We have sold the same glass of lemonade back and forth between eachother 8 million times so somehow we both have negative tax rates now!

The closest I can come is blackletter or fraktur scripts that were once used for generic languages. As far as letters go they are silly and overcomplicated, with Latin scripts being far easier to read and more adaptable to different visual styles.

With that being said, they do have their own old-timey charm and there is something satisfying in being able to pick up a old book in blackletter and read it when you know that most people can not.

Fun fact: Blackletter was only used for Germanic languages. If a text contained non-Germanic passages it was normal to set those in Latin letters while the rest was set in blackletter.

I love the idea of a modern runic script, suitable for contemporary Scandinavian languages. Would you care to elaborate on your thoughts on this?

Whatever type of chilli mayo I feel like making that day. Or remoulade, the sweet Danish mayo-based condiment with chopped pickles and curry powder.

Someone I knew was living in an old building with old-timey fuse boxes placed outside the apartments. When she got tired of her idiot neighbours partying on a weekday night for the millionth time despite being asked to dial it down she finally had enough and went to the fuse box and took away all the fuses to the neighbour's apartment.

She never had trouble with noise again.

I don't know the details of how the US legal system works but isn't a plea bargain essentially the same as a settlement in civil cases?

If so, it should (at least in theory) have very little prejudicial value since the courts did not rule on the question if Assange's culpability.

I know that in the real world the US regime once again learned that it can get away with murder and journalists all over the world have already learned the lesson that the evil empire will fuck them up if they air their dirty laundry. But from a legal nerd point of view a settlement should be quite useles as a precedent.

Everybody will know that this is a forced confession anyways so who cares?

Taiwan is China, even the separatist regime in Taipei agrees on that.

I hate to be a killjoy but I wonder how many of the people who answered "Yes the war has killed or injured hundreds of thousands of people and it needs to stop" really meant to say "Yes the war has killed [etc...] and it must stop with a negotiated settlement resulting in the unconditional surrender of Russia".
