Company survival:
The company itself was not shut down or heavily sanctioned. After Hugo Boss’s death in 1948, the business pivoted away from uniform production and moved into civilian fashion, eventually becoming the high-end menswear brand we know today.

After WWII, during the denazification process, Hugo Boss was classified initially as an "activist, supporter and beneficiary" of the Nazi regime. He was fined and temporarily lost his right to vote. His business continued, but he personally faced mild penalties compared to others.

Hugo Boss(founder of the company)was a member of the Nazi Party from 1931. His company manufactured uniforms for the SS, SA, Hitler Youth, and Wehrmacht during the Nazi regime. The firm profited substantially from these contracts and used forced labour, including prisoners of war and camp detainees.

I want to build something stronger. And I’m starting to feel glimpses of who I was before all this broke. To anyone else stuck at “why wasn’t I enough?” - you were. You are. Sometimes people just don’t have the capacity to love us through our dark parts. That’s not your failure. That’s their limit.

'inaccurately designed to deliver enough heat at those lower temperatures' like your house not being well insulated?
comment in response to
post
Gas boilers produce high-temperature heat (60–80°C), which can quickly warm up spaces regardless of insulation quality, heat pumps are most efficient at low temperatures (30–50°C) and struggle to maintain comfort in draughty or poorly insulated environments.

normally the EU/Ireland has the edge, but Trump’s move flips the dynamic, giving Northern Ireland a short-lived “advantage” in trade with the US.

A bad script is a bad script IMO, that's why it failed because it wasn't at the core trek. My personal 'hatred' is towards the studios that ignore it's existing base for 'new subscribers'

Who? Rob? Pretty sure he defended fans varied opinions and mentioned that the flaws are evident in its writing and production, not the acting.

Sorry I couldn't find a suitable meme to help explain it simply for you though

Sometimes, using this phrase can be a defensive maneuver to preemptively shield oneself from criticism, which might seem like an unwillingness to engage with differing viewpoints.

When someone decides not to engage with content based on preconceived notions, it can be perceived as prejudgment. This means forming an opinion without direct experience, which might come off as unfair or closed-minded to others who feel it's important to give everything a fair chance.

it's fine to skip content based on personal preference or past experiences with similar media, but why comment on this when it reflect a decision not to give that particular content a chance.

using the phrase "haters gonna hate" to describe your decision to skip watching something, typically means you are choosing not to engage with it based on preconceived notions or the potential for negativity it might attract, rather than forming an opinion based on direct experience.

The video (if you'd watched it before judging its content) was about why it ultimately has failed for ST fans and Rob's thoughts on Trek and the fans whole. It left me feeling positive, and that a lot of the hate is just blind and ignorant hate. which led me to conclude your comment is just that.

Not really, I watched the video to find out it's context and point. I didn't just comment that it's probably just about 'haters being hateful'.
comment in response to
post
You can't really call out a video based on your opinion if you didn't watch it. I believed its 'hating' on something without even knowing why you don't like it

"You 'improvised' your way through an entire cheesecake as well as three servings of Ktarian chocolate puffs!" Love this episode!

Your comment is a hater hating on something they haven't seen.

Kudos to Robert Kazinsky tbf; when I learnt he was a fan, I didn't understand why he took the role, but listening to him explain his reasoning and the budgeting and constraints of the film, I can understand what was produced a bit better!

What do they define as 'strong'. I'd rather someone be just, honest and fair myself. Not sure a politician can be all of these today, though 🤔

You can basically watch the first 40 mins to get the entire plot... the whole film isn't necessarily needed 😄
