English is only the lingua franca for now, but that, as well as the English language, will inevitably change.
Well, what other language should be used? Latin is the language of science because there’s no way we’d ever agree on which alive language to use.
In Europe you can usually download an app for the public transit in that specific country/city. However, Google Maps is the only one that will show you how to get to a specific address (not just the train/bus station).
My home country (Iceland) has the highest gun ownership in Europe. It’s not much compared to the US, but it’s interesting that we have almost no gun violence. The reason is that we have very strict gun control with thorough background checks, mandatory training and psych evaluations. In addition to that, we have a functioning healthcare system and low income inequality. All these things need to be adressed before the US sees a decrease in gun violence.
Bumblebees fly in a very non-threatening pattern (slow and predictable). Wasps fly like they could suddenly decide to fuck you up at any moment, which is why I’m reluctant to approach them.
But I’m not afraid of regular bees so this may not be what triggers your fear. Also bumblebees are just straight up adorable
There must have been some magic in
That elder rune they found
For when they carved it in his head
He began to slash and pound
I know “state-funded media” is an ominous word to Americans, but most European countries have their own government broadcaster and news organization, entirely funded through taxes.
Those generally offer high-quality non-biased journalism (of course it’s always based on how authoritarian the government is). The British BBC, the Swedish SVT, the German DW etc. are all publicly owned broadcasting companies.
Well said!
