Huge wildfires, then rain and mudslides caused many casualties in California. Cold waves in other parts of the USA also caused many casualties. I'm so sorry. I hope this crazy weather will stop. I'm not religious but it makes me wanna pray.
Wildfires in Argentina, extremely hot weather in Australia, and the biggest current catastrophe is fire from burning Iranian oil tanker. China struggles to end the fire, but there is a danger for a catastrophe like the "Deepwater Horizon oil spill" in 2010.
Please accept my deepest condolences to the families and friends of the deceased.

Cult of personality isn't charming nor charismatic
A cult of personality arises when a regime uses mass media, propaganda, or other methods such as government-organized demonstrations to create an idealized, heroic, and at times worshipful image of a leader, often through unquestioning flattery and praise.
Charming /ˈtʃɑːmɪŋ/ - adjective - very pleasant or attractive.
Charismatic /karɪzˈmatɪk/ - adjective - exercising a compelling charm which inspires devotion in others.
People are being hurt when those terms get confused. Hitler, Stalin were just a few of those who practiced the cult of personality in politics. Dear people of the world, please don't make the same mistake again. You should fire authoritative regimes and their leaders that want to be on TV often, acting as some celebrity, no matter of deceased victims.

IDN (Internationalized domain name) from my perception
An internationalized domain name (𝖨𝖣𝖭) is an Internet domain name that contains at least one label that is displayed in software applications, in whole or in part, in a language-specific script or alphabet, such as Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic, Tamil, Hebrew or the Latin alphabet-based characters with diacritics or ligatures, such as French.
Example of Greek 𝖨𝖣𝖭 with a domain name in the non-Latin alphabet: ουτοπία.δπθ.gr |
I live in Rudeš, it's a neighborhood in Zagreb, almost all my life. Back in 2004 when I first started Rudeš online (www.rudes.info) - web portal about Rudeš, there were so many critics.
As you can see, "Rudeš" is a non-Latin name because it contains the non-Latin letter "š". At that time the Internet, a project of the United States of America (𝖴𝖲𝖠), had only Latin letters support in assigning domain names to IP addresses.
It's a completely different story when you use the World Wide Web (abbreviated 𝖶𝖶𝖶 or the Web) as an information space for your online content. Ever since the Web non-Latin chars are available for the content.
Time has passed and now you can use your own, native letters and symbols for a website or email address name. There is little danger of phishing scams due to current technical limitations. Nevertheless, I would always redirect www.buecher.de ⇒ www.bücher.de, NOT www.bücher.de ⇒ www.buecher.de.
Nowadays, there are talks about the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (𝖨𝖠𝖭𝖠) and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (𝖨𝖢𝖠𝖭𝖭). There are some ideas that should be governed by the United Nations, but personally, I think 𝖨𝖠𝖭𝖠 and 𝖨𝖢𝖠𝖭𝖭 should continue doing great work in the current frameset.

ᵁᴾᴰᴬᵀᴱᴰ Timeless questions? ( 3ʳᵈ part )
1) Is there a difference between a play, game, and sports?
In psychology and ethology, play is a range of voluntary, intrinsically motivated activities normally associated with recreational pleasure and enjoyment. Play is commonly associated with children and juvenile-level activities, but play occurs at any life stage, and among other higher-functioning animals as well, most notably mammals.
A game is a structured form of play, usually undertaken for enjoyment and sometimes used as an educational tool. Games are distinct from work, which is usually carried out for remuneration, and from art, which is more often an expression of aesthetic or ideological elements.
Sport (British English) or sports (American English) includes all forms of competitive physical activity or games which, through casual or organised participation, aim to use, maintain or improve physical ability and skills while providing enjoyment to participants, and in some cases, entertainment for spectators.

ᵁᴾᴰᴬᵀᴱᴰ Reality TV is awesome, you can buy a new flat TV as low as $150!
Reality TV is awesome! Reality TV Show star Caitlyn Jenner coming out front as a transgender person in "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" was very inspirational for many beautiful 𝖫𝖦𝖡𝖳 people. I hope they all find the love of their life as soon as possible. It's never too late to express your real suppressed feelings, thank you Caitlyn Jenner for everything.

Please don't confuse transgender people with greedy athletes whose interest in medicine is only how to get profit.

Populism of the petty bourgeoisie
In theory, everyone should have equal opportunity, but be careful. The fast rise of populism of the petty bourgeoisie is possible where education is free. You can have families where parents have an only elementary school, and children on the other hand have college. "Superiority complex" doesn't have to be used just for individual psychology, I believe the term could be used in sociology as well.
Superiority complex leading to populism would be the common denominator for talks in these families. Short-term results of those talks are positive, long-term results are devastating. Please remember that the "Doomsday Clock" is all times height, the cause is the rise of nationalism.
Some examples of populism backward thinking by subject:

Some examples of populism backward thinking by subject:
- Economy: State protectionism and interventionism
- Geography and space exploration: We have to eat a lot of polenta to get into the universe, Flat Earth Idea
- Migration: like in Elysium, the movie
- Health care system: Family medicine
