Honestly, though, there would be too many jokes and "innocent errors" about the name Harthacnut.

That would absolutely be a marketing benefit in England and not a drawback.

"European Russia covers the vast majority of Eastern Europe, and spans roughly 40% of Europe's total landmass, with over 15% of its total population, making Russia the largest and most populous country in Europe."

Emphasis mine

Yeah, "Europe" extends way further east than a lot of people (well, a lot of Americans at least) tend to think. I'm not immune to it either -- in sixth grade geography class, I recall that the Europe maps in the book pretty much ended at Romania, and anything to the right of that was just a purple blob labeled "USSR" extending off the edge of the map.

If it’s not purple in Twilight Struggle, it’s not Europe.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

I entirely missed the first date there, yeah. I blame the 3G implanted in the Covid-00 shots.

I like your style hombre, but this is no laughing matter. Assault on a police officer. Theft of police property. Illegal possession of a firearm. FIVE counts of attempted murder. That comes to... 29 dollars and 40 cents. Cash, cheque, or credit card?

The presence of "trill - joined" has led to me spending a lot of time looking for regular Trill on the chart.

It also reminds me of something a friend said:

Some years ago I saw Michael Dorn give a talk at a convention. I distinctly remember that during Q&A someone asked "Which Dax?" and he responded, with a perfectly straight face and doing the Worf voice, "Both. At the same time."

It's ridiculously bad, it says absolutely nothing, it's like a PragerU graph
