Well, it's definitely intriguing who is funding it (and whatever the answer is, it's probably foreign). However, it's also probably solidly within the realm of free speech. The only way you can probably force the information into the open is if this is somehow a violation of campaign finance laws or something.

They can sincerely hold these beliefs. They will just believe "not that veteran"

Left wall probably backs onto another building -- no doors or windows on it.

Long baseboard heater tells me Linköping gets cold in winter ;)

Also, that fire extinguisher should definitely not just be sitting there.

New building? Probably that wall gets tastefully placed generic artwork eventually.

I actually only read the first four. Felt like a natural stopping point there. Pretty cool series though :)

Tangent, there is a fun fantasy book series by Adrian Tchaikovsky where all the main characters are humanoids with bug qualities. So basically spiderman, antman, mantisman, etc. It is entertaining when you mix fantasy tropes (dueling for honour!) with mantis arm spikes...

Outer Worlds 2 just wasn't as good without his full time oversight.

Penner is a common Mennonite surname, and there are are a lot of Penners in Canada. Mennonite low German (Plautdietsch) is more weirder.

The wiki page has some good sample texts comparing it between Dutch and Low German.

My surname (Unrau) is also Mennonite, but could be German.

This concludes my TED talk.

Yeah, would be an interesting lawsuit if she had proof of that statement.

On the flip side, I like that our courts publish proceedings. If we're having an open and transparent society, and we want to trust in our institutions, then this transparency is required. An conundrum, to be sure.

I mean, our courts publish proceedings. Wouldn't be hard to assemble a database from that info.

The accuracy of such a database (particularly when interpreted by an AI) would be hugely suspect. Also, hard to argue with a database when you're at the border being detained -- the guy detaining you didn't create the database.

Whole thing reeks.

 

The latest best-selling novels might be in your stack of beach reads, but could reading them benefit your mental health? That's the idea behind bibliotherapy, the concept of reading as a therapeutic method to improve our well-being.
