I’m absolutely not torn at all. People defected from the party all the time. They had a choice, and they chose to keep their homes and livelihoods in exchange for the deaths of 7 million people.

Why is her health a consideration? I mean, if it is her - it’s not a case of mistaken identity, and she actually worked in the camp - I just can’t fathom how her health or comfort could be meaningful to the process of determining her punishment for such heinous crimes.

April to July 1944, over 260,000 Jews.

The Double Windsor knot is an abomination that should never be worn by anyone under any circumstances. Its size and symmetry are power-hungry and boring, respectively.

Yes. The answer should always be yes. Put this woman on trial. It’s never too late for some form of justice.

Ummm except for the fact that 90 minutes is really 95 minutes yet you don’t know it until right at the 89:42 mark.

Being first doesn’t make something normal.

It’s the fact that each half is 45 minutes plus however much time the ref feels like adding, and even though he says how much he’s adding you still don’t know exactly when it’s going to end. Plus they just start counting from 45 in the second half even though there may have been extra time added in the first half.…

The biggest issue Americans have with it is that, unlike every other sport played here, instead of just stopping the clock when it needs to be stopped, they add it all up and put it on at the end. And even then, you can’t really be sure exactly when the game’s going to end.

In regards to the dino question, you’re forgetting one thing about modern technology: much of our energy stores are derived from petroleum or coal...which is just ground up old dinosaur and trees over long periods of time under intense pressure.

Well, “stoppage time” is pretty irregular (in terms of being unusual among sports, and in terms of not seeming that precise). Hey, one of the refs had a little stopwatch, and he’s authoritatively telling us we need to play for an extra seven minutes!

I think it has more to do with the seemingly arbitrary “extra time.”

Four-in-hand all day and all night. Windsors are for fucking mid-level bankers who want you to think they high-level bankers. You seriously think that big symmetrical lump of silk under his chin looks good?

I’m of the opinion that one should never wear a short sleeved dress shirt. Too much of a Mormons on the doorstep vibe. Just roll your sleeves and invest in summer weight pants (linen, seersucker). Also, don’t starch your shirts; they won’t breathe at all like that.

Yeah but please don’t do this

Disagree. A double windsor is an enormous knot that requires a long tie and a very spread collar to pull off. Merrill Hodge rocks a double windsor, for reference.

Have you tried buying extra long ties? Many places will sell specifically longer ties for that reason.

polite disagreement: sometimes a single tie is calling out to me from the closet, and I find something to work around. usually it’s the other way around though (the first step being: what is clean/ironed)

I don’t see why Winter would require knit or wool ties. I’ve never thought to myself, “You know, I wish my tie was warmer.”
