It's literally just a statue. Jesus will be fine. Protestants smashed a lot of Jesus statues, during the Bildersturm, and Jesus managed to recover.

They can't repair the facilities, anytime soon. Maybe, not at all, in some cases. They can't even put out the flames and they have no access to the EU-built repair parts.
What they could do, is raze them to the ground and replace them with Chinese versions. But then they would be even more at the mercies of Xi, and it would take years. Also, with what money? All of their money has been turned into bombs and dropped onto Europe. It is gone. They literally burned it.

The people who have sunk the most are the Russians. It's still not even clear what the point of the invasion was, but the government is bankrupt because the extraction industry that funded it is now emitting smoke visible from space.

I think it's very difficult for people that consider that the means justify the ends to even understand that the rest of society has no vested interest in tolerating hostile or even merely indifferent freeloaders, who passively receive great benefit from living within a state, but are allergic to contributing any money to it because they hate that very state.
The reason why such people don't simply pack up and leave, but usually prefer to stay put and dodge taxes or moan about them, is due to the fact that countries without effective tax collections tend to be shit and nobody wants to live in a shit place.

You forgot to mention that the USA and Britain and Russia (!) had signed a security agreement with Ukraine. The rest of Europe didn't.

Or, to put it differently, I agree with ancaps about most things, but not all things, and the agreement is incidental and not based upon a shared worldview.
The government is generally not as adept as the private sector at almost all tasks. Almost all. Not absolutely all. And, if not absolutely all, then taxes are not theft, they are membership fees for residents within a particular community or territory. Then only onerous taxation and wasteful government spending are the problem. Anyone who wants to leave and escape the fees, should be free to go, but charging fees is not inherently unjust.
As soon as someone does not think all taxes are theft and all governance is inherently evil, they have the opposite worldview of any ancap. And that is where I am at.

2026-04-20 14:25:31 UTC

I think the way ancaps freak out about Everyone Taking My Precious puts the lie to the idea that they are an inherently charitable people. Love of money is the opposite of charity (by very definition), so their instinctive responses don't pass the charity smell-test.
People who are inclined to charity, by temperament, are less singularly-concerned with controlling all of their money, or angered at some of that money going to the public purse, than with the effective and efficient application of their contributions toward helping those most in need.
I think it's very difficult for people who have this sort of monetary religion to even understand that lots of us don't mind paying taxes. We don't even mind paying a lot of taxes. (You have to earn a lot of money to pay a lot of taxes, after all.) We mind the amount of our taxes we think is misapplied or wasted, the general inefficiency of government sprawl, and the lack of subsidiarity.

The craziest thing about the war in #Iran 🇮🇷 is that we now know the real reason the USA didn't want to send Ukraine any weapons: **they were planning to acquire Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, and Greenland with those weapons**, so they were stocking up. And they have still run short and are diverting the ones the Europeans ordered from them.
https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/us-officials-tell-european-countries-expect-weapons-delivery-delays-sources-say-2026-04-16/
Yes, the Pentagon complained that the European NATO partners weren't helping them, but they also refuse to send them the weapons they had purchased from the USA. What is Europe supposed to do? Go to the Middle East and dance the Silly Dance on the boats, and hope the Iranians laugh themselves to death?

(_Dear European NATO: the USA is now unreliable defense supplier, in addition to threatening to invade you, and constantly starting foreign war adventures and expecting you to clean up after them. Please write this down. Try to keep up._)
We don't know what the Japanese and Taiwanese think about the United States dropping its stockpile of munitions onto scrap metal in the desert, and diverting its navy to there, but nobody asked them. Fuck them, amiright? All of East Asia has always been Chinese, anyway.
https://media1.tenor.com/m/bIrk9cK3XpEAAAAd/don%27t-be-in-denial-ali-wong.gif
This is also why the USA refused to condemn Putin for the invasion and instead had a little bromance with him: They agreed to not condemn him, he agreed to not condemn them. Everyone is happy. Everyone is a winner.
https://media1.tenor.com/m/eFpOHkbHhysAAAAC/winning-charlie-sheen.gif
Ironically, the only European country willing and able to help anyone in the Middle East fight against Iran was... drumroll, please... Ukraine 🇺🇦. They're now over there -- despite fighting their own war against an invading superpower -- teaching the Arabs how to protect their skies with drone interceptors.
And that's why the Americans were like,
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING OUR ALLIES! 😍
Ha ha. Just kidding. USA were _akshually_ like,
We were going to sell more Patriot missiles to the Saudis, you idiots. Your cheap-ass drones are bad for business. That is an unforgivable sin.

**This all seems so sudden to us, but none of this was sudden.**

Don't expect the American public to be of any political help, Europe. **The US public doesn't actually mind all of this military overextension, since there aren't lots of body bags returning home.** The USA is an empire. That's just the cost of doing business in Nueva Roma.

Anarcho-capitalism, like communism, would definitely be the perfect system. Unfortunately, it has never really been tried. 😏
In both systems, you have a strict, sociopathic ideology completely devoid of empathy for anyone weaker, unpopular, or less well-connected. That such a system would invariably lead to subpar outcomes for the population as a whole doesn't matter to its proponents. They love the system for its own sake, and not for what it would do.
When this is pointed out, they always yell and claim you are a traitor to their stringent dogmas, and probably a criminal, and attempt to arrange a public struggle session.

Huh? EU doesn't have anything to do with HVAC installation. That's a national topic. I know plenty of homes and businesses with air conditioning.
We just don't have it in most of the houses because it's pointless. The houses stay cool almost all year, due to the thick walls, so nobody wants to spend money on air conditioning that only runs for a few weeks in summer. We even have entire years where it basically never gets hot in the houses.
We've thought about getting one, for our apartment, but we just sleep downstairs in the guest bedrooms for a couple of days, so far. The ground floor never gets above 25°C because the house is essentially a castle. The walls are about 1.5 m thick and the windows are triple-glassed and have heavy-duty, external blinds.
Americans use air conditioning systems to heat, whereas we use heating systems for hot water. It's a different infrastructure.

I think this is a cardinal difference between Europeans and Americans. In Europe, we measure how well the country is doing by looking at how well the individual residents are doing. In America, the entire country is considered a raging success, if a few billionaires become trillionaires.
I would always assume that such a pin-point explosion in wealth and political power is _not_ a success, but evidence of raging graft and corruption. That money had to come from someplace, after all. Why is absolutely all of the money only going to a handful of people, while everyone else struggles to purchase food or pay rent or keep their business open?

I worked in a local artisan bakery, for a while. I was initially surprised how little we "worked" the dough, but we started baking at 22:00 and finished at 8:00 the next morning.
The amount of patience required was a shock. The really modern bakeries have slow-rise chambers and they put the dough in at 16:00, go home, and then come in at 5:00 and bake it. Which is so much nicer for the bakers and improves the crust.

I think a lot of guys really like this, even IRL, as it makes women look sexually available. But I find it difficult to speak with someone masked-up like that, as their face is sort of frozen into a particular expression by the harshness and the thick layering. Uncanny valley sort of stuff.
Also, just... I have no idea, at all, what this woman actually looks like underneath all of that spackle. I've had longer conversations with women spackled-up like that, recently, and I spend the whole time trying not to stare.

Countries need good marketing, nowadays. All of our attention is spread so thin, that you have to actively compete, advertise, and build trust, to get the world to care about what you care about.
I think the USA thought it became so rich and powerful because it was so wonderful, but it became so rich and powerful because _we thought_ it was so wonderful. Now, we think it kinda sucks. We want our money back, we stay away, and we avoid buying their stuff.

I just had to throw my bike away, today, as it was so worn down and worn out that we would have had to invest quite a bit of time and money, to get it working, again. And it was already 5 years old and worn out, when I bought it used, 10 years ago. I have been riding my son's old kiddie mountain bike, but I'm too big and heavy for it, so that one also had to go to the dump.
I keep thinking that I should just borrow everyone else's bikes and do more bike-riding, so that my heart gets fitter and I can finally make it up the hills without having to push.
It was kind of odd, tho, when we took a family bike trip last year, and people kept asking us what sort of e-bikes we were riding, as none of us have an e-bike. We must be the only people left without one. Like how we're the Last People Without WhatsApp or Thermomix. 🤣 Bavarian Amish.

Yeah, e-bikes are quite dangerous. My uncle fell and broke his hip with one. Very common.

A really high-quality trekking bike would probably be enough, but those are usually more expensive than a modest e-bike, nowadays, as you need better parts and workmanship. Mechanical anything is a luxury.
I sometimes ride Oma's old bike, if she doesn't need it, and it's a steel frame and really heavy, but the ball bearings are like magic. I can barely pick it up and carry it, but it glides so smoothly that I can get up the hills.

I think the issue is that people like for the dough to "look finished" before it rest-and-rises, but the rest-and-rising step is the one that turns it from a sticky, lumpy mess into a smooth, pliable dough.
This can be really problematic, if you are making a sourdough, as they start out really really sticky, so you'll have to add lots of flour to be able to knead it. And then you might end up with a rubbery brick.

Yeah, only stir with a dough whisk or big wooden spoon, allow it to rise twice, and then fold in more flour and shape. Don't actively work the gluten and turn the dough into a rubbery mess.
Most of the "working" is done by the yeast and the resting. Bread should always have a rise of at least 4 hours, even if you use commercial yeast instead of sourdough. Just use very little yeast, like a 1/2 teaspoon.

Stop kneading your bread.

Far-right and far-left logic be like:
> Stephen cheered when John was fired.
> We do not like Stephen.
> John should not have been fired.
This is a logical argument the Germans call _Beifall von der falschen Seite._ Where you judge everything based upon what some third party thinks about it or how they respond to it, rather than examining the situation from your own standpoint.
This is why extremists are rightly seen as unfit for government. Their minds are completely addled by tribalism, so that they cannot think clearly about anything at all.
Dumb ideas that come from "The Good People" are considered Good Ideas.
Smart ideas that come from "The Bad People" are considered Bad Ideas.
They never entertain the option that even a broken clock shows the correct time, twice per day.

Swahili turned out to be a big rewrite with custom packages, so I'm going to skip it, for now.
Added British English.

At the moment, I've restricted it to a small subset, but the API actually does all sorts of dialects. Including British English.

Also, how ironic is it that the PM of Hungary is named "Mr. Hungarian".
Name checks out, amiright?
That's like when a baker is called Mr. Baker.

I'm not trying to say that autism is a superpower and — in our distracted ADHD world — has effectively become a prerequisite for an effective opposition leader...
But I kind of am saying that.

Has anyone been watching Magyar and thinking that Orban just messed with the family of the wrong autist?
Not that I am thinking that, but like... anyone else thinking that?
And, like, Trump, Putin, Orban... These guys are just looking old and worn out and out of touch. These are not 21st century leaders. Dudes, take a hint and go work on your golf game, or something. Move on.

Secret Service says Erika just made up the threat. No credible threat. She lied. 🤷🏻‍♀️
In fact, Erika was _already in Georgia_ and had probably even been to the venue. TPUSA is so over.

And then the scandals happened and the people who had been pushing for liturgical reform and gay priests and feminism left because their work was done, except for female priests, so they had to go reform that with the Anglicans...
And we, the remnant, stayed put, and now we are here.
