Elder blossom syrup?

Economically I’m leaning right - I want the state to provide free healthcare, schools, universities etc but founding a company has to be easier, we can’t afford to keep pouring 1/3 of our yearly budget into pensions on top of the budget for pensions etc.

Socially I’m leaning left - I don’t care at all if someone is trans, homosexual, whatever, and want men and women to have equal rights.

So I am neither left or right. And there also is a party that aligns with most of my beliefs (and is against some others but there never is a perfect party).

The issue is that internet politics are often viewed from a USA-centric standpoint. When I say I’m neither left nor right (because it depends on the topic, as explained above) I see memes like that come up. Although my economically right views for my country would be far left from an US-american standpoint anyway.

The short e in Mercedes is much closer to e than to ä

Given that the phone didn’t have USB-C that most likely means it was from like 2016, so it’s fair to say that it’s time to upgrade. Phones have gotten so much better since then, especially the cameras.

The difference is so narrow that I wouldn’t notice any difference apart from the length, the first and last e are very slightly shorter than the middle e. And of course you have the usual going-down-with-your-voice-at-the-end-of-the-word

Yes, and since we’ll never have understood everything there will always be magic :)

We have quantum entanglement, basically magic

The groups of cats I know accept each other but that’s it. Most cats I know, especially wild cats, are on their own.

Can we start calling it Bluesky?

What’s up with his daughter? Did she decide to switch name because he gave her a stupid one?

Churchill. Without him it’s not unlikely that the UK would’ve accepted Nazi Germany’s peace offer.

Euouae

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euouae

Euouae (/juː.ˈuː.iː/; sometimes spelled Evovae)[1] is an abbreviation used as a musical mnemonic in Latin psalters and other liturgical books of the Roman Rite. It stands for the syllables of the Latin words saeculorum Amen, taken from the Gloria Patri, a Christian doxology that concludes with the phrase in saecula saeculorum. Amen. The mnemonic is used to notate the variable melodic endings (differentiae) of psalm tones in Gregorian chant.

In some cases, the letters of Euouae may be further abbreviated to E—E.[2] A few books of English chant (notably Burgess and Palmer’s The Plainchant Gradual) make use of oioueae for the equivalent English phrase, “world without end. Amen”.

According to Guinness World Records, Euouae is the longest word in the English language consisting only of vowels, and also the English word with the most consecutive vowels.[3] As a mnemonic originating from Latin, it is unclear that it should count as an English word; however, it is found in the unabridged Collins English Dictionary.[4]

On the other hand having clearer forms allows for more complicated yet accurate sentences (not needed for communication but beautiful).

Ah ty, I thought they meant that the republicans said it, which - even when considering how surreal some of their takes are - would have surprised me.

Btw while I’m at it: I never got how half of the USA can ignore all these things and vote for Trump, but this article captured it very well (got recommended to me on Lemmy)

To all US-americans out there: please remember that the only realistic way to stop Trump is by voting for Harris.

When did they mention the Lügenpresse?

Meta probably is the hardest one given that in many influencal countries WhatsApp is the app everyone uses for communication
