English doesn't apply to most European countries, so 🤷♀️
And yeah, they should be there, but parts of France, maybe Italy, definitely Germany and Luxembourg and so on will be attached to it and the shapes unfamiliar.
It still blows my mind they had to ask people who privately taped episodes because they didn't archive them all.
I mean, I get it, data storage today is incredibly cheap, it still feels weird.
I assume it's county, not country.
I also assume that North is up and that the island in the middle is the Vatican.
Switzerland Austria Hungary should be in the middle.
and as always, preorders have a disproportionate impact in the publishing world, because they provide a spike of sales right at release, which tells the publisher to promote a book and the author, so it's always worth preordering books you care about.
Yeah, I hate it when people can't think past their nose...
I still think God gave us a hot fusion reactor at a safe distance and we should keep finding ways to use it.
Including low tech things like black paint.
That would be interesting, yes. There's been lots of debate of course and details and things that can be argued for, but the general consensus that's being taught in universities hasn't changed much in the last decades (at least five I'd say) 🤷♀️
Actually you can leave the miracles in, and it's not that exceptional. There are lots of similar stories about miracle workers as well.
Yes, even the ascension and being son of God.
Sometimes the most interesting aspects of the story are highlighted only in contrast to those other similar stories.
The youngest book in the nt was written about 90-110 ce, so ~70 years after.
The oldest books are dated starting around 45 ce, so starting after a decade.
The oldest biographies are dated around 70 ce, so 40 years after.
Still a lot for modern standards. Not so much for oral culture.
There's now and there's some point in the future that will not be pinned down...
Never forget:
There's also the verb knechten describing submitting someone to oneself or forcing someone to work very hard.
I stop now.
And I wonder why I didn't notice this once I realised that fighting was the same as Fechten (which is fencing and nothing else, at least today)
That might very well also be true.
The most vivid image I have of a Knecht is Alfred on the farm of Michel's parents by Astrid Lindgren, so a farm hand maybe?
Knight by the way translates to Ritter in German, an armed, tinned nobleman, basically.
Knecht though is a servant or even a slave in general.
Which suits Magd/maid which is the female counterpart (and it's how Luther translated the Hebrew word for slave).
From what I hear and saw, German twitter has the exact same problems about people dealing with a lot more right wing content than they want or is in any way representative.
In Germany this is where I say "bedingungsloses Grundeinkommen!" not even sure how that would be phrased in English 🤔
It's about everyone receiving enough money to live a reasonable life and the anthropology that people would be doing things that benefit society so that it's affordable.
Ich hatte ja einiges von Ihnen gehört und gelesen bis mir bewusst wurde, dass Sie zur FDP gehören. Das war ein 🤯-Moment im schlechtesten Sinne.
Ja, wir brauchen den liberalen Ansatz! Grade, wenn wir stabil gehen Faschismus bleiben wollen. Ihnen trau ich das zu. Die FDP will andere Dinge.
Es wurde immer kleiner, ja 😬
Aber zumindest bei uns ist jetzt alles ausgezählt, gefühlt sollte sich das jetzt nicht mehr viel bewegen.
Grade ist mir das alles noch zu eng... Die Nachbarn haben meine erste Freude sicher gehört, aber grade hoffe ich sehr, dass es nicht bei den fünf Minuten bleibt 🥶
Könnten wir ihn bitte von Schülerinnen fernhalten 😬
Heute erst wieder das Gespräch dazu gehabt, wie wenig Bewusstsein dafür teilweise da ist, selbst an Orten, wo Menschen völlig schockiert wären, wenn man ihnen sagt, dass sie damit halt doch was anderes als offen und gleichberechtigt wirken...
Thank you! At an event last night I said "If the word hope doesn't work for you try, 'Never fucking surrender.'" The word hope seems too sunny to a lot of people, but the heart of it as I'm interested in it is: we make the future in the present, if we show up, and that never surrender part.
You cannot love your enemies by killing them.
Prince of Peace, raise up women and men who will wage peace, and not war. Give us courage to join them.
Tbf, the replenishing of audience there is not quite as it was either 🥶
Get well soon!
Logo macht da übrigens gute Arbeit und zeigt auch immer wieder den Globus für schöne Dinge. Zum Beispiel ein Ballettprogramm in Kenia.
(was den Frust über die Weltpolitik natürlich nicht so richtig auflöst... )
Natürlich meistens inklusive "hier einfache erste Schritte und die sind sowieso auch sonst für Demokratie gut."
Einzige Unterschiede dann, welche Art von Büchern zur Vertiefung empfohlen werden 😅
Ich dachte ja immer, ich bin extrem breit aufgestellt in bei welchen Fachgebieten und bei welchen Leuten ich die letzten Jahre mir Blickwinkel und news etc hole, aber von Theologie über Feminismus über SciCom über... bringen alle stabil "übrigens, gegen Faschismus früh wehren ist gut und wichtig."
Switching from "low carbon" and "non-fossil fuel" to "clean" when almost half of that refers to nuclear energy feels wild.
Yes, it has its advantages, but it is not clean. In Germany most of what we pay for protection of the environment goes into handling what nuclear energy left behind.
The richest man owns X.
The second and third richest men control Google.
The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.
And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.
See the problem here?
