@whitequark Do not ask such questions. It more important that you know that a Conservative government was in power during the great Number Go Up period of 70 years ago.

@whitequark Reminds me of one particular moment watching the Space Battleship Yamato live-action... If I had been drinking anything when they said it, my screen would probably have been covered in it. "On April 7th 1945, the Yamato set out to bring a ray of hope at a time of utter despair" (I may have substituted a few words by accident, but the phrasing is largely accurate)

For context, that date is "Operation Ten-Go", aka "The Yamato attempts to fling itself at the Americans invading Okinawa, beaching itself, and to keep firing until it physically can't." It didn't even make it to Okinawa before it got blown to shrapnel by the US. (And it's quite disturbing just how pointless the whole thing was, all because the top brass couldn't get their heads out of their "honor-bound to do something" asses...)

@whitequark i wonder if anything embarrassing happened in the falklands

[jsbarretto@social.coop]

@whitequark I get the feeling that the author thinks that Turing machines are, like, a real physical thing?

[whitequark@social.treehouse.systems]

@airtower ofc no

[jsbarretto@social.coop]

@whitequark Also supersonic flight was first achieved by an American aircraft...

@whitequark@social.treehouse.systems i was aware immigration involves a lot of bullshit gatekeeping everywhere, but i wasnt expecting it to also involve this kind of brainwashing

[whitequark@social.treehouse.systems]

@kouhai i thought it was embarrassing for argentina?

@whitequark "Shipbuilding and coal mining declined"

Exactly *how* did that decline happen?

@whitequark What do I know about the life of Roald Dahl? More than I'd like to, thank you very much.

@whitequark That he's a terrible antisemite, mostly.
