On this day in 1943, the largest Jewish revolt during WWII began when Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto attacked Nazis attempting to deport them to death camps. Nazis razed the entire ghetto block by block, killing more than 7,000 and deporting 42,000.

The Warsaw Ghetto was the largest Jewish ghetto in German-occupied Europe, housing approximately 400,000 Jews in 1940. In 1942, Nazi police and military carried out mass deportations, in total around 265,000 Jews, from the Warsaw Ghetto to the Treblinka killing center. By early 1943, the Warsaw Ghetto's population was down to 70,000 - 80,000.

In 1942, it was abundantly clear to the residents of the Warsaw Ghetto that deportation was a death sentence. Two armed resistance groups were formed that year - the left-wing Jewish Combat Organization (Żydowska Organizacja Bojowa; ŻOB) and the Zionist Jewish Military Union (Żydowski Związek Wojskowy; ŻZW).

On April 19th, 1943, the eve of Passover, Nazis attempted another mass deportation. ŻOB had received advance notice, however, and 700 young Jewish fighters met the Nazi police with resistance.

The rebels lacked formal military training and were poorly equipped, but had the advantage of waging a guerilla war, retreating to the safety of ghetto buildings and tunnels after attacking. Non-armed residents also resisted by refusing to cooperate with police by refusing to assemble at collection points.

In response, the Nazi forces, armed with artillery and tanks, began razing the ghetto block by block. According to Benjamin Meed, a Jew hiding in the "Aryan" part of Warsaw at the time, the entire sky was red from the ghetto's destruction.

Resistance lasted for approximately a month. On May 8th, 1943, German forces succeeded in seizing ŻOB headquarters, and many of the group's commanders are thought to have committed suicide to avoid capture.

Approximately 7,000 Jews while fighting or hiding during the uprising. Police deported approximately 42,000 survivors who were captured during the revolt, most of whom were shot to death in the Nazi "Operation Harvest Festival" (Erntefest). Many Jews (one estimate suggests 20,000) evaded capture and continued to hide in the ruins of the Warsaw Ghetto.

Resisters knew that the uprising was likely doomed, but chose to fight anyway. Marek Edelman, the only surviving ŻOB commander, stated that the inspiration to fight back was "not to allow the Germans alone to pick the time and place of our deaths".

anyone know how the fuck to bitcoin without giving some shitty crypto service your gd bank password? (yes I know it's plaid or square that actually has it but I trust them about as much)

Once in a while I want to get something online that requires it, but nothing fuckin works anymore. paypal has it built in now, but their system has me flagged for something, whenever I try to do certain things like connect outside services or transfer crypto it just sends me into an infinite "verify with your phone number" loop followed by a "idk call support I guess" when that fails (doesn't even send me a text).

Coinbase only does "give me your bank account login" style bank transfers now, which is NOT happening, or adding $ from paypal, which triggers the same loop. Paypal let me buy the btc even but then held it hostage pending for a week and then wouldn't let me send it and I'm just at the end of my rope here.

Edit: I figured out a way to do it without crypto, so still curious but no longer as incensed

Does anyone here have experience with moode audio? I have it running on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ with a Pifi DAC hat. Technically everything is working fine. It boots every time, detects and plays through the DAC on the connected speakers, connects to the wifi, absolutely everything works properly.

But when I click a track within an album, all that happens is that I get a menu asking whether I want to play that track, add it to a playlist, etc. I've gone through the configuration options but I can't seem to find a way to have a single click start playing that track. Can this be done in moode, or is it a weird hardcoded quirk of the interface?

It's so fucking frustrating that there's always some dipshit racist out there who stirs shit and makes """immersive""" mods that remove the groups they are bigoted against (literally changing skin colors of black characters, removing queer community symbols) from games. Saw one for Dragon's Dogma 2 and reported it.

The Ukranian supporters must know how thinly veiled their antiRussianOrthodoxChurhism is.

venting kind of? also mental health sort of? just stuff about grief and my mom being goneI think im getting a little better and handling like that grief? when it decides to come by. I don't know. maybe not considering like yesterday or two I got very upset with my dad and his drinking. but like he's alive. meanwhile my mom not. and like I know almost everyone goes through this eventually, but still it just like. It hurts? at least for me, it hurts. and at least for me its kind of hard to deal with.

just I don't know. in some way I feel bad that like. I should be over this? it's been around a year more or less. but im not really over it. and it's not really easy to just "get over it". I don't think you can. Maybe over time. I don't know. I'm just like trying to calm myself and trying not to like cry. I already do that way too much. It also def. doesn't help things were very complicated with my mom and so it makes it a little harder? and she like died very fast. and along all that there other stressors to like with my dad.

just like at least this time, I was able to calm myself. even if it was like, really hard. Just I dunno. I didn't expect my mom death to like, upset me this much.

In Zoroastrian tradition, the lake is the keeper of Zoroaster's seed and just before the final renovation of the world, three maidens will enter the lake, each then giving birth to the saoshyans who will be the saviours of mankind at the final renovation of the world.

so if my material circumstances are supposed to be aligned with the labor aristocracy but I know I will never be genuinely happy under capitalism, what do I do? Die?

It is said that, just before the Sino-Soviet split, Nikita Khrushchev had a tense meeting with Zhou Enlai at which he told the latter that he now understood the problem. “I am the son of coal miners,” he said. “You are the descendant of feudal mandarins. We have nothing in common.” “Perhaps we do,” murmured his Chinese antagonist. “What?” blustered Khrushchev. “We are,” responded Zhou, “both traitors to our class.”
