I mean, I get why you wouldn't necessarily want to constantly remind people of past wars. It's a matter of pragmatism really. The guys you murdered yesterday may help you to murder someone else tomorrow. Or maybe we eventually stop doing so entirely, not constantly reminding people of past enemies might help either way.

I think the Anthem of Europe ('Ode to Joy') is really what a hymn should be. It's not about the past at all, it's about the future and ideals. The German Anthem is kind of nice too (even the part the Nazis generously reinterpreted in their favour, thus banned/omitted today). It's also about things to strive for, not triumph or wars. Would be really weird to sign about getting murdered by the French, liberating from the French, murdering the French, or murdering the French again, when I never even had a fistfight with a Frenchmen.

That's not to say I don't care about the past, but particularly the relationship between France and Germany goes to show what happens when you don't leave things in the past, and what is possible when you do.

You can also smell like Greek mythology (I got 'Heroic' and 'Colossus' lol)

I just straight up started wearing women's perfume. I really like sweet and powdery smells, as well as vanilla notes. You don't really get stuff like that 'for men', but their stupid labels can't stop me.

Spain? Aren't they among the most Israel-critical EU countries?

Stool stool. It's a must.

Also, try to drink enough water.

I don't even possess a round container. They're strictly less practical than rectangular ones

I need this as my actual desktop 👉👈

I mean, it's not a rounding error, but going from 4.5 billion to 80 billion is not shabby either

I totally get that sometimes you want to reinterpret stuff, I don't really get why you would want to do it with perhaps the most iconic movie series of all time, with actors who became synonymous with their characters...

I think I'm not the only one who looks at this like it's fan fiction. In they very best case I will see it as very good fan fiction. Fingers crossed, but I feel sorry for the actors and actresses already. I think there is a very high chance this will go very badly for at least some of them (actually kind of did so already)

Even so... Why traffic them? It doesn't seem particularly hard to breed cats..?

There are some very good points in there, I would like to hear the counter-arguments.

That will never happen and everyone knows it. Not because Germany is so evil, but because you cannot acknowledge one countries demands and not the others - and Germany simply cannot afford paying back all countries that suffered damages. It would also open up questions about collaborators (e.g. the Italian regime).

Germany is a net-payer in the EU, so every country in the EU is already getting reimbursed by proxy, while generating mutual benefit. This is a pretty good spot to be in and a state worth maintaining IMO.
