The only thing that carried me through rough times was a hobby where I regularly meet a group of people for sports. Then you live so you can go there again the next week.

Unrelated but does Eternity correctly support Links now? (to comments / threads)

This drove me to Jerboa, but I prefer Eternity’s UI so I’d be pleased to go back if that’s fixed.

At least in Austria the first e in Mercedes is much closer to e than to ä.

On the other hand many actual ä are also much closer to e than to ä in Austria so ig it might be different in Germany.

But then there’s also the seven heads (seven trump headquarters), getting shot in the head thinking it’s fatal but surviving seemingly through a miracle, the ones about his relations to the kingdom to the south, resulting in criticism from the north and east etc

Of course it’s coincidence (at some point there just has to be someone who can be accurately described with these prophecies) but it’s still very interesting

I don’t believe in the coming of an antichrist but damn, why do so many prophecies written two millennia ago point to one specific person, especially when those prophecies are so specific

I like to read the biblical texts as texts you have to interpret. Basically like fairytales and fables are in versions that aren’t from the brothers Grimm and especially Disney - they often were used to carry points that wouldn’t have been tolerated by authority if they hadn’t been covered like that, or simply to tell about some aspects of life.

When reading it like this the Bible is an extremely interesting book, and I’m saying that as an atheist.

I’m using Firefox as my only browser. If everything works in Firefox that’s fine for me.

That’s the best advantage of only making websites / web applications for fun (for friend groups, video games, family etc)

Elder blossom syrup?

Economically I’m leaning right - I want the state to provide free healthcare, schools, universities etc but founding a company has to be easier, we can’t afford to keep pouring 1/3 of our yearly budget into pensions on top of the budget for pensions etc.

Socially I’m leaning left - I don’t care at all if someone is trans, homosexual, whatever, and want men and women to have equal rights.

So I am neither left or right. And there also is a party that aligns with most of my beliefs (and is against some others but there never is a perfect party).

The issue is that internet politics are often viewed from a USA-centric standpoint. When I say I’m neither left nor right (because it depends on the topic, as explained above) I see memes like that come up. Although my economically right views for my country would be far left from an US-american standpoint anyway.

Wouldn’t e halfway to a be ä

The short e in Mercedes is much closer to e than to ä

The difference is so narrow that I wouldn’t notice any difference apart from the length, the first and last e are very slightly shorter than the middle e. And of course you have the usual going-down-with-your-voice-at-the-end-of-the-word

indirectly

Say there are 9 voters. Four vote for Trump. Five heavily disagree with Trump (more than Trump’s four supporters). Three of them vote for Harris, two refuse to vote. Then these two people helped Trump since he’s winning now.

It works exactly the same on a much larger scale.

Karl Habsburg currently would be the emperor. But obviously he simply has the same rights as any other citizen (doesn’t even have a “von” anymore), as it should be, so he isn’t politically relevant

Not voting indirectly also is a vote for Trump.

Cars should not be street legal. If I can get a ticket for not wearing my helmet, why do cars get a pass?

communist nations have been defeated by capitalist hegemony multiple times throughout history, mainly during the Cold War

You are aware of the many attempts in different countries to leave the USSR, right?

All of them were violently shut down, that’s why the system was able to keep going, but without violence against their own population the USSR would’ve collapsed much earlier.

What are they expecting out of not voting? Do they not care if Trump or Harris win? I just really don’t get why you wouldn’t vote here.

There also were enough people who didn’t vote for or against the NSDAP because they also disagreed with the other parties… It’s not about voting for a party you agree with, it’s about voting for the party with which you agree more / disagree less than with the other parties.
