Le monde nazi: 1919-1945 | Johann Chapoutot, Christian Ingrao, Nicolas Patin

Halfway through this serious overview of nazism & terrified by the parallels that can be drawn between today & the 30s. On AH's bday, let's remember that he was a good public speaker, but a lazy, incompetent statesman w/ a short attention span who relied on a handful of high-ups + everyday Germans as part of an organic whole. They figured out what needed doing to reach the goals he had set out, then carried it out independently & zealously.

Kitta Just finished reading a book about Nazi occupied France and was thinking the same about the parallels. 2w
Dilara @Kitta It is uncanny, isn't it... 2w
IriDas They are literally going by the book. And the people in power who claim to oppose them are silent. 😠 2d
Dilara @IriDas Yes. The silence is deafening. 2d

Yesterday my son & I enjoyed another #makingmemories day in NYC.The cold,damp,& rain did not deter us! We took a 6:10 a.m. Amtrak train to the Metro North line which let us out at Grand Central Station.Breakfast for me was 2 mini bacon quiches & Starbucks coffee. Perfect start to my day! The MET exhibit was truly breathtaking. I love how the drawings, etchings, & oil paintings took us through Friedrich‘s artistic & spiritual life chronologically.

TheBookHippie Love love love !!!! 3w
Kitta The Met is one of my favourite things about living in NYC! 3w

This is likely my only major contribution to the point getting for #holidaybookdragons 😂. I wrote a Python script last year for a similar Scarathlon challenge and used it for the 2023 Winter Games challenge. The phrase this year is the same as last year's, but I reran the code to be sure. The code and words can be found here: https://github.com/wapisani/public-pyprojects/tree/main/Litsy/WinterGames_2023/W.... #wintergames2024

DieAReader 🤯❤️‍🔥☺️Absolutely Genius! Thank you so so much for sharing!! 5mo
StayCurious Sorry this isn‘t fair to everyone- the point of the game is to use your head to come up with words not a code or AI. I didn‘t realize someone did this last year or we wouldn‘t have allowed it. I‘ll make a post about this tomorrow 5mo
DieAReader @StayCurious 🥺So sry for all the trouble. 5mo

StayCurious @DieAReader no trouble at all! We just want people to have fun and make it fair. 😊 5mo
DieAReader @StayCurious 💖Absolutely! 5mo
Light_of_Aether @StayCurious I DID use my head to write the code. No AI was used to help me write it or run it. I'm a competent programmer in Python and I don't need the help of AI to write anything. I don't really care because it's a game, but how does it matter the specific way someone comes up with the words? I did use my head to write the code and the post did say "unlimited points". This kind of stance says that there is indeed a limit. 5mo
Light_of_Aether @StayCurious If you'd like me to remove this post and the associated points from my spreadsheet, I will. I didn't see any issue with my approach because I wrote the code myself (using my brain). 5mo
StayCurious Hello, thank you for your comments. I appreciate that what you did was a smart way to go about the game and I admit that it does go above my head when it comes to understanding how exactly it all works. However I think the issue is that the code was shared with the idea that anyone could use it, and also it goes against the original intent we had for the game. I absolutely do not want to upset anyone but I have to put some limitations to the game. 5mo
LiseWorks I totally agree with @StayCurious I really do not understand anything about coding or how it's done, but we need an equal playing field. Even if you said it's easy to learn, I'm an old fart who can barely use apps on my phone. So let's keep it simple 😊 5mo
Light_of_Aether @StayCurious My intent behind sharing the code and the list of words was not so that others could re-use my solution, but to show my work. No where in my post did I say others could use it. 5mo
