This isn't a shower thought. It's just a personal opinion.

I wasn't really sure what you were talking about, so I looked them both up, and I think there's a really good chance your optician gave you Nazi-tinted lenses by mistake.

Shit ton of Nazi talk in the U.S. these days.

Are these nazis in the room with us right now?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Very possibly. I'm sitting in a waiting room to get an oil change.

Actual cannibal nazis.

In general, judging someone for their religious beliefs and practices is a bad look.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

Good thing no religions do so.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Why is that a bad or worse look than whatever it's supposed to symbolize?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I see it as blatantly announcing their implicit support for a child molestation ring.

How so?

E: oh right I get it now. I was thinking of the symbol of the German army, not the cross

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

When the German army looks more wholesome... 😬

Maybe that's why the Bible reading for Ash Wednesday services has Jesus telling people to put oil on their heads and wash their faces so that their fasting may be seen not by others.

The German Airforce is probably wondering why you're worked up as the iron cross is the roundel marking on their aircraft. The symbol is associated with Prussian militarism and far predates any Nazi associations in the German Military.

Do you see all cross as Iron Cross?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (2 children)

No. Many of these marks are fat, dark crosses that are very similar to the Iron Cross.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Did they also specifically draw the edge of the cross this way?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

They don't its just a black cross, sometimes it's just a dot if the priest has fat fingers or is rushing through a busy service

Meh, I associate that mostly as red, from the fire service.
