Quote from the article you didn't read:

Yeah, I know Chaos isn’t the same as Evil in OD&D. But I would also point out as nerdily as possible that on pg. 9 of Book 1 of OD&D, under “Character Alignment, Including Various Monsters and Creatures,” Evil High Priests are included under the “Chaos” heading, along with the undead. So I would put to you that Gygax did see a relationship between Evil and Chaos at the time.

You've got to drink enough in your youth, so you can live off the bottle deposits when you're old.

He won power because the conservative Centrist Party agreed to form a coalition with him and voted for him as chancellor, as well as for his Emergency Law that abolished democracy, even though he had written Mein Kampf years earlier, which already included plans for everything he did later, including the Holocaust.

Without their support, he wouldn't have had enough votes.

The only way 2024 stays the hottest year on record is if civilization breaks down this year and no one keeps the record anymore.

KISSmyOS ,

No, I meant it will be the last year on record, cause no one is going to keep the weather stations running.

I'm pretty sure that's the late period of the United States.

It's fascinating how Germany has a very similar separation of powers between the President and the Chancellor, on paper.
The President is the most powerful person in the country, officially. They can veto any law, dissolve the parliament, call for re-elections and nominate the Chancellor.
But in reality and by convention, the President's entire job is to shake hands, and give new-years eve speeches about putting the country's well-being above party politics, which are universally applauded, then ignored.

If a President were to actually use their powers to their full extent, it would trigger a constitutional crisis. They're simply not supposed to do that.

In Germany, the working class wants the far right. Even though that party promises to make life worse in every way for poor people in their party program.

Mainly because they're the losers of globalism, and the failed integration of immigrants. They can only afford to rent in areas that immigrants are pushed into for the same reason. So their kids go to school in classes where almost no education is possible because more than half the children can't speak German, and they are subject to crime and run-down surroundings.
Then it's easy to rile them up against immigrants, which seem to be the cause of their problems, instead of the upper class that actually caused all this, through the use of weaponized social media.

Ironically, but understandingly, the same immigrants who are also part of the working class, are drawn to the far right as well, because they suffer from the same problems as the German working class, and also feel that it'll get worse if more immigrants pour into their living space.

I personally know a woman from Hungary who votes far right to prevent more Hungarians from coming in, cause she fears they'll bring with them the same problems she moved to Germany to avoid.

Seconding your 5th point. Getting rid of my car (NO, autocorrect: not my cat!) massively improved my life. Even if I don't factor in the fancy restaurant visits and weekend vacations I take with my "car budget".

There's a lightshow at my town tonight involving an U-Boot from WW2 that's on its way to a museum. They plan to transport it on the river and rotate it on its side so it fits under the medieval bridge.
So I'm going to look at that.

KISSmyOS ,

no.
