Why Do Stalin and Mao’s Atrocities Receive Less Attention Than Hitler’s?

hitler vs stalin and mao

Two things: specificity and deliberateness. When the Final Solution was put into action at the height of WWII, it was with a view to wiping out entire classes of people – Jews, gypsies, homosexuals, and the disabled, to name a few.

The Nazis undertook this work with a level of planning that was unprecedented in human history and has never been matched since. They made an earnest attempt to kill every single Jew in occupied Europe using all the techniques and technologies of the industrial age.

Picture of the Day

The Unabomber was a “criminal mastermind” who went to extraordinary lengths to erase any trace of physical evidence within his explosives. He ripped the skins off batteries to make them untraceable. He also avoided commercial glue and instead made his own epoxy by melting down deer hooves

After the Unabomber demanded in 1995 that his manifesto, Industrial Society and Its Future, be published in a major newspaper as a condition for ceasing his mail-bomb campaign, The New York Times and The Washington Post published the manifesto, hoping somebody would recognize the writing style of the author.

Why Do Pro Baseball Players Require So Much More Minor League Time Compared To Other Major Sports?

minor league baseball

Well one thing is the way the game is played. With football, it is such a physical sport that you dont have time really develop guys because of the beatings those guys take week in and week out. Running backs typically fall apart when they hit the 30 year old mark. The only positions where you can be successful for a long time are qbs and kickers because they do not typically take a beating. College is basically the minors for football. You dont have the body or time to go from college to the minors to develop because one hit in football and your career is done. With baseball you can see guys playing well into their 40’s so they have time to develop their game before going pro.

German City Installs Sleep Pods for People Experiencing Homelessness

The city of Ulm launched a creative program to help the homeless find emergency shelter at night and 6 entrepreneurs and technical experts rose to the challenge. They created a series of sleeping capsules, or ‘nests,’ that are perfect for those who are very reluctant to go to traditional shelters. The capsules allow the homeless to get some sleep, as well as to stay warm in winter when it’s incredibly dangerous to be outside. The pods can fit up to two people and can also be locked, ensuring full safety.

The Daily Man-Up

(photo: @michelstock)

As a self-loathing, chronic procrastinator I’ve often ridden the self improvement train. You know, the “I just watched 5 motivational videos of The Rock saying you can do anything you set your mind to, and today I’m going to change my entire life, omg yes” train. Of course, that effort never quite ends the way we’d envision it; with the new lifestyle lasting all of a week before we’re back to old habits.
