If you are into fantasy, then I need to recommend you the books of Brandon Sanderson, especially the Stormlight Archive series. It’s so epic, nothing else comes close

My GF uses Flo. Can you elaborate why it is spyware? Who is spying? What data are being collected?

Edit: nvm, I was too stupid to see the hidden drop down text

Not a single day without a scandal

Yeah, I kind of agree with you. Bad example from my side.

Yeah, people just need to close their eyes and believe that energy crystals is all we need.

Thanks, thats actually a sensible point of view. Calms me down a bit :)

I secretly love you dutchies for your small cities, streets and parking lots. It’s not only cute, but an active fight against US american super-sizing.

Its all good, folks. German politician Beatrix Von Storch (AfD) assured that it’s all just bc the sun sometimes moves closer to the earth, so it gets hotter. In some years, sun will surely move back, right?

Right?

First of all: great thing that you found something that you can be passionate about. Thats worth a lot.

On topic: I am not a native english speaker, so when reading english literature, I prefer sentences that are grammatically and syntactically somewhat well-structured. It becomes much easier for me to read when authors do not rely too heavily on context, but instead ensure that each sentence contains a clear subject, verb, and the necessary objects. Thats the main thing bothering me in your texts The downside is that this can make the writing sound somewhat formal or scientific, which might not be to your liking. So maybe don’t listen to me at all :D

Also, I know many people on here dont like AI, but text handling is exactly what it was made for. With the right prompts, you could analyse your work and look for low-quality-sentences and manually overthink them. Just as an idea.

So your takeaway from a woman murdering her children is that monogamy is the problem? Hol’up

If one person becomes possessive in a relationship, then by your standard:

Every employment is slavery because some bosses are abusive.

Every democracy is a tyranny because some politicians are corrupt.

Any parenting whatsoever is ownership because some parents are controlling.

Every friendship is coercion because some friends are manipulative.

Human designed systems can be abused. That does not mean the systems only exist to abuse people.

Likewise, the concept of marriage may be a legal framework for shared property, inheritance, medical stuff, etc, but it exists because people frequently fall in love with each other and lust for options to make their love somewhat official. And maybe humans discovered that stable cooperative units somehow reduce chaos, or so.

Also, why calling marriage ‘legal enslavement’ while simultaneously saying ‘family is family’? So many contradictions. That is like seeing famine and concluding agriculture was the mistake.

You’re not critiquing monogamy here, but stapling unrelated ideological grievances onto a murder case. It is misery we should be outraged by, not merely the behavior of the miserable.

Thats a measure to intimidate the masses. The US not attacking the NL gov, but it’s civil servants. Everyday normal people like you and me. Yep, thats fucked up.

Veto rights only ever make sense if your group consists of 2-8 people. The larger the group, the more dangerous do veto rights become.

Spain is slowly evolving into europes Giga Chad. Keep this spirit up!

I can recommend HereWeGo as an alternative to Maps. I switched two years ago and I am quite happy with it ever since.

Bribery?

I dont know If you can LARP it, but the Stormlight Archive is a pretty cool fandom. Highly recommend

1. It’s a politico article. The same company that ownes the German Axel Springer and Welt, and some other European right-wing media outlets. They have an agenda of polarizing people, directly contributing to the rise of new alt-right/nazi parties like the AfD in Germany. AfD is now leading in all polls, and I’d say thats partly the fault of media outlets like politico. Keep that in mind. Dont click, dont share. Always fact-check.

2. I doubt the Iran war will be over anytime soon. The cost of war for Iran to block the strait is ridiculously low. The cost for the invading US was, is, and will stay very high. I am convinced that the strait wont open ever again without Iran installing some kind of profit-maschine there. So the US either accepts strategic defeat and shows the world, that their military power is only a husk of what it once was, or it will continue depleting it’s stockpiles. Either way, I don’t see an invasion of Cuba coming. However, the blockade itself is an act of aggression and needs to end asap.

I am usually very much pro-EU, since I think it is the best project that ever evolved on this continent. But in some cases, I am deeply ashamed of my European supergovernment. This is one of them.

Can someone with more knowledge tell me If there is some hidden strategy?

How is this even possible? How can an autocratic admin simply except itself from justice? What happened to checks/balances? What happened to “We the people”?

The demand for greater security always poses a threat to personal freedom. It is therefore only natural that those who wish to curtail this freedom in order to gain control over society do so by stoking fear and uncertainty regarding terrorism, migration, Islam, and so on.

Off topic: After 9/11, investigators recovered 19 personal IDs from the ruins, all belonging to Arab individuals. All these IDs “somehow” survived the impact, the fires intense enough to weaken the steel beams, the collapse itself, and the chaos that followed at ground zero. The tragedy was then used to generate the level of public fear necessary to justify greatly expanding state control. It’s a fight against their own people.
