I am happy to have participated in that connection.

Yeah the disease thing is weird and wild.

It’s interesting which diseases are ok to swear with and not.

Typhoid and cancer are ok, but cerebral palsy or aids aren’t.

It’s silly putting the onus on the consumers, regulate the catch

There’s enough shit that would cling to him if only somebody would hold him accountable.

But he can unilaterally attack Greenland, which would de facto extract the us from NATO.

The old ladder pull is one of the most vile mechanisms

That looks rad…

… Ish

If you want to tie your shoes, Ian’s shoelace website.

Way too much in depth on a niche topic, but that’s why it’s so awesome

An incredibly unheard of but if history is the reign of Akenaten. We all know his son, Tutanchamun, or, how he was originally called Tutanchaten.

You see the change in the name? That was the schism that Akenaten tried to enforce. He changed the religion from Amun-centric to Aten-centric. Atenism was basically referring just the sun as God.

Akenaten tried to change the bloated religious and burocratic society that had arisen from priesthood being hereditary. There was an abundance of priests that provided little towards society.

He tried to change the religious sphere by moving the capital, changing the religion to pure sun worship.

After his death, though, Egyptians quickly moved back to their polytheistic ways and destroyed as much as they could of Akenatens legacy. His sun was renamed in Amuns honor and died quite young, spurring on conspiracy theories.

I don’t really know how to bend this on topic. But the change to sun worship made me think of this. Only that the Egyptians only really shortly worshipped only the sun.

The way I play I allow myself one we search per round. I usually don’t use AI, but this one had two photos that has languages I could not read. I used translate for the Uzbek one, and tried doing the same with the Chengdu one, but Lens managed to spoil that, giving the location in the AI breakdown.

Madeira really got me, though.

In Rutte speak that is worrying. We know already he’ll say anything to keep Trump in. To say that the conversation was very frank is saying that Trump was frank and he couldn’t sweet talk him out of the crazy.

The fact she handled it underscores my point.

Clammy handshakes and avoiding difficult topics.

It’s a very smart answer to flatter your hosts’ culinary speciality.

I read this interview with the chef of the French Presidents’ residence once.

In that he told about the first visit from German Chancellor Angela Merkel. After the dinner she asked for the chef to come up, complimented him and asked Chirac if he could spare his chef for a masterclass to the German chefs in residence.

I then knew what a brilliant diplomat Merkel was.

Or the Americans and their tiny violin.

The infrastructure was there two thousand years before we’re not destroying that for a monster truck based wasteland.

Klootviool (bullock violin)

Teringlijer ( sufferer of typhoid)

Zakkenwasser (scrotum cleaner)

Every accusation is an admission

A Dutch analyst put it this way: Trump negotiated backwards. He spent billions of dollars to obtain a worse deal than there was before he took office.

Nice. I have now tagged you as sackshaver
