  Hopefully it’s a European billion (million, milliarde, billion, billiarde etc) so 10^9

  In German, if someone is too stiff, not wanting to have fun, not spontaneous enough, too much a stickler for the rules, we say: “get that stick out of your arse”

  Tetris is about trying to fit into a society, that wants to destroy you.

  Space invader is about uniting all of earth’s peoples against a common challenge.

  Pong is about the heated but honest exchange of ideas that makes a democracy stronger.

  (/jk I agree with you)

  I learned that as a child from my mum, so it seemed basic knowledge to me. But I guess, Americans don’t use scales that much.

  Most recipes say 100g per serving (1/5 pound) but it’s best to know your individual needs.

  I didn’t know him personally, but I still listen to his album “making mirrors” regularly.

  I recommend you check out state of the art

  The phone rings, that’s the knock. You can hang up for many reasons. Maybe it’s the culture of 100% availability that’s wrong, and not phoning.

  And thou shalt count to three. Three is the number thou shalt count to. Four, thou shalt not count to, neither two shalt thou count to. Five is right out.

  Empty landmass isn’t the only important thing.

  I.e. Florida, the third most populous US state (21M), is about half the size of the whole of Germany.

  But Germany’s most populous state (North Rhine - Westphalia / NRW) has a pop of 18M.

  It’s waaaaay smaller, but the n of inhabitants is comparable.

  To the point: I don’t think , it’s necessary to know the names of foreign states. But it’s good to know roughly what’s going on in the world. It is no secret, that US Americans are exceptionally caught in their own bubble.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I believe him on a factual level, but not on an emotional level.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Historically

  You use that term rather lightly. Idk, if I think “historically” my mind goes further back than 120 years. At least to the Spanish Habsburgs’ occupation, maybe even Burgundian era, Lotharingia, the Franks or the Belgae tribes.

  It is technically history, but that’s like saying: “Historically, I nourish myself with broccoli pizza” just because I had some yesterday.

  No, it’s not

  If you think about fair trade and rainforest alliance, there are many “green” labels and fair worker wage/ no slavery labels. Most of them are owned by a brand and not transparent.

  We could use some clarification there.

  We are trying to get along. We are already speaking English, which is a massive step in your direction. US commenters and posters don’t even bother to convert to kilometres or something. Or the worst: write about something that happened in AK as if everyone knows postal shortages of the US.
