  Yeah, that’s true. Although, not by much. I remember that in 1990’s there was still plenty of distrust towards them, as they were seen as nazis. Nobody wanted Germany to become strong. The 1990’s began 45 yeqrsnafter WWII had ended, and while the trust had been almost recovered, it was still not intact. I’m not sure if it’s even now: Germany is the biggest reason we didn’t support Ukraine militarily as much as needed back in spring 2022. They wanted cheap gas and were ready to accept horrors in the name of political realism. It’s hard at least for me to not see a connection between that cynicism and what the same cynicism led to in 1920’s and 1930’s.

  Yeah, that’s absolutely correct, I agree!

  But, it won’t return our trust towards USA. That will take decades, no matter what. Dethroning Trump is a good beginning. Or beginning of a beginning. But actual permanent changes would need to take place, amd I don’t really see them 8n the horizon.

  Oh, thanks for the heads-up! I edited the comment now. And know to be careful with this in the future!

  There are legislative bodies that exist precisely for changing such laws. Make an exceptional law that is valid for only this one time use and then hire new judges, some of which are allowed to be among the ones fired.

  So, basically one NATO member is saying that it will not honour its commitments if Spain ever gets attacked?

  And maybe this means that all official documents will have to be delivered to the Spanish by some other NATO member state?

  A suspension that suspenses nothing. Hooray.

  That would decrease my trust. It would look like they are doing nothing to learn from their FAFO.

  …and that time is about two generations. People reproduce at around age 25, so two generations are about 50 years.

  I hope other countries will heed the warning.

  Simple: refrain from doing any stupid shit for half a century. any stupid shit will kick the timer backwards 70℅ of the elapsed time.

  (There really is no other way)

  …if you already have some understanding of what is being explained. This did clarify it a bit more to me!

  Choosing between USD and EUR is a fraud scheme, though. They have an exceptionally bad exchange rate for the non-EUR currencies. It’s basically always cheaper (unless your own bank is an absolute madhouse!) to choose payment in local currency and let your bank do the conversion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do.contires that use commas for decimals read such numbers aloud?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  7,5 is read in Finnish at “seitsemän pilkku viisi”. 7.5 would be read as “seitsemän piste viisi”.

  The rule is that if it’s in decimal system, you use comma; if in any other system, you use dot. And you read what you write.

  …and whales are closely related, even if one step further separated – they only have three stomaches instead of four. But ungulates all the same!

  A centaur has explicitly horse features until a certain point, then explicitly human features from that point onwards.

  That would mean the upper part not being allowed to divert back to horseness/giraffiness, as the left pic does.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Intellectual Debate⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Cows are short giraffes, though… (And both cows and giraffes are just a form of land whale)

  It’s the human centipede. But giraffe.
