    Yes, but shes gorgeous without it as well. She wears little make up, except for some stuff around the eyes. I really like her eyes, and the makeup does make them even prettier.

    I somewhat disagree, 5€ is too low to get a decent wine imo. Buy a wine for 10-15€ and there is no longer any difference from the 500€ one.

    The last point however is the key, and I agree wholeheartedly. If you can find one for 5€ then that is good enough

    I have the game installed now 😀 I like that all steps go towards a goal of some sort.

    Found a tiny typo with the name for one of the hairstyles. If you search through your codebase for "adn bun" you will find it. Its probably supposed to say "and bun" 😊

    I am no Microsoft fanboy, but I get the impression people are a bit overly skeptical here.

    I think this is fairly obvious. They have no further use for it, they can either let it rot or they can do the tiniest bit of effort and get some positive PR. It might also just be as simple as an initiative from some employees.

    The advantage with democracy is that it is slow and most of the time end up with fairly sensible results. Decisions are often so complex that it is impossible for one person to actually understand it all. A consortium of advisors could fill that role, but they have to be benevolent and trustworthy too. Their decisions have to be based on something, so the advisors need researchers and people gathering intelligence and statistics. Those people also have to be trustworthy.

    All these layers have to be with as benevolent as possible. In a well functioning democracy, all layers would feel safe. It is really important to be safe from harm when giving bad news, or telling the dictator/advisors that their idea is really dumb, and would be a waste of resources or have a bad effect.

    You could argue that a benevolent dictator would welcome bad news, other arguments. However the difference in power would certainly make it scary anyways.

    Succession is another issue, and mental decline. Some people become quite mean in old age.

    The closest thing I could envision might work is some sort of semi-democratic technocracy. I still think improving democracy is better though

    Watch videos from these three and you will learn a lot:

    Ben Felix

    Plain Bagle

    Two Cents

    Avoid any youtubers that give advice on specific stocks to buy. All mentioned above are professionals, with different specialities within finance and personal finance.

    Also be very skeptical about cryptocurrencies. If you really want to invest in it, then consider a very low allocation. Maybe 1-2% of your net wealth. Most cryptocurrencies and projects are a scam. The youtubers I suggested do not promote crypto, or specific stocks.

    I am not a professional, so keep that in mind :)

    Google Pixel because of GrapheneOS

    i also really like Fairphone. In a perfect world the fairphones would have the same or equivalent security chip as the Pixels. I'd really prefer to buy a european smartphone due to privacy and install GrapheneOS.

    GrapheneOS is a must for me.
