The only thing that carried me through rough times was a hobby where I regularly meet a group of people for sports. Then you live so you can go there again the next week.

Unrelated but does Eternity correctly support Links now? (to comments / threads)

This drove me to Jerboa, but I prefer Eternity's UI so I'd be pleased to go back if that's fixed.

I like to say that there was a bad side and an even worse side, so I'm glad the bad side won.

You'll remember that the Jews weren't the only people the Nazis targeted - they weren't even the first.

To add context: in the KZ Mauthausen (don't know numbers for other KZ) only 20% of the people were Jewish. Most were Slavic, some other minority, political opponents or (basically also political opponents) people who refused to comply with the regime.

But then there's also the seven heads (seven trump headquarters), getting shot in the head thinking it's fatal but surviving seemingly through a miracle, the ones about his relations to the kingdom to the south, resulting in criticism from the north and east etc

Of course it's coincidence (at some point there just has to be someone who can be accurately described with these prophecies) but it's still very interesting

I don't believe in the coming of an antichrist but damn, why do so many prophecies written two millennia ago point to one specific person, especially when those prophecies are so specific

I like to read the biblical texts as texts you have to interpret. Basically like fairytales and fables are in versions that aren't from the brothers Grimm and especially Disney - they often were used to carry points that wouldn't have been tolerated by authority if they hadn't been covered like that, or simply to tell about some aspects of life.

When reading it like this the Bible is an extremely interesting book, and I'm saying that as an atheist.

It's the result of colonization.

I'm using Firefox as my only browser. If everything works in Firefox that's fine for me.

That's the best advantage of only making websites / web applications for fun (for friend groups, video games, family etc)
