    Literally, “water man” is correct. But I would translate it a bit more loosely as “water bearer”.

    Most, if not all, names of zodiac signs in Dutchare are literal translations from Latin. But while most people understand that Leo means Lion, how many know Cancer is Latin for crab?





  • You just want to absolve yourself of that moral responsibility.

    That’s exactly what you are doing. You’re focusing on this one issue, retreating yourself from the binary decision because neither options stands for what you (or I, or morality) would prefer. Completely ignoring that withdrawing from the choice plays into the hand of the infinitely worse candidate. So by not choosing, you do nothing to stop the situation in Gaza, but might actually make things a lot worse for people all over.

    You can virtue signal that you did not compromise on your believes, while actually helping your country make a worse place.


  • The reason there is a difference in how much light is reflected, is because the moon is in a different position. During a new moon, it’s on the day side of the earth (so in between the sun and the earth) while during a full moon, it’s on the night side.

    So there could theoretically be a gravitational effect, although I don’t think it would impact anyone’s sleep.

    If anyone is noticing a difference in sleep quality, it’s most likely indeed to do with the amount of light.

    bc they haven’t had as terrible of a racist past as the US

    You do know the Holocaust happened in Europe right?

    Other than that, I do agree with you. Europe is still very racist but we like to think we’re not. Just because it’s less talked about, doesn’t mean it’s not there.
