Oh wow. It looks like it has. That's very odd timing.

That's magnificent. I use Firefox Focus on mobile as my default and it automatically does this for major sites but this sounds great.

Oh that sounds like a great one. Thanks.

The issue with this is that knowledge should be it's own reward. Where I live college costs a pittance. If you want to study fine art, that course should be available and is.

What you're suggesting sounds great in a very practical respect but would only further benefit capitalism at the cost of wider knowledge. Many of the things that are worth learning in life to so many would immediately disappear from college curriculums.

The goal should be to make third level education cheap enough that anyone can do it without crippling themselves financially.

The honorific would've probably been "my Chancellor" if it had been about his political authority

In his case it was very much meant as dictator.

There was debate after Hindenburg died and he took his powers with the plebiscite (as well as chancellor) about what his title should be. He didn't want to harken back to Kaiser per the previous Reich so they went with Fuhrer.

It had been used within the party before that but came into common usage as his title at that time.

I'm in the thick of a 90 hour audiobook trilogy on the third Reich which is absolutely incredible (link) and Fuhrer is used liberally, partly to describe his ascent to absolute dictator as opposed to just Reich's Chancellor.

I'm not defending shitopedia for one second! I'm just not sure it's as outrageous as other shit that's taking up our limited attention span at the moment is all.

Yeah I fully agree with this. I am thick in the middle of "Third Reich Trilogy" which gives an enormous amount of context to the word though.

If they changed it, it's further evidence of scummy behaviour, but on its own it's not a huge red flag for me with historical context.

Can't recommend the books enough if you're into that. The lad must have spent half his life in primary sources.

Thanks so much. I thought that would be the case but I wondered around things like "team leader" or "band leader" or whatever.

My guess was that it was forever tainted so I appreciate the context.

I mean the whole stupid Grokipedia thing is a shit show that will never take off, but Fuhrer is just "leader" in German. In it's used context for Hitler it straight up means dictator and (iirc) only came into full on use after the plebiscite giving him full dictatorial power after Hindenburg's death in 1934 (edit: He was already the Reich's Chancellor and merged in Hindenburg's powers with the vote to make himself full dictator / Fuhrer).

I'd welcome input from a German national - Is the word still used there?

Ugh. I thought there was some new news. Thanks for the heads up.

I'd be interested to know! My guess is the results would be similar. The article does say:

Professor Pagnini adds, "Unlike traditional mindfulness interventions that require active engagement, this study highlights how situational interruptions alone may be sufficient to produce similar effects.

But also!!!

44% of those who offered their seats in the experimental condition reported not having seen Batman

which is interesting (how do you not notice Batman?! :D)
