I would say patriotism is when you love the ideas a nation is built on and stands for, while nationalism is when you love the people and history of a nation.

As a european it’s very hard to love the former, since we’ve been here for more than a thousand years meaning whatever ideas our forefathers might have had in mind are rightfully gone now. However over this time we developed our own culture and became a nation of people which we can love instead.

Nationalism doesn’t have to be toxic as it’s often depicted, if someone belives their nation is “better” that’s called chauvinism. Nationalism is just when you feel your nation is special for you at least and that makes you want to better it.

But lukewarm and mid isn’t.

Bowties are cool.

I don’t see how someone couldn’t make you forget something and then remind you at the time they deem is right. I mean the point of this image is the mystery and I think that would be myterious enough.

Just watched that episode for the first time and somehow it didn’t even occur to me

I hear that’s been an issue of debate in the Vatican since around the 70s and one of the cardinals is very keen on summoning a council to settle it.

I don’t know how to read that, so just take my upvote and pray we don’t meet again.

My bad

Here in europe both are taught in elementary school.

Edit: spelling

This is a pradox though. If the scientist succeeded then the machine isn’t really using sarcasm and if they haven’t then it’s lying.

Shouldn’t a woman and a man with the same height, weight, and body-muscle percentage be basically identical in terms of athleticism or am I wrong?

Isn’t that what a password-manager should solve?

The fact that my first reaction to this was shouting “fuck you” internally probably just reenforces the idea that short people get aggressive about their height.

I like this. It’s not really helpful in the sense that it seems almost as hard as being perfect yourself, but nonetheless it’s possible, contrary to the alternative.

Don’t get fooled, that’s called stockholm syndrome.

If that’s the case why change the tires? Why not just remove the clamps?

And I removed the “the” in much the same way.

I hate this picture so damn much. It’s so obvious how this wouldn’t work, yet people have been reposting this for ages.
