It's interesting to stop from time to time and realise how much of the discourse (or debate points) on this webbed site are US-centric
Like:
No one can take your organs even if you're dead and don't need them anymore - my country is an organ transplant opt-out, so unless you write a formal letter to the government (or your relatives strongly protest), any of your organs can be automatically passed on to someone else after you die
Criminals should be able to vote - in my country voting is considered a democratic right of every citizen, and there are committees that go to places with people with difficulty reaching the voting room (such as hospitals, prisons or nursing homes)
People under 18 are (not) basically children - we split the upper teen milestones to sexual consent (15yo), driving car with a certified chaperone (17yo) and voting/driving/drinking (18yo), which makes the 18th birthday less of a clear-cut line.
It's always morally correct to ... - until coming to tumblr, I had never been led to consider the morality of anything apart from thought experiments, I'm still baffled at what made you be aware of this at all times

One day until 24 June, 2025. Wonder if all the promises of Brexit will finally be realised!

Which path should he choose?

The path of the warrior, the path of the scholar, or the path of the artist?

If you're not sure how to pronounce a word of ancient greek or latin origin, a pretty good rule of thumb is to put the emphasis on the prepenultimate syllable
And if you're not sure what the prepenultimate syllable is, it's the one emphasised in the words prepenultimate and syllable
and emphasis
#I guess it should be antepenultimate#to avoid combining greek and latin roots#but I think prepenultimate sounds better#and television is a mix of the two and nobody's bothered about that

The haunting ancient Celtic carnyx being played for an audience. This is the sound Roman soldiers would have heard their Celtic enemies make.

Spin this wheel first and then this wheel second to generate the title of a YA fantasy novel!
(If the second wheel lands on an option ending with a plus sign, spin it again)

Poor thing. She keeps trying to start her report on the rain in Mexico City and people on motorbikes just keep disappearing into a hole. Must be very frustrating for her
