What's up with his daughter? Did she decide to switch name because he gave her a stupid one?

Churchill. Without him it's not unlikely that the UK would've accepted Nazi Germany's peace offer.

Uxor, Uxoris, f. (Latin) = wife

Euouae

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euouae

Euouae (/juː.ˈuː.iː/; sometimes spelled Evovae)[1] is an abbreviation used as a musical mnemonic in Latin psalters and other liturgical books of the Roman Rite. It stands for the syllables of the Latin words saeculorum Amen, taken from the Gloria Patri, a Christian doxology that concludes with the phrase in saecula saeculorum. Amen. The mnemonic is used to notate the variable melodic endings (differentiae) of psalm tones in Gregorian chant.

In some cases, the letters of Euouae may be further abbreviated to E—E.[2] A few books of English chant (notably Burgess and Palmer's The Plainchant Gradual) make use of oioueae for the equivalent English phrase, "world without end. Amen".

According to Guinness World Records, Euouae is the longest word in the English language consisting only of vowels, and also the English word with the most consecutive vowels.[3] As a mnemonic originating from Latin, it is unclear that it should count as an English word; however, it is found in the unabridged Collins English Dictionary.[4]

On the other hand having clearer forms allows for more complicated yet accurate sentences (not needed for communication but beautiful).

indirectly

Say there are 9 voters. Four vote for Trump. Five heavily disagree with Trump (more than Trump's four supporters). Three of them vote for Harris, two refuse to vote. Then these two people helped Trump since he's winning now.

It works exactly the same on a much larger scale.

Meta probably is the hardest one given that in many influencal countries WhatsApp is the app everyone uses for communication

“I have been exploring a special prompt that I will be publishing at a later date, I have created hundreds of images using it, and after many weeks of fine-tuning and curating my generations, I chose my top three and had them printed on canvas,” he writes.

"you're not doing the work, you are telling the camera to do the work based on a setting you found / created, at best you could argue you own the copyright to the setting, but not to what the camera captured. You did not take a photo, the camera took it"

But does the artist get 100% of the credit? Ignoring copyright for now, this is just a thought experiment, who's getting how much credit?

Karl Habsburg currently would be the emperor. But obviously he simply has the same rights as any other citizen (doesn't even have a "von" anymore), as it should be, so he isn't politically relevant

Then minister of inner affairs Herbert Kickl (who is now likely to become chancellor)

Is he? Every single party has said they will not be forming a coalition with Kickl.

My bet is that either the FPÖ drops Kickl (which is possible but unlikely since he brought them their best result in all of their history, 29%), forming a coalition with the ÖVP (People's Party), or they refuse to drop him (more likely) and the ÖVP forms a coalition with the SPÖ (social democrats) and NEOS (economically right (less regulation), else left).

Another thought experiment: If I hire an artist and tell them exactly what they should draw, which style they should use, which colours they should use etc does 100% of the credit go to the artist or am I also partly responsible?

What about "I Generate"?

Not voting indirectly also is a vote for Trump.

If I take lots of photos, print out and frame one of them but delete the others, will I become an artist?

He spent weeks on fine tuning tbf

It's like photography: Photographers often spend weeks trying to get the perfect shot, should they be allowed to copyright it?

Update: They won, but every single party has said they will not work together with Herbert Kickl. Maybe with the FPÖ without him though (they didn't specifically rule that out), but I doubt the FPÖ will be willing to drop him after getting their best result in history so far (nearly 29%).

The only possible coalitions without it would be ÖVP (people's party) + SPÖ (social democratic party) + NEOS (center (economic right (less regulation) else left)) or ÖVP + SPÖ + Green Party.

Technically ÖVP + SPÖ would also work by a very slim margin (out of 92 needed mandates to form a coalition (183 mandates in total) they're getting 92 or 93) but wouldn't hold much power (failing to get a majority if one single mandate doesn't agree to something) which is why it's more likely that they also include NEOS or the green party.

Also important

The song was adopted and glorified by the Nazi Schutzstaffel (SS) as a "song of loyalty." The Nazi resistance sang the song too.

1. The SS only used an adopted version.
2. It was sang by the resistance.

If we were to condemn all songs that were sang by Nazis we'd have to condemn pretty much all old German songs.

Which phone OS are you using?
