didn’t listen to German composers or buy Japanese goods and as she got older, buried anything precious to her in the backyard.
James Webb telescope say for example had/has lots of international assistance, who would want to throw those decades away to spit on Russia?
Regardless of justification, if you‘re pouring shots too big too often the bar will have to install automatic shot pourers and everyone suffers. Maybe it’s a relic of the past also but isn’t there an idealised heart at the core to open source? Hope for a better world built on trust and responsibility? We know there’s no one to sue but trust us and use libreoffice it’ll be fine.
Another anecdote: mercenaries in South Africa and Sudan on different sides drank at the same bars at night. I heard a story of a pilot on one side and a ships AA gunner on another sharing their stories with each other for many nights before they realised they’d spent days trying to kill each other. They didn’t go home afterwards either it just was what it was. Australia tells as legend how the Anzacs and Turks could play cricket over a ceasefire. After all there’s no reason we can’t be civil bites pretentious fruit
My Ukrainian, russian-language teacher has changed his online names to basically John Smith. Seems he feels a danger in being mistaken for russian.
