It's divided into the Soviet Republics I believe.

There's also Eastern Germany so the map cannot be from any later than 1990.

Rough tiled surfaces are noisy though. It would be pretty annoying if you live next to such a road if there is more than a homeopathic amount of car traffic.

That's not to say having a 4-lane highway in front of your door would be any better. Just that rough tiling isn't ideal for noise (even when adjusted to the lowered speed).

They also have decent records of relevant political figures which are in no doubt in the hands of the US.

Seriously, the nazis were able to compile lists of political enemies (suspected to be) in Brtiain 85 years ago.

It's not a stretch to suggest the US knows exactly who is relevant to keeping the regime alive, whom to imprison and whom to kill.

Collapsing a nation is far easier than establishing a new one after all.

That's cool. But come on, the headline should have been the obvious "Shining a light on dark matter"!

In Germany it's Jesus-Did-Something-Again-Day (at least here in the South. The North has significantly fewer public holidays because they aren't aware of all those amazing, holiday-worthy things Jesus did around the year).

To be more precise, it's Feast of the Ascension of Jesus Christ - or in German, Christ's Heaven Trip (Christi Himmelfahrt).

which can also be gotten literally anywhere other than work

Can it? For absolutely everyone, regardless of (mental) health? No one benefits from being monetarily pressured to interact with people even if the interaction is only surface level?

Nah, the Polish resistance was slaughtered by the Soviets anyways:

Most soldiers of the Home Army (including those who took part in the Warsaw Uprising) were persecuted after the war; captured by the NKVD or UB political police. They were interrogated and imprisoned on various charges, such as that of fascism.[226][227] Many of them were sent to Gulags, executed or disappeared.

Wikipedia

Poland remained occupied for 45 years after WW2 and was forcibly "shifted" to the West causing millions of Polish people to be deported from their homes in the East.

The best decision any Pole could have made for themselves, their family and even their country was to flee. You won't do anything for Poland if you die as a slave in Siberia.

Not if it's later shown that your set of axioms lead to a contradiction.

In that case have fun re-proofing everything with new axioms.

Sadly a mobile game so it's not really worth your time as it has in app purchases.

But what could be worth your time is Devotion, a Taiwanese horror game which is not available on any store front (but their own) after an easter egg criticial of Xi Jinping was found.

Just like it's spelled if you omit the "ch" because English people are unable to fathom unusual digraphs.

That's only partially true.

For starters, nearly everything German soldiers did was legal under German law.

Side tangent: GDR soldiers who killed civilians trying to flee the country could easily be prosecuted after reunification because this was explicitly illegal under GDR law.

It's harder to prosecute "legal" crimes. It requires establishing there are "natural laws" which stand above any law humans put in place. For instance, slaughtering civilians is one such violation of "natural law". It's more complex but that's the rough summary.

Besides, most German soldiers simply became prisoners of war and faced little to no legal consequences. The Nuremberg trials were mostly for those who gave the illegal order - no one has time for millions of legal cases.

I have little to no clue about US law but as far as I can tell, executive orders are legal until deemed illegal by a court. The order would therefore have to violate "natural law" - not the constitution - or be so obviously illegal beyond any reasonable doubt to allow for prosecution of those who follow it. Both of those are a very high bar to clear.

Your consciousness ceases to exist every time you go to sleep though. Your brain changes significantly during sleep - memories are solidified, motor skills will be hardened etc. The new consciousness is clearly different from the old one. Why is teleportation so different?
