It's that nail that people remember though. Look at Caro. He probably changed how the tsa and the government look at mental health and no fly lists, and made change in unprepared policies. What have you done in your poo poo of a life zoux?

Gun rights were not going to change from this, and we all know it. if this gets the loving racist symbol of slavery and death taken down from a bunch of state buildings and helps black people have that tiny improvement in their lives, thats at least something.

It has its moments, but maybe not spoken. There are some things that a German word seems to encapsulate so perfectly because of its creative compound structure, like Greek. And I think it has its poetic moments when sung, as well. There's something very beautiful and very specifically German about the setting of Goethe in Mahler's 8th, for example.

icelandic is the largest of the surviving west-norse languages after old norwegian died out during the danish rule. now it's icelandic and faroese and, i'm told, an obscure language spoken by like five old people on one of the scottish isles holding down the fort

it's one of the closest surviving approximations of how the vikings spoke, and use an updated & latinised norse alphabet
