Did anyone else follow the mission? I loved it, and watched the launch, the Moon pass, the splashdown and tons of the other coverage. It was truly exciting and inspiring in my opinion, but what are your takes? I know DanS used to be into space, so it’s a shame he’s not active on here any longer.

Instead of the usual static relationship modifiers, what if leaders had dynamic personalities that shift over time based on in-game events (like wars, alliances, or even internal stability)? For example, a peaceful leader might become more aggressive after being betrayed multiple times.

So, I was digging in my writings, which I do once a year or so and found this masterpiece.
But since I a complete perfectionist, I have decided to correct a few mistakes in my translation that I've found.
So, enjoy a new version of "not your cup of tea"​

You are the only fan of my poetry here after all.

I believe it is a pretty perfect translation now.​

But, PLEASE, correct me, when you find any mistakes!!!



LIGHT MELTS THE ICE






I want so hard to read all of your letters,
While all of the others are just reading rap,
Your letters are full of handwritten digits,
Those are the dates of when we haven’t met,

At the place we are not: a grass grows high,
And sky touches a bottom of river nice!
At the place we are not: from sunrise to dusk,
Light melts the ice,
Light melts the ice…
Light melts the ice…


I want so hard to read all of your letters,
To taste in my mouth the order of words,
As syllables born on this sheet of paper,
I am being born from the seams that I was,

At the place we are not: a grass grows high
And sky touches a bottom of river nice!
At the place we are not: from sunrise to dusk,
Light melts the ice,
Light melts the ice…

Now I think that I am right in saying that I despise everything the americans or the anglos stand for, and I prefer an honest peace deal with a force I understand that is in the benefit of all.

If he wants to be a slave to the dictates of the neoliberal nomenklature I don't give a damn.

I believe and the majority of europeans agree with me (unless you're baltics or something) that a just peace with russia and a secure future for ukraine is the future

and we will win

i know the blobs are killing people in iran and there is a genodie in gaza and I'm very sorry and I hope things get better


however I can't help but thinking how great things are going, personally
you should not say this out loud because the fates are lurking and if they see a man getting too cocky and pleased with himself they will consider him arrogant and thrust bad luck on him.

but it is great. the weather is great the job is great the world is open for travel great health is great all is ok. we live such finite lives and before you know it it's over and you don't even know when this will be so don't get worried for something that is transient because so are you.

also there has been months upon monnths. haven't drunk anything except a beer at a rock concert. it is an amazing feeling of stability )the sobriety not the cocnert) I don't ever want to lose it.

anyway, yes clear open skies the sky is the limit beautiful world ]]> Off Topic Bereta_Eder https://apolyton.net/forum/miscellaneous/off-topic/9489048-what-a-wonderful-world https://apolyton.net/forum/miscellaneous/off-topic/sports-forum/9489025-nba Mon, 06 Apr 2026 21:24:01 GMT Sports Forum Demonbinder https://apolyton.net/forum/miscellaneous/off-topic/sports-forum/9489025-nba
